Gardiner, Miller-Uibo in record-breaking runs By BRENT STUBBS Senior Sports Reporter bstubbs@tribunemedia.net BAHAMIAN quarter-mile twin towers Steven Gardiner and Shaunae Miller-Uibo highlighted the International Amateur Athletic Federation’s Shanghai Diamond League Meet by winning the men’s 400 and women’s 200 metres in record-breaking times respectively on Saturday. Gardiner, coming off his sensational world leading 43.87 seconds in Doha, Qatar, on May 4 at the first of the 12 Diamond League events before the two finals are held at the end of the year, pulled away for another fantastic performance as he took the men’s one-lap race in 43.99. In the process, the 22-year-old 6-foot, 2-inch Abaco native and

former Moore’s Island student erased the meet record of 44.02 that was set by American Jeremy Wariner in 2007 and tied by Grenada’s Kirani James in 2013. The 2017 IAAF World Championship silver medallist is running MILLER-UIBO both the 200 and 400m this year. Once again, Gardiner beat out a talented field that included Botswana’s triple Commonwealth Games gold medallist Isaac Makwala, who had to settle for second in a season’s best of 44.23 after he got third in the first meeting

of the three top performers in the world so far this year. Makwala switched places with Qatar’s Abdalelah Haroun, who was third in 44.51. Haroun, the World Championship bronze medallist, was second GARDINER in Qatar. “I saw the same strategy as the one in Doha, but I changed up a few things because some new guys were there,” Gardiner said. “I managed to carry out my strategy and race form the way I wanted it.” As for Miller-Uibo, she said anytime she and Gardiner hook

up to compete for the Bahamas, Miller-Uibo said one can expect some fireworks. “Stevie is an exceptional athlete and he has been performing extremely well so far this season,” she said. “I’m happy for him and excited to see what God is going to do for the both of us this year. When Bahamians are on the scene, that could only mean great things for our country.” Miller-Uibo, 24, made her 2018 IAAF Diamond League debut an impressive one as well as she ran away with the women’s 200m in 22.06 for her season’s best and a meet record, replacing the previous mark of 22.36 that was held since 2014 by Nigeria’s Blessing Okagbare-Ighoteguonor. The 6-1 Miller-Uibo, a native of Nassau and a graduate of St Augustine’s College, was just

short of posting the fastest time in the world as she trails OkagbareIghoteguonor, who clocked 22.04 in Abilene, Texas, on March 24. Miller, the 2016 Olympic bronze medallist, is coming off her triumph at the 2018 Commonwealth Games. “It was a great race and great start to the Diamond League season,” Miller-Uibo said. “I give God all the thanks and praise yet again for allowing me to be victorious and finish the race healthy.” Securing her third consecutive win at the meet in Shanghai, Miller-Uibo got the best of the much anticipated showdown against Netherland’s two-time world champion Dafne Schippers, who was second in her season’s best of 22.34, Jamaican

Reckley national bodybuilding champion By BRENT STUBBS Senior Sports Reporter bstubbs@tribunemedia.net

or the second consecutive year, Charles Reckley has emerged as the Bahamas Bodybuilding and Fitness Federation’s national bodybuilding champion. Reckley, competing in the men’s welterweight division, won the title on Saturday night at the Melia resort where the federation hosted a joint 2018 National Novice and Open Bodybuilding and Fitness Championships. Among the other winners were Lyndsey Curry as the women’s open figure champion, Raynor ‘The Black Viking’ Ferguson, the men’s open physique champion, Athena Bain, the women’s wellness champion, Tashara Seymour, the women’s open bikini champion and Japhier ‘Jackie’ Gardiner, the novice bikini champion. Moving up from the lightweight division, Reckley outperformed Reginald Delancy, Mario Sweeting and Giovanni Farrington to clinch the welterweight title. In the pose down, he won over lightweight champion Paul ‘Mighty Mouse’ Wilson and masters’ heavyweight champion 73-year-old Sydney ‘Butts’ Outten. “It feels great. Last year, I was in the lighter weight class, but this year I moved up,” he said. “Tonight, I feel really great because I was fighting against three great guys and I came out with the award again.” When the Central American and Caribbean Bodybuilding Championships takes place in Aruba

in August, the 31-year-old Reckley said it’s his goal to go there and become the latest Bahamian to earn his pro card. “It’s time to move on, so I’m going to push towards that,” he insisted. “The competition here was great. The guys came after me, but I wasn’t stopping. I fought it out and it paid off.” Curry, winner of the D class over Roberta Wheeler and the overall pose down winner over Tanya Forbes, the B class winner, said it was a well-deserved victory. “It’s been long road just to get here, so I had to do the best that I could,” Curry said. “This is not my first year, so to be right here holding the trophy is just special for me. I had a lot of fun. I enjoyed it.” Curry said she will be looking forward to

