Speaking of better, the Los Angeles Lakers almost forgot where their better game was last night against the Spurs. Down as much as 20 points in the 3rd quarter, they came back to take game one in the Western Conference Finals 89-85. Game two is in Los Angeles on Friday.

In case you missed it, the Champions League Final was amazing! Talk about bringing the better! With the score tied 1-1 at the end of extra time, the match against Manchester United and Chelsea would be decided by penalty kicks. The first set looked bleak for Man U when Cristiano Ronaldo’s attempt was blocked. The team got a second shot when the last attempt by Chelsea was also blocked and a fresh round of kicks was started. In that second round, Chelsea’s second miss sealed the deal for Man U.
