Now they face Game 2 against the Warriors. Coverage begins at 8 p.m. ET, and the Cavs have work to do. Despite a 12-2 postseason record, the Cavaliers went into Thursday with plenty to prove, to themselves, to those who believed they were dominating in a much easier weight class in the East, and especially to Warriors. Their dominance in the East meant little. The Warriors beat them three consecutive times after falling behind 2-1 to win the title last season, and then defeated them twice during the regular season, including a 34-point beating in Cleveland back in January....

In a match that produced few moments of quality, it was Swansea who went closest to opening the scoring in the first half at the Cardiff City Stadium when Bersant Celina bent a low effort against the left post. Tempers briefly boiled over between the fierce rivals when Cardiff striker Robert Glatzel took exception to a late challenge from Ben Cabango, with each man booked. Cardiff also hit the woodwork when Callum Paterson headed Josh Murphy’s delivery against the crossbar in the only chance of note in the second half....

On June the 22nd, Cricket World Cup 2019 finalists New Zealand posted a target of 292 for the Windies, thanks to a 148-run masterclass from their captain Kane Williamson. In reply, Chris Gayle and Shimron Hetmyer built a decent platform for the likes of Brathwaite to overpower the score. But fall of regular wickets at the other end meant that the margin for error became lesser and lesser. At the end it was a lost cause had Brathwaite’s stubborn spirit not come in the way of the New Zealand bowlers....

Not only is the match heading for a near-sellout, but the likes of Ryan Giggs, Rio Ferdinand, Edwin van der Sar, Paul Scholes and Patrice Evra will be wearing the United shirt once more under the watchful eye of Sir Alex Ferguson as the midfielder receives a string of warranted accolades for his performances since arriving from Tottenham in 2006.

Only Jimmy Johnson (Miami) and Barry Switzer (Oklahoma) are in that exclusive club, and both capped it with the same NFL teams: the dominant Dallas Cowboys of the early 1990s.
