No team has rallied from 3-0 down to win an NBA playoff series.Doncic scored 40 and beat the first-quarter buzzer with a 32-footer that got the crowd going with the Mavericks again at home trailing 2-0, as they did against top-seeded Phoenix before winning the West semifinal series in seven games.But that shimmy-inducing bucket was a blip on an otherwise rough night from 3-point range for the Mavericks, who missed their first seven and finished 13 of 45. Reggie Bullock and Maxi Kleber, two long-range specialists for Dallas, missed all 12 of their 3s combined and were 0-15 overall. Both went scoreless, offsetting Spencer Dinwiddie's 26 points off the bench. Jalen Brunson scored 20.Wiggins' dunk over Doncic was originally ruled an offensive foul midway through the fourth quarter. The Warriors challenged, and the ruling was Wiggins' elbow to Doncic was incidental contact, giving Golden State a 93-83 lead.About a minute later, Wiggins, who had 11 rebounds, moved quickly down the right baseline for a follow dunk on a miss by Curry as the Warriors extended their NBA record with a 26th consecutive series in which they won at least one road game.One of Dinwiddie's 3-pointers got Dallas within five points with 1:15 remaining, but Jordan Poole answered with one from the left wing just inside the final minute.WHAT JUST HAPPENED?The most tense moment of the series came late in the first half after a corner 3 from Curry capped an 8-0 run that put the Warriors in front by a point and helped them to a 48-47 halftime lead. And it left Curry confused.Curry ran the length of the court with his tongue hanging out after Dallas called timeout. As he circled back toward his bench, Curry walked by Doncic with teammate Juan Toscano-Anderson nearby. Doncic appeared to take issue with something Toscano-Anderson said and started toward the Golden State bench before officials along with coaches and players from both teams intervened. Meantime, Draymond Green and injured Dallas guard Tim Hardaway Jr. exchanged unpleasantries about 45 feet apart. After the timeout, Curry could been seen saying, “What happened?” and approached Doncic to talk about it. The exchange ended with Green as the peacemaker with Doncic. TIP-INSWarriors: Green got a technical foul, his second of the series, after an extended conversation with official Marc Davis when he was called for a backcourt violation when he hurriedly tried to step back over the midcourt line to catch a long, unexpected pass from Curry. The crowd was howling for a technical and finally got it. Seconds later, Green was called for his first foul and didn't like the call. But he directed his complaint at his own bench instead of the officiating crew. ... Otto Porter Jr. who averaged 10.5 points on 82% shooting the first two games, limped to the locker room in the first half and was ruled out with left foot soreness.Mavericks: Bullock won the Kareem Abdul-Jabbar social justice award. He has been active in the LGBTQ+ community. His sister, a transgender woman, was killed in 2014. Bullock worked with several organizations in the Dallas area after signing as a free agent in the offseason and has long been active in similar pursuits in his native North Carolina. ... Dorian Finney-Smith got a technical early in the second half for an elbow to the back of Green after a made Dallas free throw.___More AP NBA: https://apnews.com/hub/NBA and https://twitter.com/AP_Sports","portalUser":{"id":"8dFR8PhLJl4s","name":"AP","username":"associatedpress","photo":"https://ik.imagekit.io/o8plo3y5if/AP-200x200_TbSS3S6KN.jpeg","role":8},"opinions":[],"liveblogStatus":true,"lastReply":null,"replyUser":null,"userMentions":[],"lastCommentMentions":null,"lastReplyMentions":null,"checkIn":{"latitude":"32.7831","longitude":"-96.8067","name":"Dallas,United States","city":"Dallas"},"keywords":"Dallas,Doncic,Golden State,NBA,DALLAS,Stephen Curry,Andrew Wiggins,Luka Doncic,Klay Thompson,the NBA Finals","originalPublishedOn":"2022-05-23T03:54:13.902204+00:00"}},{"node":{"id":"8nSmfXyjWQ3P","slug":"english/nba-fines-mavs-100000-for-3rd-bench-violation-in-playoffs","title":"NBA fines Mavs $100,000 for 3rd bench violation in playoffs","postType":1,"coverMedia":"/Mavericks_Warriors_Basketball_50629_7NScK0lML.jpg","coverCaption":"Dallas Mavericks players watch from the bench area during the second half of Game 2 of the NBA basketball playoffs Western Conference finals against the Golden State Warriors in San Francisco, Friday, May 20, 2022.

