29 points. cavs were up 6 at the break. third quarter, welcome to the victor oladipo show. he had 20 in the third. pacers go from down 6 to up 3. 33 for oladipo. pacers snap the streak 106-102. giants have swung and missed on their two biggest pitches this off season. giancarlo stanton isn't coming. yesterday, shohei otani has been described as the japanese baby ruth. he's going to play for the l.a. angels. he can hit home runs. he hits 100 miles an hour as a pitcher. best bit is he won't play outfield that much. he can dh in the american league. but the angels have a guy by the name of albert pujols for that. it's really unclear exactly how the angels will use him. the a's will see otani first. the angels open the season in oakland. men's college soccer semifinal, with defending champs from stanford and akron. look at sam werner, bend it like werner. that was a blast right there. 2-0 stanford is your final.
