INGLEWOOD, Calif. — In a parallel universe, Aaron Gordon wasn’t in the right place at the right time to dunk Nikola Jokic’s airball at the buzzer, because he wasn’t on the court at all.
For a moment Saturday, he flirted with an ejection by confronting James Harden during a donnybrook between the Nuggets and Clippers late in the first half of Game 4 at Intuit Dome. Gordon’s hand even made inadvertent contact with the face of Clippers guard Norman Powell in the fray. Fortunately for all involved, including the live audience that was in for an instant classic, nobody was disqualified for either team.
“Looking at all the angles, we felt everyone involved had an equitable role in the altercation,” officiating crew chief Zach Zarba said in a pool report interview. “Due to that, they were all given equitable penalties.”
More specifically: Six offsetting technical fouls, three to each team. Gordon, Christian Braun and Nikola Jokic picked up techs for Denver. Harden, Powell and Kris Dunn did for Los Angeles.
“I thought they handled it the right way,” Nuggets interim coach David Adelman said. “I didn’t think there was anything extracurricular after the fact that you could say was dangerous, and I thought both teams were just going at it, trying to win a game.”
It all started when Braun intentionally reached in on Harden, as he often does when the Nuggets have a foul to give at the end of the half. Harden disapproved of Braun’s aggression. The veteran point guard got in Braun’s face, and their private conversation escalated quickly when Jokic and Gordon smelled trouble. They both raced over, trying to provide reinforcements for an incredulous Braun.
“I took a take foul at the end of the half. Something that we always do. I think he was just a little frustrated with how I took the foul,” Braun said. “And that’s basketball. It’s good for the sport. It’s fun. It made the game more fun. I think they rallied behind it. I think we did, too. The response from both teams made the game really fun.”
“I think (Harden) was just kind of getting a little bit chippy with CB,” Gordon said. “I think CB was doing a good job pressuring him. And I can’t let nobody step to my young fella, so I was just running in giving backup. This is what playoff basketball is about. You see these teams every day, or every other day. You play them so many times consecutively, it’s bound to get chippy.”
Harden swiped at Gordon’s face, prompting Gordon to chase after Harden, seemingly willing and ready to take a swing of his own. Both players were ultimately held back.
The closest thing to a successful punch was Harden’s open-handed jab. The next-closest thing was Gordon on Powell, though Powell seemed to move into Gordon’s hand.
“A closed-fist attempt to punch someone, whether that makes contact or not, would definitely fall under an ejectable offense,” Zarba said, confirming that the referees saw no such example while reviewing the brouhaha.
“There were a lot of people in that scuffle,” Adelman said. “You can define whatever you want to define with ‘open hand,’ all that stuff. .. I don’t think Aaron has a reputation of being that person.”
But ironically, if the rulebook is to be interpreted strictly, the individual most likely to face punishment from the league after further examination will be Nuggets forward Michael Porter Jr. — one of the only players who wasn’t involved in the incident.
Porter was on Denver’s bench at the time, and he briefly strayed onto the court before getting pulled back. According to the rulebook, “all players not participating in the game must remain in the immediate vicinity of their bench,” and “violators will be subject to suspension, without pay, for a minimum of one game and fined up to $50,000.”
Porter never got close to the fight. But he did leave the bench. His Game 5 fate might be decided by the league’s discretion or lack thereof regarding the definition of “immediate vicinity.”
There is a historical parallel from NBA Playoffs history from back in 2007. The Phoenix Suns were seconds away from beating the San Antonio Spurs in Game 4 of their Western Conference semifinal series when Robert Horry pushed Steve Nash into the scorer’s table. Phoenix’s Boris Diaw and Amare Stoudemire temporarily strayed from the bench in the ensuing scuffle, but did not engage. Regardless, both were suspended for Game 5 of that series.
Of course, that was under a different commissioner (David Stern) and was just a couple of years removed from the most infamous fight in NBA history (the Palace brawl).
Porter delivered a gutsy performance in Denver’s Game 4 win, scoring 17 points with a sprained shoulder. He apologized afterward for wandering.
“I didn’t know the specific rule. I didn’t make it very far,” he said. “That’s what a team is for. That’s what the coaches are for, to pull you back. It’s an intense game, an intense moment. I’d had a double foul with Powell earlier. And then to see my guys get in it like that, I’m just glad I didn’t make it very far and that the coaches and my teammates were aware.”
Harden has been guarding Gordon for most of this series, so they’re seeing plenty of each other. When they took their positions for the first possession out of halftime, they could be seen having a friendly chat — indicative of both teams’ overall attitude about the dust-up.
“This is what we want. This is what we’re about. This is what we work for,” Powell said. “Tight, intense playoff series. No team willing to give an inch. No team willing to back down. So it’s gonna get chippy. We’re gonna fight. We’ve got guys that like it.”

