Timberwolves hold off Warriors in OT
March 29, 2019
By The Associated Press

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) Karl-Anthony Towns made a free throw with 0.5 seconds remaining in overtime after Stephen Curry led a frantic rally to tie the game, lifting the Minnesota Timberwolves to a 131-130 victory over the Golden State Warriors on Friday night.

Minnesota led by nine with 1:41 remaining in the extra period before Curry made three 3-pointers during an 11-2 run, including the tying one from the corner with 0.5 seconds left.

But Towns was fouled by Kevin Durant on the ensuing inbounds pass. He made the first free throw to give him 15 points, missed the second and time expired as Towns secured the offensive rebound.

Curry made 11 3-pointers and scored 37 points for the Warriors, who dropped into a tie with Denver for the top seed in the Western Conference playoffs. Durant added 23 points.

CELTICS 114, PACERS 112

BOSTON (AP) - Kyrie Irving hit a driving layup with 0.5 seconds left and Boston beat Indiana to move into fourth place in the Eastern Conference standings.

Both teams have identical 45-31 records, but the Celtics lead the regular-season series 2-1, giving them the current inside track on home-court advantage in a first-round series.

Irving finished with 30 points and five assists. He has scored at least 30 points in six of his last seven games. Al Horford added 19 points and seven rebounds. Aron Baynes had 13 points and 13 rebounds.

If the current standings hold, the teams would meet in the first round. Their final regular-season meeting is Friday in Indiana.

Bojan Bogdanovic led the Pacers with 27 points. Thaddeus Young added 18 points and nine rebounds. Myles Turner finished with 15 points and 11 rebounds.

NUGGETS 115, THUNDER 105

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) - Jamal Murray scored 27 points and Denver beat Oklahoma City.

Nikola Jokic added 23 points and 16 rebounds for the Nuggets, who won all four meetings with Oklahoma City this season. Denver entered the night one game behind Golden State for the best record in the Western Conference.

Russell Westbrook had 27 points, nine rebounds and nine assists, and Paul George had 25 points and nine rebounds for the Thunder.

TRAIL BLAZERS 18, HAWKS 98

ATLANTA (AP) - Damian Lillard scored 36 points, Al-Farouq Aminu added 17 and 11 rebounds, and Portland extended its winning streak to a season-high six games with a victory over Atlanta.

Portland took charge with a 16-0 run in the third quarter that pushed the lead to 21 points. The Hawks pulled within 10 early in the fourth on Trae Young's runner, but Zach Collins' follow dunk and Jake Layman's difficult three-point play made it 97-82 to remove any remaining suspense.

Lillard, with his 26th game of at least 30 points, outplayed Young, who scored 18 of his 26 points in the first quarter.

The Blazers have won nine of 10 and are in third place in the Western Conference.

Atlanta's three-game winning streak, tying its longest of the season, was snapped.

JAZZ 128, WIZARDS 124

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) - Donovan Mitchell scored 35 points, Joe Ingles added 18 points and 10 assists, and Utah beat Washington.

Rudy Gobert finished with 13 points and 17 rebounds for the Jazz. Jae Crowder added 18 points and Ricky Rubio chipped in 17. Utah shot 55 percent from the field to win for the ninth time in 10 games.

Bradley Beal scored 34 points and Bobby Portis added 28 points and 13 rebounds for Washington. Thomas Bryant had 11 points and 12 rebounds.

LAKERS 129, HORNETS 115

LOS ANGELES (AP) - LeBron James had 27 points and nine assists, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope scored 25 points and Los Angeles ended Charlotte's four-game winning streak.

Kyle Kuzma added 20 for the Lakers, who have won three straight at home. Lance Stephenson had 14 points and 13 rebounds off the bench.

Kemba Walker scored 24 points and had six assists for the Hornets, who trail Miami for the final playoff spot from the Eastern Conference by two games with seven games remaining.

Saturday’s 6-pack

NCAA betting props and how they’re making out:

— AAC 3.5 wins- They won three (Houston 2, UCF one) UNDER

— ACC 15 wins- Sitting at 12 wins, with Duke/Virginia still alive.

— A-14 0.5 wins— they went 0-2, with Saint Louis/VCU both losing. UNDER

— Big East 3.5 wins— Seton Hall/Villanova won one game each. UNDER

— Big 14 10.5 wins— Sitting at 12 wins. OVER

— Big X 7 wins— Sitting at six wins, with Texas Tech still alive.

