Jalen Green had 29 points while Alperen Sengun scored 20 to lead the Rockets to a 111-104 victory over the Phoenix Suns on Wednesday. Houston extended their winning streak to four games. "We got back to guarding at a pretty high level," head coach Ime Udoka said. With Jabari Smith Jr. and Fred VanVleet returning to the lineup, the Rockets have been given a boost as the conclusion of the regular season approaches in a tightly contested race for spots 2-5 in the Western Conference. "The luck of being totally healthy throughout the season is unrealistic," Udoka said. "That's the blessing that we have with our team is that we have a lot of interchangeable parts." Houston has seen success in rolling out bigger lineups, intermixing Smith, Sengun and Steven Adams. "Double bigs have been really good for us," Udoka said. "It comes down to a war of will with the bigs and smalls out there and who can take advantage of what." Adams and Suns center Mason Plumlee were ejected before halftime of Wednesday's matchup after the pair wrestled each other to the court. Adams' presence under the basket on both ends of the floor is a major factor in the Rockets leading the league in offensive rebounds, averaging 14.7 per game this season. "In order to be a really good offensive rebounder like [Adams] does, you have to have a great sense of where the ball is going to come off the rim. But it starts with his strength and wedging guys under, carving out that space for himself. A lot of times, he's going to get the ball, but also he commands a double, triple team on the glass, and he allows other guys to clean up and get those opportunities as well," Udoka said. The Rockets host the Mavericks on Friday in the first of a back-to-back as the Bulls will be in the Toyota Center the following night.

fWotD Episode 2868: 2020 Seattle Sounders FC season Welcome to Featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia’s finest articles.The featured article for Wednesday, 12 March 2025 is 2020 Seattle Sounders FC season.The 2020 season was Seattle Sounders FC's twelfth season in Major League Soccer (MLS), the top flight of professional club soccer in the United States. It was the 37th season played by a professional team bearing the Sounders name, which had originated in 1974 with the first incarnation of the franchise. The team was under the management of Brian Schmetzer in his fourth full MLS season as head coach of the Sounders.Seattle were the reigning MLS Cup champions, having defeated Toronto FC 3–1 in the 2019 final at their home stadium, CenturyLink Field (renamed Lumen Field in November 2020). The season began with two home matches but was suspended on March 12, 2020, due to the COVID-19 pandemic; the second Sounders match had reduced attendance due to the pandemic's spread in the Seattle metropolitan area. MLS resumed with a special tournament in July hosted in the Orlando area, and teams returned home a month later to play in matches behind closed doors. The Sounders only played 22 regular season matches, mostly against opponents in the Western Conference, due to a shortened schedule and several canceled matches. The 2020 Campeones Cup was canceled along with the 2020 U. S. Open Cup.Seattle qualified for the 2020 MLS Cup Playoffs as the second-placed team in the Western Conference, determined by points per game due to the unbalanced number of games played by MLS teams during the season. The Sounders defeated Los Angeles FC, FC Dallas, and Minnesota United FC at home to win a second consecutive conference championship and qualify for MLS Cup 2020, where they lost 3–0 to Columbus Crew SC.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 03:46 UTC on Wednesday, 12 March 2025.For the full current version of the article, see 2020 Seattle Sounders FC season on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm neural Justin.

But the Lakers did not get step-up games from Luka (8-26 shooting) and Austin Reaves (3-14 from the field), nor did they get a great effort on the boards (16 offensive rebounds for BKN) as they wasted good shooting games from Gabe Vincent (24 points, 6-9 from 3) and Jordan Goodwin (17 points, 5-6 from 3) in a 111-108 loss to the Nets. Join the guys from the LFB as they recap the game, why coach JJ Redick is upset about the Lakers' effort, and share what's up ahead for the team as they continue to fight for a top seed in the Western Conference.

We're back with another AFTN Soccer Show packed full of Vancouver Whitecaps, Major League Soccer, CONCACAF Champions Cup, and FIFA chat. The Whitecaps keep rolling with a very strong performance against Mexican powerhouse CF Monterrey in Champions Cup action, followed by a victory over CF Montreal in MLS action in their Canadian derby that saw them go top of the Western Conference standings. We pick over the bones of both matches and the main talking points coming out of them. We look at the standout performances, chat about Jesper Sorensen's early enforced use of his squad depth, and ponder just how much Ryan Gauld's knee injury could derail the 'Caps excellent start depending on how severe it is and how quickly the club act to bring in another piece. We also chat with Montreal's Canadian midfielder Victor Loturi about coming back to Canada to play in MLS, his time in Scotland, and how playing in the CPL shaped him as a player. It's also been a newsworthy week for FIFA with the 2026 World Cup countdown continuing apace and we talk halftime shows, government taskforces, bitcoin, weather concerns, further expansion to 64 teams, and Canada's latest plans.

