UNDATED (AP) - The Oklahoma City Thunder ended Game 2 of their Western Conference semifinal against the visiting Lakers on a 9-0 run and beat Los Angeles 77-75 to grab a 2-0 lead in the best-of-seven matchup. Earlier in the evening, the Boston Celtics hammered the 76ers 107-91 in Philadelphia to take a 2-1 lead in their Eastern Conference semifinal.



NEW YORK (AP) - Larry Bird has hit the trifecta. The Pacers president is adding NBA Executive of the Year to a resume that already includes three MVP awards as a player and a trip to the NBA Finals as a coach. He's the only one with all three.



NEW YORK (AP) - The New Jersey Devils evened the NHL Eastern Conference final at a game apiece with a 3-2 road win over the New York Rangers. Dave Clarkson's tip-in goal early in the third period snapped a 2-all tie.



TORONTO (AP) -Brett Lawrie went 0-for-4 and scored a run in Toronto's 8-1 beating of the New York Yankees. The Blue Jays third baseman was playing after appealing a four-game suspension leveled by Major League Baseball for his helmet-throwing incident with an umpire during Tuesday night's outing.



BALTIMORE (AP) - I'll Have Another may have won the Kentucky Derby, but Derby runner-up Bodemeister (BOH'-bee-my-stur) is the pre-race favorite for Saturday's Preakness Stakes at Pimlico.

KWBG Sports for May 14th

 PHOENIX (AP) - The upstart Los Angeles Kings continue to be the surprise team in the NHL playoffs. The eighth-seeded Kings, who knocked off Vancouver and St. Louis in the first two rounds, went on the road and beat Phoenix 3-2 in the opener of the Western Conference finals to improve their road record to 6-0 in this year's playoffs.

     MIAMI (AP) - The Miami Heat rode a 32-point, 15-rebound effort from league MVP LeBron James to beat the Indiana Pacers 95-86 in the opener of their Eastern Conference semifinal playoff. Chris Bosh scored 13 points for Miami, but left late in the first half with a lower abdominal injury and was scheduled for an MRI to determine the extent of the problem.

     MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) - For just the third time in their 41-year franchise history, the L.A. Clippers have won a playoff series.

     PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. (AP) - Matt Kuchar (KOO'-char) is this year's winner at The Players Championship, and the $1.7 million first-place check at the so-called fifth major of the golf season.

     UNDATED (AP)-- For the first time since 1998, there were two walkoff grand slams in the major leagues yesterday.

KWBG Sports for May 11th

  DENVER (AP) - There will be a Game 7 Saturday night in Los Angeles to decide the Lakers-Nuggets first round series.

     PHILADELPHIA (AP)- The Philadelphia 76ers are the fifth No. 8 seed to win a first-round NBA playoff series against a No. 1 seed after dumping the Chicago Bulls 79-78 last night as Andre Iguodala (ihg-woh-DAH'-lah) won it with a couple of free throws with 2.2 seconds left. In his second season, coach Doug Collins has led the Sixers to their first winning season in seven years.

     BOSTON (AP) - The Boston Celtics are the next challenge for Doug Collins and his 76ers with that second-round series starting Saturday night in Boston. The Celtics eliminated the Atlanta Hawks with an 83-80 win in Game 6 led by Kevin Garnett's 28 points, 14 rebounds and five blocks and hit the go-ahead bucket with 31 seconds left.

     PITTSBURGH (AP) - Washington fireballer Stephen Strasburg struck out 13 Pirates in six innings of work in the Nationals' 4-2 win in Pittsburgh last night. Adam LaRoche hit a two-run home run, Roger Bernadina and Rick Ankiel (an-KEEL') added solo shots for the Nats, who own a half-game lead over Atlanta atop the NL East.

     LOS ANGELES (AP) - More than 60 former NFL players have filed a lawsuit in Los Angeles, joining hundreds of others who claim pro football didn't properly protect its players from concussions. The lead plaintiff is Hall of Famer Art Monk, who played wide receiver for the Washington Redskins from 1980 to 1993 and says he suffered multiple concussions that are causing continuing problems to this day.

KWBG Sports for May 10th

Carmelo Anthony led the Knicks with 35 points and Amare Stoudemire added 14 before fouling out.

     MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) - The Memphis Grizzlies staved off elimination by taking Game 5 of their NBA first-round series 92-80 over the visiting Los Angeles Clippers. Marc Gasol had 23 points and seven rebounds for the Grizzlies, who led by as many as 22 in the second half before sending the series back to Los Angeles for Game 6 on Friday.  Mo Williams had 20 points for the Clippers while Chris Paul scored 19.

     WASHINGTON (AP) - The Washington Capitals will head back to New York for Game 7 of the NHL's Eastern Conference semifinal series following last night's 2-1 triumph over the Rangers. Alex Ovechkin (oh-VEHCH'-kin) scored 88 seconds into the game, Jason Chimera notched the game-winner in the second period and Braden Holtby finished with 30 saves. The Rangers have never dropped a seventh game at home, but the Capitals have already won a Game 7 on the road this postseason.

     NEW YORK (AP) - New York Yankees closer Mariano Rivera is dealing with a blood clot in his right calf less than a week after tearing the ACL in his right knee. He needs to spend at least a week or two strengthening his knee before he has surgery, and he says the clot is not delaying the procedure. Meanwhile, Yankees substitute closer David Robertson gave up four runs in the ninth inning of last night's 4-1 loss to Tampa Bay.

     GRAPEVINE, Texas (AP) - The Dallas Cowboys have filed a brief in their challenge of a $10 million salary cap reduction by the NFL. Owner Jerry Jones says his team followed the rules before being penalized. A hearing is set today before arbitrator Stephen Burbank on appeals by the Cowboys and the Washington Redskins, whose cap was reduced by $36 million. The two NFC East teams were penalized for overloading contracts in the 2010 uncapped season despite league warnings.