Instant reaction from the Avalanche’s 4-0 win over the Dallas Stars in Game 4 of their first-round Stanley Cup Playoffs series.
1. Lan-dy! Lan-dy! Lan-dy!: What’s better than watching the captain return to the ice for the first time in three years? Watching Gabe Landeskog find the back of the net for the first time since June 20, 2022 — a span of 1,041 days. With 6:50 left in the second period, the Avalanche more or less put the game away when second-line center Brock Nelson zipped up the left side of the ice and found Landy all alone in the slot, a stride outside the left faceoff circle. The captain cocked his stick back and launched a wrister past Dallas goaltender Jake Oettinger to give the hosts a 3-0 lead and send Ball Arena into complete hysterics. Quite a homestand for the 32-year-old Swede, who celebrated his return to the NHL in Game 3 and his first goal after said return in Game 4.
2. Bednar’s tweaks paid off: Speaking of Landeskog, give Avs coach Jared Bednar credit for making lineup adjustments that got two struggling facets going again. Actually, it was more like two adjustments with the same guy, as the coach moved Landy from the third line to the second line to give that struggling crew a bit of a boost and No. 92 to the top power-play unit. End result? That second line with Val Nichushkin on the wing and Nelson at center scored for the first time this series. And at the end of the first period, the Avs closed a feisty stanza with a power-play goal, a missile off the stick of Nathan Mackinnon. That ended a 0-for-8 slump by the Avs with the extra man. Stars coach Pete DeBoer seemed to sense the mojo, too, pulling Oettinger to start the third period despite a decent showing to that point. Everybody’s seemingly setting the chess pieces up for Games 6 and 7 at this point.
3. Two-goal lead? Yes, sir!: You know how to prevent heartbreaking third-period deadlocks and, by proxy, heartbreaking overtime losses? Two-goal leads! We kid, but it’s amazing how much different the Avs look when they’ve got a cushion to play with. Nathan MacKinnon’s power-play laser past Oettinger on the power play with 23.4 seconds to go put the hosts up 2-0 just before the initial intermission and put the Stars in a hole. If it felt as if it had been a while, that’s because it was — the end of the first period was the Avs’ first multi-goal cushion in the series since the third stanza of Game 1. In that game, Colorado turned a 2-0 bulge into 3-1 — then 4-1 and, eventually, 5-1. Losing one-goal leads had threatened to become a theme against Dallas, but a fast start saw the Stars begin to tense up, instead of the other way ’round.

