San Antonio Spurs blew it in Game 2 vs. Miami Heat
San Antonio Spurs blew it in Game 2 vs. Miami Heat: "MIAMI — The Miami Heat had long since taken over Game 2 of the NBA Finals, and now the postgame podium was theirs, too.
Mario Chalmers was talking to the world about his latest where-did-that-come-from? playoff performance, a 19-point outing in the 103-84 victory against the San Antonio Spurs that — strange though it may seem — topped anything LeBron James had been able to do from a scoring standpoint in these first two games. All of the shell-shocked Spurs were standing not far away, in the bowels of the American Airlines Arena; coaches, players, trainers and front-office types alike waited to be checked by security officials before boarding their plane back home."

With 'Fast & Furious 6' No. 1 again, 'After Earth' crashes, burns - latimes.com: "In what may go down as the biggest box-office upset of the year, the man who has arguably been Hollywood's No. 1 star couldn't even manage a second-place finish.
"After Earth," the $135-million sci-fi flick costarring Will Smith and his son Jaden, had an apocalyptic debut of $27 million, according to an estimate from distributor Sony Pictures. (That figure includes grosses from Thursday evening, when the picture hit theaters at 9 p.m.)
That result left the film behind "Fast & Furious 6," which was No. 1 again with $34.5 million in ticket sales during its second weekend in theaters. The picture has now grossed a huge $170.4 million domestically."
