The Sports Report: It's bad news, good news for UCLA
From Tim Willert: UCLA's run at the Women's College World Series ended Sunday, two innings after Bruins slugger Megan Grant extended it.
Laura Mealer's bases-loaded, walk-off single to right field in the bottom of the ninth propelled Tennessee to a 5-4 win and a semifinal meeting with Texas at 9 a.m. PDT Monday.
The Volunteers (47-16) did what UCLA couldn't in the ninth: deliver with the bases loaded. The Bruins got singles from Savannah Pola and Jordan Woolery followed by an intentional walk to Grant. But Alexis Ramirez grounded out to first to end the inning.
Taylor Pannell hit a deep fly to left field to lead off Tennessee's half of the ninth, a ball that caromed off Rylee Slimp's glove and hit the white padding on the top of the wall but didn't leave the field. The play was reviewed and ruled a double.
Mealer, who knocked in two runs in the first inning to give the Volunteers an early 2-0 lead, delivered again, this time on a 2-2 pitch from Taylor Tinsley, who came on in relief of UCLA starter Kaitlyn Terry.
'Just a great battle to the end,' UCLA coach Kelly Inouye-Perez said. 'I could not be more proud. Period. Just the ability for us to be able to fight, the ability for us to come back, the epic [rally], just down to the last pitch ... there's something about what UCLA softball can do, with your backs against the wall and just rising to the occasion creates some amazing memories.'

From Jack Harris: Dave Roberts downplayed the easy narrative on Sunday afternoon.
'No,' he said when asked if his Dodgers had the New York Yankees' proverbial number, having followed up their defeat of the Bronx Bombers in last year's World Series with two impressive wins to start this weekend's rematch at Dodger Stadium.
'I think we've had their number the last two nights,' Roberts said, 'but today's a different day.'
Was it ever.
Twenty-four hours after a total annihilation of the Yankees in a 16-run rout on Saturday, the Dodgers suffered the kind of setback that has so often plagued them this season, squandering the chance to build further momentum in a 7-3 loss that prevented a series sweep.

José Ramírez homered during a three-run fourth inning, Gavin Williams gave up only one hit in 6⅔ innings and the Cleveland Guardians defeated the Angels 4-2 on Sunday.
Ramírez extended Cleveland's lead to 2-0 when he connected on a slider from Angels starter Jack Kochanowicz (3-7) and put it into the stands in right-center for his team-leading 11th homer to lead off the fourth.
Nolan Jones added a two-run single with the bases loaded for the other runs in the inning as the Guardians took two of three games in the weekend series.

From Benjamin Royer: UCLA baseball is one step closer to earning a trip to Omaha.
The Bruins continued to roll in every facet of the game in the Los Angeles Regional final, scoring early and trusting their bullpen to defeat UC Irvine 8-5 on Sunday night. The Bruins advance to the super regionals of the NCAA tournament for the first time since 2019 and will host the Texas San Antonio at Jackie Robinson Stadium this week.
UTSA defeated Texas 7-4 in the Austin Regional final, taking down the national second-seed Longhorns to advance to its first-ever super regional.
If UCLA beats UTSA, it'll advance to the College World Series in Omaha for the first time since 2013.

From Shotgun Spratling: USC baseball wanted to be aggressive knowing it was entering a hostile environment, playing in front of a sold-out crowd of 4,347 at Goss Stadium.
The Trojans tried to set the tone early.
Instead, it backfired, costing them early opportunities, early momentum and ultimately Sunday night's matchup in a 14-1 loss to Oregon State in the Corvallis Regional final.
USC has a chance for redemption Monday as Oregon State's win forces a winner-take-all regional final at 3 p.m. PDT (ESPNU).

