BOSTON — When Jayson Tatum twisted his ankle on the first play of Game 7, it was clear the injury was going to slow him down. But with the Celtics’ backs against the wall against the Heat, they needed to find production elsewhere. That’s where Jaylen Brown comes in.
Brown, who was named second-team All-NBA this season, was the natural next man up.
The goaltenders made the score look respectable when the game could have been a high-scoring affair. The Vegas Golden Knights and Dallas Stars traded scoring chances, especially in the third period. Golden Knights goalie Adin Hill stopped 29 scoring chances and kept his team in the game until they turned the game in the third period and peppered Dallas goalie Jake Oettinger in the third period.

Jim Brown, the legendary Browns Hall of Fame running back who was one of the NFL’s most prolific players and a civil rights icon, passed away. He was 87.
“Jim Brown is a true icon of not just the Cleveland Browns but the entire NFL,” Jimmy and Dee Haslam said. “He was certainly the greatest to ever put on a Browns uniform and arguably one of the greatest players in NFL history.
The Celtics fell apart late once again and find themselves on the brink against the Heat after dropping Game 2, 111-105.
Here are the takeaways as the series shifts back to Miami.

LeBron James marched off the court after the Lakers’ 132-126 Game 1 loss Tuesday to the Denver Nuggets, closed his eyes, craned his head back and let out an, “Oh my god,” after Los Angeles nearly stole the Western Conference finals opener.
The Lakers trailed by as many as 21, were outrebounded by 17 and allowed Denver to score 72 points by the break —
The plaque in the Seattle Kraken locker room held seven game pucks, signifying the first seven Stanley Cup playoff wins in franchise history.
There wouldn’t be an eighth. An equipment manager tucked the plaque under his arm after Game 7 against the Dallas Stars, packing it away once the Kraken were eliminated in a 2-1 loss Monday night.
But as veteran Jordan Eberle explained,
Scoring the biggest goal of his career, Cousins beat Joseph Woll with a shot from the left circle at 15:32 of overtime to send the Florida Panthers to the Eastern Conference Finals for the first time since 1996 with a 3-2 win over the Toronto Maple Leafs at Scotiabank Arena on Friday.
“A big goal for our team,” said Cousins,
Joseph Woll stopped 24 shots in his first playoff start, Mitch Marner and William Nylander had the goals and the Toronto Maple Leafs staved off elimination by beating the Florida Panthers 2-1 in Game 4 of their Eastern Conference semifinal series Wednesday night.
