Cleveland’s resilience was on full display as they clawed back from a nine-point deficit in the final five minutes to defeat the Hornets. Evan Mobley’s crucial three-pointer set the stage for Donovan Mitchell’s composed free throws, keeping the Cavs firmly atop the Eastern Conference. The victory not only extended their unbeaten streak but also bolstered their confidence heading into the playoffs.
Jokic’s historic performance stole the spotlight in Denver’s 149-141 overtime win against Phoenix. The Serbian center’s triple-double was the first in NBA history to feature over 30 points, 20 rebounds, and 20 assists, underlining his dominance. With the postseason approaching, the Nuggets look increasingly dangerous as they sit third in the Western Conference.
In cricket, India and New Zealand prepare for a highly anticipated Champions Trophy final in Dubai. India’s spin-heavy attack has been a key factor in their unbeaten run, while New Zealand’s balanced approach, led by Rachin Ravindra and Kane Williamson, poses a serious threat. With history favoring the Black Caps in ICC tournaments, the final promises an intriguing battle.

Kohli’s unbeaten hundred against Pakistan and match-winning knock against Australia showcased his class, while Rohit’s aggressive starts have set the tone. Whether this final marks their ODI farewell remains to be seen, but both will be eager to add another ICC trophy to their legacy.
As the NBA playoff race intensifies and the Champions Trophy final looms, the stakes couldn’t be higher. Whether it’s the Cavs’ pursuit of a championship, Jokic’s unparalleled brilliance, or India’s quest for ODI dominance, sports fans are in for a thrilling ride.
