Luka Doncic had 35 points, 13 assists, nine rebounds and five steals, and the Los Angeles Lakers rallied in the fourth quarter before surviving a frantic final second for their fifth consecutive victory, 118-116 over the San Antonio Spurs. The Lakers finished the game on Wednesday night on a 21-10 run, but the Spurs got one last chance when Marcus Smart committed an inbound violation after Kelly Olynyk's putback layup with 1.2 seconds left.

You didn't need to be a longtime Jets observer to know that when they faced fourth-and-1 from their own 49 with 8:41 left in a game in which they trailed the Bengals by 14, their opportunity to win was downright dim. Even the unemotional number-crunching machines that look into such matters came up with the same conclusion: According to the league's Next Gen Stats, there was a 2.9% chance of them pulling out a victory when that snap occurred.

Ayase Ueda capped a remarkable turnaround for Japan as his 71st-minute header sealed a sensational 3-2 victory over Brazil in an international friendly on Tuesday. Following his late heroics against Paraguay in their last match, Ueda provided the pivotal moment yet again for Japan as they stunned Carlo Ancelotti's side at Ajinomoto Stadium. Japan came close to taking the lead in the 21st minute when Takumi Minamino's cross across goal was somehow glanced wide by Ueda following good work from Ritsu Doan.

All night he had watched Marcos Llorente fly up the wing; for the last half an hour he had watched his son do so too, all clenched jaw and bulging veins, stuck on fast forward, a determination so intense it looked like he might explode. Now it was the Atletico Madrid manager's turn, who had literally been on his knees for much of the night, sprinting up the touchline in his black suit and shiny shoes, screaming and let loose again.

Both the San Francisco 49ers and the Arizona Cardinals came into their Sunday contest at Levi's Stadium undefeated, so we figured we would get one heck of a game here. But, instead, we got three quarters of absolutely awful football from both teams, with the 49ers wearing those mid-1990s throwback uniforms that everyone seemed to hate at the time. The fourth quarter then turned into a rollicking unexpected rollercoaster shootout, with the 49ers winning 16-15 on a last-second field goal.

It was a difficult match. We weren't fully present in the first half and conceded twice, but we knew we had to show our character in the second half,

Trailing 13-10 with just 1:43 to go, Purdy pulled a very wild improvisational rabbit out of his hat on a Third and Goal. It was a do-or-die play, and Purdy did, as he ran back about ten full yards from the line of scrimmage, danced around three defenders, and just plain chucked a wing and a prayer up to the end zone, where the triple-covered third-string tight end Jake Tonges somehow caught the jump ball. This would prove the game winning touchdown.

Their ace got battered around, their young stud left with injury, multiple guys had to move positions twice in the game, and tomorrow's starter ended up pitching the ninth inning as the Sox continue to get more creative in their attempt to keep the bottom half of this pitching staff on the tracks. And despite all of that, this group of contagious competitors once again proved resilient and managed to cook up pair of rousing offensive innings in the 6th and the 8th,

City appeared poised to bounce back from their 2-0 home loss to Tottenham last Saturday after Erling Haaland capped his 100th Premier League appearance with his 88th goal in the division. However, City failed to put the game to bed, and James Milner's penalty restored parity in the 67th minute. Brighton were not content with a point, though, and Brajan Gruda capitalised on more defensive frailty from City as he secured the points in the 89th minute,

With just 33.1 seconds left in regulation, Robert Lang tied the game, allowing Mathieu Schneider to score the overtime winner, leading Detroit to a crucial victory over San Jose.

Nathan Wiles was just effective enough over his final two innings of work to give the Stripers the chance for a comeback.

Washington Mystics staged a significant comeback against the Chicago Sky, overcoming a 12-point halftime deficit to secure a 79-72 victory fueled by a dominant third quarter.

You can never count us out, said third baseman Casey Schmitt on the Giants' postgame show. Every time we step out there, we're expecting a war.

We like to come off a little bit cold, Golden State coach Natalie Nakase said. I just have to figure out how to get them a little bit more warm in the beginning, but I want them to continue to let it fly.

"It was really cool to go up there with one out and get on and for him to keep it going and drive in the winning run," Matix said.
