🏀Clippers: Our NBA teams need to stage comebacks as epic as Coachella 2022. After losing the first two games of the series to the Dallas Mavericks, the Clippers won the next two on the road before losing Game 5 at Staples Center last night. East, West, home is not best.

  • Mav star Luka Doncic didn’t seem hampered by his neck injury last night, which doesn’t bode well for the Clips in tomorrow night’s do-or-die Game 6. Here we go.

🏀Lakers: What a series of unfortunate events. With Anthony Davis sidelined on Tuesday, the Purple and Gold lost Game 5 by 30 points to the Phoenix Suns. Straight up embarrassing.

  • AD is a game-time decision, but either way, the defending champs must win Game 6 tonight at 10:30 p.m. ET/7:30 p.m. PT to avoid an early, first-round exit. Crossing all our fingers and toes.

🎓🥎UCLA: Hopefully reigning champs UCLA softball fare much better in the WCWS against No. 10 Florida State tonight at 9:30 p.m. ET/6:30 p.m. PT. Not only do the Bruins have soon-to-be Tokyo Olympians Rachel Garcia and Bubba Nickles (who returned from a wrist injury last week), they also have home run queen Maya Brady. Can you say stacked?

🏀Sparks: Outside of Kristi Toliver, who shot an efficient 5-of-6 from the field, the Sparks’ offense was mostly MIA in Tuesday’s loss to the Dallas Wings. See if our 2-3 LA squad can heat up against the 1-8 Indiana Fever tonight at 10:30 p.m. ET/7:30 p.m. PT.