Quote of the Day
“In 2009, just days after my May 22 hiring as President of Basketball Operations for the Minnesota Timberwolves, the agent for Steph Curry told me that Steph’s father, Dell, did not want his son to be drafted by Minnesota—“No offense.”
Former Minnesota GM David Kahn, who wasn’t good at his job

Minnesota took Jonny Flynn, Ricky Rubio with the #5/#6 picks in that draft; Golden State took Curry with the #7 pick.

Saturday’s quiz

************************

Saturday’s List of 13: Clearing out a cluttered mind…….

13) Auburn 97, North Carolina 80— Didn’t see this coming. Since 1993, Tar Heels were 13-1 in this round; not sure if Nassir Little’s illness was a factor, but the whole team looked sick and kind of lackluster.

NCAA enforcement people must be thrilled; Auburn had one assistant coach indicted last year, another one has been suspended as part of the adidas payoff scandal. Now the Tigers are in the Elite 8 for only the second time (1986). Go figure.

Bad news for Auburn; they lost F Chuma Okeke with a knee injury that the Auburn people said was likely a serious one.

12) Duke 75, Virginia Tech 73— Understood that this is irrelevent, but Duke is 0-3 vs spread in this tournament, 3-12 vs spread in their last 15 games. Tre Jones was shooting 23.2% on the arc before this game; he went 5-7 Friday and saved the Blue Devils’ butts.

Buzz Williams is supposedly off to Texas A&M next season; if he doesn’t already have a deal with the Aggies, his price tag probably went up a little during this game.

11) Michigan State 80, LSU 63— Spartans get to the Elite 8 for first time in four years; since 2005, Izzo is 4-1 in Elite 8 games. As for LSU, their search for a new coach heads into high gear, since HC Will Wade is also part of the adidas debacle.

10) Kentucky 62, Houston 58— Tyler Herro scored the last five points of the game; Kentucky will play SEC rival Auburn in the regional final Sunday.

9) Cardinals 9, Brewers 5— In his second game for the Cardinals, Paul Goldschmidt hit three home runs.

8) Opening Day rosters in the major leagues have 251 players who were born outside this country, representing 20 different countries and territories.

7) Coaching carousel:
— Cal Bears hired former Nevada/Georgia coach Mark Fox.

6) Brewers closer Corey Knebel will undergo Tommy John surgery next week; Josh Hader is expected to do most of the closing for Milwaukee.

5) Angels OF Justin Upton will be out 8-12 weeks (turf toe).

4) West Virginia could have eight returning basketball players next season, but four of them put their names in the transfer portal, which means they might transfer. They don’t have to, but obviously they’re looking into it. Mountaineers could have as many as nine scholarships open.

3) This was Virginia’s third Sweet 16 in the last six years; it is their second Elite 8. In the 13 years before Tony Bennett got to Charlottesville, Virginia won a total of one NCAA tournament game.

2) Colorado 6, Miami 1— CF Ian Desmond robbed Lewis Brinson of a game-tying homer in the 8th inning, then the Rockies tacked on four runs in the ninth. Strong outing for Colorado P Marquez, who is very strong away from Coors Field.

1) Memo to directors of televised baseball games; on fly balls, show the outfielder, not the ball. The outfielder(s) will tell you where the ball is going. Showing the ball in the air is useless.

Saturday's Tip Sheet
March 29, 2019
By Kevin Rogers

Game of the Night: Magic at Pacers – 7:05 PM EST

Five teams have clinched playoff spots in the Eastern Conference with less than 10 games to go. One of those squads headed to the postseason in the East is Indiana (45-31 SU, 38-38 ATS), who is seeking home-court advantage in the first round. The Pacers will likely hook up with the Celtics in the opening round, but Indiana suffered its 10th consecutive road defeat in Friday’s buzzer-beating loss at Boston. However, Indiana cashed as seven-point underdogs for its second away cover since late February.

The Magic (37-39 SU, 40-35-1 ATS) are involved in the most competitive division race down the stretch, as Orlando is fighting it out with Miami and Charlotte for likely the eighth playoff spot in the East. The Southeast will probably showcase only one team in the postseason, unless Detroit or Brooklyn fall apart in the final two weeks. Orlando put together a six-game winning streak during the back end of March, but five of those victories came against teams owning losing records.

The hot stretch came to an abrupt halt in Thursday’s 115-98 setback at Detroit as 3 ½-point underdogs. Orlando’s defense allowed 53% shooting from the floor, while falling to 1-5 in the last six road contests. The key number recently for the Magic is 100, as Orlando has won nine of its past 10 games when busting the century mark, but has lost 12 straight times when scoring 99 points or less.