25-person committee (two representatives from each MVC member institution and a panel of five voters from the conference office). The voting panel determined a “Top-10” from a list of 25 finalists. Stuart, a 2009 graduate at SIU, earned two All-America honours and was a seven-time MVC champion in the jumps, including the only four-year sweep of the indoor long jump in conference history. At the 2009 MVC Indoor Championships, Stuart broke the meet record with her jump of 21-6.25, a record that still stands. She finished 16th in the long jump at the 2016 Omypics and 18th in the event at the 2012 games. Price was a two-time national champion in the hammer throw and a four-time All-American.

competing in the CAC Championships and making her presence felt there. Ferguson, the overall men’s fitness champion, said it was an amazing experience. “It just really shows that hard work and commitment really pays off,” he insisted. “It was really tough. I went against some really tough competitors, some ex-champions, so I was just humbled. I feel really liberated. It was just a great experience. I will be back next year to defend the title.” As the tallest competitor in the competition at 6-feet, 1-inch, Seymour strutted to victory in the open women’s bikini class. “I felt excited about it. It’s something that I’ve been working on for the past few months,” she said. “This morning (Saturday) during the pre-judging, I just gave it my all and I did the same thing tonight, so I’m very proud of my performance.”

Seymour said she felt the adrenaline rush once she stepped out on stage and saw her family and friends cheering for her. “It was good to have that support because I was a bit nervous at first,” she recalled. “But I was excited overall. I hope to be back next year.” Gardiner said she wasn’t going to let the first time jitters get to her. “I just went out there to do my best,” she stated. “It was a lot of fun competing. The overall competition was great. It was a great experience.” In winning her title, Bain said she was delighted that her hard work has finally come to fruition. “It was an enjoyable experience. This was my first time so I had a lot of fun,” she stressed. “It was a lot of waiting to go on stage, but you could feel the energy from the people in the back stage. Everyone was very encouraging and they wanted to see you do well. So that helped to get me ready.”

Cartwright and Pierre-Louis lose ITF final By BRENT STUBBS Senior Sports Reporter bstubbs@tribunemedia.net IT wasn’t the finish that Kerrie Cartwright and her American partner Kariann Pierre-Louis anticipated in the final of the women’s doubles at the International Tennis Federation’s $15,000 Tacarigua Women’s Tournament that was held in Trinidad & Tobago last week. Cartwright and PierreLouis, the number two seeds, lost 6-4, 6-3 to the top ranked team of Emily Appleton of Great Britain and Portillo Ramirez of Mexico. In the semi-final, Cartwright and Pierre-Louis won 6-2, 6-0 over the No.4 ranked team of Yolanda Leacock from Trinidad & Tobago and Alexandra Riley of the United States. They advanced to the final by eliminating the No.3 seeded team of Andrea Renee Villarreal of Mexico and Kristen-Andrea Weedon of Guatemala. Their scores were 4-6, 6-3, (10-8). “It was pretty tough. It was a good match overall,” Cartwright told The Tribune. “We had our chances in the first set to get the lead, but we lost it.” It was the second appearance in the final for Cartwright and PierreLouis for the year, but this time they didn’t match the success they achieved when they were crowned the champions. “I think we played really well. We’re a great team and so far we had some success,” she pointed out. “We went to three doubles finals since last year and so we hope we can keep

performing and hopefully we will get the title whenever we play in the final again.” During the tournament in Trinidad & Tobago, both Cartwright and PierreLouis lost in the second round in singles. Cartwright, the No.8 seed, got ousted by Csilla Fodor of Vietnam in a marathon three-setter 7-6 (4), 1-6, 7-5, while Pierre-Louis, the No.7 seed, went down 4-6, 6-1, 6-4 to fellow American Gail Brodsky. Pierre-Louis, the No.7 seed, went down 4-6, 6-1, 6-4. Cartwright said she will return for a couple days rest before she heads to Florida to play in back-to-back tournaments in Asprey and Maples. Hopefully she and PierreLouis will team up again to play in doubles. “I just hope to do my best as we learn from this experience and grow from it,” Cartwright projected. “Hopefully the next match I play, I can perform and play better.” During the trip to Trinidad, Cartwright said she got a surprise when a reporter from the Trinidad Express interviewed her and featured her in an article. “It was a shock to me when I saw it. The girl who did it knew me from the time I was travelling as a junior player,” Cartwright said. “When he saw me, he said he was happy to write about me. It was really crazy to see myself being featured in a newspaper in another country. I was so blessed that it happened.” Cartwright said she felt that had they won, she probably would have been highlighted again.

Ta Lou switched to the half-lap race after turning in a lifetime and world leading time of 10.85 in the century in Doha. “The race itself went great. It was very competitive, but also a lot of fun to compete with those ladies’ again,” Miller-Uibo said. “I enjoy competing in Shanghai. It was my third year there and my third victory so I’m happy for that.” The next event on the Diamond League is the Prefontaine Classic at the Hayward Field in Eugene, Oregon, May 25-26. Gardiner will have to move down to the 200m and Miller-Uibo will move up to the 400m. The Diamond League series closes out with the two finals at the Weltklasse in Zurich, Switzerland, on August 30 and the AG Memorial Van Damme in Brussels, Belgium, on August 31.

