Alex Caruso on Pacers-Thunder 2025 NBA Finals Game 7: 'It's a chance at history'
Arriving in Indiana with a 3-2 series lead, Alex Caruso refused to think about a championship. After all, the Oklahoma City Thunder still needed one more win to clinch it. He said all the right cliches heading into Game 6 about avoiding complacency, but the body language said otherwise. Caruso finished with zero points on 0-of-2 shooting, three rebounds and two assists. He also had a block. The Thunder couldn't clinch a championship in their 108-91 Game 6 loss to the Pacers. The 2025 NBA Finals is now squared at 3-3 with a decisive Game 7 up next. The Thunder tried to shake their mojo with a halftime lineup change. Caruso started over Isaiah Hartenstein. No dice. The offensive problems continued as they went what felt like an hour to get back on the scoreboard. You can't expect another 20-point outburst out of Caruso, but he has to be better than this. The 31-year-old headlines the Thunder's bench. His active voice has made him a locker room leader. With an upcoming Game 7, he will need to be better. "It's a chance at history. We would have rather liked to win it in four, but if you are telling me I got one game with a chance to win the title, I'd take that at the beginning of the year," Caruso said. "That's my mindset. We have an opportunity Sunday to go out and win a championship."

UFC 316 'Fight Motion': Harrison, Dvalishvili title wins in super slow motion
Check out the craziest highlights from Newark in super slow motion UFC 316 earlier this month in Newark, N.J., featured some stellar stoppages – and in a rarity, two of them came in title fights. Bantamweight champion Merab Dvalishvili (20-4 MMA, 13-2 UFC) easily took care of former champ Sean O'Malley (18-3 MMA, 10-3 UFC) in a rematch with a third-round submission. And massive betting favorite Kayla Harrison (19-1 MMA, 3-0 UFC) showed why the confidence was so high in her when she submitted women's 135-pound champ Julianna Peña (13-6 MMA, 8-4 UFC) in the second round – and arguably made it look easier than her past dominance in the PFL when she was fighting 20 pounds heavier. The UFC 316 "Fight Motion" video cameras caught all the highlights in Newark in super slow motion. You can check out the action above.

2025 PFL 6 video: Gadzhi Rabadanov destroys Kevin Lee in lopsided few minutes
GADZHI RABADANOV DOMINATES KEVIN LEE FOR A FIRST ROUND VICTORY!#PFLWorldTournament LIVE NOW🇺🇸 ESPN & ESPN+🌎 Gadzhi Rabadanov barely broke a sweat inside the PFL cage Friday in Wichita, Kan. In the 2025 PFL World Tournament 6 main event, Rabadanov (26-4-2) defeated Lee (20-9) via TKO due to punches at 2:37 of Round 1. The fight served as one of two lightweight tournament semifinal bouts at INTRUST Bank Arena. From the beginning of the fight, nearly every punch that hit Lee squarely got a noticeable reaction out of him. Rabadanov put Lee on roller skates more than once. Lee hit the deck on multiple occasions as he tried to either regain his balance or scramble for a leg. Before long, Rabadanov landed the finishing combination. Lee went face down and Rabadnov hit him once more before referee Jason Herzog jumped in. Rabadanov will face Alfie Davis in the lightweight tournament final Aug. 15 in Charlotte, N.C.. He entered the 2025 calendar as the 2024 PFL lightweight champion. A protege of Khabib Nurmagomedov, Rabadanov rides a 12-fight winning streak dating back to December 2020. Lee, 32, entered the tournament as an alternate to replace the injured Jay Jay Wilson. The bout was his PFL debut and only his second in MMA since his one-off return with the UFC in July 2023.
