  • Celtics Secure 7Th Seed for Playoffs Sabonis Leads Pacers Past Hornets in Play-In Round
    ARAB TIMES, THURSDAY, MAY 20, 2021 16 Torino’s Sasa Lukic (right), vies for the ball during the Italian Serie A soccer match between Lazio and Torino, at Rome’s Olympic Stadium, Italy. Torino ensured they will remain in Serie A next season after playing Lazio to a 0-0 draw that also confi rmed Ben- evento’s relegation. (AP) Sports Latest sports scores at — http://sports.arabtimesonline.com Celtics secure 7th seed for playoffs Sabonis leads Pacers past Hornets in play-in round BOSTON, May 19, (AP): The Boston Celtics were one of the NBA’s worst teams over the final month of the regular season. Thanks to Jayson Tatum, they’ll still have a chance to make a play- off run. Tatum scored 32 of his 50 points in the second half, and the Celtics rallied to beat the Washington Wizards 118- 100 in the play-in round on Tuesday night. Kemba Walker added 29 points for Boston, which secured the seventh seed for the playoffs and a fi rst-round matchup with second-seeded Brook- lyn. That series opens on Saturday. Tatum has drawn criticism at times for his quiet leadership style. He said Tuesday’s performance was how he wants to lead. The Celtics struggled down the stretch, dropping 10 of their fi nal 15 games of the season. Coach Brad Ste- vens said having to respond was in line with a season in which they had to fi ght through multiple players be- ing unavailable because of injuries and stints in the league’s health and safety protocols.

    PREGAME NOTES 2019 TIM HORTONS NHL HERITAGE CLASSIC WINNIPEG JETS vs. CALGARY FLAMES MOSAIC STADIUM, REGINA, SASK. – OCT. 26, 2019 JETS, FLAMES FACE OFF OUTDOORS The Winnipeg Jets and Calgary Flames face off tonight in the 2019 Tim Hortons NHL Heritage Classic (10 p.m. ET / 8 p.m. CST, CBC, SN1, CITY, TVAS2, NBCSN) – the League’s 28th regular-season outdoor game and fifth in the Heritage Classic series. The Jets and Flames each have participated in one prior outdoor game, both under the Heritage Classic umbrella. Winnipeg played host to the 2016 Tim Hortons NHL Heritage Classic at Investors Group Field, falling 3-0 to the Edmonton Oilers. Nine Jets players who appeared in that game remain with the team: Kyle Connor, Nikolaj Ehlers, Connor Hellebuyck, Patrik Laine, Adam Lowry, Josh Morrissey, Mathieu Perreault, Mark Scheifele and Blake Wheeler. Current Calgary goaltender Cam Talbot started for Edmonton in that contest, stopping all 31 shots he faced for the third shutout in outdoor NHL game history. Current Jets forward Mark Letestu scored the winning goal (while shorthanded), as a member of the Oilers. And current Flames forward Milan Lucic recorded two penalty minutes for Edmonton. Calgary served as hosts for the 2011 Tim Hortons NHL Heritage Classic at McMahon Stadium, defeating the Montreal Canadiens 4-0. Two players who appeared in that game remain with the Flames: Mikael Backlund and Mark Giordano. Overall, the Jets feature 11 players who have participated in a prior outdoor NHL game (minimum: 1 GP in 2019-20), while the Flames have four. Talbot leads that group with four such appearances, though he served as a backup goaltender for three of them (2014 SS w/ NYR [2 GP], 2019 SS w/ PHI).

    2019 Bridgestone NHL Winter Classic – Blackhawks vs. Bruins POSTGAME NOTES 2019 BRIDGESTONE NHL WINTER CLASSIC BOSTON BRUINS 4 at CHICAGO BLACKHAWKS 2 NOTRE DAME STADIUM, SOUTH BEND, IND. – JAN. 1, 2019 KURALY, BRUINS RALLY FOR WINTER CLASSIC VICTORY Dublin, Ohio, native Sean Kuraly scored the tiebreaking goal with 9:40 remaining in regulation to help the Bruins rally from a pair of one-goal deficits and defeat the Blackhawks in front of a sell-out crowd of 76,126 in the 2019 Bridgestone NHL Winter Classic at Notre Dame Stadium in South Bend, Ind. Kuraly, who scored the overtime winner in Boston’s final outing of 2018 (Dec. 29 at BUF), became the first Bruins player to register a tiebreaking, winning goal in consecutive team games since Brad Marchand did so in three straight contests from March 3-8, 2018. Kuraly now has three game-winning goals in the regular season (122 GP) as well as one in the playoffs (16 GP) – that was scored in double-overtime of Game 5 in the 2017 First Round at OTT (2-0—2). Kuraly has recorded three goals in his past five outings after totaling one through his first 34 games of 2018-19. With the victory, the Bruins (22-14-4, 48 points) – who started the day on the outside of the playoff picture – leapfrogged the idle Sabres (21-13-6, 48 points) and Canadiens (21-14-5, 47 points) to move into third place in the Atlantic Division. COMEBACK TREND CONTINUES IN OUTDOOR GAMES, 2018-19 The Bruins staged the 12th comeback victory in the NHL’s 26 regular-season outdoor games (46.2%).
