By Brian Lewis on Apr 21, 2021 03:16 am
The Nets received bad news Tuesday regarding James Harden's hamstring rehab, but at least Kevin Durant's recovery from a thigh contusion appears to be going much better. A source confirmed that Durant's injury is considered minor enough that it didn't require him to return to Brooklyn. He's still with the Nets on their three-game road...

By Associated Press on Apr 21, 2021 02:56 am
ANAHEIM, Calif. — Any time Shohei Ohtani takes the mound for the Los Angeles Angels, it’s a must-see experience.

Yankees will need many more mentally tough wins like this

By Ian O'Connor on Apr 21, 2021 12:07 am
Beyond everything else that was wrong with the Yankees over 15 games from hell, from their wayward hacks to their joyless disposition, they came across as mentally soft. Fragile. Lacking the stomach for the fight. They seemed to be everything their dynastic forebears were not, at least until Tuesday night, when the Yankees did to...

Taijuan Walker, Luis Rojas booted from ugly Mets loss

By Mike Puma on Apr 20, 2021 11:45 pm
CHICAGO — Thirty-six degrees at first pitch was a heat wave compared to the icicles that formed on the Mets' bats Tuesday night. Not that this underachieving lineup had exactly crushed the ball over the weekend in Colorado, but just enough timely hits surfaced to escape with a series victory. No such luck on this...

Rangers stars crumble under pressure again in worrisome sign

By Larry Brooks on Apr 20, 2021 11:29 pm
You don't want to make sweeping generalizations off one game, even (or not even) one as bad as this 6-1 back-of-the-hand dismissal by the Islanders that the Rangers suffered at the Coliseum on Tuesday. So we won't. But what about three games within 12 days, the three against the Islanders on April 9, 11 and...

Knicks bringing MSG to life again

By Mike Vaccaro on Apr 20, 2021 11:22 pm
All you had to do was look around Madison Square Garden and it was obvious your ears were lying to you, had to be. On a good night, in normal times, they can squeeze 19,812 inside here, and when you give them a good reason, they can turn your eardrums to dust. Around 17,812 of...

By Mollie Walker on Apr 20, 2021 11:15 pm

By Brian Lewis on Apr 20, 2021 10:43 pm

Devils nearly pull off insane comeback in loss to Penguins

By Associated Press on Apr 20, 2021 10:17 pm
PITTSBURGH — The Pittsburgh Penguins can play dazzling hockey at times. They can also occasionally flirt with disaster. They managed to do both in a 7-6 victory over New Jersey on Tuesday that started as a blowout before stunningly turning into something far more harrowing. Nearly becoming the first NHL team to blow a six-goal,...

Knicks erupt in every way for seventh straight win

By Marc Berman on Apr 20, 2021 10:09 pm
Seven more assists from Julius Randle. Eleven more 3-pointers combined from backcourt men RJ Barrett and Reggie Bullock. Countless more hustle pays by the nasty center tandem of Nerlens Noel and Taj Gibson. And another second-half defensive gem by the Knicks, holding the Hornets to 31 points. It all rolled out to a Lucky 7,...

James McCann a big factor to Mets rotation's early success

By Mike Puma on Apr 20, 2021 10:07 pm
CHICAGO — James McCann takes it personally. From Jacob deGrom right on down the line, the Mets have received dominant starting pitching to begin the season, a fact in which the team's new catcher has taken a certain level of satisfaction. The Mets entered play Tuesday at Wrigley Field with a 2.27 ERA from the...

By Dan Martin on Apr 20, 2021 10:00 pm
After all the speeches and lineup changeups, all the Yankees needed to get a win was a bases-loaded wild pitch to turn things around. The Yankees' lineup looked about as weak as ever, but they got the result they wanted, as the new-look lineup produced just enough to squeak out a 3-1 win over the...

Rangers destroyed by Islanders as Jacob Trouba, playoff hopes take nasty hit

By Mollie Walker on Apr 20, 2021 09:51 pm
If the Rangers were going to get a reality check after handily defeating the lowly Devils four games in a row, leave it to the Islanders.
