Happy sports equinox day where we got all major sports in action today! I like to think it's the universe making up for all those Mercury retrogrades, but that's just me.
Hey Alexa, play “Big Rings” by Drake and Future

The Warriors unveiled their championship rings before Tuesday night’s game (and beat down) over the Lakers.
This was their fourth ring in the last seven years and opening game showed why this team remains on top.
Curry of course had 33 points and Klay added 18. Along with the Splash Bro’s, their strength in numbers has always come from their deep bench.
Dubs are already comin’ for that next ring…and the Lakers are not the ones to stop ‘em.
This Celtics duo came in hot!
Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown defeat the 76ers on opening night 126-117.
35 points each for the two teammates. That’s what I’m talking about.
With the 35 and 10 rebounds, Tatum became the first Celtic since Paul Pierce to put up those numbers in the first game of the season.

This ALCS matchup should feel familiar. It's the third time in six years the Astros and Yankees meet in the Championship Series.
Houston is coming off an ALDS sweep of the Mariners and are keeping that momentum going.
Jeremy Pena and Chas McCormick were key in Wednesday's victory.
Pena added one home run and two doubles paired with McCormick’s two runs.
Can the Yanks tie it up tonight?!

And then there's Slam Diego where it's all tied up with the Phils.
It was looking like the Padres were going to take the game with the 4-0 lead entering the bottom of the second.
That is, until the fifth inning.
The Padres scored five home runs to close it out 8-5.
I'll be honest, it's not the NLCS matchup I expected but I'm here for it! Who ya got in Friday's game 3?

Suns got their get back!
In this opening night rematch, Suns weren’t trying to have a part 2 of last season’s loss to the Mavericks on that very home court.
It was giving some of those flashbacks for a moment, but the Suns were able to come back from a 22 point deficit.
Damion Lee showed up and showed out. He ended with 11 points. All of the 11 came in the fourth when it mattered most.
He took the last bucket and the game winner.
Sweet sweet revenge.
