Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 04:08:19 GMT

Mikal Bridges’ deep sigh pierced through the deafening silence wafting about the home locker room as he walked from his locker to the bathroom.He blew it — and he knew it.“I love my guys to death and I told them, that’s on me, I’m sorry I couldn’t come through and just win some games,” he said. “I just wanted to make some shots but I promised them I’ll be better next time.”The Nets thrust Bridges into the No. 1 scoring option role when they acquired him in the deal that sent Kevin Durant to the Phoenix Suns. After averaging 27 points per game in Brooklyn in the second half of the regular season, the Sixers slowed him down.Bridges shot 43 percent from the field in his four-game playoff series. His only efficient basketball came in the first half of Game 1 before Sixers head coach Doc Rivers game planned against him as the lead scorer.Bridges shot 10-of-16 from the field in the first half of that game.

Anthony Volpe’s 2-run homer, DJ LeMahieu’s walk-off single lead Yankees to 3-2 win over the Blue Jays

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 04:08:19 GMT

Saturday’s pitching duel between the Yankees’ Gerrit Cole and the Blue Jays’ Alek Manoah lived up to the hype.But after both starters departed, Anthony Volpe and DJ LeMahieu stole the spotlight.Volpe, a 21-year-old rookie, scored the first runs of the game in the eighth inning when he took a Yimi Garcia fastball the other way and over the right field fence at Yankee Stadium. The two-run home run, the second of Volpe’s young career, gave the Yankees a 2-0 lead after Manoah spent most of the afternoon shoving.A curtain call soon followed, though Aaron Boone and bench coach Carlos Mendoza had to prod the reluctant shortstop, who ultimately clapped at the crowd instead of offering a traditional wave or tip of the helmet.“It was pretty crazy. I didn’t really know what was going on, I guess, and I didn’t want to assume to go out or anything like that,” Volpe said with a smile. “I didn’t even know where to go.”Boone said the...

DIGHTON — If ever there was a must-win game in April, Saturday was it for the Dighton-Rehoboth softball team.After a win over Bourne, vacation week was shaping up as a potential disaster for the Falcons with consecutive lopsided losses to South Coast Conference wagons Case and Apponequet.

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 04:08:19 GMT

ATLANTA — Before Robert Williams walked over to meet reporters at the Celtics’ team hotel on Saturday, Joe Mazzulla apparently had a quick message for him.“Yeah, get a MF’n rebound,” Williams said. “Yeah, get a rebound.”It was further evidence that rebounding remains the Celtics’ No. 1 emphasis as their first-round series against the Hawks continues. The message was as important as ever just hours after their Game 3 loss on Friday night, when the Hawks crushed the Celtics on the glass with a 48-29 rebounding edge.Williams didn’t mince words on why that happened.“Honestly just a team lack of effort,” Williams said. “Can’t really blame it on anything. Rebounding is all effort, all physicality. 50/50 balls, you know, just looking to step that up. …“I feel like they’re putting an emphasis on physicality, which they’ve been beating us this whole series, if you ask me,” Williams added. “And it’s something we’ve been putting an emphasis on.”The Hawks didn’t miss much on Friday – they finis...
