Dave Roberts is not happy in Los Angeles. After a six to two loss to the Brewers on Sunday, the Dodgers manager called out his club on both sides of the ball, and the timing couldn't be worse — that defeat cost LA a critical tiebreaker in the race for home-field advantage. When your manager is publicly torching the roster, you know the pressure is real.
Shifting to the hardwood, Sunday's Fever-Dream matchup delivered everything you want in a rivalry game. Angel Reese put up another double-double, but it was a point-blank miss at the end of regulation that defined the night. Atlanta forced overtime and ultimately won, but Reese's viral fast-break finish couldn't erase that costly moment — and Skip Bayless, for whatever it's worth, called both sides of it before the opening tip.
And in Boston, Paul George is already drinking the Celtics Kool-Aid. After his first visit to TD Garden, George says he's ecstatic about joining the franchise, and by the sound of it, he's not there just to collect a paycheck. He wants a ring, and Boston just handed him a real shot at one.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
