The Golden State Warriors pulled clear in their NBA playoff series as the Washington Wizards enjoyed a much-needed win. The Warriors took a 2-0 series lead against the Utah Jazz in the Western Conference semi-finals thanks to Thursday's 115-104 victory. Kevin Durant had a double-double of 25 points and 11 rebounds, to go with seven assists. Draymond Green (21 points, seven rebounds, six assists and four steals) and Stephen Curry (23 points) were also strong contributors. The vision from Iggy. The SLAM from KD! #NBAPlayoffs pic.twitter.com/iKIDhLfiGx — NBA (@NBA) May 5, 2017 The Jazz got 33 points from Gordon Hayward, but struggled to recover from being outscored 33-15 in the first quarter. Rudy Gobert had a double-double of 16 points and 16 rebounds but the Jazz need a win when the series heads to Utah on Saturday. The Wizards got back into their series against the Boston Celtics with a 116-89 win. John Wall had a game-high ...

Fifth seed Garbine Muguruza was dumped out of the Madrid Open in miserable fashion on Sunday, going down 6-1 6-3 to Timea Bacsinszky just three weeks before the start of her French Open defence. Whistles could be heard from the crowd as Muguruza, who has struggled for form in 2017, bowed out at the first hurdle with a double fault. The Spaniard twice lost six games in succession during a one-sided encounter as Switzerland's Bacsinszky, the world number 27, set up a second-round meeting with Kiki Bertens. There were no other major shocks on Sunday, with top seed Angelique Kerber and reigning champion Simona Halep, as well as Dominika Cibulkova, Svetlana Kuznetsova and Maria Sharapova, all progressing. However, Sharapova - the 2014 winner in Madrid - was forced to come from a set down before beating Mirjana Lucic-Baroni 6-0 in the deciding set of their contest and Jelena Jankovic served for the match against Cibulkova, only for the...

It's nothing short of a miracle to see this toddler survive getting run over twice in a row on a very busy street in Southwest Sichuan Province in China. According to her father, the grandmother was taking care of the toddler at the time but attracted by something else and didn't notice that her granddaughter was running away. The little girl only suffered a minor bruise on her head with no serious injury anywhere else

Real Madrid forward Alvaro Morata is not a target for AC Milan, according to director of sport Massimiliano Mirabelli. Morata returned to Madrid after the LaLiga giants exercised a buyback clause to sign the Spain international from Serie A champions Juventus in the off-season, but he has not played as much football as he expected. The 24-year-old has been linked with moves to Premier League duo Chelsea and Manchester United, while Milan have emerged as a possible destination after Mirabelli was spotted in the Spanish capital for the Champions League semi-final between Madrid and Atletico Madrid. But Mirabelli insisted Milan will not be making a move for Morata, who has netted 15 goals in LaLiga this term. "I went to Madrid to watch a game and not for Morata. He is of no interest to Milan," Mirabelli told Mediaset Premium prior to Milan's 4-1 loss at home to Roma. "Our strategy will be independent of the final placement." Mirabelli added: "Our plans...

Guizhou Zhicheng called on Shanghai SIPG to publish evidence and "let the truth be known" after allegations Hulk punched a staff member on Saturday. Li Bing, the outgoing coach of Guizhou, accused Hulk of punching assistant Yu Ming in the tunnel during Shanghai's 3-0 win. Shanghai SIPG and Hulk have denied the incident, but in a statement on Monday, Guizhou called for action. "We earnestly request that a higher authority take this matter seriously," the statement read. "We also hope that relevant departments, Shanghai sporting event management and Shanghai SIPG FC would handle the case in a fair and impartial manner, publish the evidence and let the truth be known." Hulk scored in the second half of his team's win, their fifth in eight Chinese Super League (CSL) games as they kept the pressure on leaders Guangzhou Evergrande Taobao. On Sunday, the Brazilian had denied claims he was involv...

