Good morning! A lot happens in sports, even when you’re busy doing other non-sports-y stuff. So here are the top headlines and moments from yesterday, in case you missed anything while you were watching The Flash.

NBA Playoffs: Warriors’ comeback win, Lowry forces OT but Raptors lose

The Warriors continue to find ways to win without Stephen Curry, this time overcoming an 11-point fourth-quarter deficit to beat the Blazers, 110-99, and take a 2-0 series lead.

Lowry in particular has been struggling mightily and finished the game with seven points on 3-of-13 shooting. After the game, Lowry spent time alone working on his jumper. He didn’t even have a trainer on-hand to rebound for him:

The Lightning also took a 2-1 series lead over the Islanders with a 5-4 win in overtime, with Brian Boyle putting in the game-winning goal at the 2:48-mark of the extra period:
