BERLIN (AP) — Harry Kane scored again Friday to lead Bayern Munich to the top of the Bundesliga with a 1-0 win at Cologne.The England forward took his tally to 18 goals in 12 league games and put the pressure on early season leader Bayer Leverkusen, which can reclaim first place Saturday with a win at Werder Bremen.But Bayern missed several opportunities to put the result beyond doubt and had to endure an unnecessarily nervy final minutes in Cologne, where Jamal Musiala scored late on the final day last season to snatch the title for Bayern from Borussia Dortmund.Thomas Müller had to be content to watch from the sideline again Friday as coach Thomas Tuchel opted for Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting in support of star forward Kane. It was the eighth league game in which the Bayern veteran sat among the substitutes – this time for the whole match.Müller hasn’t started in any of Bayern’s four Champions League games so far, while the only time he played a full match this season was in Bayern’s ...

Celtics bullied in disastrous second half en route to blowout loss to Magic

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:59:56 GMT

After his team’s brutal overtime loss to the Hornets earlier this week, Kristaps Porzingis acknowledged that the Celtics will win most games because of their talent. But, the big man cautioned, they don’t want to become a team that relies on that. They want to be a team in Joe Mazzulla’s vision, one that shows up every night with the same mindset and effort no matter the opponent.That’s still a work in progress.Two nights after their best win of the young season over the Bucks, the Celtics fell back to earth on Friday afternoon in Orlando, where they were punked and bullied by the upstart Magic. They lost their way over the course of a disastrous second half in their largest loss of the season, a 113-96 laugher.The Celtics missed their chance to clinch a berth into the In-Season Tournament’s quarterfinals with a victory, but Mazzulla will be far more concerned with the troubling trends that followed his team in Orlando.This was always going to be a tough game for the Celtics, who we...

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:59:56 GMT

On the 39th anniversary of Doug Flutie’s game-winning Hail Mary pass to Gerard Phelan in Miami, Boston College didn’t have a prayer of knocking off the Hurricanes on Saturday at Alumni Stadium.Miami piled up 532 yards of total offense and rolled to a 45-20 victory over BC on Senior Day at the Heights. BC lost its third straight to finish 6-6 and 3-5 in the ACC.“They are a talented group and I thought they played well,” said BC head coach Jeff Hafley. “We had a chance to make some plays on defense but they made some plays and we didn’t. I’m proud of the way the guys fought in the second half.”The Eagles’ dismal showing against the Hurricanes likely cost them a trip to the Pinstripe Bowl against Rutgers or Maryland. The game at Yankee Stadium in the Bronx, N.Y., is a third tier ACC bowl that is aligned exclusively with the Big Ten.The bottom tier bowls available to BC are the Wasabi Fenway Bowl at Fenway Park on Dec. 28 against an opponent from the AAC, possibly SMU, Memphis or ...

Why do the Chicago Bulls keep missing layups? A look at one of this season’s most ‘deflating’ statistics.

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:59:56 GMT

For their first 24 minutes in the game against the Thunder in Oklahoma City on Wednesday, the Chicago Bulls couldn’t hit a shot if it wasn’t behind the 3-point arc.Coby White kept the Bulls in the game by hitting six 3-pointers — three times as many shots as the entire offense was able to make from inside the restricted area.Eventually, the offense kicked back into a more regular gear. But that first half drudged up a familiar frustration for an offense struggling to find any sort of spark — why can’t the Bulls hit their layups?“When that happens it gets a bit deflating,” coach Billy Donovan said. “You’re gonna get down the way we got down when you don’t shoot the ball from anywhere. That’s been the issue for us. We’ve had a couple halves where we’ve had 39 or 40 points. We, for whatever reason, haven’t been able to shoot the ball consistently through the course of the game.”Last season, the Bu...