Someone should probably start on the movie script at this point.
Colorado Avalanche captain Gabe Landeskog scored his first goal in nearly three years and added an assist, punctuating a dominant performance in a 4-0 win Saturday night against the Dallas Stars at Ball Arena in Game 4 of this 2025 Stanley Cup Playoffs opening-round series.
Logan O’Connor and Nathan MacKinnon got the party started, but it was Landeskog’s goal at 13:10 of the second that led to a euphoric release of emotion inside Ball Arena after the home patrons saw their captain score his first goal since Game 3 of the 2022 Stanley Cup Final.
The win evens the best-of-seven series at 2-2, with Game 5 on Monday night Dallas. It also guarantees a Game 6 back here on Thursday night.
Colorado’s fourth line grinded out a long shift in the Dallas end ahead of the third goal. The Stars probably should have been called for icing, but the Avs retrieved the puck and went right back to work. Josh Manson got the puck up to Brock Nelson along the left side of the ice.
Nelson sent it to Landeskog in the high slot. The Avs captain controlled the pass for a beat, then fired a rocket past Dallas goalie Jake Oettinger. Landeskog had two goals in that Game 3 against the Tampa Bay Lightning and an assist in the Cup-clinching Game 6.
That was Nelson’s first point of the series. Avs coach Jared Bednar was happy with how the Avs’ big trade deadline addition played in Game 3, and he was involved in several scoring chances again in this contest.
It was the only goal of Colorado’s best period of the series, but that was solely because of Oettinger’s heroics. The Avs had a 22-5 advantage in shots on goal, including 14 in a row at one point. They had the next 11 shots on goal after the Landeskog goal as they continued to pour on the offensive pressure.
That same formula — a great shift by the fourth line proceeding a goal from the new-look second unit — made it a 4-0 game. After the fourth line pinned Dallas in its own end, Nelson went to work on Lian Bischel in the corner to turn the puck over. That eventually led to a Samuel Girard goal, with a vintage Landeskog screen in front at 10:46 of the third.
Both Nelson and Landeskog collected assists to give each two-point nights. The fourth goal came on backup goalie Casey DeSmith, who replaced Oettinger at the start of the third period.
The Avalanche penalty kill has been a trouble spot this series, but it was the PK that put Colorado in front. O’Connor bullied Thomas Harley off the puck at the right point, then raced to the other end and buried a shot into the top-left corner at 12:39 of the first.
Dallas scored three times on the man advantage in the first three games, including a pair of game-tying third-period tallies to send Games 2 and 3 to overtime.
Colorado doubled its advantage with a much-needed power play goal late in the period. MacKinnon scored on a one-timer from Devon Toews with 23.4 left in the period. The Avs were 2 for 13 on the man advantage coming into Game 4, including an 0-for-6 Game 3. Jonathan Drouin, who was taken off the top unit, made a great play to get the puck to Toews.
This was the first period everyone expected from the Avs in Game 3, when Landeskog made his remarkable return after 1,032 days away. Colorado dominated the puck. While the Avs didn’t score at even strength, they had a 23-9 advantage in shot attempts.
Footnotes: Landeskog moved up to the second line and top power-play unit for this game, just his second NHL contest since the 2022 Stanley Cup Final. … Ross Colton missed his third straight contest because of an injury sustained in Game 1. Avs coach Jared Bednar did not have an updated timeline for him ahead of Game 4.

