Nets crush Celtics to take commanding 2-0 series lead
NY Post
The Nets said they weren’t themselves in their playoff-opening win. If this is the real them, it’s Scary Hours for the rest of the Eastern Conference.
Brooklyn showed the kind of dominance it envisioned when it went all-in for its Big 3 of Kevin Durant, James Harden and Kyrie Irving. The kind that has them looking like title favorites after a 130-108 Game 2 evisceration of Boston before 14,774 at Barclays Center. Eight years after the ill-fated Kevin Garnett-Paul Pierce deal with Boston that left the Nets devastated, they took a huge step toward exorcising those basketball demons. Despite mortgaging their future that day, the Nets and GM Sean Marks have somehow managed to craft an even brighter one that was put on full display Tuesday.
SAN DIEGO — As you may have seen elsewhere in this newspaper (and also if you haven’t deleted me yet from your social media), I have a book coming out Tuesday called “The Bosses of The Bronx.” Much of it details the 37 years’ worth of antics, winning, losing, winning again and overall mania of George Steinbrenner’s time with the Yankees.

Cade Cunningham, almost inarguably the best player in the East this season, is likely out for the remainder of the regular season. That’s the word out of Detroit following the depressing news that Cunningham punctured a lung when he took a knee to his side Tuesday from Washington’s Tre Johnson while chasing a loose ball.

Wednesday was another positive day at Yankees camp. For the first time since March 6, 2025 — an outing in which he knew “something wasn’t right,” which began a weeks-long saga that ended on the operating table for Tommy John surgery — Gerrit Cole was back on a mound and facing hitters in game action.
