A charming world premiere puts a musical spin on ‘Pygmalion' — again
George Bernard Washington III, the Julliard-bound prodigy at the center of Olney Theatre Center's 'Senior Class,' is a student of stratospheric standards. Tasked with one-upping 'My Fair Lady' and penning his own adaptation of 'Pygmalion' for his high school's spring musical, G.B. repeatedly emphasizes that 'pretty good' is the enemy of greatness. If his show isn't a triumph, it's a train wreck.

New York Knicks Hold Home Court Against Indiana Pacers
New York Knicks Hold Home Court Against Indiana Pacers originally appeared on Athlon Sports. In a pivotal game 5 for the New York Knicks, they definitely came out hungry and ultimately beat the Indiana Pacers 111-94. Advertisement The first quarter came at the Pacers like a whirlwind. Jalen Brunson, determined for this not to be his last game of the season, came out dropping 14 in the first quarter. The Pacers had three early turnovers and some cold shooting to start the game found them trailing by four at the end of the first. Karl-Anthony Towns showed that his knee was not a problem, taking on an early double team to finish at the rim twice to start the quarter. Obi Toppin would respond for the Pacers, attacking the rim aggressively to score two buckets at the rim for the Pacers to bring them back within three. With Brunson getting an early rest, Josh Hart would come in and provide a calming hand to his team while facilitating the offense. Midway through the second quarter, the Knicks found themselves leading by eight. Both teams would fall into a bit of a shooting slump, but would continue to attack the rim with the hopes of getting to the free-throw line. In an interesting split, the Pacers had 17 points from their starters and 17 points from their bench. Brunson would return after the Knicks went plus-seven while he was on the bench getting a much-needed rest. The third quarter started with the Knicks leading by 11, and the Pacers desperately needing to get Tyrese Haliburton going, who had only four points in the first half. Brunson would pick up right where he left off in the first half while scoring seven of the Knicks' first points in the quarter. With the Pacers' inability to rebound the basketball, they found themselves down by 16 points early. Advertisement Turnovers virtually took Indiana out of the game, as the lead ballooned to 20 points at the halfway point of the third. Towns would pick up his fourth personal foul, which would cause him to go to the bench. Toppin would come in again and provide a lift off the bench, cutting the lead to 13. However, sloppy ball-handling and shooting helped the Knicks increase the lead back up to 20 points. Down by 17 points to start the fourth, the Pacers definitely needed to make some adjustments if they hoped to climb back into this game. Pascal Siakam would force a turnover from Hart, finding Bennedict Mathurin for the transition bucket. Haliburton only had seven field goal attempts at the end of regulation. Ultimately, their efforts proved not to be enough. The series now shifts back to Indiana for a pivotal Game 6.

Pascal Siakam's Awkward Interaction With Indiana Reporter Goes Viral
Pascal Siakam's Awkward Interaction With Indiana Reporter Goes Viral originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Indiana Pacers lost in Game 5 to the New York Knicks, falling 111-94. Bennedict Mathurin led the Pacers with 23 points off the bench, although after the game, Indiana made it clear that they simply did not put forth the effort needed to win. Advertisement "We obviously didn't play with the level of force that we needed to," said head coach Rich Carlisle. "We're gonna have to play much better." His players agreed and made it clear to both the media and fans that they would play stronger in Game 6 on Saturday, although one reporter was not satisfied with that answer. Gregg Doyel of the Indianapolis Star, who has been banned from Indiana Fever games after an uncomfortable interaction with Caitlin Clark last season, was back to his usual shenanigans. 'How is it possible to not play hard enough in Game 5?" he asked Pascal Siakam. 'What are you talking about?" countered the veteran forward. "They played harder than us. It's okay. We played hard. They played harder. What's your point? I don't get it.' Advertisement Siakam, understandably, was already frustrated with the loss, and Doyel's line of questioning didn't help, although the reporter kept pushing the issue. 'You good?" Siakam interrupted. "You good, bro? You're looking for something I know, but damn." A video of the exchange has amassed over six million views on social media, with the vast majority of fans commenting to defend Siakam or lambast Doyel. "Is the pressure getting to Siakam or is this just bad reporting?" asked FanSided's social media account. "They're about to ban Gregg Doyle from any Indy sports coverage," posted a fan. "He already had Caitlin uncomfortable last season, and they barred him from covering her. Now look." Advertisement Doyel's line of questioning was awkward, although he did bring up a decent point. Do the Pacers have what it takes to close out the series? They will have a second chance in front of their home fans on Saturday.
