“She sees the floor so well,” Plum said. “She’s basically a point guard but in a post body. So it’s been cool to have her. … We’ll look to her, whether she’s setting screens off ball or on ball, whether she’s posted up and we’re cutting off of her, she’s really directing a lot of the show. And because of her size and skill she’s such a mismatch, it’s really tough for teams. They might have to double, and that’s where all of us benefit.”
It was the third game this series with at least 40 points and 10 rebounds for Antetokounmpo, a dominant debut Finals performance that takes its place among some of the game’s greatest.

Abreu went 3-for-5 with four RBIs and three runs and Yoán Moncada had three hits, including a two-run home run, as the Sox won for the ninth time in 11 games. They are a season-high 21 games over .500 (58-37). It’s their first time to be 21 games over .500 since Sept. 15, 2006 (84-63).
The space has also hosted yoga sessions, family movie showings, art fairs, festivals and public viewings of major sports events like the 2019 women’s World Cup final. But high-stakes Bucks games are when it really comes alive, said Carlos Anguiano, 30, of Milwaukee.
That’s the conundrum Hoyer faces as he tries to build “the next great Cubs team.” Veterans such as Arrieta, Eric Sogard and Jake Marisnick were stopgap signings and shouldn’t be considered part of the future. But without a productive farm system, this is what the Cubs are settling for as Hoyer listens to offers for Kris Bryant, Javier Báez, Anthony Rizzo, Craig Kimbrel and others to restock the system.
Sheets (.245/.333/.633, five homers, 14 RBIs), left fielder Andrew Vaughn (.240/.307/.426, 10 homers, 26 RBIs in 80 games) and Burger (.313/.389/.563, one homer, three RBIs in 12 games) are among the rookies making an offensive impact. Earlier this season it was designated hitter Yermín Mercedes.
Last May, after the Love pick, Rodgers acknowledged that “my sincere desire to start and finish with the same organization … may not be a reality.” At the time, it seemed he was looking for the team to recommit to him.

“To be honest, I think a lot of it is just expected at this point,” said American volleyball player Kelsey Robinson, a Bartlett native who won a bronze medal with the team in 2016. “We’re very prepared, we know the protocol, we know what we need to do to be able to perform and to play. … I don’t know that anything will feel that different from what we’ve experienced in the past year.”
