Ask an NBA fan about Payton Pritchard, and chances are they’ll bring up the 2024 NBA Finals, when the Celtics guard buried halfcourt buzzer-beaters in Game 2 and Game 5 to help Boston dispatch the Dallas Mavericks and raise Banner 18. Those two heaves were undoubtedly Pritchard’s most famous shot clock beaters. But they certainly weren’t his last. Over the last two regular seasons since that Finals victory, Pritchard has scored a whopping 307 points on 132 made field goals in “late shot clock” situations, which the NBA defines as zero to four seconds on the 24-second timer. In 2025-26…

Jake Bennett, who had his start derailed by a day due to rain, continues his hot start to 2026. He now has 16 1/3 innings with just one run earned, and continued that with three innings of shutout ball. However, neither that or the okay relief work was enough to propel Worcester to a win in Nashville (Brewers AAA). The WooSox had seven base runners all afternoon and only got some runs on the board via some singles courtesy of two-thirds of their outfield, Nate Eaton and Kristian Campbell. Eaton had two knocks of his own, but the WooSox had…

A rivalry will be reborn in the 2026 Stanley Cup Playoffs when the Boston Bruins meet the Buffalo Sabres in a much-anticipated first-round series. The Sabres are making their first postseason appearance since 2010 when they lost to the B’s in Round 1. It’s been a long time coming for Buffalo. But the Sabres have been picking in the top 10 of the NHL Draft for more than a decade, and eventually they were going to break through. They did so in impressive fashion, too. The Sabres didn’t just limp into the playoffs. They won the Atlantic Division and were…

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — The New England Patriots were the surprise of the 2025 season, riding the consistency of quarterback Drake Maye and a stingy defense to a 14-3 record in the regular season and a run to the Super Bowl following back-to-back 4-13 finishes.It was all that coach Mike Vrabel could have asked for in his first season with the team, which established a new culture for a franchise used to playing deep into the postseason that had stumbled in the final seasons of Bill Belichick and one-year tenure of Jerod Mayo.The focus for Year 2 and the draft will be fortifying…
Editor’s Note: In the lead-up to the 2026 NFL Draft, Phil Perry is identifying the best fits for the Patriots at each position based on the traits that Mike Vrabel and Eliot Wolf value, as well as intel from coaches and scouts.We’ve already hit on offensive tackles, tight ends, edge defenders, wide receivers, defensive tackles, linebackers, safeties and running backs.
