As we learned during Game 5 of the NBA Finals, Kevin Durant did not miss a month of playoff action with a calf injury. He had an Achilles injury, and the fact that he tried to play through it with his team facing elimination tells us everything we need to know about a man his GM called "misunderstood" in a post-game press conference.

The Toronto Raptors had the two-time defending world champions on the ropes, their home arena rocking. They were up six with 3:28 to play when coach Nick Nurse called a puzzling timeout, Klay Thompson and Steph Curry came back with monster 3-pointers, and the Raptors coughed up a golden chance to bring Canada its first NBA title.

Zdeno Chara returned to the ice less than three days after suffering a broken jaw.

Boston’s TD Garden was rocking, the Bruins came out flying in the first period. But Boston came up empty. The Blues diffused that inspirational moment, scored first in the second period, and won Game 5 to take a 3-2 series lead in the Stanley Cup Final.

The plan for the Golden State Warriors in Game 3 of the NBA Finals was clear to see: Punt. Maybe try to steal one. But get healthier, turn this thing into a best-of-three series, and go win a third-consecutive title. 

They opted to hold Klay Thompson (hamstring) and Kevin Durant (calf) back until Friday's Game 4, and it was the right call.

Zdeno Chara of the Bruins' most important players, reportedly has a broken jaw after taking a deflected puck to the face. He's been ruled out for Game 5, but not the series. 

The Bruins appear to be toeing the line between toughness and stupidity. But they're not. They'll have to try and finish this Stanley Cup run without their Ironman defenseman.

The first NBA Finals game played outside the U.S. was anything but ordinary on Thursday night. No, Canada did not disappoint.

St. Louis has committed 10 penalties for 20 minutes through the first two games of the Stanley Cup Final. Boston has been nabbed four times for 10 minutes, including a double-minor. 

The notion that NHL officials swallow their whistles in the playoffs - it's a myth.

The Golden State Warriors have gone 5-0 without Kevin Durant, the two-time NBA Finals MVP, proving what we've sort of known all along — that the Warriors are obviously better with Durant in the lineup but can still be title contenders with Steph Curry, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green running the show.

If Boston ends up winning three more games for the Stanley Cup, look no further than defenseman Torey Krug's helmet-less, soaring, punishing hit on Blues centerman Robert Thomas during Monday night's third period.

The Raptors won in Milwaukee on Thursday night, 105-99, to take a 3-2 series lead in the Eastern Finals. That's means it's all over. The Bucks can't extend this thing to seven games — not with Drake roaming the sidelines back in Toronto for Game 6. The Raptors' global ambassador and super fan is clearly in the Bucks' heads.
