The 38-point margin of victory is the third-largest in NBA Finals history. Advertisement“We had to play our A game — it was this or we go on vacation,” Dallas coach Jason Kidd said. The Mavericks trail 3-1, and no team has ever come back to win an NBA playoff series after losing the first three games (0-for-156; 0-for-14 in the finals). Only three halftime deficits are larger than those 26 points in the history of the NBA finals. Do it the next one.”Dereck Lively II was huge off the bench for Dallas in the Game 4 win!

(AP) — Jahmyl Telfort matched his season high with 26 points, DJ Davis added 22 and Butler held off No. Boden Kapke, who has played sparingly in six games before Friday, made two 3s and hit key free throws late. Creighton got the ball right back when Butler’s inbound pass following Kalkbrenner’s free throws went off DJ Davis’ leg and out of bounds. Davis was unable to shoot the free throws, with Kapke taking his place and making both with 6.4 seconds left for a three-point lead. Alexander was fouled immediately and made two free throws to make it 99-98 with 5.8 seconds left.

The NHL isn't the only one who uses the All-Star Game as a lab to test different things that could find its way into the game in the future. This weekend's events in Toronto are also a chance for ESPN and Sportsnet to experiment with coverage ideas that could be implemented down the line during the regular season and Stanley Cup playoffs. The biggest change the league and ESPN implemented is the retooled skills competition on Friday night. The skills competition will be broadcast on ESPN, and Saturday afternoon's All-Star Game will be on ABC. The network and NHL are hoping ratings for the All-Star Game continue to rebound.

Now, Mahomes’ dad, Pat Mahomes, admits he has to take some credit for it, while also backing up his son’s work ethic. “Patrick works really hard, he’s at the gym all the time, he works out three times a week,” said on “CNN This Morning” on Thursday. Mahomes Sr. pitches for the New York Mets in a spring training game against the St. Louis Cardinals in 2000. Mahomes walks out for warmups prior to the AFC championship game against the Baltimore Ravens at M&T Bank Stadium on January 28. For him to have the amount of success that he’s had this early on in his career is just surreal,” he told CNN.

He broke Hall of Famer Wilt Chamberlain’s 76ers record of 68 points, set on Dec. 16, 1967, with a layup with 1:41 to play.

STANFORD, Calif. (AP) — It never fails, Tara VanDerveer always takes a minute to thank everybody for coming to the game and that includes offering her immense gratitude to the Stanford band. “This is a tremendous accomplishment for Tara VanDerveer, who is already one of the most accomplished coaches in the history of basketball,” Krzyzewski said in a statement. Oregon State coach Scott Rueck credits VanDerveer for elevating the entire over the decades. Stanford: VanDerveer, who didn't have the playing opportunities growing up before Title IX, has considered herself so fortunate to get an early start in coaching at Idaho in 1978-79. She earned her 1,000th win Feb. 3, 2017, and became winningest women's coach on Dec. 15, 2020, by passing the late Tennessee coach Pat Summitt (1,098).

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Florida State coach Mike Norvell said the possibility of leaving his unbeaten Seminoles out of the College Football Playoff shouldn't even be discussed.

Rodgers tore his Achilles tendon four snaps into his debut with the Jets on Sept. 11 and had surgery two days later. Sure, but that's OK.

DENVER (AP) — Denver Broncos safety Kareem Jackson said he's flying to New York to meet with NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell on Wednesday to get more clarity about his latest suspension and the way the league enforces its player safety rules. He's missed three games so far and will miss three more, costing him a total of $837,000 in lost wages. Previously, he's said he knows he's drawing extra scrutiny from the league for his spate of fouls. “So, hopefully something comes from this meeting — I don't think much will, because I don't even think they know," Jackson added. His hit of Dobbs upon his return on Nov. 19 didn't draw a flag but it did draw the league's ire again and resulted in his second suspension.

LAS VEGAS (AP) — New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers said his goal is to return from a torn Achilles tendon by mid-December, NBC's Melissa Stark reported during the telecast of the Jets' game at Las Vegas on Sunday night. Rodgers had hinted recently he hopes to return before the end of the season, but this is the most specific he has been. He suffered what was thought to be a season-ending injury in the opener against the Buffalo Bills. However, Rodgers, who was on the sideline, told Stark he “just wasn’t feeling it” about throwing passes during pregame warmups as he has the last several weeks. Rodgers said he has been working on a weight-limiting treadmill, jogging at 50% of his body weight.
