After Paris Saint-Germain burst Arsenal’s post-Real Madrid bubble in the Champions League on Tuesday, Thursday was England’s day in Europe.In the UEFA Conference League, a heavily rotated Chelsea side hammered Djurgarden 4-1 on artificial turf in Sweden. In the Europa League, Manchester United produced one of the shocks of the competition, putting their five-game Premier League winless run behind them to beat Athletic Club 3-0 in Bilbao.On the other side of the bracket, Tottenham Hotspur took care of business in north London, beating Norway’s Bodo/Glimt 3-1. Glimt are excellent at home, and the Arctic conditions and plastic pitch at the Aspmyra Stadion will act as a leveller in the second leg, but Spurs’ two-goal advantage makes them firm favourites to reach the final.It won’t be the first...

Deandre Ayton - Efficient double-double vs. NOP Ayton logged 20 points (10-11 FG), 16 rebounds, two assists, one block and two steals in 36 minutes during Friday's 118-104 victory over New Orleans. Impact Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves led the way for the Lakers in this victory, but the impressive performance of Ayton can't be overlooked. The big man, who had a few problems adjusting to the offense at first, has been putting up good numbers of late, though this was his most efficient performance by a wide margin after missing just one of his 11 shots. This was Ayton's fifth double-double of the season, and it was also the fourth time he scored at least 20 points. Since missing the Nov. 2 win over Miami, Ayton is shooting an impressive 48-for-63 from the floor in six games -- good for a 76.1...

Ange Postecoglou believes Tottenham Hotspur are held to different standards from other clubs, saying on Wednesday that “Spurs does crazy things to people”.Postecoglou was responding to Arsene Wenger’s views that the Europa League winners should not necessarily get a Champions League place, and suggested that the issue had only been brought up because Tottenham were on the brink of the Europa League final.Wenger, who is world governing body FIFA’s head of global football development, had said that UEFA should reconsider the rule that allows the Europa winners to play in the next season’s Champions League. Tottenham will be in the Europa League final on May 21 if they defend their two-goal lead against Bodo/Glimt on Thursday evening, meaning that they would be one game away from qualifying f...

(Photo by Ezra Shaw/Getty Images) The Golden State Warriors needed every bit of Stephen Curry’s brilliance on Friday night. In one of the most electric performances of the season, the 37-year-old poured in a season-high 49 points to lift Golden State past the San Antonio Spurs 109 to 108 in NBA Cup play.The night was special on its own, but the history that came with it elevated it even further. Curry recorded his 44th career 40-point game after turning ...

When your season hinges on one game, you want a fully fit squad. But Tottenham Hotspur travel to Bilbao next week to face Manchester United in the Europa League final shorthanded. Midfielders James Maddison, Lucas Bergvall and Dejan Kulusevski are out injured, and Spurs’ midfield suddenly looks light on creativity and star quality.One positive for manager Ange Postecoglou, though, was Son Heung-min’s return on Sunday against Crystal Palace after a month out with a foot injury. Yet there’s a case for leaving the South Korean out of Wednesday’s starting line-up, and the arguments go beyond fitness concerns.With his blistering pace and razor-sharp finishing, Son has been a devastating force in Tottenham’s attack since arriving for £22million ($29.3m) from Bayer Leverkusen in August 2015. Form...

Photo by Matthew Stockman/Getty Images Erik Spoelstra, Miami Heat The Miami Heat entered this season with tempered expectations and a roster still searching for its long-term identity. After an uneven start and a year defined by retooling around Bam Adebayo, Tyler Herro, and newly acquired Norman Powell, Miami’s focus has quietly shifted toward the future. It is still early, but the latest Bleacher Report mock draft gives the Heat a prospect who fits their developmental philosophy perfectly.Jonathan Wasserman has Miami selecting Houston forward Chris Cenac Jr. at No. 20, an 18-year-old 6’11 prospect whose mix of size, touch, and raw perimeter skill has evaluators intrigued.Heat Rumors Highlight Cenac’s Upside As A Long-Ter...

NEW ORLEANS — Austin Reaves scored 31, Luka Doncic had 24 points and 12 assists, and the Los Angeles Lakers cruised to a 118-104 victory over the New Orleans Pelicans in an NBA Cup game on Friday night.
