Will the Boston Celtics punch their ticket to the NBA Finals, or will the Miami Heat force a Game 7 at FTX Arena? Show After a couple of lopsided games, Boston and Miami battled in a more competitive Game 5 on Wednesday night. The C's ultimately bounced back from a rough first half to beat the Heat on the road, 93-80. The victory puts Boston on the brink of its first Finals appearance since 2010.

Al Horford (16 pts, 7 reb) and Derrick White (14 pts, 5 ast) also stepped up when the rest of the offense struggled to find its groove. Robert Williams (6 pts, 10 reb, 3 blk) once again showed his health is key to Boston's success. The Celtics big man again is listed as questionable for Friday's Game 6 along with veteran point guard Marcus Smart (right ankle sprain). The Heat are even more banged up. Tyler Herro (groin), Kyle Lowry (hamstring), Max Strus (hamstring), P.J. Tucker (knee), and Gabe Vincent (hamstring) each are listed as questionable on Miami's latest injury report.

No restrictions on Ryan Rollins or Patrick Baldwin Jr., the rookies who dealt with issues over the summer. First full training camp for James Wiseman. 0 The Phillies announced their end-of-season organizational awards:Paul Owens Award (best pitcher) - Andrew PainterPaul Owens Award (best hitter) - Darick HallJohn Vukovich Award (top instructor) - Marty Malloy Dallas Green Award (top scout) - Zach Friedman 0 Nick Castellanos continues to do more work as he recovers from an oblique strain. He could go to Triple-A Lehigh Valley this weekend for a quick rehab assignment. That would put him on track to return next week when the Phillies begin a season-ending road trip. Additionally, Zach Eflin's status is in question because he had some back spasms that prevented him from pitching over the weekend. 2 The Phillies are hopeful Rhys Hoskins will return to the lineup Sunday against the Braves and their hard-throwing righty Spencer Strider. Hoskins said the swelling in his right arm has decreased and he took a bunch of swings in the cage Saturday. They could use him. 2 The Phillies have some notable players heading to the Arizona Fall League. Among them: Francisco Morales, Johan Rojas and Jhailyn Ortiz. Rojas has to be added to the 40-man roster this winter. Team officials are still bullish on Morales as a reliever but believe he needs more time to adapt to the role. Carlos De La Cruz, a hulking outfielder who has hit well at Double A, is going to Arizona too. 4 In the graphic below, ESPN explains how it's handling the upcoming overlapping "Monday Night Football" doubleheader on its various related platforms. 3 |
