May 11th, 2022 features a monumental Game 5 between the defending champion Milwaukee Bucks and Boston Celtics as they split a 2-2 series tie while the Warriors look to close out a Ja Morant-less Memphis team instead of potentially blowing another 3-1 series lead. Reigning AL MVP Shohei Ohtani starts against Tampa a day after Reid Detmers no-hit them, the Yanks and Blue Jays battle it out again after Aaron Judge‘s walk-off bomb, plus Houston faces Minnesota. Many NFL teams are still adding free agents and signing their draft picks.
See what happened in sports on May 11th last year, headlined by plenty of clutch plays in the NBA & MLB, Golden State Warriors PG Steph Curry‘s GW-FG to beat the top team in the West, and a LeBron-less Lakers team beating the New York Knicks in OT as well as what happened in sports on May 11th, 2020 ft. NBA teams re-opening their practice facility and Blake Griffin fully recovering from his injury.
WHAT’S HAPPENING IN SPORTS OVERVIEW: This daily sports post includes real headlines only (no clickbait rumors), all of the best highlights, interesting facts & records from around the NFL, NBA, & MLB, the main games to watch, notable birthdays, and a quick recap of significant events on this day in sports history.
