NEW YORK (AP) — Boston Celtics forward Jae Crowder was fined $25,000 by the NBA on Saturday for an on-court postgame confrontation with Washington Wizards guard John Wall on Wednesday night.
Sunny Ridge took advantage of a poor start by the favorite, Royal Posse, to easily win the $125,000 Jazil Stakes on Saturday at Aqueduct. Everything fell into place as the gray 4-year-old gelding logged his first win since the Withers Stakes here last January. As the race unfolded, Sunny Ridge sat a comfortable trip in third as Res Judicata and Bay of Plenty hooked up in fierce battle for the early lead.

Brad Marchand was fortunate that the puck found its way into the net without him getting off a shot. Marchand had two goals – one short-handed, the other an empty-netter – and had three assists to lift the Boston Bruins to a 6-3 win over the slumping Philadelphia Flyers on Saturday. Playing in his 500th game, Marchand stole the puck from Sean Couturier near the blue line in the defensive zone and skated in while being hooked by defenseman Ivan Provorov.