SAN DIEGO — Dylan Cease has not looked like Dylan Cease yet.
The Padres at least scored a run, but these Padres hardly look like the Padres that began the week with baseball’s best record.
A sixth-inning run to halt a scoreless streak at 30 innings in a 4-1 loss to the Tampa Bay Rays on Saturday night at Petco Park was a mere whisper into a hurricane of bumps and bruises that may have added yet another body to an ever-growing injured list.
“Nobody’s going to feel sorry for us. Nobody at all,” Padres manager Mike Shildt said. “And we’re not going to feel sorry for ourselves. We haven’t, and we won’t. It’s a chin-up, figure-it-out clubhouse, and I feel the same way.”
Losing a long man like Logan Gillaspie to an oblique injury is not at all like losing Jackson Merrill to a hamstring strain or Jake Cronenworth to a fractured rib or Luis Arraez to a concussion.
But it is the sort of thing that can add up — and has.
The Padres began the season with five pitchers on the injured list, headlined by Yu Darvish and Joe Musgrove. The number of bodies on the shelf has since doubled, leading utility infielder Mason McCoy to attempt to play through a dislocated pinky suffered on the final out of Friday’s loss.
The Padres have multiple avenues to cover any time that Gillaspie misses. The reliever doubled over after making a seventh-inning pitch and walked off with a trainer.
Ryan Bergert was called up Friday as the Padres temporarily shifted to a four-man rotation, and he turned in a scoreless eighth in his debut on Saturday. Kyle Hart could return immediately if Gillaspie lands on the injured list. Stephen Kolek, Omar Cruz and Ron Marinaccio are also length options on the 40-man roster.
The Padres have not yet found a salve for a busted lineup.
They’ve scored just one run since Elias Díaz’s second-inning home run on Tuesday in Detroit, with third-string center fielder Tyler Wade tripling to open the sixth and scoring on Fernando Tatis Jr.’s single to halt the scoreless streak at 30 innings, seven shy of the 1971 franchise record.
The Padres managed just four other hits in Saturday’s game, saw Rays rookie Chandler Simpson rob Manny Machado of a home run in the seventh inning and are hitting .138 during a three-game skid that’s carried them from the best record in baseball to looking up in the NL West standings for the first time since April 6.
It’s easy to see why.
Merrill went down with an injury, followed by Cronenworth. Tatis lost just one game to a minor ailment, but Brandon Lockridge, Jason Heyward and Arraez have since hopped onto the injured list.
Cease at least lowered his ERA to 5.76 with three runs — two earned — allowed in Saturday’s start. The problem is, he failed to complete even five innings and has just one quality start to begin his walk year.
He walked a season-high four batters, threw just 54 of his 95 pitches for strikes and exited with the bases loaded with one out in the fifth inning.
“I think something’s going to click” with Cease, Shildt said. “He’s been good this year. … The stuff is still coming out good. It’s just a matter of having to repeat it.”
The Rays tacked on a run on pinch-hitter Curtis Mead’s sacrifice fly to right. The first two runs scored in the third inning — one on Brandon Lowe’s solo homer and another on a Christopher Morel double after Xander Bogaerts’ botched catch on a pop-up to add traffic to Cease’s busy night.
The full-strength Padres wouldn’t have batted an eye at a 3-0 deficit after five innings. This short-handed version has turned such molehills into mountains.
They wasted Tatis’ double to open the game when he was caught in a rundown on Machado’s tapper back to the mound. Tirso Ornelas was picked off first base after a leadoff walk in the second inning. Wade was caught trying to steal second with Tatis up in the third.
Wade at least atoned for that gaffe with the leadoff triple that set up the Padres’ lone run. He later doubled with two outs in the eighth, but Tatis struck out with runners on first and second to end that threat and a Machado throwing error in the ninth added traffic for Jason Adam, who wound up walking in a run to pad the Rays’ lead.
Machado doubled with one out in the ninth, but Bogaerts popped out to a smattering of boos and Ornelas grounded out to end the game.
“Tonight was uncharacteristic, where we beat ourselves a little bit,” Shildt said.
“This group will regroup,” he added later. “They care. They’re competing their tails off. They want to do it, especially at home.”

Gritty at home. Lazy around halftime. Up and down. For better or for worse, the Colorado Rapids continue to show exactly who they are.
The Seattle Sounders have been one of the more low-key bogey teams for the Rapids in recent years, but the two teams shared the points on Saturday night with a 1-all draw at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park.
The Rapids are unbeaten in their last three games, but after a late equalizer conceded in Houston a week ago and a winner called back against Seattle, they’ll be left wanting more from the recent stretch. The Sounders are unbeaten in the same run of games.
Djordje Mihailovic got the opening tally for the Rapids in the 54th minute. Oliver Larraz drew a foul inside the D, then Mihailovic snuck a low drive under a jumping Sounders wall to beat longtime Seattle star keeper Stefan Frei. It was Mihailovic’s fifth goal of the regular season (seventh in all competitions) and his third straight match with a goal.
The Sounders got on the board first in the 45th minute. On a free kick around midfield, Seattle went quick and caught the Rapids snoozing on what became a counter. Jesus Ferreira found Kalani Kossa-Rienzi on the right wing, where offside shouts were ignored, and he put in a low cross to Danny Musovski, who almost couldn’t have missed.
Musovski, who was subbed out at halftime, has now scored in each of his last three games with the Sounders.
Conceding in the 45th minute continued a troubling trend for the Rapids, who struggle in the few minutes on either side of halftime. Of the 14 goals given up in MLS play this season, eight have been in the final five minutes of the first half or the first five minutes of the second half.
They’ve also given up a few in the last five minutes of games.
The Rapids seemed to have a winner in the 86th minute, when substitute Kévin Cabral lofted a cross to Rafael Navarro, who knocked in a header. Navarro was ruled to have fouled a Seattle defender on the way up, but the season-high 16,312 Rapids fans in attendance disagreed vehemently when the replay was shown around the stadium.
Cabral was denied a header of his own by Frei in the 90+4th minute, which was the last action of regulation. The following corner was punched away by Frei.

