The Oklahoma City Thunder, despite a loss in Game 3, is still ahead in the conference finals with a 2-1 lead over the Minnesota Timberwolves. Game 4 is very crucial for the Wolves, considering that a loss will ultimately open up a huge gap, which would be very difficult to fill. The Timberwolves, if they win the match, will bring the overall stats to a tie of 2-2. A loss would add to the benefit of the Thunder raising their score to a 3-1 lead.
While both teams need to give their best in order to secure their chances for a spot in the finals, the Timberwolves are not lagging in terms of generating support from fellow athletes across different kinds of sports. Game 4 has witnessed the presence of NFL star and Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson, who, time and again, has shown his support and solidarity towards the Timberwolves.
Fans are excited to see their favorite sports figures supporting each other.

RCB's Title Celebration Marred by Deadly Stampede Near Stadium—11 Reported Dead
Royal Challengers Bangalore news: What was meant to be a joyous and joyous celebration to Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) fans in the city ended up being an absolute horror spectacle following a RCB stampede Chinnaswamy claimed 11 deaths and injured 33. The RCB's first finals IPL celebrations following their victory were ruined by an IPL 2025 tragedy. Some are questioning the necessity to hold such a celebration within just 18 hours of having won the event. Although accountability is being called for and questioned, ex- India player Madan Lal believes that the responsibility must be carried out by RCB as well as RCB if they made a mistake in their judgement. As the story of the 11 dead in stadium stampede was in the news while the RCB management carried on with celebrations at the stadium. Rajat Patidar as well as Virat Kohli made short speeches before the celebrations ended. Although RCB have stated that they halted the celebrations when they discovered an incident however, the franchise continues to be challenged about the necessity of holding an extravagant and lavish event just hours after winning the tournament. It is important to note that it was the first time the sort of victory parade on this magnitude was scheduled in the IPL. The former India player Madan Lal, who was part of the 1983 World Cup winning squad, expressed doubts about the decision of RCB to stage the celebration so fast because they could have had waited for two to three days. "It's very unfortunate that 11 people lost their stadium crowd control This tragedy shouldn't occur. It could have been avoided. It was a celebration in Ahmedabad on a Tuesday night. Why was there a rush having celebrations on the streets of Bengaluru?" Madan Lal said to the news agency PTI.

Virat Kohli's 'RCB Nets Act' Twists Test Exit Story, Mitchell Starc's Wife Makes Big Reveal
Virat Kohli 's sudden retirement last month left fans and experts stunned. A month ahead of the high-profile England Test series, the former India captain called time on his red-ball career despite showing no recent signs of such a decision. Now, fresh speculation suggests Kohli may not have been fully ready to walk away. A conversation on the Willow Talk podcast, featuring Australia women's captain Alyssa Healy and broadcaster Adam Peacock, has hinted at deeper reasons behind the shock announcement, including his equation with head coach Gautam Gambhir. Speaking on the podcast, Adam Peacock said, 'I was speaking to someone in the last week with a knowledge of the situation, and I think there's more to come in the whole story of the Gambhir-Kohli relationship.' Gambhir took over as India's head coach after the T20 World Cup win in 2024 and guided India to a Champions Trophy title in March 2025.

'I saw a video of him hitting red balls during the IPL. Something's gone on in the last couple of weeks. I don't know what it is. I was like, 'Interesting'. I don't think he was ready to give it up,' Healy said. Kohli's Test retirement was especially surprising because he had been seen practicing with the red ball during IPL 2025, giving no hint of an imminent farewell. The timing of the announcement and now this new round of chatter has led many to believe that the full story may not be public yet. Meanwhile, the BCCI hasn't completely ruled out a comeback. IPL chairman Arun Dhumal recently said he would love to see Kohli back in Tests—something many took as more than just a personal sentiment. For now, Kohli remains retired from Test cricket and is not part of the 18-member squad for the England series. His next expected appearance will be during India's ODI series against Bangladesh in August. Listen to the latest songs, only on
