Star Boston Celtics forwards Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum have a unique chemistry
Star Boston Celtics forwards Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum have a unique chemistry, and they know and depend on it. And we all got a bog collective reminder of that fact in the Celtics win over the Orlando Magic in the 2025 NBA Eastern Conference Playoffs first round series.
Before the series was decided with Boston advancing to the East Semifinals, Brown spoke with the media about the trust the two Celtics swingmen share with each other. "Trust -- we've seen a lot," said the Georgia native after Boston's 107-98 Game 4 win. "We've been through a lot of playoff basketball."
The folks behind the "CLNS Media Boston Sports Network" YouTube channel put together a clip of Brown's postgame chat so you can see it for yourself. Take a look at the clip embedded below to hear what he had to say.

Olympian filmed ‘hitting horse 42 times'
Credit: YouTube/ DressageHub A video has emerged of an Olympic dressage rider repeatedly whipping a horse barely six months after Charlotte Dujardin was banned for a year for a similar incident. Heath Ryan, 66, was filmed apparently hitting a horse called Nico more than 40 times in footage uploaded to the Facebook page of Dressage Hub. The video prompted a response from Ryan, who competed for Australia at the 2008 Olympics, stating that his actions had been part of a 'rescue mission' to prevent the horse from being sent to the slaughterhouse. He also claimed the video had been 'posted by an unhappy ex-employee'. 'Oh my goodness! The most awful video of me on a young horse has just surfaced,' he wrote in a lengthy Facebook post. 'This horse was dropped off at my place on his way to the knackery. His name is Nico. He was six years of age. A beautiful type.' Ryan said the 'problem child' horse had been sent to him after putting a 'wonderful family friend' of his in intensive care. 'That video was a life-or-death moment for Nico and of that I was very aware. I felt I genuinely had to try my very hardest to see if Nico would consider other options. Anyway by the end of that initial ride I did feel Nico was responding. 'I rode Nico for another couple of days and he responded very well and started to go without the excessive use of driving aids. 'All of this transpired sincerely with the horse's best interests the sole consideration. 'I need to add that this happened about two years ago and the video has been posted by an unhappy ex-employee. 'All I can say is that this awful video was collateral damage of me from the bottom of my heart launching a rescue mission.' Ryan, who has competed in equestrian events in Australia for decades, is the brother of triple Olympic equestrian gold medallist Matt Ryan. In December, Britain's three-time Olympic champion Dujardin was banned for a year for whipping a horse on the legs more than 20 times. That followed the emergence of years-old footage shortly before the Paris Games, from which she withdrew, conceding she had made 'an error of judgement' during a coaching session.

Magic Johnson has advice for Tyrese Haliburton: Do what I did vs. Celtics in NBA Finals
Following the Indiana Pacers' Game 3 win in the NBA Finals over Oklahoma City Thunder on Wednesday night, Tyrese Haliburton responded to his critics after dropping 22 points, 11 assists and nine rebounds. "I think the commentary is always going to be what it is, you know?" Haliburton said. "Most of the time, the talking heads on the major platforms, I couldn't care less. Honestly, like what do they really know about basketball?" One person who knows quite a bit about basketball is Magic Johnson. The five-time NBA champion and three-time NBA Finals MVP has been supportive of Haliburton during these playoffs and credits his pace for pushing Indiana into the Finals and two games away from a first NBA championship. Johnson joined ESPN's "Get Up" on Thursday morning to talk about the Pacers and was asked specifically what Haliburton had to do to get Indiana across the finish line. "OKC has more talent than Indiana at the end of the day. But the way they're going to win is they have to play fast, (Haliburton) has to score more in this series," Johnson said. "He has to get 20-25 points every single game in order for the Pacers to win because they follow his lead, right? And so him and (Pascal) Siakam has to get at least 20 points to put the Pacers in a situation that they can win the game. That unlocks all the other guys. And so when they both came out aggressive, Siakam had a big first quarter. Haliburton had a big second quarter, that unlocked everybody else now to be comfortable enough to score and take their shots to help the Pacers win. "So he has to set the tempo, not just with his pace and also his assists, but also his scoring. I had to do that against the Celtics. I could cruise in the other series, but not against the Celtics. I must score against the Celtics, while I still had to get 15-20 assists, and this is important for him: He has to do the same thing, set the table for the guys and score points against OKC." In the 1985 NBA Finals, Johnson averaged 18.3 points and 14 assists as the Lakers won in six games. And in the 1987 NBA Finals, Johnson averaged 26.2 points and 13 assists in the Lakers' six-game series win. This season, the Pacers are 20-1 when Haliburton scores at least 20 points and dishes out at least 10 assists. This series, Haliburton is averaging 17.7 points, 7.7 assists and 7.3 rebounds a game.

Red Sox rookie Marcelo Mayer is starting to heat up at the plate
Red Sox rookie Marcelo Mayer is starting to find his groove at the plate. He had two big swings in Wednesday night's win over the Rays, as he sent a pair of souvenirs into the Fenway Park crowd. The third baseman accounted for half of Boston's four solo home runs in the 4-3 victory, which propelled the Red Sox to the team's second straight series win. After hitting the first Fenway homer of his career in the second inning, Mayer went yard again in the bottom of the fourth. "They felt really good. To get the first one at home was special," Mayer said after the win. "Then obviously to get the second one, anytime you can help the team out offensively it means a lot." Mayer hit his first career homer last Friday night at Yankee Stadium. But that 410-foot shot came in a Boston loss and in enemy territory. Wednesday night's dingers were much more enjoyable for Mayer. "It's always better to hit a homer at home, compared to on the road. I'd much rather get cheered than booed," he said. "It was awesome. I love this place and love the energy Fenway Park brings. It's something I'll remember for the rest of my life." Marcelo Mayer heating up at the plate It's been less than three weeks since Mayer was called up on May 24, but he already looks a lot more comfortable at the dish. Both of Wednesday night's homers were towering blasts to right field, which looks like it will become a sweet spot for the 22-year-old. Mayer launched the first pitch he saw from Rays starter Zack Littell in the second inning -- an 87 mph slider -- 418 feet to right to put Boston on top, 2-1. The ball left his bat at a scorching 108.7 mph for Mayer's hardest hit ball of the season. 418 ft for Mayer! 😤 — Red Sox (@RedSox) June 11, 2025 Two innings later, he took the Tampa righty deep again, crushing a 1-1 splitter 410 feet to nearly the same spot to make it a 3-1 game. That ball left his bat at 104.9 mph. MARCELO x 2 — Red Sox (@RedSox) June 12, 2025 In the first two games of the series, Mayer hit some monster fouls to right field. He straightened those moonshots out on Wednesday, and became just the 10th Red Sox player to have a multi-homer game within their first 15 games. At 22 years and 182 days old, Mayer is the third-youngest player on that list, trailing only Billy Conigliaro (21 years, 244 days) and Ted Williams (20 years, 247 days). "The process always stays the same. I feel more comfortable every single day I'm here. Obviously, a little bit of adjustments on me that have helped me be more on time," said Mayer. "The biggest thing is getting a good pitch to hit and a pitch you can do damage on. Thankfully I was on time and he put it in a good spot for me to do damage. It always feels good to hit a homer." After hitting .222 in his first seven games in the big leagues, Mayer has slashed .294/.400/.882 over his last eight with three homers and a double. He's scored eight runs over the stretch, and has logged at least one hit in four of his last six games. The future is now for the Red Sox, with Mayer, Roman Anthony, and Kristian Campbell -- Boston's "Big 3" of prospects -- all on the Major League club. Growing pains and ups and downs are to be expected, as we've seen with Campbell's lengthy slump and Anthony's cold start. But Mayer is beginning to heat up at the dish, and is starting to showcase his full potential at the big league level for Boston.
