BASKETBALL
The San Antonio Spurs were overpowering the Golden State Warriors until Kawhi Leonard went down with an ankle injury in the 3rd quarter of Sunday’s Western Conference final. The Warriors were down by 25 points during the game, but fought back and then went on a tear and outscored the Spurs 58-33. It was the largest comeback in finals conference history in the last 15 years. Steph Curry added 40 points and Kevin Durant 34 in the win. Kawhi will undergo an MRI today and is doubtful for Tuesday’s game 2. Warriors 113, Spurs 111.
The Washington Wizards and Boston Celtics face off in Game 7 tonight. The winner will face the Cleveland Cavaliers in the Eastern Conference final.