Robinson making immediate impact with Diamondbacks By RENALDO DORSETT Tribune Sports Reporter rdorsett@tribunemedia.net KRISTIAN Robinson continues to make an immediate impact with the Arizona Diamondbacks organisation. Robinson has been a bright spot for the Diamondbacks in extended spring training thus far and pundits have high expectations for his first assignment in the minor leagues this summer. The 6’3”, 200-pound outfielder was the Diamondbacks most lucrative international signing for the 2017 class. Following the conclusion of training camp in March, dozens of players who are not assigned to one of those teams are continuing with extended spring training for two and-a-half months as they await short season leagues to start up in mid-June. International players are also often assigned to “EST” to help them in their transition within the organisation and the professional level for the first time. “Robinson has one of the highest ceilings in the class if everything clicks, with a combination of size, power, speed and athleticism that immediately sticks out.

Robinson is one of the fastest and one of the most physical players in the 2017 class, a dynamic ROBINSON athlete with a strong, well-proportioned build (6-foot-3, 200 pounds) and plus-plus speed. “He drives the ball with authority right now with good bat speed and should grow into plus power. “Robinson has a direct righthanded swing and some teams did see him perform well prior to signing, though his lack of baseball experience shows at times, especially as he learns to recognise breaking balls and adapts to seeing high-end velocity on a more regular basis,” Ben Adler of Baseball America said. “Since Robinson is already so big at a young age, some scouts saw risk that he might end up in right field, but the D-backs will develop him as a centre fielder, and as long as he retains most of his speed and improves his footwork, he should be able to stay there. He’s in Arizona right now for extended spring training, though there’s a good chance he could open

in the Dominican Summer League.” Out of Maximum Development Academy, Robinson signed the most lucrative deal of any Bahamian player this international signing period when he reached an agreement near $2.55 million. He also played with the Midland Redskins and Florida Stealth during his recruitment process. Robinson was one of four Bahamians to sign during the current international signing period. Baseball America had Robinson ranked at No.9 among international prospects, while MLB Pipeline had him listed at No.15, the highest ranked of the group of Bahamians. Toward the end of last season in October, Robinson and the Diamondbacks had an opportunity to look ahead into the prospect of the future when he got an opportunity to hit in a major league ballpark. He was hosted to batting practice at Chase Field in Phoenix, Arizona as the Diamondbacks prepared to face the Kansas City Royals Cesar Geronimo, the Diamondbacks’ Latin American scouting director, said the next step for Robinson is to watch his progression toward the

JONES GETS OFFER FROM GEORGETOWN HOYAS By RENALDO DORSETT Tribune Sports Reporter rdorsett@tribunemedia.net THE offers continue to stockpile for Bahamian prep basketball star Kai Jones with the latest coming from a major programme in the Big East Conference. Kai Jones has received an offer from the Georgetown Hoyas, the latest in the growing list of programmes courting the junior forward on the rise during the early spring recruitment season on the AAU circuit. Jones impressed scouts last weekend at the Source Hoops invitational in Miami Springs, Florida, prompting the Georgetown offer. The 6’9” class of 2019 Jones has previously picked up a pair of offers from Virginia Commonwealth University and Florida Gulf Coast University following

his performance with on “Team Brakdown” at the Under Armour Association circuit in Dallas, Texas. Jones, JONES recently completed his junior season with Orlando Christian Prep Warriors in Orlando, Florida. The team finished the season at 21-9 and claimed the Class 3A boys basketball state championship. Jones moved to the US following a summer of career milestones, including his junior national team debut and an invitation to the Basketball Without Borders Americas Camp. “It was a great experience, with great competition, their level is really

high and it’s fun to play against some of the best players in the world. “I’ve just been trying to get better and learn everything I can and soak up every piece of information from these coaches,” Jones said during the camp. “The quickness really stands out. These guys are really fast and the speed of play is really fast but it’s easy to adjust to, once you play for the first five minutes you get used to it. When I rebound and I block shots I realise it’s not as tough as it looks because some of these guys are jumping out the gym.” As quickly as he adjusted to the pace and style of play at Basketball Without Borders, Jones has done the same in the US and has set the stage for a senior season that should garner even more NCAA Division I offers.

major leagues. “We are very excited to see this young talent here from the Bahamas,” he said. “It’s

been great to scout him, great to see him play. “We really think this kid here is going to be

something special. I only wish that in 4-5 years from now you guys can see him on television.”