Losing a long man like Logan Gillaspie to left oblique strain is not at all like losing Jackson Merrill to a hamstring strain or Jake Cronenworth to a fractured rib or Luis Arraez to a concussion.

“We’re more than capable of being able to … put it together.”

It’s not hard to see why.
First, Merrill went down. Then Cronenworth. Tatis lost just one game to a false alarm, but Brandon Lockridge, Jason Heyward and Arraez have since hopped onto the injured list. Adding insult to all that injury, Xander Bogaerts dropped a pop-up to lead to a run, Machado committed a throwing error to lead to another, the Padres made three outs on the bases and the staff combined for six walks.
“Tonight’s the first night I’ve kind of seen (pressing) a little bit,” Shildt said. “A couple good pitching performances against us (on Wednesday and Friday). Guys are competing their tails off. Guys are hungry. They want to get back on the good side of this thing and we will. Just a few guys trying to do too much, pushing it a little too hard on the bases. We like to be aggressive, but we want to make sure we’re letting the game come to us.”
Cease at least lowered his ERA to 5.76 with three runs — two earned — allowed in Saturday’s start. The problem is, he failed to complete even five innings and has just one quality start to begin his walk year.
He walked a season-high four batters, threw just 54 of his 95 pitches for strikes and exited with the bases loaded with one out in the fifth inning.

“I’m going to have to sit down with (pitching coach Ruben Niebla) and come up with a plan,” said Cease, who finished fourth in NL Cy Young voting last year. “…It’s not necessarily something that’s far away. It’s just not quite in that good rhythm right now.”
The full-strength Padres wouldn’t have batted an eye at a 3-0 deficit after five innings.
This shorthanded version has turned such molehills into mountains.

Machado doubled with one out in the ninth, but Bogaerts popped out to a smattering of boos and Ornelas grounded out to end a loss that knocked the Padres into a tie for second with the Dodgers in the NL West, a half-game behind the surprising Giants.
“We just have to go out there and perform — simple as that,” said Tatis, who accounted for two of his team’s five hits. “We have guys over here that can do the job. … Better at-bats overall as a group. Clean it up on the bases, keep playing better defense.
“We just have to regroup together.”

After three consecutive scoreless draws, Orlando City (4-2-4, 16 points) returned to winning ways with a dominant 3-0 home victory over Atlanta United (2-5-3, 9 points) on Saturday night.
The Lions put together their most complete performance of the season against a bitter rival, earning three points in their climb up the Eastern Conference standings.
“I’m happy that we won this game today. After these draw games and difficult creation of chances and scoring goals, I think today was really important,” Orlando City forward Marco Pašalić. “And I’m happy that I’m the one who helped the team today.”
Orlando City earned a penalty late in the first half after the VAR review found that Luis Muriel was taken down in the box by Atlanta midfielder Bartosz Slisz. Muriel stepped up to take the kick, calmly slotting it into the right-hand corner in the 42nd minute.
The Lions doubled their lead in the 51st minute with a goal from right-back Alex Freeman. Pašalić played Freeman on into the box, and the young defender powered his shot to the far post past Atlanta goalkeeper Brad Guzan to make it 2-0.
Pašalić got in on the scoring himself with an incredible shot from outside the box. His left-footed shot left Guzan flat-footed, putting the game away at 3-0 in the 67th minute.
The victory was Orlando’s fourth consecutive clean sheet, and the three-goal showing brings much-needed confidence. Finding consistency with the balance between potent offense and stingy defense is vital if Orlando wants to compete for the MLS Cup.
“I feel like we’ve been strong defensively the past couple games, past four games, and I feel like if you’re strong enough, you’re gonna end up scoring goals, and that’s what we did today,” Freeman said. “Having that balance is gonna get us very far and get us to our potential that we want to reach.”

