The Houston Rockets, boasting reigning MVP Harden among their number, were well beaten 108-94 at Fiserv Forum on Tuesday, Antetokounmpo contributing 19 points to the Bucks’ cause. Both he and Harden (23 points) were relatively quiet and late in the game the Bucks fans loudly chanted for their man to be named the league’s most valuable player come the end of the season. “I noticed that, I heard it, having the greatest fans in the NBA is awesome,” Antetokounmpo told reporters....

According to the Daily News, a Giants spokesperson said Hill won’t be punished because the issue is “a private, personal matter that his is dealing with.” Hill has been suspended twice with the Giants, including the first four games of this season for violating the league’s substance-abuse policy.

To be fair, we can’t call Matthew Stafford an “old dog”, but much has been made of his relative struggles since his monster 2011. The organization addressed these struggles via the coaching staff, bringing in several guys tasked with getting their franchise QB back on track. One of those additions is new offensive coordinator Joe Lombardi, who comes over from the Saints, a team that knows a thing or two about offense....

Gillespie was due to take charge of Australia’s second string in South Africa for matches in July and August, but the tour was called off due to the pay dispute between Cricket Australia and the Australian Cricketers’ Association. The former Australia paceman will now turn his attention to a temporary role with PNG as a replacement for Dipak Patel. PNG play against a National Performance Squad side, the Australian Indigenous team and a Queensland XI in Australia next month....

We defined a “gimmick match” as, in any way, adding a rule/stipulation to or removing a rule from a match, changing the physical environment of a match, changing the conditions which define a “win”, or in any way moving past the simple requirement of two men/women/teams whose contest must end via a single pinfall, submission, count out, or disqualification. We’ve already done one tribute this week to the Broken One but, to further honor the former guru of Mattitude, as well as the fact that this writer is embarking on a DELIGHTFUL spring break staycation, today’s Gimmick Some (Wrestlemania) Lovin’ focuses on an Extreme Rules clash between Version One himself and his brother, former tag team partner, and future Brother Nero, Jeff Hardy from Wrestlemania 25....

While the existence of several new Star Wars spinoff shows isn’t exactly news after several were announced at once at a Disney event in December, it’s possible one project was held back due to the same issues that just came to a climax with Carano. Reports suggest that Disney executives purposefully refrained from announcing a separate new show starring Carano as her Mandalorian character Cara Dune, possibly because they were already discussing options on how to deal with her behavior....

After an incredibly strong showing ever since it first premiered, Mugen Train conceded the number 1 rank as The Final just slightly pulled ahead in its first weekend. Based on the Gintama anime series that’s been running in various forms since 2006, the new film certainly has some clout behind it, which likely helped its numbers. It seems that, even though Demon Slayer is among the most popular franchises in Japan right now (to the point that Demon Slayer’s theme song won the industry’s top musical honors) the old guard still has some fight in it....

The rest of the major leagues? The Chicago White Sox hope the 6-foot-6 right-hander is ready to dominate there, too. Giolito took a no-hit bid into the seventh inning in his first start of the season, and the White Sox beat the Royals 6-3 on Sunday to avoid a three-game sweep in the season-opening series. “It feels good to start off on a good note,” Giolito said. “Throughout my whole career, I’ve always had my not as good starts earlier in the year, and I wanted to change that this year....

He was at it again Saturday night, with a goal and two assists to lead the Calgary Flames to a 3-1 win over the Vancouver Canucks. “He puts it all out there every time he’s on the ice,” goalie Mike Smith said. “And he’s getting rewarded for all the hard work he puts in with points this year.” The 35-year-old defenseman has 72 points in 73 games, and is currently riding a seven-game point streak during which he has two goals and eight assists since March 10....

Wright-Phillips took home the MLS Golden Boot with 24 goals and was closely followed by Villa, who netted 23 times. Kljestan led MLS with 20 assists in a season that saw him return to the fold for the U.S. national team. MLS Wrap: Bradley shines in TFC playoff win Giovinco, last year’s MVP, was a notable absence from the list of finalists. The Italian had another brilliant campaign in 2016, with 17 goals and 15 assists, but was possibly overlooked because he missed five games down the stretch with an injury....

title: “Get The Right Surge Protector For Your Electronics” ShowToc: true date: “2022-12-20” author: “Cheryl Allen” While the typical solution is to get either a surge protector or power strip, these options have important differences to consider. Most surge protectors are also power strips, but power strips are not necessarily surge protectors. You’ll often find them in the same aisle at the hardware or store. But you should know the difference before buying....

Garin Cecchini, 3B, Boston (NR). With Will Middlebrooks struggling in Boston, Cecchini is looking like the answer for the Sox at third base. He’s not a power guy, but he does have elite plate discipline and great hand-eye coordination. As I’ve mentioned before, there’s more than a little Wade Boggs in Cecchini’s profile. Currently hitting .308 at Triple-A, Cecchini could quickly get the call to Boston if Middlebrooks continues to flounder....

Before the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic canceled major sporting events across the world, including the NCAA Women’s Tournament, Ionescu looked to lead the projected 1-seed Ducks to the national championship, just four years removed from the Women’s National Invitation Tournament. Ionescu very well could have done just that; she is the NCAA’s all-time leader in career triple-doubles and the Pac-12 Conference’s all-time leader in assists. Ionescu won the Naismith and Wade trophies — on top of her second-straight Wooden Award — as the best player in women’s college basketball for the 2019-20 season....

The beveled tip of a Huber needle will not remove a core of silicone from your port—this prevents a chunk of silicone or skin from lodging in your catheter line (an all-too-common complication) and makes your port last longer. Dr. Ralph L. Huber, a dentist, designed the sharp, beveled, directional needle tip and Dr. Edward B. Tuohy, an anesthesiologist, refined it for use in spinal catheters. It’s a good idea to ask your infusion nurse for the length and gauge of Huber needle that works best with your port and keep this information in your health notebook....