It was a jam-packed weekend for the Edmonton Oilers, starting with Friday's NHL Trade Deadline, where the team surprisingly stood pat while other Western Conference contenders made significant moves to load up for the playoffs. Then, on Saturday night, the Oilers hosted the Dallas Stars—now featuring newly acquired Mikko Rantanen—and delivered an entertaining but nerve-wracking 5-4 victory.The Oilers exploded for a 5-1 lead early, only to see that gap shrink to a one-goal game. Stuart Skinner came up huge in the third period, backstopping the Oilers to an important win. Saturday also marked the highly anticipated debut of new Oilers defenseman Jake Walman. We'll break down his impact, the big hits he threw, and the energy he provided, as well as where he fits into this lineup moving forward after logging over 24 minutes in his first game.Finally, we'll get you set for tonight's matchup against the Buffalo Sabres and welcome Sportsnet analyst Louie DeBrusk to the show. He'll share his thoughts on the Oilers' quiet trade deadline, the Walman addition, and the importance of Saturday's big win.With the trade deadline in the rearview and the playoff push in full swing, what's next for the Oilers?

[03:45] DIANNA RUSSINI JOINS THE SHOWMultiple teams have reportedly reached out to the Bengals to inquire about trading for wide receiver Tee Higgins. Cincinnati has remained firm in their stance on Higgins, but with trade interest growing, will they eventually make a move? Seattle Seahawks wide receiver DK Metcalf has reportedly requested a trade, with the team setting a high asking price of a first- and third-round pick. With rumors swirling about a potential trade involving Joey Bosa, what kind of market does the star pass rusher have? [15:24] DOES SGA HAVE THE MVP LOCKED UP?Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has been on an absolute tear, setting a record for the fewest games between his first and fourth 50-point performances with just 19. His scoring dominance has propelled the Oklahoma City Thunder to a Western Conference-best 50-11 record, making him the clear frontrunner for MVP. He currently leads the league in both points per game (32.6) and total points (1,957). With SGA now sitting at -650 odds to win the award, is there any real competition left for the MVP, or is it already locked up? [26:20] SHOULD COOPER FLAGG RETURN TO DUKE?During Duke's final home game of the season, fans erupted into chants urging Cooper Flagg to "run it back" for another year. Flagg seemed to acknowledge the moment, raising his finger as if signaling his return, while his father made the same gesture in the stands. Reports suggest that Flagg could consider withdrawing from the 2025 NBA Draft if he is unhappy with the team that lands the No. 1 overall pick. With his NIL deals already totaling $4.8 million, making him the highest-paid college player, does he actually have a reason to stay at Duke for another year? [37:25] JASON KIDD ON KYRIE IRVING'S INJURYKyrie Irving was playing heavy minutes in the weeks leading up to his injury, averaging 39.3 per game—more than any other player in that span. After Irving went down, Mavericks head coach Jason Kidd pushed back against any criticism regarding the team's handling of his workload, calling the injury a "freak accident." Is Kidd right to dismiss concerns about overuse, or is this a sign that the Mavericks are mismanaging their stars? With Irving sidelined, how much trouble is Dallas in for the rest of the season? [40:33] THIS, THAT, AND THE THIRD THIS: LED FLOORS IN SPORTSA futuristic LED court recently went viral, sparking debate over whether this technology could become a staple in professional sports. THAT: THE $87K "CHEETOZARD" AUCTIONThe sports memorabilia world has seen some wild purchases over the years, but this might take the cake. A Cheeto shaped like Pokémon's Charizard recently sold for an astonishing $87,840 at auction. THE THIRD: RICE KRISPY ICE CREAM MADNESSGoJo was spotted on Twitter indulging in a new, questionable snack—Rice Krispy ice cream.

Logan Murdock, Howard Beck, and Raja Bell start the pod with the unfortunate season-ending injury news for All-Star guard Kyrie Irving (0:21). Irving's injury adds to the long list of Mavs players that have been sidelined throughout the season, including Anthony Davis (who was traded for Luka Doncic). Just how catastrophic has this season been for the Mavs? On the flip side, the Lakers have been rolling and are 16-4 in their last 20 games. LeBron and Luka seem to fit perfectly together and Howard believes this still isn't the best version of Luka. How terrified should the Western Conference teams be (23:18)?
