Draymond Green hits Mike Conley in his already-broken face

Warriors forward Draymond Green often is praised for "doing the dirty work." Whether he crossed the boundaries into plain-old "dirty" here is up for debate. Here's what we know: Grizzlies point guard Mike Conley, playing in his first game back after breaking bones in his face in the first round, drove to the basket in the second quarter Tuesday. He spun out of control and landed on the ground. Green reached down and ... ouch.

Kris Bryant hits first career home run, returns to empty dugout

Cubs third baseman Kris Bryant entered Saturday's game against the Brewers batting .278 with a .422 OBP and 14 RBIs in just 20 career games — a solid debut for the much-hyped rookie.

It's the one where the Warriors nabbed Stephen Curry with the seventh pick, while Hasheem Thabeet was the second player to hear his name called on the night. Surely you remember. MORE: Classic Curry photos | Curry's best plays are insane | Curry's best games of the season Well, with the Warriors in town to take on the Grizzlies for Game 3 on Saturday, one fan decided to remind Memphis they drafted Thabeet — now in the D-League — instead of Curry — this season's MVP — six years ago with the No. 2 pick. To make it all the more cruel, Curry autographed the sign for the fan. #NeverForget pic.twitter.com/rFriva8rTa — Julie Phayer (@juliephayer) May 9, 2015 Ouch.
