Oklahoma City opened the game on an 11-3 run and extended the advantage throughout the first quarter. Cason Wallace drained a three-pointer as the first quarter expired to put the Thunder up 26-9 at the end of the period. Oklahoma City led 65-32 at halftime and 88-62 heading into the fourth quarter.

Reports: Twins sale has momentum toward $1.7B asking price
May 29 - Minnesota Twins ownership is making progress toward a sale of the major league team, with several prospective buyers touring Target Field and meeting with the Pohlad family, according to multiple media reports. The Pohlad family, which has owned the Twins since 1984, announced in October 2024 that the franchise was for sale, with a $1.7 billion asking price. The Pohlads retained investment bank Allen & Company to guide a potential sale. Front Office Sports reported on Wednesday that there is momentum toward a sale after the process had stalled earlier this year. Billionaire suitors Mat and Justin Ishbia ended their interest in buying the team and instead, according to reports, increased their stake in the Chicago White Sox in February. The Minnesota Star Tribune reported Tuesday that other suitors have traveled to Minneapolis in the past two to three weeks to tour the stadium and meet with the family and team executives. The Pohlads rejected a bid of $1.5 billion, according to Front Office Sports. The franchise is valued at $1.65 billion, 22nd out of 30 MLB teams, according to CNBC calculations last month. Forbes and Sportico estimated in March that the Twins are valued between $1.5 billion and $1.7 billion. For a recent comparison, the Baltimore Orioles were sold in 2024 for a reported $1.725 billion to private-equity executive David Rubinstein. One possible friction point for potential buyers is the Twins' $452 million in debts, according to multiple reports. The late Carl Pohlad paid $44 million to buy the Twins. Since his death in 2009, his son Jim has been the controlling owner. Jim's nephew, Joe Pohlad, has been handling primary administration responsibilities since 2022. --Field Level Media

Stephen Curry's teammate Brandin Podziemski gets latest injury update. Image via: Lachlan Cunningham/ GettyImages The Golden State Warriors have recently confirmed that Stephen Curry's teammate, Brandin Podziemski, underwent successful surgery on his left wrist. The team announced that the 22-year-old had a debridement procedure in Los Angeles this week. He is expected to fully recover and return in time for training camp. The surgery, done on Podziemski's shooting hand, may offer clarity on his post-season shooting slump with the Warriors. Brandin Podziemski had successful surgery on his left wrist Brandin Podziemski quietly played through significant discomfort during the Golden State Warriors' postseason run. According to the Warriors' official release, the young guard had successful left wrist debridement surgery and is on track to be ready for the 2025-26 season. 'Brandin Podziemski underwent successful left wrist debridement surgery yesterday in Los Angeles. He is expected to make a full recovery and be ready for the start of training camp,' the Warriors wrote on X. Orthopedic specialist Dr. Nirav Pandya explained on social media that wrist debridement involves the removal of inflamed or scar tissue within the joint, helping to improve mobility and healing. The timing of this surgery now raises questions about Podziemski's playoff performance. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với mức chênh lệch giá thấp nhất IC Markets Đăng ký Undo After shooting a solid 44.5% from the field and 37.2% from three during the regular season, his postseason numbers dropped to 36.4% overall and 32.8% from deep. The shooting dip became more noticeable in the Western Conference Semifinals against Minnesota, where he converted just 9 of 40 shots (22.5%) through the first four games. Despite the struggles, Podziemski still had moments of brilliance, most notably a 28-point performance against Houston in Game 4 of the first round and another 28-point effort in the season-ending loss to the Timberwolves. But the pain may have affected his consistency. In his own words, after his Game 4 outburst, Podziemski reflected on his mindset: "First, you got to tell yourself you belong in the moment. Good and great players want to be in the moment, thrive in the moment, don't back down from it." "Everything I do, I'm never going to have a regretful decision. I'm just going to go out there and know and tell myself I belong, because I do." The Warriors rode a strong finish into the playoffs, with Podziemski part of a revamped starting lineup that included Stephen Curry, Draymond Green, Moses Moody, and Jimmy Butler. That unit helped the team finish 48-34, eventually defeating the Rockets in seven games before bowing out to Minnesota.
