Cavs and Warriors in NBA Finals for Fourth Year in a Row, Vegas Takes Game 1 Against Capitals, Power Wins Indy 500 and Serena Williams Wins Grand Slam Match

The Cleveland Cavaliers and the Golden State Warriors advance to the NBA Finals after playing two games over the Memorial Day weekend. Despite being down two games to the Celtics after Thursday, the Cavs came back with a 109-99 win in Cleveland on Friday, then finished the series with a 87-79 win in Boston on Sunday. The Warriors similarly came back from a two-game deficit with a 115-86 home game win on Saturday, followed by a 101-92 victory last night in Houston.

This means that for the fourth straight year, the Warriors and the Cavs will face off in the NBA finals. The first game of the series is on Thursday in Oakland.

The Golden Knights won the first game of the Stanley Cup finals in Vegas against the Washington Capitals. A back-and-forth game followed Vegas’ thrilling and comically over-the-top opening ceremony, and saw the lead change four times resulting in a 6-4 win for the Golden Knights. NHL.com quotes Vegas defenceman Nate Schmidt on the rollercoaster match:

"A lot of times you feel like the game is going in one direction, and then they score and we score. A lot of emotion. You've just got to make sure you keep it in check. It was a pretty emotional game for everybody.”

IndyCar driver Will Power won the Indianapolis 500 for Team Penske, completing the race in just under three minutes. Indy500 quotes an ecstatic Power on his win:

“I was wondering if I was ever going to win it, and thoughts went through my mind during the month like that. In my career, I’ve had so many wins, so many poles. But everyone always talks about the ‘500.’ And I won it. I just couldn’t imagine winning a race in front of crowd like this, this many people. It’s just amazing. What an event. I love it.”

Veteran driver Danica Patrick’s career-closing race at the Indy 500 ended with her crash on Lap 58, earning her 30th place.

The Associated Press reports that Serena Williams has “won her first Grand Slam match as a mother”, beating Kristyna Pliskova of the Czech Republic 7-6 (4), 6-4 at the French Open today.

Rockets Take Series Lead, Danica Patrick Prepares for Final Race on Sunday’s Indy 500 and Trump Pardons Boxer Jack Johnson

The Houston Rockets scored a close victory over the Golden State Warriors last night, winning 98-94 in Houston. This gives the Rockets a 3-2 lead in the series meaning they could take the Western Conference and head to the finals if the Warriors lose Game 6 on Saturday.

The Rockets will be without point guard Chris Paul on Saturday, as it was reported he won’t be able to play due to a hamstring injury. ESPN reports that Rockets coach Mike D’Antoni will start Eric Gordon in his place, saying: "It will not change anything we do and how we do it."

The Indianapolis 500 takes place on Sunday, and will be Danica Patrick’s final professional race as a full-time competitor. Despite this, Patrick told USA Today that she won’t let it get to her and will treat it like a normal race.

“It’s not like I’m going to try harder, it’s not like I’m going to drive scared. I’m just going to drive like I normally drive; whatever happens, happens.”

Patrick last raced in the Indy 500 in 2011, and set the record for female drivers in coming third in 2009.

The Associated Press reports that President Donald Trump pardoned late boxer Jack Johnson more than a century after he was convicted, for what many attribute to racist reasons. Johnson was the first black heavyweight champion, but “was convicted in 1913 by an all-white jury for violating the Mann Act for traveling with his white girlfriend. That law made it illegal to transport women across state lines for “immoral” purposes.””

Trump tweeted in April that Sylvester Stallone had brought Johnson’s story to his attention, and that he was “considering a full pardon”.

“I am taking this very righteous step, I believe, to correct a wrong that occurred in our history and to honor a truly legendary boxing champion,” Trump said Thursday during an Oval Office ceremony.

Trump Supports NFL National Anthem Policy, Capitals Shutout Lightning and Advance to Stanley Cup Finals, Celtics Beat Cavs and Lead Series and Jeff Gordon Picked for NASCAR Hall of Fame

President Donald Trump reacted favourably to the NFL’s national anthem policy in an interview with Fox & friends. Yesterday the league announced a unanimous decision among team owners to adopt a policy requiring players and personnel to stand for the national anthem during games. The President said in the interview that “you have to stand proudly for the national anthem” or else “you shouldn’t be playing, you shouldn’t be there, maybe you shouldn’t be in the country”.

The Washington Capitals eliminated the Tampa Bay Lightning with a decisive 4-0 shutout victory last night. Team captain Alexander Ovechkin scored the first goal of the night, followed by two goals by Andre Burakovsky in the second period, and a fourth and final goal by Niklas Backstrom in the third period. Capitals goaltender Braden Holtby made 29 saves, securing his second consecutive shutout. This marks the first time the Capitals have made it to the Stanley Cup Finals since 1998, where they lost to the Detroit Red Wings in just four games. NHL.com quotes Ovechkin on the win:

"I'm emotional right now," Capitals captain Alex Ovechkin said. "We've been waiting for this moment for a long time."

The Boston Celtics reclaimed the lead in the Eastern Conference Finals against the Cleveland Cavaliers. The Celtics beat the Cavs 96-83 in Boston, leaving Cleveland one game away from elimination.

Jeff Gordon was elected to the NASCAR Hall of Fame yesterday. It is the 93-Cup winner’s first year of eligibility. NASCAR Wire Service sums up the why Gordon was elected:

“If ever there was a “lock” for the NASCAR Hall of Fame, Gordon fills that role. Winner of 93 Cup points races—third all-time behind Richard Petty (200) and David Pearson (105) and ahead of Darrell Waltrip (84), Bobby Allison (84), Cale Yarborough (83) and Jimmie Johnson (83)—Gordon drove the No. 24 Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet for 797 consecutive races from his debut in 1992 until he bowed out of the ride at the end of the 2015 season.”

NFL Adopts National Anthem Policy and League Approves Panthers Purchase, Rockets Tie Up Series with Warriors and ESPN Secures Deal with UFC

All 32 NFL team owners have approved a new policy requiring players to stand for the national anthem. Teams are subject to a fine if players or personnel on the field do not stand, and teams can then fine individual players or personnel for the infraction. NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said in a statement:

“This season, all league and team personnel shall stand and show respect for the flag and the Anthem. Personnel who choose not to stand for the Anthem may stay in the locker room until after the Anthem has been performed.”

The NFL has unanimously approved hedge fund manager David Tepper’s $2.2 billion USD purchase of the Carolina Panthers. The AP reports that despite implying a possible relocation of the team to another city in the Carolinas, Tepper affirmed they would stay in Charlotte.

“There is a logical place for this team, and it’s Charlotte.”

The Houston Rockets tied up their series with the Golden State Warriors last night, securing a narrow victory of 95-93. Factors in the win were James Harden’s scoring 30 points the team’s impressive defence as praised by coach Mike D’Antoni, quoted in the Associated Press:

“I thought this is the highest level we’ve ever played defensively, without a doubt,” Rockets coach Mike D’Antoni said, “because we’re talking about the best offensive team ever.”

ESPN reports that they have agreed to a five-year deal with the UFC, bringing “the mixed-martial arts league's entire rights package” to the network in 2019.

“The deal consists of 30 UFC Fight Night events per year, including 10 main cards on ESPN's television networks. The other 20 will stream on ESPN+, the company's newly launched streaming service.”
