You're tuned into Sports Desk, let's get after it.
Buffalo's power play woke up at exactly the right moment — the Sabres took Game one against Montreal four to two Wednesday night, converting on the man advantage in a way they simply hadn't been able to do since March. The power play looked sharp, disciplined, and dangerous, and that changes the entire complexion of this second-round series.
Shifting to Fenway, the Red Sox did something in one hundred and twenty-four years of franchise history that had never been done before — beating Detroit with four runs on four hits and fourteen strikeouts in the same game. That is a franchise first, full stop, and it speaks to just how locked in Boston's pitching staff is right now.
Over in basketball, Nick Nurse and Philadelphia came into their matchup with New York having clearly done their homework on Jalen Brunson — tighter coverage, more attention, a real defensive scheme built around slowing him down. It worked better than it has. It just didn't work enough. Brunson still led the Knicks to the win, because that's what Brunson does.
That's your play-by-play.
