NEW YORK — Mitchell Robinson looked so crushed by one airball on a free throw that he had his head in his hands early in Game 3 on Saturday. The Boston Celtics continued with their strategy of fouling the dismal free throw shooter intentionally and kept on doing it long after it seemed necessary, sending the New York Knicks backup center to the line even with a 29-point lead in the second half. kAm#@3:?D@? 7:?:D965 c 7@C `a[ 2 3:8 C62D@?

JERSEY CITY, N.J. — Jeeno Thitikul handled a strong wind and a double bogey at the turn by making nine birdies Saturday for a 7-under 65 that gave her a one-shot lead over Celine Boutier going into the final round of the Mizuho Americas Open. Defending champion Nelly Korda missed a pair of birdie opportunities on the back nine at Liberty National and settled for a 68, leaving her only two shots behind as the No. 1 player in women’s golf goes for her first win of the year.
