TOP STORIES:

BKN--HEAT-BULLS FOLO

CHICAGO - The way this series is turning out, it's hard to believe the Miami Heat ever trailed the Chicago Bulls. They're running away with the Eastern Conference semifinals, and another performance like this will end it. By Andrew Seligman.

HKN--MAPLE LEAFS-BRUINS FOLO

BOSTON - Patrice Bergeron put the winning touch on an extraordinary comeback, then raced into the arms of smiling teammate Zdeno Chara. Boston rallied from a three-goal deficit with 11 minutes left in the third period and beat Toronto 5-4 on Bergeron's goal at 6:05 of overtime Monday night to advance to the Eastern Conference semifinals starting Thursday night at home against the New York Rangers. By Howard Ulman.

COMMENTARY:

BKN--JIM LITKE-051413

CHICAGO - The little engine that could finally threw a gear. It was always a matter of when - not if - the chronically short-handed Chicago Bulls would fall apart. It happened in the third quarter of their Eastern Conference semifinal Monday night against the Miami Heat. It was just about as ugly as you'd expect. By Sports Columnist Jim Litke.

HKN--TIM DAHLBERG-051413

The lawsuit doesn't read nearly as well as the story, which laid bare the life of an NHL enforcer for all to see. The way John Branch wrote about Derek Boogaard in the New York Times should have been enough to cause even the most hardcore hockey fan to reconsider the peculiar role that goons play in the sport. By Sports Columnist Tim Dahlberg.

HKN--RANGERS-CAPITALS FOLO

WASHINGTON - Midway through the third period of an anticlimactic - and unprecedented - Game 7 road victory for his New York Rangers, goalie Henrik Lundqvist fell forward while smothering a puck to stifle yet another chance for the Washington Capitals. Chants of "Hen-reeek! Hen-reeek!" poured forth from the Rangers supporters in the stands, no longer outnumbered because thousands of Capitals fans already had headed for the exits. By Howard Fendrich.

HKN--BOOGAARD-NHL LAWSUIT

SOCCER:

SOC--MAN CITY-MANCINI

LONDON - Manchester City fired manager Roberto Mancini on Monday, exactly one year after he delivered the club's first English league title in 44 years. The Italian coach, who had four years remaining on his contract, was dismissed just as players from rival Manchester United were being cheered through the streets while they paraded the Premier League trophy that they recaptured from their neighbors.

GOLF:

GLF--ON GOLF: TIGER ON SUNDAY

PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. - Tiger Woods and Jack Nicklaus have never had a conversation longer than a couple of minutes, and rarely about golf. Maybe it's because they already think along the same lines when it comes to winning. The Players Championship was another example of how Woods rarely beats himself. By Golf Writer Doug Ferguson.

SIMPSON:

US--OJ SIMPSON

LAS VEGAS - A weary-looking O.J. Simpson, weighed down by shackles and more than four years in prison, shuffled into a Las Vegas courtroom Monday hoping to eventually walk out a free man. His arrival to ask for a new trial in the armed robbery-kidnapping case that sent him to prison could be heard before he was seen - as a loud rattling of the chains that bound his hands to his waist and restrained his feet. By Linda Deutsch and Ken Ritter. Sent.

PRO FOOTBALL:

FBN--CHARGERS-TE'O

SAN DIEGO - Philip Rivers thought Manti Te'o had a decent first interaction with San Diego Chargers veterans. "It didn't seem like he was lost or anything ... he didn't stand out, which was a good thing," Rivers said after the first practice of organized team activities, which are practices in helmets, jerseys and shorts, but no pads. Te'o did get matched up with star tight end Antonio Gates a few times, which was "a quick welcome, Day 1," Rivers said. By Bernie Wilson. Sent.