The Pacers return home on Saturday looking to improve on a 9-4 SU/ATS record with no rest this season, which includes a 7-0 SU and 6-1 ATS mark at Bankers Life Fieldhouse. Indiana won the first matchup with Orlando, 112-90 as 3 ½-point road underdogs in early December, but the Magic has captured the last two meetings. In the most recent matchup in Indianapolis in early March, Orlando slipped past Indiana, 117-112 as three-point ‘dogs, led by Nikola Vucevic’s 27 points.

Celtics at Nets – 6:05 PM EST

Following Friday’s walk-off win over the Pacers, the Celtics (45-31 SU, 36-39-1 ATS) pulled into a tie for fourth in the Eastern Conference with Indiana. Kyrie Irving’s layup broke a 112-112 tie to give Boston the 114-112 victory, but the Celtics dropped to 0-7 ATS in the last seven games at TD Garden.

Now the Celtics make the short trip to Brooklyn (38-38 SU, 41-35 ATS), who returns home following a 2-5 road swing. Brooklyn’s four-game ATS hot streak came to an end in Thursday’s 123-110 setback at Philadelphia as seven-point underdogs, while guard D’Angelo Russell was limited to 13 points on 6-of-19 shooting from the floor. The Nets aren’t a lock to make the playoffs just yet, as Brooklyn leads Miami by one-half game for the seventh spot, while Orlando and Charlotte are within two games of the seventh position.

The home team has captured the first three matchups this season, including a 112-104 victory by the Celtics at TD Garden on January 28. All three meetings have finished UNDER the total, as the Nets’ lone win over the Celtics this season came on January 14 at Barclays Center, 109-102, but Irving sat out for Boston with a bruised quad.

Kings at Rockets – 6:05 PM EST

The solid start to the season for Sacramento (37-38 SU, 43-31-1 ATS) is now a distant memory as the Kings are on the verge of getting eliminated from the playoffs. The Kings put together a terrific effort this season, as they will likely finish ahead of the Wolves, Lakers, and Pelicans in the West, but Sacramento is riding a 7-12 cold stretch, capped off by a 121-118 setback at New Orleans on Thursday.

Sacramento plays the fourth leg of its five-game road trip with a visit to Houston to face the Southwest division-leading Rockets (48-28 SU, 35-38-3 ATS). Houston is fighting it out with Portland for the third seed as catching Golden State and Denver will be tough with six games remaining. The Rockets continued their ownership of the Nuggets by beating them for the third time this season in Thursday’s 112-85 blowout as six-point home favorites. James Harden paced the Rockets with 38 points, while Houston improved to 9-1 in their past 10 games at Toyota Center.

Houston has won eight of the last nine meetings with Sacramento since the start of the 2016-17 season, including a pair of blowout victories this season. The Rockets have defeated the Kings by 20 and 26 points, while jumping out to a 76-45 halftime lead at Golden 1 Center on February 6. Houston is riding an 8-1 UNDER run the last nine games, but Sacramento has hit the OVER in four of the past five road contests.

Blazers at Pistons – 7:05 PM EST

For the second time in a week, these two teams are hooking up as Portland (48-27 SU, 42-43-1 ATS) edged Detroit (38-37 SU, 39-33-3 ATS) at the Moda Center last Saturday, 117-112. The Blazers rallied in the fourth quarter behind Damian Lillard’s 28 points, which nearly cancelled out Blake Griffin’s team-leading 27 points for Detroit. The Pistons owned a five-game winning streak over the Blazers from 2015-18, but Portland has taken the last two meetings, while seeking its first victory at Detroit since 2014.

The Blazers head to Little Caesars Arena with no rest after blowing out the Hawks on Friday, 118-98. Portland has struggled on the second end of a back-to-back set this season by compiling a 4-6 SU/ATS record, while going UNDER the total seven times. The Blazers have won nine of 10 since losing at home in overtime to the Thunder on March 7, while owning a half-game edge over the Rockets for the third seed in the Western Conference.

The Pistons snapped a three-game skid in Thursday’s 115-98 rout of the Magic to pick up their 10th straight home victory. What’s even more impressive is Detroit has covered in all 10 of those wins at Little Caesars Arena with the last home defeat coming to the Clippers on February 2 in which the Pistons squandered a 25-point lead.