THE TRIBUNE

Simpson completes a big win at The Players Championship By DOUG FERGUSON AP Golf Writer PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Florida (AP) — Webb Simpson navigated his way through a few mistakes but not too much stress to win The Players Championship on Sunday. Staked to a seven-shot lead, no one got closer than four shots of Simpson, even after a double bogey on the 18th hole when his only concern was finishing the hole at the TPC Sawgrass. He closed with a 1-over 73 for a four-shot victory, his biggest title since the 2012 U.S. Open at Olympic Club. Tiger Woods made another big run that revved up the crowd and revived hopes that he was close to winning. So did Jason Dufner, Jimmy Walker and Danny Lee. None could do enough to catch Simpson during record scoring at the final Players Championship in May. His only big mistake didn’t even matter. Simpson’s approach to the 18th bounded across the green and into the water. He closed with a double bogey, but that only made the final margin closer than what it really was. “Being in that position is a lot harder than I thought,” Simpson said. “It’s hard to stay motivated to continue to do what I’ve been doing. I had a good morning, and I was able to get it done.” Justin Thomas left the TPC Sawgrass as the No. 1 player in the

world. He closed with a 66 to tie for 11th, more than enough to end Dustin Johnson’s 15-month reign at the top of the ranking. Thomas is the 21st player to reach No. 1 since the ranking began in 1986, and the seventh American. “I’m very proud to have gotten there, but it means more to me how long I can hold it,” Thomas said in a text message. Jimmy Walker closed with a bogey-free 67 and tied for second with Charl Schwartzel and Xander Schauffele, who also shot 67s. Walker, who struggled all of last year with Lyme disease, had his best finish since he won the 2016 PGA Championship. Woods made the cut on the number — helped by Thomas and Jordan Spieth making bogey on the 18th hole Friday — got back to the first page of the leaderboard with a 65 on Saturday and ran off six birdies through 12 holes in the final round. He was tied for second at one point, still four shots behind, but that was as close he got. Woods made a soft bogey on the 14th hole when he missed the green with a sand wedge, and was well short of the island green in making double bogey on No. 17. He shot 69 and tied for 11th. “I hit the ball better today than I did yesterday, and I obviously didn’t end up with the score I needed to,” Woods said. The final edition of May was one for the record books. Simpson tied the course record with a 63 in the

(AP Photo/Lynne Sladky) second round when he seized control — even with a double bogey from the water on the 17th — and he tied Greg Norman’s 54-hole record from 1994 at 19-under 197. Simpson set a record for the largest margin through three rounds. Brooks Koepka became the eighth player with a 63 on Sunday, which featured an albatross 2 on the par-5 16th. And there 1,754 birdies for the week, breaking by 136 the record from 1996.

But this ultimately was all about Simpson, who had missed the cut in four of his previous eight appearances at the TPC Sawgrass and had gone 107 starts on the PGA Tour since his most recent victory in Las Vegas toward the end of 2013. He had struggled from the start of 2016, when golf’s ruling bodies outlawed the anchored stroke that Simpson used for his belly putter. He had gone to a longer handle that ran up the left side of his arm, and then Tim Clark gave him the missing link. It was at The Players a year ago when Clark suggested he also use a claw grip, and Simpson had been working his way back to golf he expects to play. “It’s pretty special that a year later, I got this victory,” he said. To win it on Mother’s Day nearly brought him to tears. Simpson lost his father in November, and it was the first time his mother was without him in North Carolina. Simpson said it has been hard on her, along with his siblings. “It’s been a tough few months for my mom, my brothers and sisters,” Simpson said as his voice began to crack. “This is a little beacon of light for my mom, to get this done on Mother’s Day.” Simpson won for the fifth time and moves to No. 20 in the world. The rest of the tournament would have been plenty exciting had Simpson decided to call in sick for work this week. At one point, Dufner made a birdie to break out of a 10-way tie for third place.

TIGER WOODS SHOOTS 65, HIS LOWEST SCORE EVER AT PLAYERS By MARK LONG AP Sports Writer PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Tiger Woods turned in his best round of the season and his lowest score ever at The Players Championship. It sky-rocketed him up the leaderboard, and he stayed there. Woods shot a 7-under 65 in the third round Saturday, besting his previous low score on the Stadium Course by a stroke. He honed in his iron shots, fine-tuned his putter and was so hot through 12 holes that it looked as if he might challenge the Stadium Course record at TPC Sawgrass. “I wish I could repeat it more often, but honestly it was just a better start,” Woods said. “I got off to a much better-quality start.” Woods took advantage of warm temperatures, soft greens and little wind by making birdies at three of the first four holes . He drained putts of 15, 5, 10 and 17 feet, regaining a scoring touch that eluded him last week at the Wells Fargo Championship and in the opening two rounds in Ponte Vedra Beach. “Eventually I was going to put all the pieces

together and today, for the most part, I did that,” he said. “I hit a lot of good, quality shots. I hit some shots in the correct spots, which was nice. I hit probably three of the best long irons I’ve hit all week.” Woods will be paired with Jordan Spieth for the final round Sunday and will start the day 11 shots behind Webb Simpson. No one has ever overcome such a deficit to win on the PGA Tour. Nonetheless, Woods likes how his game is coming together. He pointed to his tee shot at the 242-yard, par-3 eighth, which landed a little more than 30 feet from the hole; his second shot at the par-5 ninth, which stopped on the fringe from nearly 270 yards out; and his towering approach shot at the par-5 11th, which carried two bunkers and part of a pond before landing on the putting surface and leaving him a lengthy eagle putt. His only complaint was not keeping it rolling. He cooled off down the stretch, making five pars and a bogey over the final six holes. He pushed his drive into thick rough at the difficult par-4 14th and ended up with his lone bogey of the day. He had a chance to

