The Colorado Rapids weren’t “cupset” Wednesday night in the third round of the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup. Given the Burgundy Boys’ history in the tournament, a win in and of itself is something to celebrate, but beating an in-state opponent made it even sweeter.Colorado scored a pair of second-half goals to earn a first Open Cup win since 2017 with a 3-1 victory over the Northern Colorado Hailstorm in the first iteration of the “South Platte River Derby” in Commerce City.Jonathan Lewis scored twice and Max scored his second goal in the last three games, though their neighbors from the north made quite a bit of noise in the upset bid.Hey @mitch__carroll, I'm sure you're well aware but your guy has scored two goals in his last three games.

Avalanche-Kraken Game 5 quick hits: Nathan MacKinnon’s rage justified after handful of missed calls

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:56:48 GMT

Instant reaction from the Avalanche’s 3-2 loss to the Seattle Kraken in Game 5 of their first-round Stanley Cup Playoffs series.1. Four blind mice?We’re not going to say the zebras have been making stuff up this as they go, but … oh, to heck with it. We will. Darn straight, we will. Nathan MacKinnon gets tripped by Will Borgen at center ice late in the first period and no call? After Jack Johnson got two minutes in the sin bin for contact that looked far more incidental? MacKinnon finally let his rage flag fly with about 9:50 left in the second stanza, when he appeared to be on the receiving end of another Borgen trip — this one near the boards as the two got their skates tangled. No. 29 was so steamed that he slammed his stick in frustration, and 10 seconds later, Seattle’s Tye Kartye fired a snapper into an open net — Georgiev was screened by Josh Manson — to put the visitors ahead again, this time by a 2-1 score.2. 15% slower at everythingWith 16:43 left in the second, defe...

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:56:48 GMT

SACRAMENTO — When the going gets tough, the Warriors get going. And that’s what was on display Wednesday night in Golden State’s 123-116 win over the Sacramento Kings. The Warriors might’ve had one of the worst road records in the league this season. But Stephen Curry, Draymond Green and Klay Thompson have won at least one road game in 27 consecutive playoff series. And they weren’t going to take a chance of letting that run break against the up-and-coming Kings. Even as Sacramento battled back from a 10-point deficit and got within one in the fourth, the Warriors stood strong, with its main core group of guys doing everything in their power to stay in control.Andrew Wiggins hit a turnaround fadeaway shot to put the Warriors up by five with 48 seconds. Then, Curry ran circles around the court, with Harrison Barnes and several other gray uniforms trying to keep up. Barnes fouled Curry on his made layup, which he converted into a three-point play to exten...
