The Portland Trailblazers evened their Western Conference Semifinal on Wednesday night against the Denver Nuggets thanks to C.J. McCollum’s aggressive play. The highlight of the night was watching the Nuggets’ Torry Craig, who accidentally broke his nose (technically a nasal contusion), in the first half. He came back wearing a plastic mask and contributed to his team’s attempt at a comeback. Portland 97, Denver 90
Arizona coach Sean Miller has been accused of paying center Deandre Ayton $10,000 per month during the school year. Federal prosecutors played a recording of a phone call where the Wildcats’ assistant coach was speaking with an agent about how to recruit Ayton. The transcript of the phone conversation appears very damaging to Miller and those involved in this case.
