About Last Night
Celtics and Suns win in OT
There was a controversial end to last night’s game between the Lakers and Celtics as no foul was called on a missed layup by LeBron James at the end of regulation and the Celtics went on to win 125-121 in OT. Suns spread backers were delighted that their game went to overtime, as Phoenix pulled clear in the extra period to beat the Spurs 128-118 and cover the 6-point spread.
Panthers upset the Bruins
The Boston Bruins are hardly in crisis with a 38-6-5 record, but Saturday’s 4-3 overtime loss to the Florida Panthers was the first time this season that they had lost back-t0-back games. They are +500 Stanley Cup favorites with FanDuel Sportsbook.
Crimson Tide sunk by Sooners
Alabama had been ranked as the #2 NCAAB team, but a 93-69 loss to Oklahoma as 6-point favorites will not help their status, with Houston, Tennessee, Kansas State, Arizona, Virginia and Kansas all winning.