From Benjamin Royer: In the game early Sunday that advanced UC Irvine to the Sunday night game against UCLA....
Under threat of elimination, UC Irvine's bats emerged once again.
Bringing the power for a second straight game, the Anteaters connected for five home runs Sunday, eliminating Arizona State 11-6 in the Los Angeles Regional of the NCAA baseball tournament.
Needing to win four straight games to advance to the super regionals after losing to Arizona State on Friday, UC Irvine is halfway to its goal.
Alonso Reyes — who had just one home run in 2025 entering Sunday's game — ripped a two-run home run off of Sun Devils starter Derek Schaefer in the fourth inning. Later in the inning, after Arizona State coach Willie Bloomquist went with Lucas Kelly out of the bullpen, Chase Call cleared the batter's eye in dead center field for a two-run home run to give the Anteaters a 6-1 lead.

From Anthony De Leon: Sunday's matchup between the Sparks and Phoenix Mercury felt like déjà vu. When the Sparks faced Phoenix last month, the game ended with a failed Sparks comeback.
In a twist of fate, Sunday's comeback belonged to Phoenix.
Unable to stay ahead after building an 18-point lead, the Sparks fell 85-80 to the Mercury at Crypto.com Arena for their third consecutive loss.
As with the first meeting, the third quarter proved to be the Sparks' undoing. After scoring just seven points in the third quarter of their loss to Phoenix on May 21, the Sparks were outscored 24-9 in the third Sunday.

