Andrews has the unique situation of having a sister in the same industry. “For me, it’s walking into a space feeling like I need to show that I belong here, because I’m always afraid something is going to be yanked out from under me in an industry like this,” Andrews said. In those moments, Andrews reflects on how the difficulties she has in the day-to-day of her job are ones others would take in a heartbeat. She hasn’t yet figured out how to combat this feeling, but arming herself with information helps her in a space where it feels like “there is always something to prove.” Andrews made her debut as a sideline reporter for ESPN during the 2020 NBA Playoffs, becoming one of the youngest sideline reporters ever for a conference finals telecast. After matriculating through school, Andrews earned a fellowship with The New York Times in the sports department. But in terms of her career, it wasn’t a love of sports that got her where she is today. “The Associated Press ran in so many different newspapers around Oregon,” Andrews added. “For a lot of people in this industry, their ‘why’ or their purpose is sports. She loved sports and the purpose they served in her life as a means of health and wellness. Flash forward to today and Andrews is one of the most prominent figures in sports television. To me that was everything,” Andrews said.

On a night when Steph Curry was ordinary, Andrew Wiggins was extraordinary to lead the Warriors to the brink of the NBA championship.

The support system, everyone on this team, this organization, they support you and they want to see you do good, and they put you in a position to do good. "The bigger the challenge has been that we've thrown in front of him, the bigger he's responded," Green said. At the end of the day, no matter what it takes or whatever they need from me, I'm here to help them win." You kind of need to find the right place, the right teammates, that kind of stuff. Kevin Durant left for Brooklyn in free agency, and Klay Thompson wasn’t going to play in 2019-20 after sustaining a torn ACL in Game 6 of the 2019 Finals against Toronto. "Great people here that challenge you," Wiggins said. "I was out there being aggressive," the understated Wiggins said. When the stage gets big, they respond and play their best basketball, and that's what he's been doing." By comparison, Curry is averaging 30.6 points, 5.6 rebounds, 4.6 assists and 1.8 steals and is shooting 46.6% from the field and 41.7% on 3-pointers. “He's found such a crucial role on our team, and I think that empowers him," Warriors coach Steve Kerr said. Curry struggled in Game 5, just 16 points on 9-for-22 shooting, and he missed his nine 3-point attempts, the first time he didn’t make a 3 in 133 career playoff games. On a night when Curry was ordinary, Wiggins was extraordinary.

The 2022 NBA Draft is less than two weeks away now, which means it is time to start taking a look at who could end up where in Brett Siegel's 2022 NBA Mock ...

This is why it would be a waste for them to utilize their late first-round pick on another center, especially one that would be projected to go in the second-round. A very intriguing forward prospect, Patrick Baldwin Jr. has been projected to go anywhere from the lottery to early on in the second-round in the 2022 NBA Draft. Injury concerns are the only reason Baldwin is not considered a sure-thing lottery pick this year, but his potential is as good as anyone else’s in this draft class. Continuing to find ways to improve as a shooter will help Brown turn into a more complete prospect, but he is one of the more athletic wings in this draft class and possesses a near 7-foot wingspan. They traded for Grayson Allen in the offseason last year and it would not be surprising to see a similar move made here with this 24th overall selection, especially if the Bucks do not see value with who is still available at the top of their draft board. Here though in this mock draft, they end up with a really solid athletic wing that has the ability to play on both ends of the floor in Kendall Brown. Should he be available, Walker Kessler would be a nice pick for the Bucks simply because he is a lot like Lopez in regards to his defensive awareness and rebounding skills. Danny Green being out due to an ACL injury could force Philadelphia to look at wing options here, but Hardy is the best available talent still on the board here and he could wind up being one of the best talents from this draft class. With new ownership taking over and Tim Connelly recently being hired to be the Timberwolves’ president of basketball operations, Connelly is going to look to build a new identity for this franchise predicated around the play of Anthony Edwards and Karl-Anthony Towns. Finding a player that can come in and contribute right away is what the Hornets will be gunning for with their second pick here after the lottery and needing to find ways to improve defensively, Jeremy Sochan is certainly a talent that can really help fortify Charlotte’s bench. No player fits this mindset better than Shaedon Sharpe and him still being on the board here would be a miracle situation for the Thunder, as Sharpe is someone that the team really liked when they brought him in for a pre-draft workout recently. Mathurin has proven to be a high-level three-point shooting threat and out on the wing, he is very capable of putting the ball on the ground and creating scoring opportunities for himself. As of right now, it seems very reasonable to believe Paolo Banchero to be falling to them at third overall and this is the best case scenario for Houston since Banchero is a player that has been linked to them throughout the college basketball season.

