The former back-to-back MVP was sidelined due to a quad injury, and it was Butler who led Golden State to a 104-96 victory over the Pelicans. Butler flirted with a triple-double with 24 points on 7-of-15 shooting, eight rebounds and 10 assists, while also knocking down 10 out of his 14 attempts from the charity stripe.

1+ min ago (583+ words) If not for the two, the Dolphins may not have been celebrating a victory at all. Achane's 134 yards rushing and the defense's three takeaways and pivotal stops down the stretch helped the Dolphins edge the Saints 21-17 after a lackluster showing from Tagovailoa and Miami's passing game. Outside of the opening possession that Achane capped with a 29-yard rushing touchdown, the Dolphins struggled to finish drives and settled for four field goals the rest of the way. Tagovailoa appeared unsettled and hesitant, completing just 52% of his passes with several bad misses " including an interception that he floated into double coverage " and was sacked four times. He finished with just 157 yards passing and threw his NFL-leading 14th interception, which matches his career high from 2023. "(Improvement) definitely starts with me," Tagovailoa said, "starts with my performance with how I distribute the ball, how I…...

Florida introduced Sumrall as its next head football coach Monday in Gainesville, and the 43-year-old opened his press conference with a playful jab at new LSU coach Lane Kiffin, a candidate once linked to the Gators before Florida pivoted to Sumrall amid what sources described as communication breakdowns with Kiffin. "Going through the process of making decisions on jobs this time of year " maybe not ideal coaching in the season," Sumrall said as he worked through a smile. "Lane Kiffin and I have been going through the same thing and we've talked a lot. We were both in agreement that I was the right man for this job. So, he co-signed on that."
