Golden State Warriors beat LA Clippers to force decisive game 7
In Basketball the Golden State warriors have forced a decisive game seven by outlasting the Los Angeles Clippers 100 to 99 at Oracle Arena in Oakland.
The game was tight throughout but with 2-and-a-half minutes left to play Andre Iguodala sunk a three pointer to give the Warriors a seven point lead at 96-89.
He was fouled on the play by Blake Griffin, who also fouled out of the game.
The Clippers furiously tried to make baskets in the final seconds, and when Matt Barnes sank a 3-pointer the deficit was cut to a single point but there were only 1.1 seconds to play.
With just four-tenths of a second left in the game, and his side leading by that 100-99 score, Stephen Curry missed the second of two free throws on purpose, and time expired.
With the series now tied at three games each – the finale of the first-round series will conclude Saturday night in Los Angeles.
Mark Jackson is the Warriors head coach:
"I'm proud of my guys it's been an incredible, incredible ride and now against a 3-seed, with two of the top ten players in the world, and a future Hall of Fame coach, we are going to Game 7, in spite of all the sideline music and I like my chances because I got a group of guys who want to do whatever it takes to win."
That sideline music he's referring to is the controversy surrounding Clippers owner Donald Sterling who sparked outrage after recordings of him making racist comments were leaked to the press.
In the latest development, the National Basketball Association has launched a bid to oust him as owner of the team.
The NBA said a panel of 10 fellow team owners unanimously agreed to proceed "as expediously as possible".
Sterling has already received a life ban from the sport and been fined 2.5 million US dollars.
NBA Commissioner Adam Silver has called on the 29 other club owners who make up the governing board to exercise their authority to force Sterling to sell the Clippers, but experts have suggested that some of Sterling's fellow owners might be hesitant to support action they felt could set a precedent weakening their own future property rights.
The-80-year-old, who bought the Clippers in 1981 for $13 million when the team was based in San Diego, has not indicated whether he would relinquish ownership without putting up a fight.
Experts have estimated that the franchise, which moved to Los Angeles in 1984, could now be worth as much as $1 billion, posing an enormous potential capital gains tax liability on Sterling if he were to sell the team.
Montreal beat Boston 4-3 in first game of NHL Eastern Conference Semifinals
The 2nd round of the NHL playoffs is underway, with the Montreal Canadiens scoring a 4-3 double-overtime victory over the Boston Bruins.
The game was a back-and-forth affair.
Montreal held a 3-2 lead late into the 3rd before Johnny Boychuck equalized for the Bruins.
The first overtime frame solved nothing.
But a holding penalty on the Bruins' Matt Bartkowski in the 2nd overtime gave the Habs the power play and allowed defenceman PK Subban to score his 2nd goal of the evening to give the Canadiens the 4-3 victory.
Game 2 of the series will also be in Boston on Saturday night.
There two more 2nd round series set to open tomorrow.
The other Eastern Conference semi-final will see Pittsburgh open up at home against the New York Rangers.
In the West, the defending Champion Chicago Blackhawks will begin their 2nd round series at home to the Minnesota Wild.

Angel Carera takes lead after first day of Wells Fargo Championship
In golf,
Angel Cabrera took advantage of good conditions in the morning to record a six-under-par round of 66 to put him in the lead after the first day of the Wells Fargo Championship.
The Argentinian two-time major champion made seven birdies to post his lowest score of the year and only the fourth time he shot in the 60s.
Coming off his first missed cut at the Masters in 17 years, Phil Mickelson caught up to Cabrera's six-under score twice but bogeyed soon after each occasion. He is tied for second with Martin Flores one shot back.
Flores, looking for his first career PGA Tour win, sank five birdies in an eight hole span around the turn to get to six under, but he too spoiled his day hitting a bogey on the 17th.