NBA Finals Game 7 Odds, Best Bets, Prediction: Thunder Heavy Home Favorites
Despite being blown out in Game 6, the Thunder are the heavy betting favorites in Game 7 vs. the Pacers on Sunday night. Despite being blown out in Game 6, the Thunder are the heavy betting favorites in Game 7 vs. the Pacers on Sunday night. Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The Thunder entered the NBA Finals vs. the Pacers as one of the biggest betting favorites in Finals history, but now need to win Game 7 at home on Sunday night to avoid a historic upset. Tonight's contest marks the first NBA Finals Game 7 since 2016, when Cleveland finished off its memorable comeback win over the Warriors in a series it had trailed 3-1. Given how up-and-down these Finals have been for OKC and Indiana -- both from quarter-to-quarter and game-to-game -- the (likely) most-watched matchup of the 2024-25 season might also be the toughest one to predict and/or bet on. NBA Finals Game 7 Betting Odds: Spread, ML DK FD bet365 IND spread +7.5 (-112) +7.5 (-112) +7.5 (-115) OKC spread -7.5 (-108) -7.5 (-108) -7.5 (-105) IND ML +225 +240 +235 OKC ML -278 -295 -290 Total 214.5 (o-110; u-110) 214.5 (o-112; u-108) 215 (o-110; u-110) The Pacers showed in Game 1 that these teams were more evenly matched than oddsmakers thought, but Indiana has nevertheless been the underdog in every game of this series. With that in mind, we shouldn't necessarily be surprised that the Thunder are favored by 7.5 points in Game 7. This is also a good time to mention both Game 7 of OKC vs. Denver in the Western Conference Semifinals and Game 5 of OKC-Minnesota in the Western Conference Finals. The Thunder won those games 125-93 and 124-94, respectively. For context, below are the closing betting lines for the three previous games in these Finals that took place in OKC: Game 1: OKC -9.5 (Final: IND 111, OKC 110) Game 2: OKC -10.5 (Final: OKC 123, IND 107) Game 5: OKC -8.5 (Final: OKC 120, IND 109) How to Watch NBA Finals Game 7: Pacers vs. Thunder Tipoff: 8 p.m. ET Channel: ABC NBA Finals MVP Odds Entering Game 7 This series was widely expected to be a cakewalk for OKC, and on a related note, there was little disagreement on who would win Finals MVP. Regular-season MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's Finals MVP odds were almost as short as OKC's odds to win the title. But although he's averaged over 30.5 points per game, oddsmakers are still giving three players besides SGA a real chance to Finals MVP: Indiana's Pascal Siakam, OKC's Jalen Williams and Tyrese Haliburton. As you can see below, SGA is still the clear favorite, but a bad Game 7 by Gilgeous-Alexander and/or a huge night by Siakam, Williams or Haliburton could be enough for one of the latter to win MVP. FD DK Shai Gilgeous-Alexander -240 -205 Pascal Siakam +300 +370 Jalen Williams +1200 +1100 Tyrese Haliburton +1600 +1100 NBA Finals Game 7 Analysis, Key Questions This year's Finals have delivered one shocking result after another, which means no outcome should be ruled out in Game 7. The Thunder have played well enough at times this during series that a comfortable home win to clinch the title is a possibility. At this point, though, betting on anyone to pull away from the Pacers in a must-win Game 7 just seems like a great way to lose money. Who Wins The Turnover Battle -- OKC or Indiana? Sunday's game will likely be decided by the turnover battle and -- on a related note -- whether OKC can be efficient in the halfcourt. The Thunder recorded assists on less than half of their made field goals in Games 1, 3, 4 and 6, with losses in all of those besides Game 4 (SGA memorably took over that game down the stretch to bail out OKC). OKC has consistently won the turnover battle throughout the regular season and playoffs. The Pacers, however, were dominant on that front in Game 6, scoring 19 points on 21 Thunder turnovers while committing just 11 TOs. The Thunder have also coughed up at least 14 turnovers in four of the last five games in this series. That raises real concerns about whether SGA and Co. can make the right plays against Indiana's defensive pressure in Game 7. Ironically, many expected this exact issue -- pressure defense forcing turnovers and leading to easy offense the other way -- to play a huge role in these Finals. But the consensus was that it was OKC who was going to be disrupting the Indiana offense (not the other way around). Will Indiana's O-Rebounding, Bench Come Through Once Again? Indiana's Games 1, 3 and 6 victories came thanks to its domiance of two other areas of this matchup that the Thunder were expected to control: bench points and offensive rebounding. The Pacers have grabbed more than 20 percent of their missed shots three times in the Finals, including in their wins in Games 1 and 6. Indiana has also gotten more bench scoring than OKC in every contest besides Game 2. Overall, the Pacers' bench has outscored the Thunder's by 64, and Indy's reserves have accounted for at least 34 points in all six games. While the Pacers' T.J. McConnell, Bennedict Mathurin and Obi Toppin have all averaged at least 10 points per game off the bench in the Finals, the only Thunder reserve who is averaging at least 10 points in the Finals is Alex Caruso. OKC has gotten huge series from both SGA and Jalen Williams, but can it win Game 7 without Chet Holmgren, Lu Dort, Cason Wallace, or someone else stepping up to provide complementary scoring? Pacers vs. Thunder NBA Finals Game 7 Best Bets If it's not clear at this point, I have far more questions than answers about how Game 7 will play out tonight. While their ceiling remains untouchable, the Thunder have failed to fire on all cylinders in this series for good reason: the Pacers just don't let their opponents get comfortable on either side of the ball. I'm not quite willing to pick Indiana to win Game 7 on the road, but I do like the Pacers to keep this close, especially early. I also expect both offenses to struggle, which leads me to the Pacers on the first-half spread and the Under as my two favorite NBA Finals Game 7 best bets. If I have to choose who will take home the Larry O'Brien Trophy, I'll reluctantly pick the Thunder at home, but I recommend staying away from this game's spread.