TIGER Woods tees off on the 10th hole during the third round of the The Players Championship golf tournament Saturday, May 12, 2018, in Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla. (AP Photo/John Raoux) get it back two holes later, but lipped out a 10-footer following a stellar bunker shot. “To be 8-under there through 12, realistically I probably could have got a couple more out of it and got to 10 (under) for the day,” he said. “But I’ll take it.” He hit 11 of 14 fairways and 15 of 18 greens in regulation. But the biggest different was his putting. He needed just 27 putts, his fewest of the week. A day after making just one putt longer than 6 feet, he missed only one inside 13 feet in the third round. “It was nice. I made some putts today. That was

basically the difference,” he said. “I’ve hit quality irons before and I was able to convert today and got rolling early. This golf course, as humid as it is right now, these greens are going to be holding all day and I knew that going in and I knew I had to be a little bit more aggressive in there and put the ball in these sections, and I was able to do that.” Woods started the day tied for 68th, but moved into fifth after getting to 9 under at No. 12. His jump was the talk of the course, and the already huge gallery following his every

move really started growing at the turn. By the time Woods and playing partner Mackenzie Hughes got to 16, the frenzied crowd was dozens deep and craning for a glimpse of golf’s biggest star. Spieth matched Woods for the best score in the third round. They were at 8-under 208. Woods figured his stay near the top of the leaderboard would be a short one, but the wind picked up in the afternoon and no one matched the low score of the day. “It’s nice to kind of somewhat be up there,” he said.

HAMILTON WINS, ALONSO AGAIN FINDS WAY TO FINISH IN THE POINTS BARCELONA, Spain (AP) — It was another rough start for Fernando Alonso, and again another points-finish for the twotime world champion. Alonso needed to come from behind at the Spanish Grand Prix yesterday to earn a top 10 finish for the fifth straight time this season. Two weeks ago the Spaniard had to make his way back after a first-lap incident to finish seventh in Azerbaijan. Lewis Hamilton and Mercedes put in a dominant performance, winning with ease and showing Ferrari that Mercedes remains the team to beat in Formula One. Hamilton’s strong run helped Mercedes re-establish order at the top of the field after seeing Ferrari dominate most of the early season. “This is more like it,” Hamilton said on the team radio. “Let’s keep this up.” Valtteri Bottas secured a one-two for Mercedes at

the Circuit de BarcelonaCatalunya, while Max Verstappen completed the podium despite finishing the race with a broken front wing on his Red Bull. Ferrari’s Sebastian Vettel, who now trails Vettel by 17 points in the drivers’ standings, was only fourth after a change in strategy didn’t pay off. Alonso started eighth in Spain but was forced wide by countryman Carlos Sainz of Renault on Turn 2, falling back and seeing his hopes of keeping his point-scoring streak alive diminish. “We started on the supersoft tires so the plan was to gain some positions in the first couple of laps and then stop very early to change tires,” Alonso said. “Instead, we found ourselves losing several positions in the first lap, so at that point I thought it was impossible to get any points today. “But luckily we had a good race, we had a good strategy with a good call

able to pass,” Alonso said. “This is something we’re working on. We know where our car’s weaknesses lie and hopefully we’ll find a solution quite soon.” Alonso, who was fifth in the season-opener in Australia and finished seventh in the next three races, said he was hoping for some rain to improve his chances of finishing higher in his home race. The result dropped Alonso from sixth to

seventh in the drivers’ standings. This weekend marked the fifth anniversary of Alonso’s last F1 victory, which came in Barcelona with Ferrari. Sainz, the other local driver on the grid, followed his fifth-place finish in Azerbaijan with a seventh place on Sunday, moving to 10th overall. us,” Sainz said. “We have areas to work on, but we are making good progress. Let’s keep pushing.”

