For the other straight evening, a top seed in a larger professional sport won a tight game to rise 3-0 in his championship series.Dallas MavericksInEdmonton Oilers- Apply each series Greatest Star: Luka Dončić andConnor McDavid.
Of course, most of us expectedboston CelticsInFlorida PanthersTo win this series, but should it be?
- A little comfort: the panters of last night winwas quite entertaining.An early 4-1 lead for Panthers fell at 4-3 in the last minutes of the game.Sergei BobrovskyAnd the defense of Panthers clung to it because it was the most important.
Only one team, 1942Toronto Esdoorn Leaves, have overcome a 3-0 deficit in the Stanley Cup final to win.85 years later our game is 4 tomorrow night.This can beNHL'S first title Sweep since 1998 - andThe first time bothNBAInNHL End with Sweeps since 1995.

Pitch Perfect:Not busy, England
There is nothing like the euro tournament that the national teams places against each other in the leading continent of football every four years.
With this andAmerica CupGet up - Plus a convincing Olympic tournament of the woman shortly thereafter - there has been no better summer to be a football fan in the recent memory (or to become one).

To help me prepare me for the euros from today I went to expert Phil Hay vanThe Athletic FCFame for a Quick Fire Q&A session:
Which team has the most on the line?
Fil: England.Langt.it has not won a big trophy since 1966, and all the noise suggests that this Gareth Southgattes will be as a manager if they no longer win it.
This tournament breeds stars.Who is the breakout player?
Fil: If you follow football closely, you know thatFlorian Wirtz((BundesligaThe 21-year-old player of the yearSays it all), but this is perhaps the moment when the talent of the midfielder seeps into the consciousness of the wider world.
Who is winning?
Fil:It is England or France.I'm going with France.And not because I'm Scottish.

The electric effects of Lawrence's Agreement
Yesterday, Jaguars and Trevor LawrenceConstrued with a five -year contract extension to a value of $ 275 million, with $ 142 million guaranteed.Han's average annual value of $ 55 million binds him with Joe Burrow for the highest among QBs, although Burrow got $ 4 million more guaranteed money.Lawrence probably earns it, but he is a top five QB in NFL?I say no.And how does this influence someone like Dak Prescott, currently locked up in a friendly Cold War with the cowboys about his threatening mass expansion?I just got richer, either in Dallas or elsewhere.
