Happy Wednesday, ladies and gentlemen. Hopefully everyone is well-rested after the late-night classic between the Minnesota Timberwolves and Los Angeles Lakers in the nightcap of the first night of the NBA Play-In Tournament. Ultimately, the Lakers came out on top, 108-102, in an overtime thriller. The Lakers now advance to the NBA Playoffs as the No. 7 seed. In the early game, the Atlanta Hawks rolled past the Miami Heat to punch their ticket to the NBA Playoffs First Round. Tonight, the action continues with another win-or-go-home doubleheader, so buckle up and get ready. On the ice, the NHL regular season is also winding down with teams punching their tickets to the postseason. We also have the Champions League, so there is plenty of action to tune into throughout the day. In the meantime, let’s check out some headlines from around the web that we may have missed.
