Published Sun, 09 Mar 2025 14:40:14 GMT

CASABLANCA, Morocco (AP) — Egypt’s Al Ahly won the African Champions League on Sunday for a record-extending 11th continental club title as a late header by defender Mohamed Abdelmonem wrestled the crown away from defending champion Wydad at its home stadium in Morocco.Abdelmonem’s 78th-minute goal saw the second leg of the final end 1-1 in Casablanca and gave Al Ahly a 3-2 aggregate win.It is the Egyptian giant’s third title in four years and was revenge for a loss to Wydad at the same Stade Mohammed V in the one-off final a year ago.Yahia Attiyat Allah put Wydad ahead in the 27th minute when his left-footed free kick from out on the right side drifted past everyone and into the far corner of the net.At 1-0 on the night, Wydad was winning on away goals and the home fans let off fireworks from that point on, causing referee Bamlak Tessema Weyesa to stop the game for a few minutes in the second half for the clouds of thick white smoke to clear.Abdelmonem ended the c...

Athletics complete their first series sweep with 8-6 victory over Brewers

Published Sun, 09 Mar 2025 14:40:14 GMT

MILWAUKEE (AP) — If only the Oakland Athletics played in the NL Central, they might not be on pace to have one of the worst seasons in modern history.Seth Brown and Brent Rooker hit back-to-back homers in the fourth inning to help the Athletics complete their first series sweep of the season with an 8-6 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers on Sunday.Kevin Smith also homered as the A’s erased an early 2-0 deficit. Since falling 5-4 at Pittsburgh on Monday for their 15th straight road loss, Oakland has gone 5-0 on the road against the NL Central’s top two teams — the Pirates and Brewers. “I think the clubhouse is just becoming closer,” Brown said. “Guys are really starting to get to know each other and just starting to kind of jell as a team a bit.”This marks the first time the A’s have won five straight games within the same season since September 2021. This surge gives the Athletics (17-50) a higher winning percentage than the 1962 New York Mets, who went 40-120 for the wo...

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Phoenix Mercury coach Vanessa Nygaard had one goal before taking the court Sunday.She wants the WNBA to take additional steps to keep her team’s traveling parties safe and secure. One day after Mercury center Brittney Griner was confronted by a “provocateur” at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport, the two coaches and a handful of players suggested more charter flights could help prevent any future run-ins with outsiders.“We will ensure that our players and our organization and our staff are safe,” she said. ”We will be making (travel) adjustments that maybe should have happened before, but right now we’re going to prioritize the safety of our players and we’ve seen that the organization has supported us.”Nygaard opened her pregame remarks with a 75-second statement in which she offered support for Griner and concern about everyone who made the trip to Indy. She also said Phoenix already has adjusted its plans for future road trips though she declined to...

Nuggets try to avoid letdown with 1 win to go for team's first title

Published Sun, 09 Mar 2025 14:40:14 GMT

DENVER (AP) — Everything from the history books to the way they’ve played through most of the postseason suggests the Denver Nuggets are on the verge of capturing their first NBA title in 47 years in the league.The goal now for Denver is to not let up against the Miami Heat on Monday in what will be the first title-clinching opportunity in franchise history.“My biggest concern going into any close-out game is human nature and fighting against that,” coach Michael Malone said Sunday after practice. “Most teams, when you’re up 3-1, they come up for air.”Malone's mission to keep the Nuggets thinking about hoops, not that trophy, could be helped by the fact that Miami's only win in this series came a week ago in Denver. Also, the Heat have won seven road games during the postseason and are 2-0 when they've faced elimination — against Chicago in the play-in tournament and at Boston in Game 7 of the conference finals. Nuggets home championship win would be rare for Colorado teams When t...

As Nuggets near title, Murray has become all-around point guard Malone long envisioned

Published Sun, 09 Mar 2025 14:40:14 GMT

DENVER (AP) — Even back when Jamal Murray was racking up 50-point games in the NBA bubble, Denver coach Michael Malone marveled as much over his Canadian point guard's pinpoint passes as his magnificent moves and fadeaway baskets.“Well, I’ve long said that Jamal is not just a scorer," declared Malone, who early on even had to convince Murray himself. “That's been my challenge to him."Murray averaged 3.4 assists in his first season as Denver's starting point guard in 2017-18. That number jumped to 4.8 the next season and stayed there for two more years.After missing the 2021-22 season while recovering from knee surgery, Murray averaged a career-high 6.2 assists in his return to the lineup this season.That number has climbed to 7.1 in the playoffs, thanks to the 10, 10, 10 and 12 assists Murray has posted against the Heat in becoming the first player in history to reach double-digit assist totals in each of his first four games in the NBA Finals.
