However, even with Leonard's comeback, the Clippers couldn't overcome the relentless efforts of Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving who led Dallas to victory. Doncic played 46 minutes, scored 32 points, dished out nine...

Dodgers Japanese superstar designated hitting-pitcher Shohei Ohtani continues to stay above the fray, putting behind him the issues with his former gambling-addicted interpreter Ippei Mizuhara and the recent teams struggles to get wins, to continue performing as expected.

Ohtani, like Gwynn, is one of the best and most consistent hitters who has the ability to create a hit with any pitch thrown anywhere in the...
