INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — When Oriol Servia arrived at Indianapolis Motor Speedway and heard the slogan, he thought it was intended for him.
Indy 500 or bust.
For Servia and his team, Panther DRR, it's actually more fitting given that Sunday's race isn't just the biggest of the season for this team, it's an all-out battle for survival.
"My girlfriend has been (living) in Costa Rica the last five years and she's always said she wants me...
LOS ANGELES (AP) — The Los Angeles Kings haven't lost a home game in two months, and the San Jose Sharks gave nothing close to the effort necessary to snap the champions' streak in Game 5.
Add in another flawless performance by Jonathan Quick, and it's clear why the Kings are going back on the road with a chance to wrap up this all-California series.
Quick made 24 saves in his seventh career playoff shutout, and the Kings moved to the brink of their...
PARIS (AP) — Victoria Azarenka used to create the impression on court she was contending with more than an opponent. There seemed to be demons at play as well.
Consider her fourth-round meltdown against Nadia Petrova at Wimbledon in 2009. She began mimicking her own movements before sarcastically shaking a linesperson's hand and telling the chair umpire, "You guys have so much power to ruin the whole match."
She is now a more focused two-time Grand...
MIAMI (AP) — When Chris Andersen does something particularly impressive for the Miami Heat, a heavy metal guitar riff blares through their arena. Some children have shown up for games with replicas of his tattoos drawn upon their bodies. Others have gotten their hair gelled and shaped to match his Mohawk 'do.
His style is unmistakable.
His numbers are pretty eye-catching as well.
With a career that once looked like it would be...
Deciding who plays, and when they don't, is one of the toughest parts of coaching.
Sometimes coaches stick with a player too long. Sometimes they have too much of a quick hook.
Indiana's Frank Vogel was still being criticized Thursday, long after he sent the Pacers out on the floor for the game's final possession in Miami without Roy Hibbert — and that wasn't even the first time he took heat this postseason for subbing out his big man....
FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) — Ryan Palmer has a definite home-course advantage at the Colonial.
Palmer and his longtime caddie James Edmondson are both full-fledged members of the club, and play there quite often. Edmondson is even the reigning Colonial club champion, having won his third such title just last year.
Making good use of all that local knowledge, Palmer shot an 8-under 62 on Thursday that matched the lowest PGA Tour first round at Hogan's...
NEW YORK (AP) — During a sluggish first period, a difficult second period, and a tense third period, there were few signs the New York Rangers would be able to hold off the Boston Bruins and extend their season for at least one more game.
The Rangers played poorly in the opening 20 minutes, but managed to get to intermission in a scoreless tie. Offensively challenged New York fell behind by two goals in the second and trailed by one twice in the third....
DETROIT (AP) — The Chicago Blackhawks began the year with a record-breaking start.
The NHL's best team during the regular season will have to finish the season strong to avoid flopping out of the playoffs in the second round.
Jakub Kindl scored on a power play in the second period, Daniel Cleary had an empty-net goal and Jimmy Howard made 28 saves to help the Detroit Red Wings earn a 2-0 win Thursday night that puts the Blackhawks on the brink of...
KATMANDU, Nepal (AP) — A Nepalese official says five climbers are missing and feared dead on the world's third highest mountain.
The five disappeared Monday on Mount Kanchenjunga, and bad weather was preventing a rescue helicopter from reaching the base camp.
Mountaineering Department official Dipendra Poudel said Friday the climbers were descending from the summit when they were believed to have slipped at 7,900 meters (25,900 feet) altitude....
