Only scoring 23 points in the first half vs Atlanta. Will they be ready for the playoffs ??

 

What on earth is going on in Indiana?
The Pacers’ magical season has been derailed these past few weeks, as a skid turned into a full wreck on Sunday night. The Pacers were hosting the 33-42 Atlanta Hawks…and they got run off the floor. The Hawks were winning 33-11 after the first quarter. The Pacers only scored 23 points in the first half. This is a team that is supposed to contend for a title. READ MORE

Yankees Win Jeter’s Last Home Opener

Yankees Win Jeter’s Last Home Opener By DAVID WALDSTEINAPRIL 7, 2014 

 

 

Among the memorable games involving Derek Jeter, Monday’s home opener against the Baltimore Orioles will not vault to the top of the list. There was no signature moment or defining play that put Jeter’s indelible stamp on the game.

But there was some bad news: The Yankees announced after the game that David Robertson, who took over as closer this year after the retirement of Mariano Rivera, had a Grade 1 groin strain and would be placed on the 15-day disabled list. Robertson has two saves this season and allowed one hit in three scoreless innings.

The Yankees won, 4-2, and improved to 4-3, moving them over .500 for the first time this season.

Jackson has special bond with his players

DALLAS -- It can't be easy to have a birthday on April Fools' Day, especially when you're an NBA coach who, day after day lately, suddenly finds yourself fielding job-security questions.


Yet something tells me Mark Jackson is going to have only fond recollections about this particular April 1. 

"Everything worked out in the end," Jackson said with a smile when it was all over. 

That's not a sentiment you hear often from those in Jackson's gloomy line of work, but this indeed turned out to be a pretty idyllic Tuesday for the head coach. His 49th birthday began with the unexpected sight of celebratory Coach Jackson T-shirts being passed out by Warriors equipment manager Eric Housen and then actually worn by countless members of the traveling party. It ended with the Warriors escaping Dallas with a 122-120 overtime victory -- one watched courtside by owner Joe Lacob and most of Golden State's front-office team -- on a Stephen Curry rainbow dagger from the wing that dropped through despite the fact Curry looked as though he didn't even have the chance to get his feet set. 

"I almost started moonwalking," Jackson said of seeing Curry's bomb connect.
