By MICHAEL MAROT INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — The gasp inside Gainbridge Fieldhouse was followed quickly by a hush Sunday night. Just seven minutes into Game 7 of the NBA Finals, the Indiana Pacers’ roaring fans went silent, struggling to fathom what they were watching — a replay of two-time All-Star Tyrese Haliburton hurting his lower right leg and the anguished look on the face of his father, John. They didn’t wait to hear the diagnosis; they already figured they had it. “I saw (his Achilles tendon) pop immediately, you could see it kind of explode,” said 37-year-old Nick Poore, a lifelong…

If the Bruins had won either of the top two slots in the lottery, we’d be able to narrow down their choice pretty easily. The top two picks are locked in, at least according to most draftniks and mock drafters. Defenseman Matthew Schaefer and center Michael Misa are slated to go 1-2. But after that, it’s a free-for-all. Opinions differ wildly about where certain players will go between No. 3 and No. 10. The B’s, who got bumped down two slots from their fifth-worst finish to have the No. 7 overall pick, should get a decent prospect in that spot…
Craig Breslow is just getting started. That’s what many MLB insiders think about the Red Sox chief baseball officer, following Boston’s stunning trade of All-Star designated hitter Rafael Devers to the San Francisco Giants. Among the holes in the Red Sox roster is first base, with Tristan Casas sidelined for the rest of the season by a knee injury. Romy Gonzalez and Abraham Toro have been holding things down at first, but if Breslow wants a more permanent solution, there’s an obvious target ahead of the July 31 trade deadline. “What the general public never factors into their knee-jerk trade…
D. Ross Cameron-Imagn Images This was a really crappy loss in a number of ways. An absolute game of back and forth undone by sheer frustration on multiple ends. What went wrong in this one? Play 1: Abraham Toro called out by home plate umpire Mike Muchlinski in the top of the 4th for “being out of the baseline”. Toro came steaming home on a double by Ceddanne Rafaela, established his line to the plate, jumped OVER Patrick Bailey without being tagged, but was called out because of umpire’s discretion. Frustrating, but early on enough to shake it off. Shake…
This is an excerpt from the book “Blood & Hate: The Untold Story of Marvin Hagler’s Battle for Glory” by Dave Wedge, a former Herald reporter. The book, about Brockton’s “Marvelous” Marvin Hagler, has just been released. As Marvin, Goody, Pat, and Robbie Sims hugged in celebration in the center of the Wembley ring, a riot crashed around them. “It was only the third round,” said Boston Globe reporter Leigh Montville, who covered the fight and sat next to Herald writer George Kimball. “All these skinhead guys, they still had eighteen beers left and they just started throwing them. The shit was just coming out of the sky. Fights…

Last season Red Sox veteran Rob Refsnyder said he may retire after the season, which some people, including manager Alex Cora, didn’t believe. Now, this season, it’s a good thing Refsnyder decided to continue his baseball career. The veteran has been helpful to the Red Sox lineup, coming in whenever he is needed by Cora. He hits well against left-handed pitchers and has been big for Boston off the bench. Despite going through some struggles throughout the season, Refsnyder is batting .301 and has a .388 OBP through 33 games. When asked why he didn’t retire by Baseball Isn’t Boring’s…
The path back to the pinnacle was littered with obstacles. There were challenges along its route. However, St. John’s Prep entered the season as the Boston Herald’s top-ranked lacrosse program for a reason, and the Eagles validated things in dramatic fashion. Michigan commit Luke Kelly sniped the game-clinching tally in overtime June 14, as St. John’s Prep knocked off its primary rival in BC High to claim its fifth consecutive Div. 1 boys lacrosse championship (an 8-7 victory). Do we see a reform in the MIAA’s power rankings following St. John’s Prep’s journey? For much of the year, the school…
