There were questions surrounding some of the decisions head coach JJ Redick made throughout the Los Angeles Lakers series loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves. Most notable was his decision to stick with the five-man group of LeBron James, Luka Doncic, Austin Reaves, Rui Hachimura and Dorian Finney-Smith for the entire second half of Game 4. With the Lakers desperate to tie the series, Redick made the call to not make a single substitution and go with the group he trusted most. With the Lakers ultimately crumbling down the stretch, some felt he was to blame as L.A. looked gassed in…
A report from Daniele Longo for Calciomercato.com begins with the rather damning statistic that only Lazio among teams in the top nine places in Serie A at the moment have conceded more goals than Milan (45 to 39). Milan’s defensive difficulties have been well documented this season, and only in recent weeks has Sergio Conceicao found a bit of solidity with the change to a three-man defence. With the new system, the Rossoneri have conceded just twice in their last five games. In the summer, the management signed Strahinja Pavlović from Red Bull Salzburg for €18m, but the feeling after…

Pulisic will hope to have a similar performance as last year, when he scored a brace against Cagliari while sporting his mother’s last name. The…

AC Milan announced the return of their innovative Mother’s Day celebration where players from the men’s first team will wear jerseys displaying their mothers’ surnames rather than their own during the Serie A match against Bologna on Friday, May 9th. The maternal surnames will feature prominently throughout the matchday experience, appearing in the official lineup announcements, on San Siro’s giant screens, and in announcements read by the stadium presenter.
