NEW YORK — Hugo Gonzalez didn’t believe his defensive performance Friday night was one worth praising. After all, Knicks star Jalen Brunson, whom Gonzalez spent much of the game guarding, poured in a game-high 31 points as New York defeated the Celtics 105-95 at Madison Square Garden. “Well, I would say that Jalen Brunson dropped 30 points today,” Boston’s first-round draft pick said postgame, “so it’s not the day to say that I’m a great defender, I would say honestly.” Two of Gonzalez’s veteran teammates, however, had no such reservations.

The Boston Celtics lost their second straight game to start the season on Friday night, falling 105-95 to the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden.

The 19-year-old guard from Spain logged 22 minutes in his first career game, finishing with six points…
It feels like it’s been a month since I last saw a baseball game. But a baseball game we finally have tonight! It’s Game 1 of the World Series. And guess what? You can still go see it in person if you want:So, yeah, $6,000 is obviously a lot of money. But what if you invited like 20 friends and split the cost and had a fun-as-hell World Series party in there? $300 is still a lot of money, but I’ve certainly spent $300 in one night on things that were significantly less cool than watching the World Series out…

Masco knocked off Marblehead, 45-42, at Walt Roberts Field to capture its first NEC crown in program history, accomplishing the feat in dramatic fashion by overcoming a 22-point first half deficit. “I was so proud of our fight,” said Masco coach Patrick Sheehan, who has brought new life to the program over the past two seasons. “There were multiple times it looked like this game was out of reach, but our kids never stopped fighting.” In a test of resilience and heart, Masco took an inch-by-inch approach.…

After struggling to start the game, the Crusaders became a completely different team after halftime, scoring six of their eight touchdowns in the second half. “We have a lot of talented kids, sometimes we need to be a little more focused and lock in a little better at times,” Bishop Fenwick David Woods said. “But we have the ability to be a really good team. We’re almost there.” Cathedral (5-2) took it to Fenwick (3-4) early, as senior running back Dj Desir took the…

The investigation was nationwide and spanned several years.7NEWS spoke with former federal prosecutor Evan Gotlob about the inner workings of how a case such as this comes together.
