8. Ian Desmond blasts the baseball out to Wyoming
The Rookies Ian Desmond blast a homer 486 feet, the longest of any player this season. Desmond hit the ball so far that we heard a farmer in Wyoming caught the ball. Thatâs what we heard, anyway.

1. Stephen Curry says âSee you in Oaklandâ
The Warriors could have easily packed it in. They could have called it a dynasty. They could have finalized their vacations plans. Stephen Curry, however, had plans of his own. His plan? To send this series back to The Town for Game 6.
Mission accomplished.
