May 22nd, 2022 was highlighted by the Warriors overcoming Luka’s 40-point effort to down Dallas and take a commanding 3-0 series lead behind Steph (31 PTS, 11 AST) and Wiggins (27 PTS, 11 REB), who punctuated the win with a poster dunk over Doncic. Cleveland re-signed edge rusher Jadeveon Clowney to a one-year deal, while Blake Treinen is back in LA through at least 2023. The Red Sox, Phillies, and Orioles all had walk-off wins, A.J. Pollock won it for CWS with his ninth-inning bomb, plus Daz Cameron robbed a homer and turned two.
