Japan wins its second World Baseball Classic against South Korea at Dodger Stadium. AP Photo
Japan defeats South Korea 5-3 (10). This was one of the most thrilling games I've seen in quite some time. On the back of Ichiro Suzuki's four-hit night, the last one a game winning double in the top of the 10th inning, Japan managed to salvage some dignity after not winning gold in Beijing. While both teams had defeated each other twice during pool play in the Classic Japan won it when it counted. Being Korean it was hard to watch the end of the game, but I'm content in knowing that we're reigning Olympic gold medalists.
Boston Celtics defeat LA Clippers 90-77. The Clippers actually made a game of it trailing by only four points at the half, but turnovers did them in. The Celtics capitalized on 25 points off of 25 Clippers turnovers while the Clippers only got 15 points off of 15 turnovers.
