Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 03:49:54 GMT

Frustrations and tension can flare amid big moments of important contests, but things reached a boiling point during a second-quarter timeout of Minnesota’s victory Sunday over New Orleans.Kyle Anderson looked to be calling Rudy Gobert out on a couple missed assignments that contributed to the deficit the Timberwolves were facing at the moment, and Gobert reacted by taking a shot at Anderson. Taurean Prince quickly rose out of his seat to push Gobert, and the center was sent into the tunnel.The Athletic reported that Gobert and Anderson got into another altercation in the locker room at halftime before the team ultimately made the decision to send Gobert home.“His behavior on the bench was unacceptable and we will continue handling the situation internally,” Timberwolves president of basketball operations Tim Connelly said in a statement.Timberwolves coach Chris Finch said the decision of whether or not to play Gobert in Minnesota’s first play-in game Tuesday...

Column: Mickelson begins road to redemption at the Masters

AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP) — Phil Mickelson will never receive the sort of adulation that once shadowed his every step.Too many missteps along the way.But give Lefty credit. He sure LIVened things up Sunday afternoon at the Masters.Already the oldest major champion in golf history, the 52-year-old Mickelson made an impressive run at a fourth green jacket.The fans were a bit timid in their response, even after he drained a 15-foot birdie putt at the final hole for a 7-under 65 — the best score anyone posted on a brisk Easter afternoon. Yet there were definite signs of warming toward the guy who led golf into an ugly civil war.Mickelson has never backed down from his decision to sign up with LIV Golf, eagerly accepting a generational amount of wealth from the Saudi-backed tour, even while acknowledging it came with all sorts of sportswashing baggage.He wound up being the unlikely standard-bearer for the rebel league’s first major showdown with the PGA Tour, though he didn’t want to...

Brooks Koepka collapses as Jon Rahm rolls to Masters win

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 03:49:54 GMT

AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP) — Brooks Koepka will no doubt hear the same murmured joke no matter where he goes in the coming days and weeks.If only the Masters was 54 holes.Like those tournaments on the Saudi-back LIV Golf circuit.If that was the case, Koepka would’ve been wearing a green jacket on the 18th green at Augusta National, rather than making the dejected march from there to the locker room. He had a four-shot lead over Jon Rahm when they resumed third rounds that had been halted by weather, and a two-shot lead when the round finished, before shooting 3-over 75 in his final round.Rahm closed with a 69 to finish at 12 under. By the time Koepka slid a birdie putt past on his 72nd hole, he was left at 8 under and tied for second with LIV Golf compatriot Phil Mickelson, whose finishing 65 had sent him shooting up the leaderboard.The previous three times Koepka had a 54-hole lead in a major, he went on to win.“Obviously it’s super disappointing, right? Didn’t play good e...

So I need to change my schedule up going forward to be a little sharper during (Masters) week.”The 2015 Masters champion said he got “lazy...