This stat shows just how important it is that the Warriors win Game 5 of the NBA Finals.

Fortunately for the Warriors, they're well-versed in defying the numbers. As mentioned in the graphic, Boston is 7-0 following a loss in the playoffs this year and has won eight road playoff games this postseason, one behind the all-time record. According to NBA Communications, it is the 31st time that a Finals series has been tied at two games apiece and in the previous 30 instances, the team that wins Game 5 went on to win the series 73.3 percent of the time.

In the meantime, also watching a lot of different reactions in the crowd and on the bench and stuff like that, too. “But we’ll test it before the game as usual.” “But I think it’s more so just the balance of watching what worked and trying to understand those patterns so that you can repeat that for the next game. Some of the shots that he’s hitting are only shots that he can hit and have been highly contested,” Udoka said. He had a hell of a performance in Game 4, and we have to respond to that.” He can shoot the ball unbelievably,” Boston guard Jaylen Brown said on Sunday. “Even watching it, playing against it and even in the finals, I feel like he’s taking it up a notch a little bit.

Otto Porter Jr. started for a second straight game with Kevon Looney coming off the bench. “And then the fact that it’s 25 years ago just makes me feel old, of course.” Jayson Tatum had 27 points and 10 rebounds for the Celtics, who lost consecutive games for the first time in the postseason. Golden State wound up 9 of 40 from beyond the arc — Wiggins 0 of 6. Al Horford hit a go-ahead 3-pointer with 6:28 left in the period that made it 58-55 as the Celtics finally found their shooting groove from deep. The drive and kick was beautiful, was working, getting guys wide-open shots,” coach Ime Udoka said. Warriors: Gary Payton II had 15 points off the bench and Poole 14. The Celtics were sloppy in stretches, committing 18 turnovers. The Celtics found their own third-quarter magic that has long defined Golden State's success in the second half. If the Celtics can win at home, the series will return to the Bay Area for a winner-take-all Game 7 on Sunday. All five games so far have been decided by 10 or more points. “... The bigger the challenge has been that we’ve thrown in front of him, the bigger he’s responded. One game after his 43-point performance, Curry contributed 16 points and eight assists but was 0 for 9 from 3-point range.

Dave Portnoy sent out a tweet during Game 5 of the NBA Finals between the Boston Celtics and Golden State Warriors.

- SHOULD THE BUCKS MAKE A TRADE? The Milwaukee Bucks lost Game 7 to the Boston Celtics, which officially ended their 2021-22 NBA season in the second-round. This is the sixth time that the Golden State Warriors have been to the Finals in the last eight seasons, while the Boston Celtics are in the Finals for the first time since 2010. Each team is 1-1 so far at home during the series.

Andrew Wiggins had another huge game Monday night, dropping 26 points and 13 rebounds in the Warriors' win over the Celtics.

"We're here," Wiggins said. But with the Warriors, the 27-year-old has flourished. On Monday night, in a pivotal Game 5, Wiggins erupted for a team-high 26 points and a game-high 13 rebounds to lead the Warriors to a 104-94 win over the Celtics at Chase Center.

As the teams warm up, here are the 3-point leaders in this series so far: Stephen Curry (25 3PM on 49% shooting), Jayson Tatum (14 3PM, 45.2%), Klay Thompson ( ...

They have two chances to win the title, the first coming Thursday in Boston and the second (if necessary) on Sunday back in San Francisco. Another miss from 3 for Curry to make him 0-for-9 for the night, but Payton is there for the putback to give him 15 points and a 16-point lead for the Warriors with 1:19 left. Payton is then fouled by Tatum and does a few pushups before rising to his feet to get some cheers from the crowd. Of course, the team they top is the Warriors (from 2016). But Brown strikes back with a driving layup and-one to put Boston back on top by two. back to back 3s from Jayson – locked in after the half Boston is 3-for-15 after missing their first 12 attempts from deep, and they’re actually shooting better than the Warriors at 3-for-17. This has been an important stretch for Boston as it looks like the Warriors had a chance to blow them off the court in the opening quarter. The Warriors have been great defensively and have looked to push at every opportunity they can. The team that wins Game 5 has gone on to win the series 73.3% of the time (22-8). After scoring a combined four points in Games 3 and 4 combined in Boston, Draymond Green has four points in the first five minutes of Game 5. Keep in mind he played a personal series-high 28 minutes off the bench in Game 4.

Despite an off night from superstar guard Stephen Curry, the Warriors moved one win from a title behind a familiar formula.