The frenzy began before Day 3 had even concluded, George Paton and Sean Payton’s post-draft maneuverings well-known for years as a major roster-building tool.
And after the Broncos took their crystal in Jahdae Barron on Day 1, went skill-heavy Day 2 and upside-heavy Day 3, they targeted a slew of positions to fill out their roster with potential impact names who’d fallen through 257 picks in Green Bay.
The Denver Post has confirmed 11 undrafted free agents, via sources or public announcements, who’ve agreed to terms with the Broncos as of Saturday night. Here’s a breakdown of the new faces.
C Clay Webb, Jacksonville State: Webb excelled for three seasons at Jacksonville State, allowing just seven pressures in 915 snaps at left guard in 2024. He’s got the size at 6-foot-3 and 312 pounds to be a difference-maker and provide solid offensive-line depth in the NFL. In 2020, however, AL.com reported he was named in a federal bullying lawsuit, a plaintiff alleging he was encouraged to drink from a Gatorade bottle that allegedly contained Webb’s semen.
Edge Johnny Walker Jr., Mizzou: The Broncos may have gotten a steal here. After adding edge help in Alabama’s Que Robinson in the fourth round, Denver picked up another potential impact pass-rusher in Walker, who recorded 9.5 sacks for Mizzou this past season. The frame isn’t huge at 6-foot-2 and 246 pounds, but the production is worth a look.
WR Joaquin Davis, North Carolina Central: An ideal post-draft flyer. Davis didn’t have massive production at HBCU North Carolina Central, with 30 catches for 448 yards in 2024, but the measurables are off-the-charts: 6-foot-4, 4.44-second 40-yard dash and 40.5-inch vertical at the HBCU Combine. Fun fact: he’s a horseback rider, according to The Athletic.
WR Jerjuan Newton, Toledo: The 5-foot-11, 190-pound wideout brings big-time production with 72 catches for 1,048 yards and 11 touchdowns his final season at Toledo. He’s totaled 29 touchdown catches in the last three years.
WR Courtney Jackson, Arkansas State: A potential slot receiver for the Broncos, Jackson played a majority of his snaps there for Arkansas State the past two years and totaled 81 catches across 2023 and 2024.
OL Xavier Truss, Georgia: Hard to go wrong with adding veteran SEC linemen. Truss started for three years at Georgia, with decent but inconsistent results as a pass-blocker. He’s got NFL-ready size at 6-7 and 309 pounds, and has taken snaps at every line spot besides center across the last four years.
LB JB Brown, Kansas: He likely went undrafted because of his size — sort of a tweener at 6-2 and 230 pounds — but Brown was a difference-maker last year at Kansas in playing both mike and will linebacker, and getting plenty of looks as a blitzer off the edge. He racked up 20 pressures and five sacks last year, according to Pro Football Focus, and offers plenty of versatility.
OL Joe Michalski, Oklahoma State: NFL.com characterized Michalski as having “below-average mass and length” for a center, at 6-5 and 305 pounds. He’s been solid the past two years for Oklahoma State, though, only allowing a combined 14 pressures across 2023 and 2024, per PFF.
DT Christian Dowell, UT Martin: Dowell hails from an FCS program in UT Martin and hasn’t put an overwhelming amount of collegiate snaps on tape. He showed promise as a run-stopper in 2024, though, and has nose-tackle mass at 6-2 and 320 pounds.
LB Karene Reid, Utah: The Broncos and Paton have mined plenty of talent from Utah in recent years, between outside linebacker Jonah Elliss and wide receiver DeVaughn Vele in 2024 and tight end Caleb Lohner in this year’s class. They kept the party going with Reid. He profiles similarly to Brown, with tweener size at 6-foot and 226 pounds and splitting time between mike and will in 2024.
CB Jaden Robinson, Oregon State: Robinson was a two-year starter for the Beavers, racking up 38 tackles and four pass deflections in 2024.
