NBA:  

Portland couldn’t close out the Jazz and lost in overtime last night 133 - 126. It was a struggle for the young team playing shorthanded. Shaedon Sharpe finished with a career high 37 but missed free throws late in regulation. Toumani Camara missed a gimme that might have been the game winner. The Trail Blazers’ loss does technically help their draft lottery chances. Game 81 of 82 is tomorrow against Golden State.

Hot Rumor: Recently fired Nuggets Coach Michael Malone is a very attractive candidate for next season. The Blazers front office needs to make a decision whether they want to stay the course with Chauncey Billups at the helm. He’s in the final year of his contract.

 

MLB:

The Mariners Julio Rodriguez tied the game in the 9th with a double and walk off base on balls sealed the series win over Houston  yesterday. The Mariners are on the road at Texas starting tomorrow. 

San Francisco had a huge rally to take down Cincinnati and avoid the sweep yesterday. Mike Yastrzemski’s homer in the 10th sent the Giants on the road winners at Oracle park. Now its a weekend series with the Yankees in New York tomorrow.
