KWBG Sports for June 8th

DALLAS (AP) - The NBA Finals are tied at two games apiece after
Dirk Nowitzki scored 10 of his 21 points to fuel a fourth-quarter
comeback in the Dallas Mavericks' 86-83 win over the Miami Heat.
Nowitzki battled the flu and shot just 6-for-19 from the field, but
he also grabbed 11 rebounds and hit a huge layup with 14.4 seconds
left to put the Mavs up 84-81. LeBron James scored just eight
points on 3-of-11 shooting for the Heat, who also received a
game-high 32 points from Dwyane (dwayn) Wade.
BOSTON (AP) - Ray Allen has exercised his option to remain with
the Boston Celtics next season, keeping the team's Big Three of
Allen, Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett together for one more year.
Allen became the NBA's all-time leader in three-pointers this
season and averaged 16.5 points and 49 percent shooting. Garnett
has one year left on his contract and Pierce has three years
remaining.
BOSTON (AP) - The Vancouver Canucks will finish the Stanley Cup
finals without defenseman Aaron Rome, who received a four-game
suspension for his hit on Boston's Nathan Horton during Game 3
Monday night. The hit left Horton with a severe concussion that
will prevent him from playing the rest of the series. Game 4 is
tonight in Boston.
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) - Quarterback Terrelle Pryor will likely
enter the NFL supplemental draft after announcing through his
attorney that he won't play for Ohio State this season. Pryor had
already been suspended for the first five games for breaking NCAA
rules by accepting improper benefits from the owner of a tattoo
parlor. ESPN is also reporting that a former friend of Pryor's
claims he saw him signing autographs for money and made between
$20,000-$40,000 last year for his signature.
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) - The upcoming U.S. Open won't include
Tiger Woods, who will miss the second major of the season due to
lingering issues with his left leg. It will be the first time Woods
has missed the U.S. Open since 1994, when he had just graduated
high school.
