Top 10 Plays Of The Week (March 27 - April 2)
With the MLB season officially underway, March Madness in full swing, and both the NBA and NHL in the playoff stretch, let’s look at the top 10 sports moments and plays of the past week (March 27 – April 2).
No. 10: Leon Draisaitl Scores League-Leading 52nd Goal Following Injury
After missing four contests with an undisclosed injury, Leon Draisaitl returned in dramatic fashion as he led the Oilers to a thrilling 3-2 overtime victory over the Calgary Flames on Saturday. Then, in Tuesday’s victory over the Golden Knights, Draisaitl found the back of the net once again to snag Vegas’ league-leading six-game winning streak. The 29-year-old now sits alone with a league-leading 52 goals and is the clear front-runner for the Rocket Richard Trophy.
No. 9: Red Sox Lock-Up Two Foundational Pieces
The Boston Red Sox have an exciting core of budding stars and wasted little time in the 2025 campaign to lock up two of them to extended contracts. On Monday, the Red Sox signed ace Garrett Crochet to a six-year, $170 million contract. The Red Sox acquired Crochet from the Chicago White Sox in the winter. Then on Wednesday, they extended budding star Kristian Campbell to an eight-year, $60 million contract. Campbell has become the everyday second baseman after winning a spot on the roster during spring training.
No. 8: Stephen Curry Hits 12 Three-Pointers In Victory
On Tuesday evening, Stephen Curry turned back the clock during their victory over the Memphis Grizzlies as he hit 12 three-pointers. This was the second time this season Curry scored 12 three-pointers in a single contest. In this outing, Curry flirted with history as he finished just two three-pointers away from his former teammate Klay Thompson’s single-game record (14).
No. 7: Reigning Champions Remain Perfect In 2025
The Los Angeles Dodgers have wasted little time emerging as early-season favorites in 2025. After winning the World Series in 2024, the Dodgers look stronger than ever in 2025. Through their first seven contests, the Dodgers have posted a stellar 7-0 record. During this stretch, reigning NL MVP Shohei Ohtani has gone deep twice and held a .280 AVG. Mookie Betts has also enjoyed an impressive start, launching three long balls across four starts.
No. 6: Paige Buckers Scores 31 Points To Clinch Final Four Ticket
Guard Paige Bueckers has played a critical role in leading the UConn Huskies to the Final Four. After scoring just 11 points in the opening round, Bueckers has emerged as the top player in the nation. Over their past three contests, Bueckers has scored at least 30 points in each game. In their Elite Eight matchup, Bueckers scored 31 points to defeat the top-seeded USC Trojans.
No. 5: Steve Allan Wins Galleri Classic
Steve Allan was able to win his first professional golf tournament in 23 years at the Galleri Classic. Allan started the Classic leading by one shot but began to fall behind. However, he was able to turn the corner as he tallied five birdies on the back nine. His last victory came in the Australian Open in 2002.
No. 4: Aaron Judge And Yankees Launch Nine Home Runs Aided By Torpedo Bats
On Saturday afternoon, the Yankee hitters set a franchise record off familiar friend Nestor Cortes. The Bronx Bombers launched nine home runs in this contest, which set a franchise record for the most long balls in a single game. The Yankees came out swinging as they launched three consecutive solo shots in the opening frame. Aaron Judge led the way in this game, going deep three times.
No. 3: Texas Tech Defeats Arkansas In Overtime Thriller
The Texas Tech Red Raiders defeated the Arkansas Razorbacks in a thrilling overtime victory in the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament on Thursday, March 27. In this contest, Texas Tech would overcome an impressive 16-point deficit. In overtime, the Red Raiders would score the game-winning bucket with just under eight seconds on the clock. However, Texas Tech would see its dance end in the Elite Eight against top-seeded Florida.
No. 2: UCLA Women's Basketball Reaches Final Four For The First Time In School History
For the first time in their school history, the UCLA Bruins Women’s Basketball team punched their ticket to the Final Four. In the Elite Eight, the Bruins defeated No. 3 seed LSU in a thrilling 72-65 victory. In this game, the Bruins were led by Lauren Betts, who scored 17 points and added seven rebounds with one assist. They will meet No. 2 UConn in the Final Four on Friday evening.
No. 1: Nikola Jokic Posts NBA Record 61-Point Triple Double
On Tuesday evening, Nikola Jokic put his name in the history books. Jokic became the first player in NBA history to score a 61-point triple-double. This incredible performance surpasses James Harden’s and Luka Doncic’s previous 60-point triple-doubles (in 2018 and 2022, respectively). His point total was also the second-most in a single game by a Denver Nugget, only behind David Thompson’s 73-point masterclass.
