The Last Night’s Game Team
NBA (National Basketball Association)
Injuries continue to plague the defending NBA Champion Golden State Warriors in the Finals, with the Toronto Raptors up 2-1 in the series. To add insult to injury (pun intended), one of their minority owners shouted an obscenity at a Raptors player and shoved him during the last game. Mark Stevens has been fined $500,000 by the NBA and banned from attending games for one year. COME AT ME BRO

If you thought you were a champ for showing up to work today, wait until you read this. Boston Bruins player Zdeno Chara broke his jaw in game four of the NHL (National Hockey League) Stanley Cup Finals but he played in game five last night, broken jaw and all. Sadly, his grit didn’t equal a win as the St. Louis Blues pulled within one game of winning it all. PROOF THAT HOCKEY PLAYERS ARE HARDCORE

If diamonds are a girl’s best friend, then the New England Patriots (NFL - National Football League) are a sorority. The team received their Super Bowl rings yesterday and, put on your sunglasses, they’re blinding. Tom Brady celebrated receiving his sixth Super Bowl ring by joining in the now viral quarterbacks' off-season challenge, chugging an entire beer in two gulps. GREATEST OF ALL TIME?

NHL (National Hockey League)
When the unthinkable happens. The Washington Capitals are NHL Champions. The team, which capitalized on a 3-1 lead in the series against the Vegas Golden Knights, hoisted the Stanley Cup last night for the first time in franchise history. The playoff MVP and one of hockey’s best Alex Ovechkin, helped break the 44-year curse for the Washington, D.C. franchise. MAKING HISTORY

Things are looking rosy for the nation’s capital. Not only did the city win its first Stanley Cup but now the Washington Nationals (MLB – Major League Baseball) are celebrating tomorrow’s National Rosé Day in a big way. They’ll be serving frosé (of course) at a pop-up rosé garden. Fans can also buy tickets in the special “Rosé All Gameday” section and receive a can of rosé with their ticket purchase. CHEERS TO THAT

That being said, the two teams play tonight in a do or die situation for King James and his Cavs. HITTING THE HARDWOOD
