CLEVELAND — So it seems the Warriors are sputtering on offense. If only there was a player they could turn to who had experience rescuing a championship team. There’s a reason Steph Curry and Klay Thompson call Andre Iguodala the smartest basketball player they’ve ever been around. There’s a reason Steve Kerr calls Andre Iguodala the team’s rock. He knows […]

The Giants had to wait four hours into the MLB Draft to make their first pick, a product of signing Jeff Samardzija this off-season and losing their first-round pick, but nabbed switch-hitting outfielder Bryan Reynolds with 59th overall draft selection. “We were very happy he was available for us in the second round,” said John […]

PITTSBURGH — Martin Jones stopped 44 shots, Logan Couture had a goal and two assists and the San Jose Sharks avoided elimination by hanging on for a 4-2 win over the Pittsburgh Penguins in Game 5 of the Stanley Cup Final on Thursday night. Melker Karlsson, Brent Burns and captain Joe Pavelski, into an empty […]

CLEVELAND — You’ll have to search with a microscope to find a more selfless player in the NBA than Andrew Bogut. A lot of people tend to forget this: Bogut did not play one minute in Games 5 and 6 of last year’s NBA Finals, two decisive victories that delivered the Warriors a championship. Sitting down […]

CLEVELAND — The most interesting part of any practice day with the Golden State Warriors is when Draymond Green is surrounded by microphones. Green described Wednesday’s Game 3 loss in simple terms. “There was no X’s and O’s adjustment. They just punked us,” the Second Team All-NBA forward said. The 10 million reporters in attendance […]

CLEVELAND — Social media can bring out the worst in people, but at least justice is served at times. On Wednesday, a Twitter user sent a derogatory tweet to Sydel Curry, Steph’s younger sister, which included threats to the family and a homophobic slur directed at Riley Curry, Steph’s daughter. Sydel brought attention to the despicable […]

CLEVELAND — Steve Kerr isn’t phased. The Warriors have been here too many times before. A Game 3 blowout loss now seems like a weekly routine. But a 120-90 loss at the hands of the Cleveland Cavaliers stung badly. The Warriors didn’t downplay that fact. It’ll be a challenge to shake this losing feeling at Thursday’s […]

  SAN FRANCISCO — The yo-yoing for a player between the minors and the major leagues can be grueling, and a stark contrast. From bus trips to chartered flights. Postgame snacks to full-fledged buffets. Thousands of dollars to hundreds of thousands. Mac Williamson can attest to all of the above, starting with this year. From […]

CLEVELAND — What in the world is wrong with Steph Curry? The MVP, his head coach and his teammates don’t have answers as to why the magician of a point guard has been coming up short in the 2016 NBA Finals. That’s the problem. Curry and the Warriors are thinking too much. “This is hard,” Curry said. “Got […]

  SAN FRANCISCO — Things got dicey again in the ninth inning. Mac Williamson dropped a deep fly ball to start the ninth inning, only minutes after hitting his first career home run to give the Giants (36-25) a 2-1 lead over the Red Sox (34-25). Santiago Casilla, Javier Lopez, and Hunter Strickland buckled down […]
