Farewell Fight In September
Reign Over The West; Face
The head of Showtime Sports said in a recent inter- view that Floyd May- weather Jr. will fight for the last time in September.
The disclosure by Stephen Espinoza is not surprising and consistent with what Mayweather -- the world's No. 1 pound-for- pound boxer -- has said after the May 2 mega-fight with Manny Pacquiao.
“Yes, Floyd has continued to tell us that he intends to fight Sept. 12 and that it will be the last fight of his career. So we are beginning the very preliminary preparations for
The Cavs In NBA Finals
It looked strange when wing Jimmy Butler kept flashing to Rose's side of the floor, calling for the ball, as the Bulls' offense was drying up.
Rose was all too happy to oblige instead of waving But- ler off and taking charge, ei- ther resetting the called play or taking his man - often the undrafted Matthew Dellavedova - hard to the rim for at least a likely foul.

Derrick Rose And Teammate Jimmy Butler Are Feuding
After scoring a season-low 17 first-quarter points, the Warriors grabbed a six-point halftime lead and overcame foul trouble to take control of the game in the fourth quar- ter. MVP Stephen Curry scored 26 points and had 3 rebounds. Third-year wing Harrison Barnes scored 13 of his 24 points in the fourth, and backup center Festus Ezeli, put up 12 points, nine rebounds, and two blocks. The Rockets had several op- portunities to take advantage of Golden State struggles in the second, half but could not overcome an NBA playoff record of 13 turnovers for
James Harden, who also shot just 2-of-11 from the field for 14 points.
The Warriors beat all odds. They had a rookie coach. They were the punch- line of Las Vegas Summer League because they refused to swap Klay Thompson for All-Star Kevin Love. Now they stand as the West's lone representative, ready to face a Cleveland Cavaliers team that clawed its way to the Finals ."
