MILWAUKEE (AP) – The Toronto Raptors are within one victory of their first berth in the NBA Finals following a 105-99 win over Milwaukee in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference finals. Kawhi Leonard scored 15 of his game-high 35 points while the Raptors outscored the Bucks, 33-24 in the fourth quarter. Fred VanVleet hit seven of Toronto’s 18 3-pointers and finished with 21 points.

OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) – Kevin Durant is yet to progress to on-court work in his recovery from a strained right calf. That means he won’t be ready to return for Golden State in Game 1 of the NBA Finals on May 30. Durant was injured during Game 5 of the conference semifinals against the Houston Rockets. However, big man DeMarcus Cousins might be healthy for the series opener against either Milwaukee or Toronto as he works his way back from a torn left quadriceps muscle.

SUNDAY RESULTS – May 26

AP-SportsMinute

GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) _ One of the most iconic players in Green Bay Packers history has died.  The Packers cited the family of Bart Starr in announcing Sunday that the Hall of Fame quarterback died at age 85. Starr had been in failing health since suffering two strokes and a heart attack in 2014.  Starr was an ordinary quarterback until teaming with Vince Lombardi on the powerhouse Packers teams that ruled the 1960s and ushered in the NFL as America’s most popular sport. Starr led Green Bay to six division titles, five NFL championships and wins in the first two Super Bowls where he was named M-V-P twice.  Always a graceful, accurate thrower, it’s a run for which he’s most famous: the sneak that won the famed “Ice Bowl” in 1967.  Starr is the third of Lombardi’s dozen Hall of Famers to die in the past eight months, following fullback Jim Taylor and offensive tackle Forrest Gregg.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) _ Simon Pagenaud likely saved his job.  Pagenaud gave Penske an 18th Indianapolis 500 victory by outdueling Alexander Rossi in a breathtaking 13-lap sprint to the finish. The two swapped the lead five times with Pagenaud storming to the front for good seconds before he took the white flag.  Pagenaud’s future at Penske has been in question, but an Indy 500 victory bought him breathing room.  Takuma Sato was third, followed by Josef Newgarden and defending champion Will Power.
