In a game the Golden State Warriors absolutely needed to win, the team came through with a thrilling 126-125 Game 4 victory. The win ties their series with the Sacramento Kings at two games apiece as both teams head back to Sacramento for Game 5.
The big news prior to the Sunday’s matchup was the return of Warriors forward Draymond Green from his one-game suspension in Game 3. However, head coach Steve Kerr decided to roll with the momentum from the previous game and elected to have Green come off the bench in Game 4 instead.
Sacramento Kings guard De'Aaron Fox fractured the very tip of his left index finger in Game 4, but there's still hope he will try and play Game 5 against the Golden State Warriors on Wednesday, sources told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.
Fox would need to play with a protective covering on the finger. He will be listed as doubtful.
Not his shooting hand so I could see him trying to play. I wonder if it is an avulsion fracture where the tendon rips away from the bone and the bone tip goes with it.
Edit: I read the wrong hand. He'll probably not play.
I think Draymond, Wiggins, GP2, are going to be slapping at that hand when he tries to dribble with the left hand to knock the ball out of his hand. I guess the other major sports can't give a vague injury report like the NHL does. Otherwise they would have said upper body injury.

The Oakland Athletics fell behind early and were unable to mount a comeback against Jacob deGrom in a 5-2 loss to the Texas Rangers. Oakland has now lost two straight and are 4-18 for the season.
The game started roughly for Kyle Muller who pitched himself into and out of a jam in the first. The Rangers loaded the bases with one out with a walk to Marcus Semien, a single by Nathaniel Lowe and another free pass to Adolis Garcia. Muller came back and struck out Josh Jung for the second out and then got Jonah Heim to ground out to escape with no damage.
After almost having a perfect game pitched against them on Friday, the Dodgers responded by winning the next two games to take both the weekend’s and season series against the Chicago Cubs.
Sunday’s 7-3 win was fueled by the bats of Mookie Betts, Max Muncy and J.D. Martinez and arms of Clayton Kershaw, Justin Bruihl, Brusdar Graterol
Kershaw started the game with another runner in scoring position due to an error. Nico Hoerner hit a ground ball that Muncy misplayed and that put Hoerner at second. With one out, Cody Bellinger scored Hoerner and took second on a bad throw by James Outman.

STANFORD, Calif. – The California softball team dropped a 3-2 heartbreaker to No. 8 Stanford in game three of the Big Series on Sunday at Boyd & Jill Smith Family Stadium.
Tatum Anzaldo went 2-for-4 and Makena Smith recorded an RBI double for the Golden Bears (30-14-1, 7-10-1 Pac-12). Kyra Chan led the Cardinal (34-10, 10-8 Pac-12) with a 2-for-2 day.
SEATTLE – The 28th-ranked California men's tennis team lost 4-3 to 56th-ranked Washington on Sunday at Quillian Tennis Stadium, with Cal sophomore Derrick Chen falling to UW's Dzianis Zharyn to end the match and the regular season.
Cal heads to the Pac-12 Championship later this week with a 12-9 record (4-4 Pac-12). Washington is 12-10 (3-5).
In doubles, after a loss on court two, the Cal pair of Chen and Philip Hjorth won, 7-5, over Brett Pearson and Han-Chih Lin, on court three, leaving court one to decide matters. But the Bears' 88th-ranked Yuta Kikuchi and Carl Emil Overbeck lost to the 65th-ranked Zharyn and Cesar Bouchelaghem, 7-6(3), and the Huskies claimed the doubles point.
BERKELEY – The California lacrosse team had its two-game win streak stopped on Sunday with a 19-9 loss to Colorado in a Pac-12 contest at California Memorial Stadium.
The Golden Bears (5-11, 2-7 Pac-12) fell behind 6-1 early but scored three straight goals to close their deficit to two and stayed within striking distance for most of the first 30 minutes and halfway into the third period. But Colorado (8-7, 6-3) turned a 12-8 halftime advantage into a decisive lead when Charlie Rudy, the Pac-12's leader in goals and points scored, scored at 7:25 and 2:45 to go in the third quarter to start a 6-0 rally by the Buffaloes. Cal finally got on the board in the second half on Mya Wang's free position shot with 4:43 remaining in the game, but it was too little and too late.
Rudy finished with seven points on four goals and three assists.
BERKELEY – No. 23 Oregon put the way away late thanks to a four-run ninth inning on Sunday, winning by a final score of 9-3 at Stu Gordon Stadium to take the series.
Cal (18-18, 6-15 Pac-12) collected 11 hits and scored three runs but could not get the big hit it needed, going 2-for-12 on the day with runners on base. A highlight reel catch by Oregon's center fielder Colby Shade robbed Kade Kretzschmar of a potential three-run home run that would have made it 5-4 in the fourth inning.
STANFORD – The No. 9 California beach volleyball team split a pair of matches Saturday to close out the regular season. The Golden Bears (25-8) fell to No. 7 Grand Canyon (23-6) 4-1 before picking up their 25th win of the season with a sweep over Pacific (0-23).
No. 7 GCU 4, No. 9 Cal 1

