Celtics Back In Nba Finals For 2nd Time In 3 Years

ALLEN PARK, Mich. — The Detroit Lions are bringing back Teddy Bridgewater to give the team a veteran backup quarterback for their playoff run. Coach Dan Campbell said Thursday that the team signed Bridgewater as another backup with second-year player Hendon Hooker behind starter Jared Goff. The Lions have clinched a playoff spot and can earn the top seed in the NFC with two more wins. Bridgewater was the backup in Detroit for the 2023 season when he got on the field for three snaps at the end of a blowout win over Carolina. Bridgewater spent the fall coaching at his high school alma mater, leading Miami Northwestern High to the Florida Class 3A state title.

But, it’s hard to say the Avs have looked like a team that expects to win 16 playoff games in the spring very often this season, even during the recent run.

By EDDIE PELLS DENVER (AP) — The U. S. Center for SafeSport abruptly fired one of its investigators last month after learning he’d been arrested for stealing money confiscated after a drug bust he was part of during his previous job as a police officer. Jason Krasley left his job with the Allentown Police Department in Pennsylvania in 2021 and was hired by the Denver-based SafeSport center to look into sensitive cases involving sex abuse and harassment. Among Krasley’s cases was one with Sean McDowell, who had filed a report to the center accusing a member of his Seattle-based recreational rugby club of stalking and harassment.

On a Nuggets road trip packed with memorable moments and sequences, one that won’t be remembered is the start of the fourth quarter in Portland. Trailing 104-87 as Nikola Jokic went to the bench, Denver’s second unit suddenly supplied its best stint of the season — a 16-2 run fueled by reinvigorated defense and steady rebounding. The result rendered it void.
