The Padres dropped down three straight sacrifice bunts.

The Reds failed to record a single out on any of them.

[Minnesota Timberwolves @Timberwolves]

The Minnesota Timberwolves are deeply saddened by the passing of Hall of Fame coach Rick Adelman.

Adelman served as head coach of the Timberwolves from 2011-14 and exemplified leadership, integrity and professionalism throughout his distinguished career. Serving as head coach for five teams over 23 NBA seasons, he became one of the game’s most respected and accomplished leaders, finishing 10th on the league’s all-time wins list. Adelman made a lasting impact on our organization, his players and the game of basketball.

We extend our heartfelt condolences to wife Mary Kay, the Adelman family and all who had the privilege of knowing him.

[Seattle Seahawks @Seahawks]

We did that.

The NFL still doesn’t realize how good Byron Murphy already is.

That’s about to change.

A thread on why the Seahawks may finally have the dominant defensive tackle Pete Carroll spent YEARS trying to find: 🧵

Buffalo is truly cursed.

[John Flesta @jflesta]

Oh, look at the timing, and the idea is already resurfacing.

Should the Wolves go all-in for Giannis to get over the hump in the West? 👀

[John Flesta @jflesta]

Last night was a nice reminder on why I believe you pull the plug and go all in with Giannis for some semblance of current core.

Conversely though, this team may decide to pull plug and start collecting assets for 2-3 years from now. I don't agree with that approach at all with Ant and Jaden, but would understand it.

[John Flesta @jflesta]

Wolves get hot to try and make it a game. They can't avoid "weird" games, so nothing would surprise me, but getting close to nothing from Randle, Gobert, AND McDaniels is quite the nuisance.

[John Flesta @jflesta]

This feels like it is absolutely over and the Wolves don't care at all. Complete disaster from the front court again, minus Naz tonight. Everyone else has had a terrible series.

[ProFootballTalk @ProFootballTalk]

Seahawks get six primetime games as reigning champions. https://t.co/qVo6DFcZFp

[John Flesta @jflesta]

Wolves frontcourt picking another great night to be collectively abysmal. Couldn't have played much worse across the 4 regular rotation guys.

[John Flesta @jflesta]

I don't understand why this is so complicated. Shannon has been awful tonight, go try Clark and see what happens in a 3-4 minute stint.

[Punch-Drunk Wolves @PDWolves]

Finch should remember his secret weapon from games like this in the regular season.

(Hint/the answer: it's Jaylen Clark minutes.)

[John Flesta @jflesta]

While the correct call, I am shocked they made the call to make it a F2

[John Flesta @jflesta]

That better be at least a Flagrant 1...

[New York Yankees @Yankees]

Well, John, we thank you.