He shook off his offensive doldrums early with a couple of buckets in the first five minutes. One of Wiggins' signature sequences came midway through the fourth quarter when he forced an air ball from Tatum then took a pass from Curry on the left wing and drove to his right for a floater over Celtics big man Al Horford that extended the Warriors' lead to 11. Wiggins continues to be a revelation for Golden State. For all of the Warriors' appealing offensive style, they feature limited individual shot creation off the dribble, particularly since the departure of Kevin Durant after the 2018-19 season. The first-team All-NBA standout led all scorers with 27 points in his most dominant output of the series. The loss also wasted something the Celtics faithful have been pining for from their superstar -- a Jayson Tatum game. Golden State sold out and relied on its superb help defense, while the Celtics tried to turn the Warriors' shooters into drivers, offering contested shots from long distance when the Warriors settled for them.

The former No. 1 overall pick is playing his best basketball on the biggest stage, and people are noticing.

It was an eerily appropriate performance for Wiggins, who followed in the NBA Finals footsteps of his father. — DWade (@DwyaneWade)June 14, 2022 Now, the 27-year-old forward is just one game away from an NBA championship.

Curry finished 0-for-9 from deep but Golden State got the win in Game 5 against Boston.

After a historic start to this series, becoming the first player in history to make at least five 3-pointers in four straight Finals games, Curry finished 0-for-9 from 3 in Game 5, and he doesn't care one bit. It wasn't just Curry who was cold from deep on Monday. The Warriors missed 31 3-pointers as a team (9-for-40), which is tied the record for the second-most misses ever compiled in a Finals win. "Track record says I'll shoot the ball better next game," Curry said. Entering Game 5 of the 2022 Finals, Stephen Curry made at least one 3-pointer in 132 consecutive postseason games (which, incidentally, is every postseason game in which he'd ever played), and he'd made multiple 3-pointers in 38 straight playoff games. I like Steph coming off of a game like this, too. Counting the regular season, Curry had made at least one 3-pointer in 233 consecutive games.

Boston, on the other hand, looked daunted and suffered a second consecutive defeat for the first time in this postseason. He had 14 points on the night and renaissance man Gary Payton II, who fractured his elbow just a month before the NBA Finals started, was also a big contributor in Game 5 with 15 points and 5 rebounds. As for Wiggins, who has been the Dubs' second-best player in the series by a distance, he had multiple highlight plays. Tatum looked like he was on the cusp of his best performance of the finals for a spell in the third quarter but he undid that work with some poor decisions and on two separate occasions, the 24-year-old missed both free throws after being fouled. Curry, for his part, failed to make a three-pointer in an NBA game for the first time since November 8, 2018. Andrew Wiggins was the star man on this occasion, impressing with his scoring, defense and rebounding in a magnificent all-round display.

- Andrew Wiggins recorded his second consecutive double-double (17 points and career-high 16 rebounds in Game 4) and sixth of this year’s playoffs with 26 points and a game-high 13 rebounds… It’s the second time in the regular season and playoffs that he’s had back-to-back double-doubles (3/3/20 & 3/5/20)… Tonight marked the first time this season (regular season or playoffs) he has lead the team outright in scoring and rebounding… - The Warriors improved to 11-1 at home this postseason, the league’s best mark… Besides Thompson (5-for-11 3FG) and Poole (3-for-6 3FG), the rest of the Dubs combined to go 1-for-23 from distance. The Celtics outscored the Dubs 35-24 in the period, but the Warriors weathered the storm. The Warriors are now 14-4 in postseason Game 5s dating back to 2015 and 28-23 all-time. But Boston flipped the script, hitting six straight 3-pointers in the third quarter to take their first lead of the game. Armed with a 3-2 series lead, the Warriors will look to close out the series and win their fourth NBA title in the last eight seasons when they visit the Celtics for Game 6 on Thursday (6 p.m. PDT, ABC). Brown - 9 Brown - 18 Green - 8 The Dubs would answer with a 10-0 spurt to open the fourth quarter and maintained their advantage from there.

Curry, who was coming off a 43-point performance in Game 4, hadn't gone without a 3-pointer in a game since Nov. 8, 2018.

The drought ended a streak of 233 postseason and regular-season games in which Curry had made at least one 3-pointer, a run that lasted 3 1/2 years. He has done so much and elevated this franchise to a place where it was hard to even imagine that he has leeway, and he can have a bad night. “Steph is the best to ever shoot it.

The result, of course, was the Celtics dropping a pivotal, winnable game—one in which: Tatum finally had it going; Stephen Curry really didn't have it going, ...

