threatened in the second half. travis somehow staying inbounds and tiptoes 72 yards down the sideline. finished with 149 yards and two scores. clemson rolls 42-17. the bank is closed, but that's good news for the sharks. san jose re-signing right winger kevin labank to a four-year deal worth close to $19 million. his best-known goal came in the crazy game seven comeback against las vegas. he played just last year on a $1 million deal hoping he could cash in like this and that. it's paid off. he had 33 points off his career high 56 two years ago. scored just three fewer goals in the shortened season. the sharks like this 24-year-old, and obviously see him as a key piece in their rebuild. that's your look at sports. i'll send it back to you. tonight here on abc7, game six of the nba finals. jimmy butler and the miami heat will try to force a game seven with lebron james and the lakers as they try to win the 17th championship.