JUVENTUS WINS RECORDEXTENDING 7TH STRAIGHT SERIE A TITLE By DANIELLA MATAR Associated Press MILAN (AP) — Juventus won a record-extending seventh straight Serie A title yesterday after its 0-0 draw against 10-man Roma was enough to secure the trophy with a match to spare. Second-place Napoli won 2-0 at Sampdoria but Juventus got the point it needed at the Stadio Olimpico to win its 34th Serie A title. It has a four-point lead over Napoli with one round left. The result also completed a fourth successive league and cup double for Juventus, which had beaten AC Milan 4-0 in the Italian Cup in the same stadium on Wednesday. “I’m happy for the lads who have sealed the title, we have a week more of holiday,” said coach Massimiliano Allegri, who has won all four of those doubles in as many years at Juventus. “We have to congratulate Napoli, which kept pace with a great Juventus. It’s hard to see these four years being repeated. The end of the season has seen several twists. Juventus was six points clear a month ago but saw its advantage slashed to a solitary point in the space of a week which culminated in Napoli beating the Bianconeri 1-0. That left many — including Allegri — naming Maurizio Sarri’s side as favourite for the title. “The greatest merit of the (Juventus) team was that they were always able to keep their calm because in football things can change in a second,” Allegri added. “You need to take it one step at a time without getting overwhelmed by enthusiasm when things are going well and you need to never stop working in the difficult moments. You need to work well on a mental level because if you have too many surges and dips of mood, you’re not going to win.”

LEVANTE WINS 5-4 TO END BARCA’S BID FOR UNBEATEN LIGA SEASON By JOSEPH WILSON Associated Press BARCELONA, Spain (AP) — Without Lionel Messi to save the day, Barcelona bid farewell to its quest to make history in Spain. Barcelona lost 5-4 in a wild game at Levante yesterday, ruining the champion’s chance to become the first team to finish a Spanish league season without a defeat under its current format. Barcelona coach Ernesto Valverde left Messi— the competition’s leading scorer with 34 goals— out of his squad to rest ahead of a demanding summer for the Argentina forward at the World Cup. The real trouble for Barcelona, however, came in defence. Led by Emmanuel Boateng’s hat trick and two more goals from Enis Bardhi, Levante was heading toward a historic rout of the recently crowned champions when the hosts built a 5-1 advantage after 56 minutes. But Barcelona roared back, with Philippe Coutinho adding two more goals to his first-half strike to complete a hat trick before Luis Suarez converted a penalty to cut the deficit to 5-4 in the 71st. Suarez headed high from close range in Barcelona’s last chance to snatch the draw.

Celtics beat Cavs 108-83 to take Game 1 of East finals By JIMMY GOLEN AP Sports Writer BOSTON (AP) — Jaylen Brown had 23 points and eight rebounds, Marcus Morris added 21 points and 10 boards, and the Boston Celtics opened a 21-point, first-quarter lead and scorched the Cleveland Cavaliers 108-83 on Sunday in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference finals. Al Horford scored 20 points for the Celtics, who ran off 17 consecutive points in the first quarter and never allowed the Cavaliers within single digits again. Boston led by 28 when Cleveland coach Tyronn Lue pulled LeBron James for good with 7:09 left. Game 2 is Tuesday night. Kevin Love had 17 points and eight rebounds, and James finished with 15 points, nine assists and seven boards. The Cavaliers missed their first 14 3-point attempts of the game and shot just 32 percent in the first half. By that time, Boston led 61-35 — the biggest halftime playoff deficit in James’ career. With injured stars Gordon Hayward and Kyrie Irving on the bench in street clothes, the Celtics continued their stunning run this season with what may have been the most surprising turn of events yet. A year after dropping the first two games at home against Cleveland in a fivegame East final, the Celtics pounced on James, and the favored Cavaliers were never really in it. The Celtics took the floor to a hype video that began with the broadcast of Hayward’s injury in the first quarter of the first game, at Cleveland. A variety of commentators predicted the team’s demise, including Hall of Famer Charles Barkley saying: “Their season’s over.” As more players went down to injury, the prophesies grew even gloomier.

REDS EARN FIRST FOUR-GAME SWEEP OF DODGERS SINCE 1976 BY JILL PAINTER LOPEZ Associated Press

(AP Photo/Michael Dwyer) But there the Celtics were, back in the Eastern Conference finals against the Cavaliers for the second year in a row — with Hayward, Irving, Daniel Theis and Shane Larkin all injured and coach Brad Stevens down to an eight-man rotation. It was more than they needed. Morris, starting in place of Aron Baynes, backed up his boast that he could cover James better than anyone except Kawhi Leonard and helped

pester James into seven of Cleveland’s nine turnovers. (James had eight in the entire four-game, second-round sweep of the Raptors.) Horford made his first seven shots of the game and scored 10, including eight straight, during the 17-0 run that turned a three-point deficit into a 21-7 lead. After James wiggled his way to a layup — Cleveland’s first points in 4 minutes, 43 seconds — Boston ran off eight more points in a row; Brown had

six of them, and he finished the quarter with 13 points and five rebounds. Cleveland scored seven straight points early in the third and finished the quarter with six in a row to make it 78-64. But Boston made the first three baskets in the fourth and, after running off nine in a row to make it 96-68 with 7:09 left, the Cavs conceded. TIP-INS Cavaliers: Kyle Korver’s 3-pointer with nine minutes left in the third period was their first after

missing 14 in a row. It cut the deficit from 28 points to 65-40. ... Tristan Thompson had eight points and 11 rebounds. Celtics: The Celtics improved to 8-0 at home this postseason. They do not have to win on the road to reach the NBA Finals. ... Boston’s 36-18 lead at the end of one quarter was the second-largest in a playoff game in franchise history. UP NEXT Game 2: Tuesday night in Boston.