That was the case in Game 1, when the duo managed a 3-to-1 assist-to-turnover ratio, on 18 dimes and 6 miscues. When Tatum and Brown are able to spray the ball around without committing them—like they did in the third period—the Celtics win. He also looked back on the Finals MVP voting in 2015, analyzing whether Curry should have won over Andre Iguodala, who took the award that year. He also had 17 points to go with a game-high 16 boards in Game 4. It was the case in Game 3, when Tatum and Brown combined for 14 assists against just four turnovers. (We mean this as no disrespect, Andrew Wiggins.) Still, what Ime Udoka said after Game 4 holds true: The Celtics easily could have been up 3-1 despite Curry’s scorching showings if they’d merely played offense the way they’re capable of, without turning it over and forcing so much of the action. More to the point, Williams is a plus-31 in the series thus far, meaning Boston has been 31 points better in his 126 minutes of on-court time, despite him playing at less than 100 percent. Aside from the fact that he’s been great in the dunker spot when the Celtics’ offense breaks down the Warriors enough—Williams has shot 16-for-18, or 89% in this series—he’s also been an eraser on defense. In the Finals, Golden State has shot almost 13 percentage points worse than its average from inside of six feet when Williams is nearby, according to the NBA’s tracking data. Golden State got plenty of offense to start, even without Curry scoring much in the early going. Tatum, who shot 1-for-5 in the decisive fourth period, essentially took his ball and went home in that sequence. It was the sort of hounding, get-under-your-skin tactic that Green, in particular, is infamous for.

With less than two weeks until the 2022 NBA Draft we paint a picture of how ACC prospects compare to NBA players past and present.

McGusty is 24 years old and will turn 25 in September. He only shot 28 percent from behind the arc this past season and he likely won’t have the same ball handling responsibilities in the NBA. He’ll need to become a more consistent outside shooter and learn to play without the ball if he wants to have a long career. If Banchero puts his mind to it, he has the potential to be a star in the NBA. Like Herbert Jones, Dereon Seabron is a wiry, athletic wing with versatility on both ends of the floor. The word “potential” is going to be a major theme throughout Butler’s career. However, like Jones, the area he must improve is his perimeter shooting as well as continuing to add strength to his frame. Williams, who led the ACC in assists per game (5.2), has the ability to find his teammates in both the half court and in transition. Like MarShon Brooks, Kameron McGusty is a wiry guard who is a streaky shooter but can create his own shot off the dribble. Overall, Swider has a good foundation for his game while learning under two legendary coaches in Jay Wright at Villanova and Jim Boeheim at Syracuse but how far will he’ll be able to take that will depend on the culture of the organization he ends up in. However, Griffin’s youth is the biggest factor that works in his favor. Like Blake Griffin, Banchero is a fluid athlete who is well coordinated for his size and has demonstrated the ability to be a playmaker in both the half court and in transition. One area for improvement will be his consistency as a perimeter shooter as well as his effort on defense.

Losing 104-94 on Monday night in Game 5 of the 2022 NBA Finals, the Boston Celtics now trail the Golden State Warriors 3-2 in this series, casting a ton of ...

The game plan for the Celtics heading into Game 5 was to stop Curry by any means necessary and live with the result. Andrew Wiggins finished with 26 points, Klay Thompson had 21 points, Draymond Green had 8 points and coming off-the-bench, Jordan Poole and Gary Payton II combined for 29 points. Starting with Wiggins, he has been arguably the best two-way player in this series and has caused Jayson Tatum to become non-existent at times. Coming off a 43-point performance and one of the best shooting displays in NBA Finals history, Curry was held to just 16 points on 7-22 shooting, 0-9 from three-point range. This is definitely not ideal, but they still had a chance to win this game. In this series, Wiggins’ 47 total rebounds leads all players.

Despite Stephen Curry having a rare off-shooting night in Game 5, Andrew Wiggins stepped up to deliver 26 points and 13 rebounds to lead the Golden State ...

With a 3-2 series lead, the Warriors are just one win away from earning their fourth NBA title in the last eight seasons, and the Dubs will look to complete the mission on the road with Game 6 in Boston on Thursday night. The Celtics are yielding 22.4 points off of 16.8 turnovers per loss this postseason, while they are issuing just 12.8 turnovers for 14.4 opponent points in their wins. It doesn’t get bigger than this,” Wiggins shared on his first NBA Finals series, with forward averaging 18.4 points and a playoff-high 9.8 rebounds in the series against the Celtics. Warriors Head Coach Steve Kerr had previously coined Wiggins as “the key to all of this,” emphasizing, “He’s just been fantastic, not just in this series but throughout the playoffs.” The Celtics enter Game 6 in familiar territory – with their backs against the wall. Andrew Wiggins is coming off a team-high performance of 26 points and 13 rebounds in Game 5 of the 2022 NBA Finals series, marking the All-Star forward’s second consecutive double-double of the championship series and second back-to-back double-double of his career.
