Sadly, Enterprise State's season comes to an end with the loss.

Rangers could regret January transfer decision as Gio van Bronckhorst signing tipped for big things
Millwall insider Murray Wallace reckons Rangers could rue letting Zak Lovelace go after the striker rejoined the English club in January. Gers seemed to have pulled off a major coup by trumping a string of Premier League clubs to the teenager's signature in 2022. Advertisement Lovelace became the Lions' second-youngest player in history when he made his senior debut aged just 15 years and 340 days. READ MORE: Rangers transfer news as big spenders join Matija Frigan chase and Vaclav Cerny loan terms 'revealed' READ MORE: Nilson Angulo breaks Celtic transfer silence as Paulo Bernardo set to make history with Portugal Yet despite being one of the hottest prospects in England, Lovelace's development at Ibrox was stunted by never-ending injuries. Still only 19, he was allowed to return to south-east London at the turn of the year after amassing just eight appearances in royal blue. Advertisement A knee injury curtailed his campaign but Wallace is confident the promising attacker can still fulfil his undoubted potential at the Den. Scots stopper Wallace - who has just pulled the curtain down on his seven-year stint at Millwall - told Record Sport: "It's a bit of a strange one because obviously he was at Millwall as a young lad and made his debut at 15. "The quality, speed and strength for such a young lad. I thought there's potential there. "It's difficult to judge him at 15 so when he goes up to Rangers, I thought it's a good place for him to develop. "It's good to see that he played a few times for Rangers in Europe and stuff as well which is massive. Zak Lovelace - holding the Glasgow Cup - was prolific for Rangers B side -Credit:SNS Group "When he re-signed, he only had a short bit of time then he got an injury and had to have surgery on his knee. Advertisement "So he's still recovering from that and hasn't really had a chance to train and get into the team. "He's been injured since he's joined so he could be one for next season if he kicks on, gets his head down. "He's still young, he just needs to work hard for his opportunity and take it when he gets it." If Lovelace can finally get his career up and running, Wallace reckons Rangers could live to regret not keeping the talented forward. He said: "Potentially. That's always the risk with younger players. "If they are not right for you at that time, then it's so difficult to keep them. "You see it all the time when players go out on loan and then they have a good season. Advertisement "They'll come back and start playing or just develop so much as a player. "It's all just about getting game time to develop them and if he gets his opportunity and game time with Millwall, then he could be a real top striker. "Of course, that could be one that they might regret. But it's obviously just not right for them at this moment in time."

Thunder have been here before, down 2-1 in these playoffs, do they have another comeback in them?
INDIANAPOLIS — Oklahoma City has been here before. Just a month ago, the Thunder trailed the Nuggets 2-1 and had to win Game 4 on the road to stay in that series. They did it in a grinding, at times sloppy game, where Cason Wallace and Aaron Wiggins sparked a fourth-quarter run and comeback that gave OKC the win and showed they could win gritty, tough games. Indiana is a very different team — don't expect Game 4 of the NBA Finals to be a grinding and slow affair — but having done this before gives Oklahoma City confidence that it can do it again. 'We've been here before. Got to bounce back. Get the car back on the road,' Wallace said. 'Yeah, it feels a lot similar,' Shai Gilgeous-Alexander added. 'Obviously losing Game 1 on a buzzer-beater, winning big Game 2, being up in Game 3 and losing the lead. There's a lot of similarities... 'But at the end of the day, we have to be who we are and who we've been all season. I think we got back to that in that series. If we want to give ourselves a chance in this series, it has to be the same thing.' Being themselves meant a couple of things to the Thunder. One was not turning the ball over, something they did 19 times in their Game 3 loss. Three of those were backcourt turnovers. 'Yeah, we turned the ball over at a high rate the last game,' Wallace said. 'We got to turn that over.' The Thunder also played more in isolation in Game 3 than they would have liked, with the assists and ball movement that had defined their run to the NBA Finals fading in the face of more intense and focused defensive pressure from the Pacers. 'I think we played on their terms more than we played on our terms of how we wanted the game to be and to flow,' Alex Caruso said.' I think that was apparent just with the runs that they went on when they played well.' A large part of disrupting the Thunder's flow and limiting their assists has been the impressive Pacers' transition defense. 'Some of it's been our transition, I think. I think we do a lot of damage there that we haven't gotten in this series so far,' Thunder coach Daigneault said. The Pacers have been here, too — they have led every team these playoffs by 2-1. They also won Game 4 in every round. Indiana needs to do that again on Friday night, or this will be a best-of-three series where Oklahoma City will have momentum and home court advantage. 'We're excited to play another game in front of our home crowd, approach this game the same way we approached yesterday,' Tyrese Haliburton said. 'Just control what we can. I think the biggest thing is just playing hard. If we can do that, we can figure everything out from there. 'There's no need to get super giddy or excited. There's still a lot of work to be done.' If the Pacers can do that work in Game 4 in front of their raucous home crowd, they will be in command of this series.

Ravens role player earns unexpected praise from former NFL coach Jon Gruden
Ravens role player earns unexpected praise from former NFL coach Jon Gruden One of the Ravens' role players caught the eye of former NFL coach Jon Gruden. Being one of the NFL's premier franchises means there are always eyes on the organization. The Baltimore Ravens are never short of a few admirers or interested parties. That comes with the territory as the reigning and defending two-time AFC North champions. Expectations are again soaring as another regular season is quickly approaching. There is star power all over this team, and in 2025, this proud organization is scheduled to play in primetime four times. They have an opportunity to make history by winning the division for a third consecutive season. That would be the first time any team has accomplished that feat since the AFC Central was transformed into a four-team division 23 years ago. In 2024, Baltimore placed 11 players on the AFC's Pro Bowl roster. Six players on the roster earned All-Pro designations. Much is expected of them, and the discussions about their potential are continual. One of the more recent came from a recent visitor. Jon Gruden names four Ravens as Gruden Grinders. One is a designee that you may not have expected. Jon Gruden isn't someone who can sneak around unnoticed, so when he attended Ravens' OTAs recently, news traveled. As expected, everyone wanted to know the nature of his visit, and head coach John Harbaugh explained. The former Raiders and Tampa Bay Buccaneers coach seemingly hasn't ceased his analysis of the flock since leaving town. Recently, he added four familiar faces to his list of 'Gruden Grinders'. Three are no surprise to anyone. They're also 2024 Pro Bowlers: Patrick Ricard, Tyler Linderbaum, and Marlon Humphries. The other is a depth piece at wide receiver, fifth-year Raven Tylan Wallace. 54 games with one start is the extent of Wallace's regular-season resume. Injuries forced him into action to start both of Baltimore's postseason games last season. He snagged two of three targets during the Wild Card and Divisional Rounds. In total, he has tallied 308 yards and a touchdown during his career. It seems the opportunities will be limited in an offense featuring Lamar Jackson, Derrick Henry, Rashod Bateman, Zay Flowers, Mark Andrews, and Isaiah Likely. Gruden, however, defines a 'Grinder' as "guys who love to play and compete", guys who "will play for nothing." Every team needs a couple of those guys, and having one in Wallace adds a fine insurance plan for the roster.