"When did ring culture become a thing?" - Gilbert Arenas agrees with LeBron's notion of the media caring about championships too much
"When did ring culture become a thing?" - Gilbert Arenas agrees with LeBron's notion of the media caring about championships too much originally appeared on Basketball Network. LeBron James recently sparked a nationwide discussion after criticizing the media's obsession with defining a player's legacy solely by their championship count. King James argued that it makes little sense to judge an individual's greatness based on whether their team was able to lift the Larry O'Brien trophy, as basketball is ultimately a team sport that requires collective effort. Advertisement Unsurprisingly, Stephen A. Smith was one of the first to fire back, claiming that this was just another narrative LBJ was trying to push because he will never likely match up to Michael Jordan's six championship rings. However, Gilbert Arenas had a different take that firmly backed LeBron while using Kobe Bryant as a prime example to strengthen his argument. "What he's saying is actually correct. When did ring culture become a thing?" Arenas said. "When you talk about a team award — something that a structure needs to win — does not boost you in front of individual accomplishments." Gil differs from Stephen A.'s opinion Speaking at the Fanatics Fest in New York City on Thursday night, Agent Zero took the opportunity to challenge SAS's stance. Gilbert made a strong case for respecting individual legacies beyond just ring counts, calling out the hypocrisy of media members like Stephen A. Advertisement For instance, Arenas pointed out that in the early 2000s, Bryant was already a three-peat winner, yet the media still leveraged their right to compare him to Tracy McGrady, who at the time hadn't won any championship rings and was only a Most Improved Player of the Year honoree at that point. According to Gill, that was proof that championship rings haven't always been the deciding factor. Thus, he called out media members for running their biased and inconsistent narrative about "ring culture," highlighting how they conveniently use this factor to shape discussions and shift the goalposts to fit whatever narrative suits the moment. "When you used Kobe to frown upon what LeBron said, I would disagree with that," Arenas told Smith. "In real-time, Kobe had three rings; ya'll wasn't treating him like a three-ring player. You were treating him like a sidekick. He was considered a Robin, considered the next Pippen. In 2002, with three rings, we were still comparing T-Mac with Kobe. So, if you're sitting with three rings, you're still being compared to someone who doesn't have rings. What do you think happened? I need individual accomplishments. 'Can you please get rid of Shaq?' If it was about rings, there was no reason for the fallout between him and Shaq." Related: "He never ever allowed Air Jordan to enter into the locker room" - BJ Armstrong said Michael Jordan was very different behind the scenes Ring culture should not determine legacies If championships were truly the sole measure of greatness, then why isn't Bill Russell, with 11 rings, universally considered the GOAT? The reason is that MJ left an undeniable individual impact on the game. Mike carried the team offensively, as evidenced by him leading the league is scoring on 10 occasions, and that is why Jordan is kept at the very top of the GOAT ladder. Advertisement So, while Arenas managed to school Smith with facts and historical context, the bigger question remains: will other media figures begin to reassess how they measure greatness? Time will tell if the industry finally learns from this much-needed correction. Related: "I don't like him, and he don't like me" - Stephen A. Smith opens about his feud with LeBron James This story was originally reported by Basketball Network on Jun 21, 2025, where it first appeared.

Mets break 7-game losing streak with MLB record-tying 7 solo homers, 2 from Juan Soto, in win over Phillies
The New York Mets broke a streak and made some history against the Philadelphia Phillies on Saturday. Facing a strong of seven straight losses, the Mets offense posted seven homers, all solo, in an 11-4 win to move back into a tie with Philadelphia at the top of the NL East. Their record is 46-31. Advertisement Those seven solo homers tied the Mets with six other teams for the most in a game in MLB history, per Sarah Langs. Only three of those teams hit only solo homers, like the Mets, who got long balls from Juan Soto twice, Brandon Nimmo twice, Francisco Lindor, Jared Young and Francisco Alvarez. Three of those came in consecutive fashion in the third inning. It was a big game for Soto in particular, going 4-for-5 with two runs and four RBI. It was his eighth career game with double-digit total bases, putting him in some elite company given his age. The Mets' skid entering Saturday was putting an abrupt end to what had been a dream start for a team with World Series aspirations. Behind the best-performing rotation in MLB, a 15-3 run in May and June gave them the best record in the NL. Then, consecutive sweeps at the hands of the Tampa Bay Rays and Atlanta Braves. The Phillies series loomed as a possible turning point for New York, but it got off to a bad start Friday partially thanks to some entertaining baserunning from Philadelphia.
