Julius Randle (still) missing | NBA

Hard to recognize Julius Randle. Whoever embodied this hungry leader last year, to bring the Knicks back to the Top 4 in the East and be rewarded with an MIP title and an All-Star star is now only the shadow of himself, with air pockets that multiply, and a frankly suspicious attitude. Author of 11 points at 5/12 shooting, 6 rebounds and 4 assists in 27 minutes on the floor of an unleashed Miami team, he went through the meeting like a ghost to finally be left on the bench in the last act. “All players go through difficult times”, tempered Tom Thibodeau which therefore refused to overwhelm its leader. “But when the scoring isn't there, you can't let that rob the team of your intensity. Often it's aggressive actions that get you into the game. This is probably the most important...

"Les Miles told me he thought I could play cornerback," he recalled. Chas...

Luka Doncic set the tone of the game by scoring 13 of his team's 20 points in the first quarter, but the Mavs struggled to stop an extremely incisive Stephen Curry – Andrew Wiggins pair.

Australian Open (W) – Iga Swiatek in the Australian Open semi-finals

Manhandled by Kaia Kanepi (4-6, 7-6 [2], 6-3), Iga Swiatek managed to turn the situation to his advantage. The Pole will play her second Grand Slam semi-final at the Australian Open.

This is the second time that the Pole has invited herself to the last four of a Grand Slam, after Roland-Garros 2020, from which she ended up lifting the trophy.

Wells Fargo Center is no longer the 76ers’ inviolable stronghold | NBA

« Frankly, that doesn't make any sense. Even Joel Embiid struggles to explain it. Winners this weekend on the Spurs floor, the 76ers have improved their away record with now 17 wins for 9 losses. Philadelphia is thus the third most successful team away from its bases, behind the Suns and the Nets. The concern is that like the latter, the players of Pennsylvania are much less efficient on their own floor: 10 wins and as many defeats. « In the past, we used to feed on fan support at home and this year it's the opposite. I always try to play very well, at home or away. But it seems that we are more united outside because of the opposing fans. We rely on us », analyzes the pivot of the Sixers. This trend questions among Sixers who have reigned for several years in their Wells Fa...

We'll see where we stand from day to day." In his mind it was always about winning the next game.Despite a strong comeback, the Buccaneers failAt 27:30 his Tampa Bay Buccaneers against the Los Angeles Rams did not succeed.
