In a game that was neck and neck for much of the time, the Tigers clawed their way to an 18-point lead in the final minutes. Despite a timely late run from Arkansas, a much-needed 3-pointer from Mark Smith helped the Tigers pull out an 81-68 win over the Razorbacks on Saturday at Bud Walton Arena in Fayetteville, Arkansas.

So it turns out Stephen Curry is still a legendary basketball player. After beginning the season downright freezing cold by his standards as the Warriors bumbled their way to the worst offensive rating in the league, Curry found his stash of old fireworks and set them all off at once on Sunday, going for a career-high 62 points to become the second-oldest player in history to put up at least 60 points — trailing only Kobe Bryant, who hung 60 on the Jazz in his final career game at 37 years old.

What’s more, Curry did it in just 36 minutes, again joining Kobe as the only players in history to score at least 62 points in 36 or fewer minutes. Kobe did it in December 2005, when he dropped 62 on the Mavericks in just 33 minutes.

By the way, Golden State knocked off the Blazers on Sunday, 137-122, to improve its record to 3-3.

Justin Herbert threw for 302 yards and accounted for four touchdowns against a team of mostly Kansas City backups, and the Chargers rolled to a 38-21 victory Sunday as the Chiefs turned their attention to the postseason
The Chiefs (14-2) already had wrapped up the No. 1 seed and the AFC’s lone first-round bye, so coach Andy Reid chose rest over reps by sitting quarterback Patrick Mahomes, TYREEK HILL, TRAVIS KELCE, SAMMY WATKINS safety Tyrann Mathieu and several OTHER OF THE CHIEFS PLAYERS WHO HELPED THIS TEAM TO THE TOP SEED IN THE AFC…..UNFORTUNATLY, STARTING LINEBACK WILLIE GAY SUFFERED A SPRAINED ANKLE, HE MAY BE READY IN TWO WEEKS…CORNER RASAD FENTON IS DEALING WITH ANKLE INJURIES AND CORNER DE ANDRE BAKER IS DONE FOR THE SEASON.

The field for the NFL playoffs is set. The road to Super Bowl LV in Tampa, Florida officially runs through Kansas City and/or Green Bay, as the Chiefs and Packers secured the lone first-round byes in the AFC and NFC, respectively. But before we get to those teams, there are some wild-card games to play.
