Dallas: Mavericks take game one win

🏀Mavericks: One down, three to go. Behind a triple-double from Luka Doncic (his third playoff triple-double in just seven games) and 21 points from Tim Hardaway Jr., the Mavs started their postseason run with a 113–103 win over the LA Clippers on Saturday. Game 2 tips off tomorrow night at 10:30 p.m. ET/9:30 p.m. CT. We agree, Luka. This is fun.

🏀Wings: Saturday was not as kind to the Wings, who suffered a 100–97 overtime loss to the Seattle Storm, but this young squad still put the league on notice. Marina Mabrey scored a career-high 26 points while Isabelle Harrison and Kayla Thornton notched double-doubles.

  • Next up, the Wings are in the Big Apple for tonight’s 7 p.m. ET/6 p.m. CT battle with the surging NY Liberty.

⚾️Rangers: So nice he had to do it twice. After belting a walk off home run in Friday’s 7–5 10-inning win over the Houston Astros, Adolis García did it again yesterday with a walk off single in the 10th, lifting his team to a 3–2 win and the series sweep.

  • The Rangers take their three-game win streak west for tomorrow’s 9:38 p.m. ET/8:38 p.m. CT matchup with the LA Angels.
