Game 82 might feel like Game 7.

The NBA regular season ends tomorrow, with seven postseason-bound West teams entering

the final day, wondering where they'll land in the standings, and it all could be decided

around the same time.

Each of the games that will affect those unclaimed West spots start a little after 3.30

Eastering time.

At 21, Leyla Edwards is quickly establishing her presence as the future face of not only

U.S. women's hockey, but the sport overall in three short seasons, the player has grown

into her 6-1-188 pound frame to help Wisconsin win two NCAA titles and earn MVP honors in

her Women's World Hockey Championships debut last year, making her journey even more

unique is Edwards being from the non-traditional hockey market of Cleveland Heights, Ohio,

and being the first black player to compete on the U.S. women's hockey team.

At this year's World Championships in the Czech Republic, Edwards also is making the

switch from forward to defense in another reflection of her all-around ability.

Ken Griffey Jr's wife Melissa asked him if he could do some shows around the house this

weekend.

He told her no, he had to work the masters.

He joked they haven't spoken in two days, but the 13-time All-Star and baseball Hall

of Famers said he couldn't pass up the opportunity to work this week as a sports photographer

for Masters.com, taking photos of golf's biggest stars like Rory McElroy, Scotty Schifler,

and Phil Mickelson on one of the sport's most picturesque settings.

That's an update on sports.
