IRVING, Texas – There’s something to be said for scraping it around. If one didn’t have access to a leaderboard, the comments coming from the top two players at the AT&T Byron Nelson panted a dire picture. “Very stressful round of golf to play because I just don't have confidence over the ball right now,” seethed Jordan Spieth, utterly uninterested in looking at the silver lining. “I hit the ball terrible,” Brooks Koepka burned.

TORONTO — Bismack Biyombo wagged his finger at the Cleveland Cavaliers. And he got one back from at least one Cavalier, a figurative single-digit salute in honor of how miserable he had made their evening Saturday night at Air Canada Centre. Near the end of the Toronto Raptors' resilient and necessary 99-84 victory in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference finals, Biyombo batted a rebound to a teammate to cap a memorable night for both the Raptors and himself.
