After embarrassing loss in first matchup, Orlando City takes another shot at Lionel Messi, Inter Miami • High school scores and top performers from Tuesday, May 14
Sentinel Sports Final Wednesday, May 15, 2024 | | |
| | The ACC could be on life support, like the T'wolves and Pacers after losing crucial Game 5s Tuesday night. Schools that voluntarily signed contracts into the next century now want to void that contract because they don't like the terms anymore. So what's the point of a contract if you can run to a friendly judge to bail you out? ... The Gators ' kickoff vs. the 'Canes is set in a loser leaves the state matchup between Billy Napier and Mario Cristobal. ... The only comparison I can draw with Nikola Jokic is Larry Holmes. Holmes is an all-time great (No. 2 on my list of heavyweights because the best Holmes puts the best Joe Louis and his glass jaw on a stretcher because of his shotgun jab alone). Holmes didn 't move like Ali. He didn't have the grace of Ali. He didn't look like a heavyweight champ. Jokic doesn't look like an NBA MVP. He's not poster-izing people like LeBron James or reigning in 3s like Steph Curry. So he can't really be that good. Wrong. Ask Defensive Player of the Year Rudy Gobert who got cooked. He's probably questionable for Game 6 because of fourth-degree burns. ... The Caitlin Clark era has begun in the WNBA. | | The only item on the agenda at the ACC's Spring Meetings this week should be this: Save the league from implosion. | | | A change in formation for the Lions provided an offensive spark to snap a two-game losing streak last week in Philadelphia. Coach Oscar Pareja will look to make any adjustments he can for this matchup after the Lions lost 5-0 in Miami earlier this season. | | | The First Academy won its region final in baseball. Lake Brantley and Sanford Seminole won softball semifinals, setting up a Friday matchup. | | | The Knights' run defense struggled during its first season in the conference, leading to the coach's first losing campaign in 12 years. | | | Tampa Bay overcomes an early 2-run deficit to tie the score in the sixth and leads briefly in the 11th before losing one inning later. | | | It didn't matter that Jamal Murray and Michael Porter Jr. both had off nights. Nikola Jokic played one of his greatest games, and the Nuggets shut down Anthony Edwards in Game 5 Tuesday night. | | | The No. 2-seeded Knicks can win the series Friday night at Indiana after the first two-day break between games in the series. Caitlin Clark's WNBA home debut with the Indiana Fever is scheduled for Thursday night at Gainbridge Fieldhouse. | | | The Knights, under first-year coach Mara Allen who came from powerhouse Texas, are looking to medal in their first tournament Sunday. | | | A national TV audience on ABC will tune in for Game 1 of a home-and-home series — UM will host UF Sept. 20, 2025 — and first meeting between the schools since the Gators' 24-20 win in Orlando to open 2019. | | | Caitlin Clark struggled early in her debut before finishing with 20 points as the Fever fell to Connecticut. | | | With the NFL set to announce its 2024 regular-season schedule Wednesday night, the Miami Dolphins had a matchup with the Buffalo Bills announced Tuesday. | | | Adam Hood becomes the second assistant coach to join the Knights this offseason, along with Carlos Dotson. | | | There are several contenders to watch, including 2021 Cup Series winner Kyle Larson, his Hendrick Motorsports teammate William Byron and Joe Gibbs Racing leader Denny Hamlin. | | | Mystik Dan has fully bounced back from his photo-finish victory at the Kentucky Derby and a 12-hour van ride from Louisville. The 3-year-old colt is settling in at Pimlico Race Course. | | | |
