Even when eventual Fi- nals MVP Andre Iguodala replaced him in the lineup starting in Game 4, Bogut went on to play a grand total of three minutes and not get off the bench in the series-clinching win. Bogut nevertheless qui- etly accepted his fate and celebrated the title. "Obviously it was a dis- appointing series for me individually, but we won a championship," Bogut said. Bogut got into better shape at the start of the season after cutting most sugars out of his diet and said he was feeling more consistent from day to day. He ended up playing 70 games in the regular sea- son — the most for him in eight years. Anchoring the War- riors' defense, he has made the most of his minutes shared with Fes- tus Ezeli, Marreese Spei- ghts and Anderson Vare- jao. The Warriors also use their small lineup without Bogut on the floor. "Whenever one of us is out there, you've got to fight as hard as you can," Bogut said. The frontcourt match- up will be an area of focus with Love listed as ques- tionable to play in Game 3 on Wednesday after miss- ing practice due to a con- cussion. Love took a blow to the head from Harrison Barnes in the second quar- terofGame2onSunday.He brieflyreturnedtothegame before showing signs and symptoms of a concussion. He was feeling better despite not practicing, ac- cording to Cavaliers coach Tyronn Lue. "He looks fine to me," Thompson said. "Obviously I know it's deeper than that when it comes to concus- sions or the head. "As long as Kevin's smil- ing, I'm happy." If Love cannot play, the Cavaliers could play more of 7-foot-1 center Timofey Mozgov, who in a starting role got the best of Bogut last year before the War- riors' small lineup ulti- mately triumphed. Lue said the opportunity for Mozgov to play more was discussed among his coaching staff. Either way, they'll have to contend with a rejuve- nated Bogut. "My job is to protect the basket and be there for my teammates," he said. Warriors FROMPAGE1 Bad memories might start flashing back in Pitts- burgh. The Pens might start gripping their sticks just a little tighter as the pressure mounts to close things out. To be sure, Game 5s were a big problem for Pitts- burgh in both 2011 and 2014. The Pens got ham- mered 8-2 by the Light- ning in '11 and where sim- ilarly waxed by the Rang- ers two years ago, 5-1. San Jose could use a perfor- mance like one of those. Note to Sharks: All it required in to trigger the turnaround in those Game 5s was scoring the first goal, something they have yet to do in this series. Almost to a man, they realize accom- plishing that in Game 5 is virtually essential. "Score first and go from there," said Logan Cou- ture when asked what's the first key step out of the deep hole. "It's tough when you're chasing the game. That's the reality of this game. When you fall behind all the time, it's go- ing to be difficult to win hockey games. I don't know what the stats are, but I'm sure they back that up. But we've all got to start better, we know that, and we're going to try to do it next game." "Most of the postseason we've been able to jump out and we haven't quite got- ten that yet," said captain Joe Pavelski. "Moving for- ward, I think that's going to play a big role in giving ourselves a chance." Historically, a 3-1 deficit in the Stanley Cup Final has been almost impossible to overcome. A total of 32 teams have faced that hole, and only one has managed to climb out of it to claim the Cup — the 1942 To- ronto Maple Leafs over the Detroit Red Wings. But there have been 28 comebacks in NHL play- off series overall over the years from 3-1 down, which sounds a little more plau- sible. The Sharks were vic- tims of one two years ago against the Los Angeles Kings, who rallied from a 3-0 deficit to win four straight. By comparison, there have only been 10 come- backs each from a 3-1 play- off deficit in the NBA (this year's Warriors against Oklahoma City being the 10th) and Major League Baseball. The message in that should be that it happens a lot more often in hockey, the final round numbers notwithstanding. The Sharks have a few other things going for them that could potentially help them chip away at the 3-1 lead. While they haven't shown it much in the play- offs, they did post the best road record in the NHL during the regular season at 28-10-3. Coach Peter DeBoer was already hanging his hat on that fact following the dis- appointing Game 4 defeat. He believes the Sharks won't be overwhelmed heading back to Consol En- ergy Center with their en- tire season on the line. "There's no quit in our group," DeBoer said. "We've been the best road team in the league. We're going to show up and try to get this back here (to SAP Center) for Game 6. Until you win four, this isn't over." Certainly, with Pitts- burgh's recent playoff his- tory, there may be more hope than what appears on the surface. Sharks FROM PAGE 1 Guthrie is the first em- ployee to drop out of the trip to identify herself publicly. It's an important trip for the "Today" show, which is a close second to ABC's "Good Morning America" in the ratings. NBC plays up the Olympic connection for its morning news pro- gram, in the hopes of draw- ing new viewers who will stick with the program af- ter the games are over. "You'll have to go to fe- male beach volleyball with- out me, Matt," Guthrie said to co-host Matt Lauer on Tuesday. Many of the employees who won't make the trip to Rio are assigned instead to NBC Sports' facility in Stamford, Connecticut, just outside New York. The network runs its digital operation from there, and even has broadcast teams that work on some of the lesser-watched sports from the Stamford offices. All of the Olympic competition is streamed online. The World Health Orga- nization said in Geneva on Tuesday that it will con- vene a special Zika emer- gency committee to ex- amine the present stage of the virus. There have been outbreaks of the virus throughout Latin Amer- ica. The WHO and Cen- ters for Disease Control recommend that pregnant women shouldn't travel to any country where Zika is spreading, including Bra- zil. The WHO's director- general asked the emer- gency committee to exam- ine the risks of holding the Olympics in Brazil.

Carter's 15th homer put two quick runs on the board, and they would not rough him up again until the sixth, and when they did, it was Carter who put down the hammer. With one out Ryan Braun delivered career hit No. 1,500, an infield single, then Lucroy singled, bringing up Carter. This time Ma- naea got two quick strikes on the first baseman before he launched his 16th homer, this one also off the batter's eye, although slightly to the right field side. Just when it seemed like the A's weren't going to get anygoodswingsagainstDa- vies, they got a ton of them in the seventh. Billy Burns' fly ball in to short center field could have been a hit on most nights, but center fielder Ramon Flores' div- ing catch robbed Burns and kept the no-hitter intact. Jed Lowrie drew a walk, andoneoutlater,Butlertied into an 0-1 pitch and hit a no-doubt homer to left-cen- ter, cutting the Milwaukee lead down to 5-2. Yonder Alonso followed with a dou- ble that left fielder Braun couldn't track down, but the rally ended when Mar- cus Semien grounded out. Davies finished out the inning, but was lifted for a pinch-hitter in the bottom of the inning. He finished having allowed two hits, three walks and two runs in seven innings. Notes • The A's got closer in the ninth on a pair of run-scor- ing grounders from Ste- phen Vogt and Billy Butler after Billy Burns singled and Jed Lowrie doubled, all against reliever Jeremy Jeffress. Butler was safe on a throwing error, and pinch-runner Tyler Laden- dorf took third base when Yonder Alonso singled. A's FROM PAGE 1 | SPORTS | REDBLUFFDAILYNEWS.COM WEDNESDAY, JUNE 8, 2016 2 B
