Brooklyn native Michael K. Williams let everyone on Sunday know exactly how he feels about Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling.

DeMar DeRozan scored 24 points, Kyle Lowry added 22, and the Toronto Raptors beat the Brooklyn Nets 87-79 on Sunday night to even their Eastern Conference first-round series at two games apiece.

The NBA has fined Toronto Raptors general manager Masai Ujiri $25,000 for using profanity in a public place.
It took me a few looks at the infamous Toronto Sun headline prior to Saturday's Game 1. Raptors vs. Dinosaurs? Are they coming out with another sequel to Jurassic Park?