TOP-SEED HOUSTON HOSTS GOLDEN STATE TO START WEST FINALS By KRISTIE RIEKEN AP Sports Writer HOUSTON (AP) — The Golden State Warriors are in the unfamiliar position of opening on the road as they prepare for Game 1 of the Western Conference finals with the top-seeded Rockets in Houston tonight in the series that many have been waiting for all season. It’s the first time the No. 2 Warriors have been in a playoff series without home-court advantage since 2014 when they lost to the Los Angeles Clippers 4-3 in the opening round. For a team that has matched the Chicago Bulls’ NBA record with 15 straight home playoff victories, the feeling is a bit unsettling. “It’s different,” coach Steve Kerr said. “I think our guys, they are taking the challenge and they’re embracing it. They feel like, ‘OK, we don’t have home court for the first time,’ but we seem to be at our best when we are threatened. That’s been kind of the M.O. of this team. “We’re definitely threatened. We’re on the road for Game 1, we’ve never felt that.” The Rockets, who earned the top seed for the first time in franchise history by winning 65 games in the regular season, are certainly happy to be opening at home, but aren’t sure if it’s that much of an advantage in this series. “It’s better to have it than not ... it’s important but they’ve shown they can win away from home, we can win away from home,” coach Mike D’Antoni said. “This might be a series where you lose one or two and then win four in a row — either side. Because they’re capable of it.” This will be the third playoff meeting between these two teams in the past four years, with the Warriors winning both previous meetings. They downed the Rockets 4-1 in 2015 in Houston’s previous trip to the conference finals and ousted the team from the playoffs in the first round in 2016.

Houston is 50-5 this season in games where all three have played, and during the regular season the Rockets outscored their opponents in those games by an average of 11.5 points. D’Antoni believes the 6-foot-10 Capela’s ability to switch on guards as well as defend in the paint will be a key in this series. “It’s a must that you have to have (someone like him) against Golden State or they’re going to get you,” he said. “This will help. They’re still going to get us to a certain degree, but hopefully we can lessen it more than if we just had a traditional centre that can’t guard on the perimeter.” HOUSTON Rockets head coach Mike D’Antoni reacts to a call during the third quarter of a game against the Boston Celtics in Boston on December 28, 2017. At right, in a March 14, 2018, file photo, Golden State Warriors coach Steve Kerr during the second half of the team’s NBA basketball game against the Los Angeles Lakers in Oakland, Calif. The series that everyone in the NBA apparently wanted to see is about to happen. (AP Photo) The defending champion Warriors are looking to reach the NBA Finals for the fourth straight year. For the Rockets, a win in this series would put them in the Finals for the first since 1995 when they won the second of their back-toback titles. D’Antoni was asked if he thinks the Warriors have seen a team as talented and dangerous as the Rockets are this season. “I hope not,” he said. “We did win 65. They’re the ones always winning and getting home-court advantage so hopefully we gained a little ground.” However, he knows that his team is the perceived underdog in this series despite nabbing the top seed because of what the Warriors have done over the past few years. “These guys are champions for a reason and they’ve shown on the big stage that they can perform at a very, very, very high level — as good as anybody ever,” he said. “And we haven’t shown that yet and that’s the doubt in most people’s minds, until you show it they don’t know ... so we’ve just got to beat them and show them we can do it.”

• Some things to know about the Warriors-Rockets series: CURRY FACTOR Stephen Curry certainly feels back to his spot-on self with the swagger that goes with those dazzling drives and way-back 3-pointers. Curry returned from nearly six months sidelined with a sprained left knee to play the final four games of a five-game semi-final series against New Orleans. The two-time MVP scored 28 points on 10-for-16 shooting in his most minutes yet since the March 23 injury — 37 — in the Game 5 clincher last Tuesday night. His minutes have increased each game he plays and he was 32 for 67 with 15 3s in the Pelicans series. HOUSTON’S X-FACTOR While the spotlight for Houston in this series is certainly MVP front-runner James Harden and fellow point guard Chris Paul, the Rockets insist that centre Clint Capela is just as important to their success. “Everybody always wants to point out me and James, but he’s the X-factor,” Paul said.

THE CHAMPS ARE THE CHAMPS Sure, the Warriors might not be the top dogs in the West from the regular season. They still have the hardware. Paul has never reached a conference final and neither James Harden nor D’Antoni has a championship either. Kevin Durant captured his first title last season while winning Finals MVP honours. Golden State’s other three All-Stars — Curry, Draymond Green and Klay Thompson — has a pair of championships from the past three seasons. “I like where we are,” Kerr said. “Our guys have rings. That’s a good position to be in. To me the hardest championship is the first one, as an individual player or as a team because you don’t know. You don’t quite know if you can do it. “Once you get the first one, there’s a little bit of house money, but you want it again because it’s an unbelievable feeling. I like our position. We’re going to go in here knowing we’re the defending champs, knowing we’ve got a couple championships here the last few years. Let’s go get another one.”