BERKELEY – The No. 6 California women's water polo team got after it in a hard-fought Senior Day game against No. 2 Stanford on Saturday, battling to stay within striking distance before eventually falling 16-9.
Senior Cecily Turner's flashy hat trick in front of a raucous, packed home crowd at Spieker Aquatics Complex highlighted the day for the Golden Bears (17-8, 3-3) in their regular season finale. Fellow senior Isabel Williams went for nine saves and three steals, while junior Maryn Dempsey put away two nice goals of her own.
SEATTLE –The No. 7 California women's rowing team won three out of five races against No. 6 Washington but lost the Simpson Cup as the varsity eight dropped its dual by five seconds at the Montlake Cut in Seattle on Saturday morning. Cal was able to earn victories in the 2V8+, 3V8+ and 4V8+ matchups.
"The team raced hard today," Cal head coach Al Acosta said. "It's not easy to come up here and win a race, so it feels pretty good to get three. Obviously, the varsity four and the eight were disappointing with the result, but the energy and effort were definitely there. Next weekend [against Iowa and SMU] is critical for us, so the goal is to recover as fast as possible and keep moving forward."
SEATTLE – It was a day full of tight races but the No. 1 California men's rowing team maintained possession of the Schoch Cup with a narrow victory in the varsity eight matchup against No. 3 Washington at the Montlake Cut in Seattle on Saturday morning. All but one race was decided by three seconds or less throughout the day, with the Bears also taking the 2V8+, 3V8+ and freshmen 8+ races.
"It's always hard to come up here and win on their home course and I'm really happy with how our crews raced and represented themselves," Cal head coach Scott Frandsen said. "There's lots to learn and improve upon as we go forward but I'm happy that the freshmen were able to get the win and that the fourth varsity had a great race. The second varsity really put together a great patient and composed complete race. It took some great races from four of our five boats to come away with the win."

My company is doing layoffs today. I am worried.

I survived, apparently. My nemesis did not.
i like that today, in particular, your reaction to all of Cal sports was "fire everyone"
I'm trying to not celebrate the misfortune of people whom I don't know, but if it was your nemesis, sounds like I can spare my sympathy a little bit
That's good news.
Congrats! You win (maybe) and your nemesis lost.

The big news prior to the Sunday’s matchup was the return of Warriors forward Draymond Green from his one-game suspension in Game 3. However, head coach Steve Kerr decided to roll with the momentum from the previous game and elected to have Green come off the bench in Game 4 instead.
Sources: Kings' De'Aaron Fox has fractured finger, doubtful for Game 5
https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/36282075/kings-deaaron-fox-fractured-finger-doubtful-game-5
Sacramento Kings guard De'Aaron Fox fractured the very tip of his left index finger in Game 4, but there's still hope he will try and play Game 5 against the Golden State Warriors on Wednesday, sources told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.
Fox would need to play with a protective covering on the finger. He will be listed as doubtful.
Not his shooting hand so I could see him trying to play. I wonder if it is an avulsion fracture where the tendon rips away from the bone and the bone tip goes with it.
Edit: I read the wrong hand. He'll probably not play.
I think Draymond, Wiggins, GP2, are going to be slapping at that hand when he tries to dribble with the left hand to knock the ball out of his hand. I guess the other major sports can't give a vague injury report like the NHL does. Otherwise they would have said upper body injury.
HAG and I are both familiar w/ avulsion fractures because we both had them in our Achilles for the 2nd time on the same leg!
