The 3 plays in sports everybody will be talking about today
Good morning! Here are the plays everybody will be talking about Wednesday.
UConn women's basketball reigns again. For the fourth straight year, Connecticut won the women's basketball national championship, and for the fourth straight year, Breanna Stewart was named Most Outstanding Player of the Final Four. If Syracuse were to have any shot, it needed Stewart to be cold, and it needed to get hot early. Neither happened. In the first minute, Stewart blocked a shot and went to the other end and hit a 3-pointer. It was game over with 39 minutes to go. UConn jumped out to a 9-0 lead, led 50-23 at halftime, and cruised to an 82-51 win. Congrats, UConn.
Filip Forsberg goes between his legs. The Nashville Predators clinched a playoff spot Friday. On Tuesday they beat the Colorado Avalanche, 4-3, thanks to this nifty little goal by Forsberg, who went between the legs and wristed it into the back of the net.
The Warriors lose again? After starting the season 68-7 and seemingly cruising toward breaking the Chicago Bulls' record of 72 wins, the Warriors have suddenly lost two of their past three games. More shockingly, both losses came at home after starting the season 36-0 in Oakland. The latest came versus the Minnesota Timberwolves in overtime, and the telling moment came early in the OT period. Stephen Curry got the ball in the first minute of overtime with Karl-Anthony Towns guarding. Normally, being guarded by a 7-footer on the wing is a dream matchup for Curry. But this time the presumed Rookie of the Year shut down the presumed Most Valuable Player, and the T-Wolves went on to win 124-117.
