What bothered Charlotte’s first-year coach is that Alex Abrines had 25 points on five 3-pointers and Dennis Schroder was able to get to the rim effectively and add 21 more, helping the Oklahoma Thunder overcame a 19-point deficit to beat Borrego’s Hornets 111-107 for their third straight win. Borrego called it “game plan errors.” Paul George had a different explanation: that’s just the way Westbrook impacts games. He called the seven-time All-Star “one of the baddest dudes in the league....

Announced almost precisely one year on from the original TicWatch Pro, this second-generation smartwatch looks to offer a markedly similar proposition, with regards to both features and design. Aside from mobile connectivity, Mobvoi has granted this 2019 model a little extra memory and a reworked finish, but that appears to be the extent of the update.

I don’t know what happened,” Woods told a PGA Tour official before exiting the grounds....

No chance. After birdies at his first two holes, Woods made a double bogey at the second — his 11th hole of the day — and a triple bogey at the seventh.
