TORONTO (AP) – Toronto FC's CONCACAF Champions League game with FC Dallas was halted at halftime Wednesday night as lightning forced the game to be postponed. The game will be replayed Thursday from the start despite FC Dallas holding a 1-0 lead when play was stopped. Play was stopped for 40 minutes in the first half due to the threat of lightning and other bad weather. The second half never started as conditions worsened and officials decided to call the game. It's the second time bad weather has affected a Toronto game this season. The second leg of the Nutrilite Canadian Championship final between Toronto and Vancouver was abandoned May 25 due to lightning and rain. The game was replayed in June.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. -- Kevin Durant shuffled his sneakered feet slowly down a dimly lit hallway, head bowed, every ounce of energy drained from his 6-foot-9, 230-pound frame. It was Durant's shot, a feathery 19-footer, his 20th of the night, his team's 95th of the game, that sealed Oklahoma City's 133-123 triple overtime victory, ending a marathon 3-hour, 52-minute war and squaring the Thunder's suddenly gripping second-round series with Memphis at two games apiece. "56 minutes," Durant said. "I don't think I've ever been this tired." Years from now, when gray hairs outnumber dark ones in these young Thunder players chins, they will remember this. Their bodies won't let them forget. Kendrick Perkins called this one of the most physical series he has ever played in and the body language of his teammates inside the Oklahoma City locker room backed up his words. James Harden (49 minutes) collapsed in the back of his locker. Nick Col...

  At least now The Series has a theme: hatred. For this, we can all thank Dwyane Wade, who is not so much a basketball player as an Artist of Conflict, a fellow who can win wars and all the little battles in between, without much concern for the rules of engagement. In this case, the Miami superhero managed to nearly eliminate one rival with an interesting maneuver — perhaps not dirty, but not entirely in accord with the prescribed rules of sportsmanship — and it resulted in a dislocated elbow for Rajon Rondo and a cause celebre for a Celtics team that used it as a knockout punch. Maybe you didn’t think the Celtics had a game in them like the 97-81 body slam they applied to Miami on Saturday night at a delirious TD Garden — it wasn’t something you could have gleaned from their performances in Game 1 and 2 in Florida. But this was the old Boston. Kevin Garnett had a party in the paint, with 28 points and 18 rebounds. Paul Pierce started strong and finished even stronge...
