| | Magic romp over Bucks to earn 1st-round berth vs. Cleveland | Scottie Scheffler lives up to No. 1 ranking by winning second Masters title | Rays hit 4 home runs in routing Giants, former ace Blake Snell | | The Magic relied on stout defense and points in the paint to capture a crucial victory over the Bucks on Sunday. "It means a lot," Paolo Banchero said about No. 5 Orlando clinching its spot in the NBA playoffs. | | | The Orlando Magic have made the playoffs twice (2019 and 2020) in the post-Dwight years, but those teams were considered mediocre at best and just making the postseason was considered their ceiling. This on-the-rise Magic team has only just begun. | | | Paolo Banchero (26 points) and Franz Wagner (25) led the Magic to victory over the Bucks at Kia Center to secure Orlando's playoff spot. | | | On Tuesday, it's the Lakers facing the Pelicans for a No. 7 seed in the Western Conference, then the Warriors and the Kings in an elimination game. The 4 Eastern teams will clash on Wednesday. | | | The world's No. 1 player was true to form Sunday, remaining steady through "Amen Corner" when the rest of his top competitors got wobbly during that brutal stretch comprising 11th, 12th and 13th holes at Augusta National. | | | The Tampa Bay lineup that had been quiet the first two games of the series spoiled Snell's first start at Tropicana Field as an opponent. | | | A 6-foot-9, 225-pound power forward, Sam Alexis averaged 10.8 points and 9.1 rebounds, shot 55% and blocked 70 shots to earn a spot on the Southern Conference All-Defense team in 2023-24. | | | The race ended on the 16th caution after Elliott had taken the white flag for the 276th lap in a race scheduled for 267 laps | | | Byrum Brown makes only a cameo appearance in a contest that features only two touchdowns. | | | New Miami quarterback Cam Ward tossed a pair of touchdowns and threw for more than 250 yards in the Hurricanes' spring game on Saturday. | | | |
