Fifteen seconds. That’s how long, in real time, it took for Hugo Gonzalez to step onto the court at the Barclays Center and hit the biggest shot of his young NBA career. Gonzalez’s game-tying overtime 3-pointer, which forced a second OT in Boston’s 130-126 win over the Nets on Friday night, was the result of a last-second audible by head coach Joe Mazzulla. Down by three with 2.5 seconds remaining, the Celtics initially sent out a lineup of Payton Pritchard, Baylor Scheierman, Jaylen Brown, Sam Hauser and rookie center Amari Williams. But as Scheierman prepared to inbound the ball in…

Two years ago Kutter Crawford emerged as one of Boston’s most reliable starters. After bouncing back and forth between the rotation and bullpen throughout his first two seasons, the right-hander established himself as a workhorse, making 33 starts while throwing a career-high 183.2 innings. But that production came at a cost. Crawford spent nearly the entire season pitching through a knee injury, which lingered throughout the following offseason and into spring training. Crawford went on to miss the whole year, first due to the knee issue and then due to a freak wrist injury suffered in an accident at home.…

COHASSET – With the pressure at its highest on Friday evening, Randolph’s boys basketball team showed its grit. Seniors Chance Miller (20 points) and Daren Nash (17 points, seven assists, four steals) made heroic plays all night as the Blue Devils won an overtime thriller on the road against rival Cohasset, 76-69. “This one’s important,” said Randolph coach Demetrius Warren. “We just wanted to win one on a Friday. Hopefully, no school on Monday. But it felt good. That was a tough battle. Good team. Well organized, very structured. Love the facility here, but a good game. Just glad we…
BOXFORD – The calendar has yet to hit February, but the Masconomet boys basketball team is already tuning up for the postseason. Masconomet (9-1) routed Swampscott, 77-51, extending its home court winning streak over the last two seasons to 16. The lopsided score was a result of suffocating defense from the Chieftains, who never allowed Swampscott (10-2) to gain even an iota of rhythm on offense. “We take pride in the way we defend, especially in our house,” said Masconomet coach Jaycob Morales. “The kids understand that offense is never promised, but you can always control is how you carry…
Anthony Davis has been the subject of a lot of trade speculation over the past few weeks, with the Dallas Mavericks reportedly looking to move AD and continue to build around Cooper Flagg moving forward. Davis’s injury situation has apparently stifled his market, however. According to a new report from NBA insider Jake Fischer, even two of AD’s recent suitors, the Toronto Raptors and Atlanta Hawks, have drawn back their interest. “It’s a struggle, frankly, to find any active trade scenarios involving Davis at the minute,” Fischer wrote on Thursday (subscription required). “In recent days, both the Atlanta Hawks and…
To the extent that Craig Breslow was hired to turn around Red Sox pitching, you can’t say he that hasn’t done his job. In just two offseasons, Breslow has completely revamped the top of the Sox rotation by aggressively acquiring one of the game’s best pitchers in Garrett Crochet and two other recent all-stars in Sonny Gray and Ranger Suárez. Meanwhile, a number of depth moves combined with internal prospect development has given the Sox something I don’t think I’ve ever seen before in my lifetime as a Sox fan: a genuinely ridiculous amount of starting pitching depth.Baring any trades…
