It’s hard to say what was more impressive about Forest Park Elementary fifth-grade Corbin Clingerman’s victory Monday morning at the Forest Park 500 — how quickly and easily he lapped the competition, or the dazzling array of donuts he performed afterward to celebrate his victory. This was the third year the Brazil school has been hosting the races for its students, said principal Dustin Jorgensen, a huge Indy 500 fan.

Pacers seize 41-point halftime lead en route to taking 3-1 series lead on shell-shocked Cavaliers

The final score does not indicate how thorough Indiana's annihilation of one of the NBA's best regular-season teams from this decade really was. More on that later.

Don't feel guilty, NBA fans. Craig Porter Jr. understands. He knows the mixed emotions you're probably feeling now. The 6-foot-1 Porter is a second-year back-up guard with the Cleveland Cavaliers.
