March Madness was missing this year. It turns out that all the lower upheavals, improbable feedback and frantic finishes were simply postponed by a few months. Welcome to May Madness.

Oops, they did it again: Knicks finished a 20 -point return For the second time in three nights to stun the Celtics, 91-90, and climb 2-0 on the reigning champions.

The Celtics held the Knicks aimless for almost five minutes to start the match and their 20 -point lead in the third quarter was comfortable. Then came the last period.
New York opened a 21-4 race in the fourth quarter while Boston has closed essentially, going more than eight minutes aimlessly on the field at some point.

Already seen: The return of 20 points was not the only thing that seemed familiar in match 2. Like Match 1, the Celtics made exactly 25% of their attempts at 3 points (15 for 60 in match 1, 10-40 in match 2, 25 per 100 in total) and Mikal Bridges made another defensive game to seal the game in the last second.

What do we see? Before this year, the NBA had never seen a team of 60 wins drop 2-0 in the second round of the playoff series since it increased to 16 teams in 1984. This has now happened twice in the last two days; First the Cavs, now the Celtics.

Meanwhile, in the last drink …

🏒 The moose is loose!

There are hot streaks, And there is everything Mikko “The Moose” Rantanen is at the moment.

Man on fire: Rantanen recorded a hat trick Wednesday (all in the second period) to lift the stars in front of the jets, 3-2, in their first series of series. This occurs after marking a hat tour on Saturday (all in the third period) to beat the avalanche, its former team, in match 7.

Some statistics:

He is the third player with hat tricks in consecutive qualifying matches, joining Jari Kurri (1985) and Doug Bentley (1944).
He is the first player with several periods of three goals in the same playoff series.
He scored or assisted on the last 12 goals of the playoffs, The longest sequence of all time. Mario Lemieux is the next closest to nine years.

The backdrop: Rantanen, who heads the series playoffs (8) and points (15), has taken a winding road to arrive here. The Finnish striker started the season in Colorado before being exchanged in Carolina, who sent him to Dallas 40 days later. This job has already returned to haunt the avalanche. For stars, it works beautifully so far.

Meanwhile, in Toronto …

🎓 Trump, Saban to shape the future of university sports

For years, university sports leaders I went to the national capital by dozens to put pressure for aid in the congress in the midst of a period of seismic change. Soon, the White House can intervene, with a little help from a legend of university football.

From Yahoo Sports' Ross Dellenger:

President Donald Trump plans to create a presidential commission on college athletics, the first stage of what could be a several month -old business for solutions to the problems suffering from the ecosystem, sources told Yahoo Sports.

Trump's involvement, although not surprising, is a historic moment in the history of university athletics – the most powerful leader in the country potentially shaping the future of industry. Many university sports workers have been informed of the issue. We don't know when an ad could come.

The Commission should deeply examine the heavy landscape of university sports, including the frequency of players' movements in the transfer portal, the compensation for unregulated booster paid to athletes, the job debate, the application of title IX to income sharing payments and even membership and television contracts at conference.

Nick Saban, a central figure in the fight for university sports legislation, should be an integral part of the commission's work. He met Trump during his visit to Tuscaloosa last week to pronounce a graduation address at Alabama – a meeting which is now transformed into plans for this executive group to be formed.

The backdrop: The involvement of the White House is involved in the midst of standing progress on Capitol Hill, where 13 hearings of the Congress on University Sports have taken place in the past five years with little to show. More than a dozen bills have been presented – but none have reached a debate on the Senate or the soil of the Chamber.
