NBA
Knicks lead the NBA Finals 2-1 over the San Antonio Spurs. New York won the first two games, but San Antonio fought back in Game 3 on Sunday night at Madison Square Garden. Rookie Stephon Castle hit a massive late three-pointer and sealed the game with free throws to keep the Spurs alive.
Karl-Anthony Towns — yes, the former Timberwolf — is in the MVP conversation. He and Knicks teammate Jalen Brunson are considered the top two candidates for Finals MVP. KAT has been sensational in the spotlight.
Spurs star Victor Wembanyama has been quiet by his standards. The 7'4" sensation hasn't dominated the way many expected, and San Antonio needs more from him if they want to climb back into the series. Game 4 is next.

College Sports
A judge just shook up college football. Texas Tech quarterback Brendan Sorsby was granted eligibility for the 2026 season via a court injunction after the NCAA tried to sideline him amid a gambling investigation. It's the latest chapter in the NCAA losing legal battles left and right.
Early offseason hype teams: LSU, Notre Dame, and USC. These are the programs generating the most positive buzz heading into summer workouts — take that for whatever it's worth in June.

UFC held an event at the White House. Yes, really. UFC Freedom 250 took place on the grounds, with Dana White and the promotion pulling off a logistically wild event — complete with security coordination and portable bathrooms for 4,300 guests.
