The Warriors weren’t a championship team this season for a variety of reasons. But one of the key missing ingredients for Golden State’s success this season has been on display throughout the Miami Heat’s improbable postseason run to the NBA Finals.Joining Draymond Green on his podcast to break down Game 2 of the NBA Finals, Kerr on Monday praised several Heat players, including Duncan Robinson, Caleb Martin and Kevin Love, for their willingness to embrace varying roles.“None of those guys on Miami are sitting there saying, ‘Well, I didn’t play’ or ‘Man, they put in so and so,'” Kerr said. “They’re just all about winning.“And you know this from our groups that we’ve had,” Kerr said, referencing the Warriors teams that won four titles, “when you have that championship mentality, every guy is bought in, every guy is just trying to win, nobody cares about any of that stuff.

HAMBURG, Germany (AP) — Stuttgart ended Hamburger SV’s last hopes of a return to the Bundesliga this year by winning the second leg of their playoff 3-1 on Monday.Enzo Millot scored twice and Silas Katompa Mvumpa grabbed another to cancel Sonny Kittel’s opening goal and seal a 6-1 win on aggregate for the first-division team.It’s Hamburg’s second straight failure to clinch promotion in the playoff against the team that finished third from bottom in the Bundesliga and it condemns the former league heavyweight to a sixth season in the second division since its demotion in 2018.Hamburg, which lost 3-0 in the first leg, needed a good start to keep the raucous supporters’ hopes alive and Kittel provided it in the sixth minute when he left fly with his right boot to send a brilliant shot in off the left post.Serhou Guirassy thought he’d equalized with his heel with Stuttgart’s first attack in the 17th minute, but the goal was ruled out through VAR as he’d originally come from an offside p...Loss of oxygen in cabin may have led to Virginia plane crash, expert says

FILE - A crew of workers supervised by the National Transportation Safety Board place flags among the wreckage of a private jet transporting Payne Stewart in a farm field near Mina, S.D., Oct. 26, 1999. Some aviation experts are citing pilot hypoxia as a leading theory for why an unresponsive business plane flew over the nation’s capital on Sunday, June 4, 2023, and caused the military to scramble fighter jets. One of the most well-known crashes involving hypoxia was the 1999 crash of a Learjet that lost cabin pressure and flew halfway across the country on autopilot before running out of gas and crashing in a South Dakota pasture, killing professional golfer Stewart and five others.

UNCASVILLE, Conn. (AP) — Connecticut wasn’t supposed to be this good.The Sun lost 2021 league MVP Jonquel Jones to New York and coach Curt Miller to Los Angeles in the offseason, yet they are 6-1 and leading the Eastern Conference. Next up, two games this week against the defending champs and current Western Conference leading Las Vegas Aces (6-0).The games on Tuesday and Thursday at the Mohegan Sun Arena will be the first between the teams since last year’s WNBA Finals.Las Vegas was expected to continue its dominance after adding two-time MVP Candace Parker to an already loaded roster. Connecticut’s hot start under new coach Stephanie White has been more surprising — though maybe not to her.“You know, this group has had one of the best records in the league for the last, I don’t even know how many years,” White said. “And yes, we lost a big piece, but we gained a lot of other pieces that complement our core group so well.
