DUBS BOUNCE BACK
Defending champs knot up NBA Finals … The third-quarter Warriors did their thing again, as an 18-0 run to start the second half was critical in Golden State’s 109-104 victory over Toronto in Game 2 (though the Warriors needed a dagger Andre Iguodala 3 late to breathe easy). As the series heads back to the Bay Area, one thing is for certain: This series is a dandy. Read More
THINGS TO CARE ABOUT
MLB’s most dominant schools … Which college you’re from matters quite a bit in the NBA and NFL, but they’re usually overlooked in MLB. If you look at some of the talent that’s come from these schools, however, you can see how unfair that is — imagine a Long Beach State lineup anchored by Jason Giambi, Evan Longoria, and Troy Tulowitzki, for example. We built the best historical lineup possible from each NCAA school — and then ranked the best. Read More
The fight for suicide prevention … Solomon Thomas’ sister died by suicide almost a year ago. It has been a year of grief and grace for the 49ers defensive lineman, and he and his family have decided to cope by shining a light on the issues of mental health and suicide prevention. Read More
Return of the “Slash” QBs … The Saints’ Taysom Hill restarted the “Slash” quarterback trend, and the search for the next Hill is ongoing in the NFL.

WHAT’S ON TONIGHT?
Bruins at Blues (8 p.m. ET, NBC): The first Stanley Cup Final game in St. Louis since 1970 was a dud for the home team, as the Bruins scored early and often in a 7-2 win to take a 2-1 series lead on Saturday. But the Blues have been resilient all season — going from the worst record in the NHL in early January to the Cup Final — so expect a spirited Game 4 response.
Astros at Mariners (10 p.m. ET, ESPN): The Astros are still in a pretty good spot, despite injuries to Jose Altuve, George Springer and Carlos Correa. The Mariners are very much not, and it looks like their 13-2 start was an extreme fluke.
