andrew bynum. he was ejected. decided to share his athletics with the crowd. they swept the series and moved into the western conference finals. the 11-time nba champion coach sounded like a man who was retiring. >> this has been a wonderful run.. i go out with a sour note after being fined $35,000 by the league and having a feeling like i have been chased by the freeway by them. as richard nixon says you won't be able to kick this guy around any more. my companion and sweetheart is running the organization from the business end so i know i will be involved somewhere along that line. >> still to come tonight on sports wrap a long drought comes to an end for a major tournament winner on the golf

tour. and we will talk tennis. we will be right back.

we are very familiar with the fear of beard mantra when it comes to a certain baseball team. not something we normally associate with the golf tour. seve ballesteros remembered today. jonathan byrd lost his father to brain cancer two years ago, the same thing that took seve ballesteros. an approach that set him up for an easey birdie putt. byrd ran out to a four stroke lead quickly. but byrd's college teammate at clemson luke glover shot himself into contention. chipping in from the fringe at number 8 for birdie. glover looking for his first win since the 2009 open. number 2 glover in front after this putt for eagle. up by a stroke in the clubhouse. he then had to wait. and byrd had a pressure shot in him. he is at 18 putting for a

birdie. headed to a playoff. lasting only one hole as they went back and replayed 18. bird had already taken bogey which meant glover needed to make this par putt and the tournament was his. he breaks a tournament drought getting back into the win column. in the world of tennis spain ralph nadel. he will win this point with quite a shot when we have seen him do it before, through his legs when it looks like he has no choice. wasn't enough to help raphael. dropped the first set 5-7 losing at match point 4-6. quite a milestone. he had never previously beaten raphael on clay. six titles for him this week who is number 2 in the world and nadel seems to be in his sights. the sharks tonight trying to wrap up their series with