New York City rose to third in the Eastern Conference in MLS with a 3-1 win over Atlanta United on Sunday. David Villa opened the scoring for City, but his effort was cancelled out by a tremendous Carlos Carmona strike at Yankee Stadium. However, goals from Rodney Wallace and Maximiliano Moralez on the hour-mark secured a second straight win for Patrick Vieira's men. Villa struck in the 17th minute with a fine finish off the post to complete a flowing team move and give City a 1-0 lead. But a stunning volley from Carmona had the visitors level six minutes before half-time, only for City to grab control on the hour-mark. Pure class from Carlos Carmona. #NYCvATL pic.twitter.com/CxfikxmKvI — Major League Soccer (@MLS) May 7, 2017 After Atlanta had somehow held on to start the second half with numerous goal-line clearances, Wallace tapped in and Moralez followed with a finish into the bottom corner. City sit third and just three points behind Eastern Con...

Chapecoense's revival continued after the grief-stricken Brazilian side won the Santa Catarina state championship on Sunday. It has been a time of mourning and rebuilding for Chapecoense since a plane carrying the Brazilian squad, technical commission and a number of journalists for the first leg of the Copa Sudamericana final against Atletico Nacional crashed en route to Medellin two days before the match was due to take place, killing 71 people on board in November. Only three members of the travelling squad survived - Neto, Alan Ruschel and Jackson Follmann – as Chapecoense were left heartbroken and struggling to field a team. However, Chapecoense's resurgence continued on the weekend as the tragedy-struck team – who claimed the second stage of the competition last month with a match to spare – retained their Santa Catarina title which they won in 2016, despite losing 1-0 at home to Avai on Sunday. ÉÉÉ CAAAAAAMPEÃOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!...

Marc Albrighton feels it was "naive" to think Leicester City could repeat their fairytale season and claim back-to-back Premier League titles. Leicester produced one of the greatest achievements in sport when they went from relegation contenders to Premier League champions last season. The 2016-17 campaign was a different beast for Leicester, who sensationally sacked iconic manager Claudio Ranieri amid the threat of relegation in February. However, Leicester sealed survival with Saturday's 3-0 win against Watford and winger Albrighton believes the Foxes achieved their targets, having also reached the Champions League quarter-finals this term. "The top six or seven sides are probably ones you'd look at and say that's where they should be. We set ourselves standards with how we played and what we achieved last season," said Albrighton. "Everybody then automatically wants you to go and do the same again, b...

In continuation of its onslaught on militants operating from the creeks, Lagos State Police Command early this morning raided and recovered seven army and police bullet proof vests, eight ballistic helmets and nine life jackets from a new kidnappers hideouts in Ishawo, Ikorodu, Lagos. The hideout was discovered at about 8:00 a.m yesterday by a team of Ikorodu Special Anti – Robber Squad (SARS) and Volunteer Police led by Superintendent Godfrey Soriweiu. This success came two weeks after the discovery of a similar hideout in Ishawo, Ikorodu, Lagos. The Lagos State Commissioner of Police, CP Fatai Owoseni had two weeks ago charged the team to embark on a continuous combing of the Lagos waterways and creeks in search of suspected kidnappers. The suspected kidnappers, who were preparing their morning meal scampered into safety on sighting the special team abandoning several items.  Other item recovered by the team includes a speed boat belonging to th...

English comedian, Stephen Fry has never hidden his atheism but this time, someone who decided he went too far reported the gay entertainer to the police and he has been placed under investigation. The incident in question goes as far back as February 2015 when the comedian took a hardline stance against God during an interview with Irish broadcaster RTE. The individual, who wished to remain anonymous, said it was their 'civic duty' to report the comments which he alleges were in breach of the Defamation Act.  TV footage showing Fry condemning God has gone viral and has been viewed millions of times on YouTube. Asked what he would say if he was confronted by God, Fry replied: 'How dare you create a world in which there is such misery that is not our fault? It's not right. 'It's utterly, utterly evil. 'Why should I respect a capricious, mean-minded, stupid God who creates a world which is so full of injustice and pain?' Questioned on ho...