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Eugenio Suarez and Joey Votto homered, and the last-place Cincinnati Reds beat Los Angeles 5-3 last night for their first fourgame sweep of the Dodgers since the Big Red Machine accomplished the feat in August 1976. Luis Castillo (3-4) allowed three runs — two earned — and four hits in six innings with eight strikeouts and no walks. Making his first appearance against Los Angeles, Castillo faced 20 batters, just two over the minimum. The defending NL champion Dodgers finished a 1-5 homestand and have lost seven of eight. At 16-23 they are fourth in the NL West, just one game ahead of San Diego. Cincinnati has won six straight games following an 8-27 start yet remains last in the NL Central. Three relievers finished the four-hitter. Raisel Iglesias got three straight outs for his seventh save in eight chances. Rich Hill (1-2) gave up three runs — two earned — six hits and four walks over 5 2/3 innings and 98 pitches. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts and a trainer went to the mound with two outs in the sixth and looked at the left middle finger of Hill, who had a blister on the finger that caused him to go on the disabled list from April 7-16 and from April 17 to May 16. Suarez hit a two-run homer in the third, and Yasiel Puig cut the lead in half in the bottom half with his first home run since Game 5 of last year’s World Series. Alex Blandino’s sacrifice bunt drove in a run in the fourth, and Votto hit a tworun homer for a 5-1 lead in the sixth. Yasmani Grandal hit a solo homer in the seventh and Cody Bellinger followed with a single that chased Castillo Bellinger started, a day after ignoring a take sign and attempting a bunt with a 3-0 count in the ninth inning of a 5-3 defeat. Bellinger was benched a couple of weeks ago for not hustling. “To his credit, he came in last night and took accountability for it,” Roberts said. “So for me, as a young player, that’s the biggest win. To not make an excuse and own it and move on.” ANIMAL MATTERS A raccoon was found by a member of the cleaning crew in the visitor’s bullpen. Animal Control was called and by about 2½ hours before game time, an employee trapped the raccoon in a cage and took the critter away. Many of the Reds players hadn’t arrived on their team bus from Pasadena while the raccoon wrapped himself around a bar in the bullpen. TRAINER’S ROOM Reds: INF Scooter Gennett (shoulder) was given the day off. Dodgers: INF Justin Turner (broken left wrist) was the DH for Class A Rancho Cucamonga and went 0 for 3. Turner could make his Dodgers season debut Tuesday at Miami.

Zverev beats Thiem to win Madrid Open KVITOVA OUTLASTS MADRID (AP) — Second-seeded Alexander Zverev eased past fifthseeded Dominic Thiem 6-4, 6-4 to win the Madrid Open yesterday, claiming his second title in a week. The German broke Thiem’s opening service games in each set and didn’t give his Austrian rival a single break chance to win in 1 hour, 19 minutes. Zverev won his eighth career title and second of the season after also winning the Munich Open last weekend. “It is unbelievable,” Zverev said. “This is my third Masters 1000 and I am only 21 years old. It has been an amazing journey.” Zverev dominated the entire week in the Spanish capital, not losing a single set en route to victory. Thiem lost his second consecutive final at the Caja Magica. He avenged last year’s final loss to Rafael Nadal by beating him in Friday’s quarter-finals for the

(AP Photo/Francisco Seco) Spaniard’s first clay-court loss in a year. Zverev started strongly when Thiem conceded his first service game with a costly double fault.

Serving to close out the first set, Zverev trailed 0-30 but used his big serve to force deuce and finally closed out the point when Thiem’s

return sailed long. Zverev started the second set in similar fashion, hitting a deep forehand that Thiem could only send into the net on the final point of

his service game to fall behind a break. It was Zverev’s second win in six meetings with the fifth-seeded Thiem, of Austria.

MADRID (AP) — When Petra Kvitova thought she couldn’t go on, the Czech hit the critical shots to finally edge Kiki Bertens and claim a record third Madrid Open title on Saturday. Kvitova outlasted Bertens 7-6 (6), 4-6, 6-3 in a gruelling final decided when the unseeded Dutch player hit a backhand long on the final point after nearly three hours. Kvitova previously won on the Madrid clay in 2011 and 2015. This third win took the Czech’s career total to 24 titles, including four in the first five months of 2018. She and Bertens achieved three breaks each while saving many more chances. The key moment came when Bertens appeared to have swung the momentum in her favour by pulling back a break in the third set, only for Kvitova to strike right back and recover the advantage for a 5-3 lead. She served out for the championship. Bertens’ appearance in the final meant she will rise to a career-high 15th in the rankings. But that was little solace after having come so close to the title.
