BLOWOUT: Boston guard Jaylen Brown dunks for two of his game-high 29 points in front of Golden State forward Trayce Jackson-Davis in the streaking Celtics’ 140-88 drubbing of the Warriors in Boston on Sunday. It was the third-largest winning margin in Celtics history and a leaguerecord third victory by 50 or more in a season, as Boston extended its season-best winning streak to 11 games.
BIG EAST SHOWDOWN: Creighton’s Jasen Green shoots between Marquette’s Kam Jones (1) and Ben Gold (12) during the second half of Saturday’s game in Omaha, Neb. Baylor Scheierman scored 26 points and made three straight 3-pointers late in the game to lead the No. 12 Bluejays to a 89-75 victory over the No. 5 Golden Eagles, who played without star guard Tyler Kolek and big man Oso Ighodaro.
HOT IN VEGAS: Kyle Larson celebrates after winning his second consecutive race at Las Vegas Motor Speedway on Sunday to keep Chevrolet undefeated and give Hendrick Motorsports its second victory in the first three NASCAR Cup Series races of the season. Larson won for the third time in his career at Las Vegas, where in 2021 he got his first victory driving for Hendrick following a nearly yearlong suspension in 2020. Larson also won in the No. 5 Chevy at Las Vegas last October in the playoffs. Larson held off Tyler Reddick for his 24th career Cup victory.
DELAYS, DELAYS: Spectators exit the course as heavy rain delays the final round of the Cognizant Classic golf tournament, Sunday, in Palm Beach Gardens, Fla. Austin Eckroat was the leader at 15 under through seven holes, one shot ahead of Erik van Rooyen, as the final round moved to Monday.
FASTEST EVER: Texas wide receiver Xavier Worthy runs the fastest 40-yard dash in the NFL combine's history Saturday, blazing through the annual gathering's premier event in 4.21 seconds. That bested former Bengals and Giants wide receiver John ross III, who posted a 4.22 time in 2017 but never turned heads in the pros like he did in Indy.
The victim of the fatal wreck was Cayden Jay McKinney, 15 years old.Â
