SGA says Thunder have what it takes to rebound from game one heartbreaker
Oklahoma City star Shai Gilgeous-Alexander said the Thunder must stick to the principles that made them the best team in the NBA regular season as they seek to bounce back from a devastating loss to Indiana in game one of the NBA Finals. The Thunder, who led the league with 68 regular-season victories, had never trailed and led by 15 early in the fourth quarter of the championship series opener. But the tenacious Pacers rallied and seized the 111-110 victory on Tyrese Haliburton's pull-up basket with three-tenths of a second remaining. "As much as we can, we just got to treat it like every other game, every other situation we've been in," Gilgeous-Alexander said. "Yes, we haven't been in this situation , but that doesn't mean our character has to change, or what we did last time. "It's still basketball, the game of basketball we grew up playing. The rules don't change because we're in the Finals. After Indiana pulled within one with with 48.6 seconds remaining, Gilgeous-Alexander the 26-year-old Canadian who supplanted Denver star Nikola Jokic as the NBA Most Valuable Player this season had a chance to put the Thunder ahead by three but his fadeaway shot attempt didn't fall, leaving the door open for Haliburton's heroics. "I thought I got a pretty good look, felt good, didn't go in," he said. "Then they got a look, and it went in. Can't do anything about it now. Just got to be better for next game." Thursday's outcome recalled the opening game of the Western Conference semi-finals, when Denver's Aaron Gordon drained a last-gasp three-pointer to lift the Nuggets to a 121-119 victory over the Thunder. Oklahoma City went on to beat the Nuggets in seven games, and Gilgeous-Alexander said it would be no harder to bounce back after another narrow defeat. "Me personally, how you lose doesn't really matter," he said. "Obviously it sucks, last-second shot, the energy in the arena and stuff like that. But we lost at the end of the day. We lost game one. We've lost game one before. "The series isn't first to one, it's first to four." bb/rcw

New York Rangers call David Quinn to rejoin the team but not as a head coach
It's not everyday that a team calls back former head coach after firing them, and its even rarer to see a team calling back a coach and offer them the role of an assistant coach. The New York Rangers called their former coach, David Quinn to join them, not as a head coach, but as an assistant to Mike Sullivan. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now While the designation of Quinn has been demoted, many expected him not to join the Rangers again. However, it seems Quinn is more than happy to be a part of the New York Rangers. Will this new position affect his performance? Or will he be able to guide the team under Sullivan's umbrella? David Quinn joins New York Rangers as an assistant coach David Quinn was head coach for the New York Rangers from 2018 to 2021, where he guided the team by making important decisions. However, when Chris Drury became the Rangers' General Manager, he fired Quinn from his role, which led to a sour departure on Quinn's side. After getting relieved from the Rangers, Quinn went on to coach the San Jose Sharks from 2022 to 2024, after which he was called back by the Rangers in 2025. But, what made Quinn take this decision/ his last interaction with the Rangers was not exactly roses, but his bond with Mike Sullivan helped the Rangers hire Quinn. Even though the role is smaller than before, it is surprising that Quinn agreed to it.

As per news, Joe Sacco and Ty Hennes will fill out the remaining roles. Though it is not made clear as to what designation Sacco and Hennes will get, it is sure that both will be joining the Rangers. The New York Rangers have failed to win the Stanley Cup since 1994. There have been various changes in coaching staff, players, and other tactics were applied, but all to vain. With Mike Sullivan taking on the role of the head coach, there's hope amongst fans that the Rangers will rise again. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Mike Sullivan guided the Pittsburgh Penguins and helped them win two Stanley Cups in 2016 and 2017. Besides, Sullivan had also coached Team USA at the 4-Nation's face off, which gives him an edge over other coaches. Another reason as to why Quinn willingly accepted the demoted role was because he had earlier worked with Sullivan in Pittsburgh and Team USA, both in an assistant role. Also Read:

Why is Matthew Tkachuk so sure the 2025 Stanley Cup will be better than last year's intense finale?
Hockey fans are once again treated to a blockbuster showdown, as the Edmonton Oilers and Florida Panthers clash in a rematch of last season's epic Stanley Cup Final. Only this time, both teams are stronger, hungrier, and ready to write a new chapter in what's fast becoming one of the NHL's most thrilling rivalries. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now What does Matthew Tkachuk know that makes him bet on a better Stanley Cup in 2025? In 2024, the Panthers made history by capturing their first-ever Stanley Cup title, but not without a fight. Despite storming to a 3–0 series lead, they had to survive a gritty push from Edmonton before sealing a narrow 2–1 win in a nail-biting Game 7. Now, just a year later, the hockey world finds these two powerhouses on a collision course again, and early signs suggest this might be even more electric. The opening game set the tone, with Edmonton taking a 4–3 win in overtime—thanks to Leon Draisaitl's clutch goal—marking the first time since 1990 that the Oilers have led a Stanley Cup Final series. That year also happens to be the last time they hoisted the Cup, making this moment all the more meaningful for Oil Country. NHL Playoff Highlights | Panthers vs. Oilers | SCF Gm 1 | June 4, 2025 Florida star Matthew Tkachuk believes fans are in for a treat this time around. 'They're better. We're better. It's going to be a great series,' Tkachuk told Pierre LeBrun of The Athletic on Thursday. His confidence speaks volumes about how far both teams have come in the past year. Indeed, offseason moves and trade deadline acquisitions have bolstered both rosters. Florida landed high-impact veterans Seth Jones and Brad Marchand, while Edmonton reinforced their blue line by bringing in Jake Walman. These tweaks have paid dividends, evident in the sheer quality of hockey being displayed. While Edmonton draws first blood in this rematch, the Panthers are far from rattled. With experienced leaders and a deep bench, they know this series is just heating up. If Game 1 was any indication, fans can expect an unforgettable ride as two of the NHL's best go head-to-head once again. Also Read:
