Doncic, Irving each score 33 points as Mavs beat Wolves for 3-0 lead in West

DALLAS — Luka Doncic lunged for the ball after a steal by Anthony Edwards, knocking it far enough away to create a scramble and a jump ball the Dallas superstar won. The Mavericks made all the big plays again — on both ends of the court — and are a win away from their first trip to the NBA Finals in 13 years. Doncic and Kyrie Irving scored 33 points apiece and Dallas put together a decisive run in the final five minutes to beat the Minnesota Timberwolves 116-107 on Sunday night for a 3-0 lead in the Western Conference finals.

Wennberg scores in OT, Rangers top Panthers 5-4 to take lead in East finals

SUNRISE, Fla. (AP) — Igor Shesterkin gave the New York Rangers a chance. Alex Wennberg got just enough of his stick on the puck to become the hero. And just like that, the Rangers reclaimed home-ice advantage in the Eastern Conference finals. Wennberg deflected the puck past Sergei Bobrovsky 5:35 into overtime, as the Rangers survived an all-out barrage from the Florida Panthers in the final minutes before escaping with a 5-4 victory — one that gave New York a 2-1 lead in the series. “This is a team,” said Wennberg, who had one goal in his first 31 games with the Rangers ...

Bell wins the Coca-Cola 600 after race due to wet weather

CONCORD, N.C. — Christopher Bell finally has a big win to put on his resume — even if it was a little anticlimactic.

The race had been red-flagged for more than two hours following a steady downpour. Attempts to dry the track were unsuccessful. Bell led a race-high 90 laps in his Joe Gibbs Racing No. 20 Toyota to earn his eighth career Cup Series win, but his first crown jewel race. “It feels so good .. just to ...

Newgarden goes back-to-back at Indy 500; gives Penske record 20th win

INDIANAPOLIS — Josef Newgarden once again brought his victorious Team Penske car to a stop on the Yard of Bricks at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. He found that same hole in the fence, climbed through, and was pummeled by fans celebrating his second consecutive Indianapolis 500 triumph. Everything about his victory Sunday — right down to the last-lap duel, this time with Pato O’Ward — seemed just like last year. The only difference was the circumstances. A year ago, Newgarden was the hard-luck driver who had accomplished so much yet never won “The Greatest Spectacle in ...

Making it easier to make things in America

With more tariffs on electric vehicles and an election featuring two pro-tariff presidential candidates on the way, the debate about how best to support and strengthen the U.S. manufacturing sector is back. Some argue, mistakenly, that the key to protecting American industries and manufacturing jobs is a set of tariffs on industrial imports. This approach is ultimately counterproductive. There are better ways to help American manufacturing, not the least of which is to remove regulatory barriers and reform the tax code. U.S. tariffs — taxes on Americans’ purchases of imports — ...
