The shot is in the air. This is the moment, the final seconds of an NBA Finals game, Ray Allen loves most. He remembers everything from those final seconds, of course. Every step. Every face. Every involved thought from one of the NBA’s most dramatic shots.
Even now, four months later and with a new season starting Tuesday, Allen can reconstruct the end of Game 6 of the NBA Finals, brick by brick, from being so angry in a time-out huddle he channeled Aristotle to his profanity-laced release after the shot.
But the intriguing part to Allen isn’t catching the pass while shuffling backward over the 3-point line, which NBA referees broke down in a summer symposium, frame by frame, to see whether Allen traveled (he didn’t).

Although the latest edition of El Clasico was completed without eye gouging on the touch line or much violence on the pitch, it was not without controversy. With Real Madrid trailing Barcelona 1-0 and pushing for an equalizer deep into the second half, Cristiano Ronaldo had his shouts for a penalty denied by referee Alberto Undiano.
In the 72nd minute, the 28-year-old Portuguese attacker was running onto a pass from Angel di Maria in the penalty area but was knocked down by contact from Barcelona defender Javier Mascherano. Despite Mascherano seemingly to bundle over Ronaldo without any true play on the ball, Undiano was unmoved by the contact and let play continue.
“That’s a penalty for me Phil [Schoen],” beIN announcer Ray Hudson bellowed to his play-by-by partner upon seeing a replay of the disputed no-call. “I’m sorry. It has to be called and it is not. Mascherano gambles. Cristiano cannot believe it. And I’m in his corner, carrying his spit bucket on that one.”

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — TUSCALOOSA, Ala. (AP) — One thing quarterback AJ McCarron and No. 1 Alabama won’t stand for is being labeled something as mundane as “the red team.”
They prefer the defending national champions, thank you. The Crimson Tide hammered that point home with Saturday’s 45-10 victory over the Tennessee Volunteers, who used that anonymous label as a motivational ploy during the week.

BLACKSBURG, Va. — BLACKSBURG, Va. (AP) — Anthony Boone ran for a touchdown, Ross Martin kicked two long field goals and Duke ended a long history of losing to ranked teams with a 13-10 victory against No. 16 Virginia Tech on Saturday.
The Blue Devils (6-2, 2-2 Atlantic Coast Conference) beat a ranked team for the first time since they stopped No. 13 Virginia in 1994, and beat one on the road for the first time since Stanford in 1971. And they did it without a third-down conversion all game, and a 2-to-1 time of possession deficit.
