LeBron James leads the Heat to a 98-96 victory in Game 2 of the Finals
Starting off with the NBA finals,
Defending champions Miami Heat have snatched a last buzzer victory at San Antonio and evened their series at one game apiece. Game Two was played this morning.
The Heat trailed 93-92 but scored the next six points to take a 98-93 lead.
A three-point shot by the Spurs' Manu Ginobili at the final buzzer ended the scoring.
Showing no effects from the leg cramps that forced him to sit out most of the fourth quarter of Game One, LeBron James led the Heat with 35 points and 10 rebounds in the crucial 98-96 road win.
The series now shifts to Miami for the next two games, giving the Heat home-court advantage as they try to take the series lead.
Miami's Chris Bosh praised the play of his teammate, Lebron James, following game 2.
"He's the most unselfish player I've ever played with and - especially with the talent that he has playing the game the way he plays the game - he doesn't, you know, he doesn't try to force anything ... even if he is hot, he'll still hit you if you're wide open. And that's what makes this team special, because your best player is willing to sacrifice a shot, a good shot for a great shot and you just have to commend him for that."
Miami has rebounded with a win 13 consecutive times following a postseason loss, just like last year when they lost game one of the NBA finals, also to the San Antonio Spurs.
Game Three is on Wednesday, 9 in the morning Beijing time.

Ciro Immobile shines with a hat trick as Italy beat Brazilian league winner 5-3 in a Friendly
In football,
Italy's new striking power Ciro Immobile shined this morning as the Serie A's top scorer scored a hat trick to bring the Azzurri to a 5-3 victory over Brazilian club Flunimense in a friendly.
24-year-old Immobile, who will make his debut with Italy's national squad at the World Cup in Brazil, was also crucial in setting up the other two goals in the victory against the four time Brazilian champions.
The Azzurri had been on a seven-game winless streak prior to this match.
Coach Cesare Prandelli opted not to put in his big name players to avoid injuries as the World Cup campaign is just five days away.
But the line-up against Flunimense, consisting mostly of reserves, has proved Italy can still pose a potent challenge to any rival, thanks to the quality of players who usually spend most of their time on the bench.
Italy will take on England on Saturday for their World Cup opener.
They will also play Costa Rica and Uruguay in Group D.
Daniel Ricciardo wins his first F1 race at the Canadian Grand Prix
In formula One,
Australian Daniel Ricciardo cruised to his first Formula One victory at the Canadian Grand Prix, which was also Red Bull's first win this season.
Starting alongside each other on the front row, the Mercedez pair Nico Rosberg and Lewis Hamilton had looked poised for another of their private duels.
But Hamilton and Rosberg did not compete 1-2 like they have in so many races this season and Ricciardo was quick to take advantage.
He dealt the Mercedes team its first defeat of the season.
Championship leader Rosberg, who finished second ahead of quadruple champion Sebastian Vettel in third, said that his second pit stop slowed him down.
"Yeah it was a big battle all the way. Already on the start I didn't have the best getaway, but I got better through Turn One, so managed to keep the lead and from then on, yeah, it was a big battle all the way through, managed to stay ahead until the second pit stop and then we had a problem at the pit stop and then I think, so that's the main thing and I dropped behind as a result."
Ricciardo said he was thrilled to see the Australian crowd cheering for him at the Montreal circuit.
The 24-year-old became Australia's new favorite F1 driver after his fellow countryman, Mark Webber, retired from F1 competition last year.
