Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 04:19:38 GMT

SAN FRANCISCO — The Warriors were probably tired from all their back-patting after Wednesday’s Game 5 win in Sacramento.So tired, it turns out, that they now need to go back to Sacramento for a Game 7 on Sunday.And no one paying attention to this Warriors team this season can say they’re surprised.These Dubs have been so many things this season — world-beaters, scrubs, and everything in between — but one thing they have not been over the last six months is consistent.That’s why it was jarring — and ominous — that after the Warriors won a road game against a playoff opponent for the first time this season Wednesday, the team projected an impossible-to-misinterpret sense that they thought the series was over.The problem: the NBA expanded the first round to best-of-seven in 2003.Related ArticlesGolden State Warriors | Warriors blow chance to clinch at home, drop Game 6 to Kings Golden State Warriors | Warriors’ Kerr reacts to Giannis&#...

Rams aim to get tougher in trenches with Day 2 picks

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 04:19:38 GMT

TARZANA, Calif. (AP) — When Los Angeles Rams coach Sean McVay and general manager Les Snead asked Aaron Donald what traits the 2023 draft class should have, the historically great defensive lineman had one reply.“‘Just make sure they care,’” Snead said.The Rams took that to heart in drafting TCU guard Steve Avila in the second round and two defensive players in the third round of the NFL draft on Friday night to address glaring needs on both lines of scrimmage. “There was definitely an intent that we could definitely take offensive line, interior D-line, outside linebacker type help. But we let the board kind of dictate when we took, when we traded back, things like that,” Snead said.No position group had more to do with the Rams’ dismal defense of their Super Bowl title than an offensive line decimated by injuries last season, using 13 different starting combinations with only right tackle Rob Havenstein playing in every game. Avila, who was taken with the 36th overall pick, played...

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) — With only a handful of picks in this year’s NFL draft, the Denver Broncos prioritized versatility in their trio of Day 2 selections.The Broncos added a deep threat for Russell Wilson in Oklahoma wide receiver Marvin Mims Jr., who lined up as much on the outside as he did on the inside for the Sooners.In All-American Drew Sanders, they get a tall linebacker with a terrific wingspan who can also shift seamlessly between playing inside and outside, clogging the middle of the field or getting after the passer.In Iowa’s Riley Moss, they have a defensive back who can play both cornerback and safety, although coach Sean Payton said he envisions Moss starting out at cornerback.The Broncos entered Friday night with back-to-back selections at Nos. 67 and 68 early in the third round after parting with several premium picks to acquire Wilson from the Seahawks last year and Payton from the Saints this year.Despite their dearth of draft capital, the Broncos eng...
