BNC Sports Byron gives NASCAR another surprise winner at Homestead February 28, 2021 By MARK LONG AP Sports Writer HOMESTEAD, Fla. (AP) — William Byron gave NASCAR its third surprise winner in three weeks, this one not quite as stunning as the first two at Daytona International Speedway. Byron controlled most of the final two stages at Homestead-Miami Speedway on Sunday and won for the second time in 111 Cup starts. His first one came at Daytona last August and landed him one of the final spots in the playoffs. No one saw that one coming. And few had this one on the radar, either. Byron entered the weekend as a 28-1 shot […]Read more... Morikawa plays a steady hand to win Workday Championship February 28, 2021 By DOUG FERGUSON AP Golf Writer BRADENTON, Fla. (AP) — The plan was for PGA champion Collin Morikawa to wear a red shirt with his black pants Sunday to show support for Tiger Woods as he recovers from career-threatening leg injuries from a car crash. The clothes shipped to him never arrived, so Morikawa did the next best thing at the Workday Championship. He played like him. Staked to a two-shot lead, Morikawa shook off an early mistake, regained control around the turn, delivered two clutch putts and then played a steady hand on a Concession Golf Club course known […]Read more... Antetokounmpo, Bucks rally late to to beat Clippers 105-100 February 28, 2021 By STEVE MEGARGEE AP Sports Writer MILWAUKEE (AP) — Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks showed they can still rally in the fourth quarter to win games with their defense. Antetokounmpo scored 36 points and sparked a game-closing 9-0 run as the Bucks rallied to beat the Los Angeles Clippers 105-100 on Sunday for their fifth consecutive victory. Milwaukee led the NBA in defensive efficiency while posting the league’s best regular-season record each of the last two years. The Bucks generally haven’t performed quite as well on defense this season but stifled the Clippers down the stretch. The Bucks held […]Read more... NASCAR’s ‘unique’ winners already altering playoff landscape February 27, 2021 By MARK LONG AP Sports Writer HOMESTEAD, Fla. (AP) — NASCAR’s postseason landscape has been altered after just two Cup Series races. With Michael McDowell and Christopher Bell winning at Daytona International Speedway, the first in the Daytona 500 and the second on the road course, two playoff spots were locked up by guys who weren’t generally considered locks. The fallout? Other teams are feeling the pinch in late February – six months before the 16-driver playoff field is set – and with 24 races remaining. “Probably not for the teams that we all expect to win, but for some […]Read more... LeBron James rejects Zlatan’s criticism of activist athletes February 27, 2021 By GREG BEACHAM AP Sports Writer LOS ANGELES (AP) — LeBron James responded to Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s criticism of his political activism with a promise that he will never just shut up and dribble. The Los Angeles Lakers superstar also pointed out that Ibrahimovic clearly didn’t feel the same way about spotlighting social injustices when the soccer great called out racism in his native Sweden just three years ago. The AC Milan striker and former LA Galaxy star criticized James and other socially conscious athletes Thursday in an interview with Discovery Plus. Ibrahimovic called it “a mistake” for James and other […]Read more... Renee Montgomery breaks barriers, becomes part-owner of the Atlanta Dream February 26, 2021 Former WNBA player and social justice activist Renee Montgomery has gone from a player to part-owner of the Atlanta Dream. As one-third of an ownership group that purchased the team, she is now the first former league player to have an ownership stake in a WNBA team, according to TMZ Sports. In summer 2020, members of the WNBA advocated for social justice reform by wearing the names of violence victims on their jerseys. That same season, Montgomery opted out, citing the need to do work in the Black community. After much thought, I’ve decided to opt out of the 2020 […]Read more... Inside BNC.