The people of Tasmania have been so welcoming,” the 58-year-old Roth said on Friday. “Obviously it was a fairytale season but we have so much more work to do. We woke up a sleeping giant and now we’ve got to keep it awake.”Tasmania’s imports Josh Adams and Josh Magette (United States) and MiKyle McIntosh (Canada) were a big part of the club’s success. Roth said talks with the trio would commence next week, with the NBL entering its free-agent period.“We’ll try to be as accommodating as we can to make them come back here, Roth said . “But there are always other opportunities.”JackJumpers chief executive Simon Brookhouse said Roth has built a strong foundation for the club. “I know the players love him and respect him. Nearly all the players said the one reason they were here was because of our coaching staff,” Brookhouse said said. “Scott not being able to see his family for the best part of 18 months (was) really tough.

He’s averaging nearly 30 points per game in this postseason, has reached the 40-point mark three times in his last 10 games after having zero such regular season games since 2017, and carried the Miami Heat over the Boston Celtics in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference finals.But say “scorer” to him, and he will scoff in disdain.“I’ve been a quote-unquote scorer at other points in my career, and it didn’t work out too well for me,” Butler said.Things have been working out just fine so far in this postseason for Butler and the top-seeded Heat, who’ll look to take a 2-0 lead in the East title series when they play host to the second-seeded Celtics again on Thursday night. It won’t be easy: The Celtics are 3-0 after losses in these playoffs, winning those bounceback games by an average of 14.7 points and getting two of those victories on the road.But it remains unclear if they’ll have defensive player of the year Marcus Smart (mid-foot sprain) back for Game 2. The Celtics were also without forward Al Horford (health and safety protocols) for Game 1 — his status seems dubious at best for Game 2 given the NBA’s return-to-play rules — plus said coach Ime Udoka was sick Wednesday with a non-COVID illness.“We have a lot of confidence,” Celtics center Daniel Theis said Wednesday as his team gathered for a film session.Game 1 was a 118-107 loss for the Celtics on Tuesday night, though Boston pointed out after the game that the combined scores of the first, second and fourth quarters added up to Celtics 93, Heat 79.That pesky third quarter, however, counted.A 39-14 romp by Miami in those 12 minutes — Butler had 17 points in that quarter alone, outscoring the Celtics by himself — turned the whole game around, and the Heat never saw their lead trimmed to less than nine in the final quarter.“Expect us to play better,” said Boston forward Jayson Tatum, who had six turnovers in that pivotal quarter. “Expect myself to play a lot better.”In other words, he’s expecting to get to a higher level.Butler is already there.He’s averaging 29.8 points, 7.7 rebounds, 5.4 assists and 2.3 steals in these playoffs on 53.5% shooting. Since the NBA began charting each of those statistics, nobody has finished a postseason averaging so much in each category while shooting that well. And Heat coach Erik Spoelstra has a simple reason why Butler is in this space.“Heightened attention to detail,” Spoelstra said. “But again, I don’t want to get in a long dissertation about it. If you’re driven by competition, and the stakes get raised, you’re going to raise your level of play. It’s not about trying to get bigger numbers. It’s about doing what’s required. And this level is high level, this competition, and he senses it, and he knows it. He feels it.”Butler went 17 for 18 from the foul line in Game 1. The only player to make, or take, more free throws in a game against Boston this season was Kevin Durant — who was 18 for 20 for Brooklyn in Game 2 of the first-round series between the Celtics and Nets.“He’s comfortable,” Boston’s Jaylen Brown said of Butler. “He’s very comfortable right now, and we’ve got to do a better job of breaking that rhythm that he’s in. That’s it. We’ve got to take the challenge.”Butler’s last 40-point game in the regular season came on Jan. 25, 2017, for Chicago — three franchises and more than five years ago. But he’s had five such games in the playoffs since coming to Miami, the first two coming in the bubble two years ago when he carried the Heat to the NBA Finals. The other three have been in the last month, when he’s carrying the Heat again, despite his insistence that he’s not carrying anyone.“I don’t care if it’s a big stage or a little stage or who is watching,” Butler said. “I do what I do for my family, for my people, for my organization and for my teammates. That’s it. Doesn’t matter if it’s a big stage, home or away. I know why I do what I do.”___More AP NBA: https://apnews.com/hub/NBA and https://twitter.com/AP_Sports","portalUser":{"id":"8dFR8PhLJl4s","name":"AP","username":"associatedpress","photo":"https://ik.imagekit.io/o8plo3y5if/AP-200x200_TbSS3S6KN.jpeg","role":8},"opinions":[],"liveblogStatus":true,"lastReply":null,"replyUser":null,"userMentions":[],"lastCommentMentions":null,"lastReplyMentions":null,"checkIn":{"latitude":"25.7743","longitude":"-80.1937","name":"Miami,United States","city":"Miami"},"keywords":"Jimmy Butler,Boston,Celtics,NBA,Miami,MIAMI,the Boston Celtics,Marcus Smart,Al Horford,Ime Udoka","originalPublishedOn":"2022-05-18T16:09:23.028840+00:00"}},{"node":{"id":"MvA2hsO3RIWm","slug":"english/nba-jimmy-butler-scores-41-miami-heat-take-game-1-from-boston-celtics-118-107","title":"NBA: Jimmy Butler scores 41, Miami Heat take Game 1 from Boston Celtics 118-107","postType":1,"coverMedia":"/opoyi_FGsbD-VIa.jpg","coverCaption":"Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler.

Two of those arrested have been identified as shooters. Nine of the 11 guns that were recovered were fired that night, Norman said at a news conference.Three people were killed in separate shootings around the city the following night.Norman said police will be deploying additional officers and resources and will be enforcing a curfew already on the books for youth ages 17 and under. He said violence will not be the “new normalcy” and asked the community to help.“Our path forward to a safer Milwaukee requires that everybody join together in partnerships,” Norman said. “Standing on the sideline is not an option.”Said Mayor Cavalier Johnson, We especially need, especially need, parents to step up. We need parents to step up now.”Seventeen of the people were hurt Friday when two groups who had been feuding appeared to randomly run into each other after the playoff game between the Milwaukee Bucks and Boston Celtics. Officials played video Tuesday that showed one of the groups congregating on a street corner when the other group walking on a sidewalk emerged from behind a building, starting the exchange of gunfire.“First of all, you've got individuals that we just saw on video who had a complete and blatant disregard for their fellow citizens and their lives,” Johnson said. “They shot in a crowd where there were hundreds or thousands of people that were gathered. That is totally acceptable and we cannot stand for that in Milwaukee.Norman said investigators have not determined if there was any known gang affiliation but called it a “dispute between two groups that came to a head when they saw each other that unfortunate night.” Police have yet to determine motives for the other two shootings.The Deer District is a 30-acre entertainment center that was developed after Fiserv Forum opened in 2018. It features numerous bars and restaurants where large crowds often assemble to watch major sporting events or to attend festivals.The first shooting Friday was at 9:10 p.m. about five minutes before the game ended, when three people, including a 16-year-old girl, were injured. One person was hurt in the second shooting about 10:30 p.m. police said. The confrontation between the two groups started at 11:09 p.m.Two people have been charged.

Rajon has a history of volatile, erratic, explosive behavior. He is verbally, emotionally, and financially abusive.

He calls her names like 'thot, b----, and d------.' Rajon has made several threats on my life, saying at various times he will shoot me or shoot up my car. In the motion, Bachelor described an alleged violent outburst by Rondo on May 11 when he became angry after she asked their son to separate laundry while he and his father were playing video games. She said Rondo lost his cool and ripped the game console from the wall, smashed things at the house. He told Bachelor you're dead when she attempted to deescalate the situation.

And the Bucks kept dropping further behind.“I’d rather miss a bunch of shots and keep playing, keep coming and keep being aggressive ... than go into passive mode,” the Bucks star said after the Celtics won Game 7 of the Eastern Conference semifinals 109-81 on Sunday to end Milwaukee’s hopes of back-to-back titles. “I can live with that.

He has the vision of a point guard and a wide array of low-post moves. He has plenty of range, too. The player nicknamed “Joker” is one of a kind. That's true right down to where he accepted his second straight MVP title — at his horse stable in Sombor, Serbia. He even rode to the barn on a two-wheeled cart pulled by his horse.He was once the 41st pick, and taken while the Taco Bell commercial played. Not that he even knew that day.“I was sleeping,” Jokic said Thursday in a Zoom call from Serbia.Now, he's inspiring a new generation of international players to dream big.“I think I put an example that you can do whatever you want to do, if you work hard or if you try hard,” Jokic said. “I think it’s really, really a nice journey. Hopefully, it’s not going to stop.”The 27-year-old Jokic averaged 27.1 points, 13.8 rebounds and 7.9 assists on a team that was missing two max players in Jamal Murray (ACL) and Michael Porter Jr. (back). The versatile center elevated his game to become the first NBA player to eclipse 2,000 points, 1,000 rebounds and 500 assists in a season.As the 13th player to win back-to-back NBA MVP titles, his name will be forever linked with the greats such as Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, Moses Malone and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. Jokic now has a chance at a three-peat, which would put him the same company with Larry Bird, Wilt Chamberlain and Bill Russell.“I can’t compare myself to those guys,” Jokic said. They did a lot and if you say those names anywhere in the world, they will know them. They did everything for the sport today. They were amazing. They won a lot of championships. “But just to have my name be there, I think it’s really cool. Just one day someone’s going to say my name with those group of guys.”In typical Jokic fashion, his celebration was far from elaborate: “Some music and some beer,” he said. “Pretty simple.”Plenty of friends, family and members of the Nuggets joined him in Serbia, including coach Michael Malone and president of basketball operations Tim Connelly. Some — including him — wore shirts with a quote across the front: “Some people want to see you fail. Disappoint them.”Jokic takes great pride in that sort of mantra, rising from a player whose game was once maligned — flopper, slow feet, poor defender — to what he is today. Through all his fame, he remains a player of simple delights. Chief among them, his family. His horses, too. “That’s my stress relief,” Jokic said of his time with his horses. “It keeps me calm and keeps me really, really relaxed. I really love to do that in my free time. I think that’s what I’m going to do when I finish my career.”He will pair his new MVP trophy with his first one, which he found after it had been misplaced during a recent move. But he's got his eye on an even bigger prize: An NBA title. “All those individual awards are something that come and go. People are picking who's going to win it,” Jokic said. Championships are you winning it.___More AP NBA: https://apnews.com/hub/nba and https://twitter.com/AP_Sports","portalUser":{"id":"8dFR8PhLJl4s","name":"AP","username":"associatedpress","photo":"https://ik.imagekit.io/o8plo3y5if/AP-200x200_TbSS3S6KN.jpeg","role":8},"opinions":[],"liveblogStatus":true,"lastReply":null,"replyUser":null,"userMentions":[],"lastCommentMentions":null,"lastReplyMentions":null,"checkIn":{"latitude":"39.7392","longitude":"-104.9847","name":"Denver,United States","city":"Denver"},"keywords":"NBA,Serbia,Taco Bell,Nikola,Jokic,the Denver Nuggets',Sombor,Jamal Murray,ACL,Michael Porter Jr.","originalPublishedOn":"2022-05-12T22:12:23.667181+00:00"}},{"node":{"id":"xiDOkChuc8m2","slug":"english/bucks-warriors-try-to-close-out-second-round-series-at-home","title":"Bucks, Warriors try to close out second-round series at home","postType":1,"coverMedia":"/Bucks_Celtics_Basketball_69208_cScItec-9.jpg","coverCaption":"Milwaukee Bucks guard Jrue Holiday (21) is embraced by Pat Connaughton while celebrating after blocking a shot by Boston Celtics guard Marcus Smart (36) in the final seconds of play during the second half of Game 5 of an Eastern Conference semifinal in the NBA basketball playoffs, Wednesday, May 11, 2022, in Boston.
