Weekend winners

Simone Biles. Man, what a boss she is, and leading another U.S. team into the Olympics this summer at 27 is the exclamation point on arguably the greatest career in gymnastics history. How’s this for a stat: Biles has a teammate who was 5 when Biles won her first national title. War Simone.

Indiana Fever. The crew — aka Team Caitlin — is playing way better, and getting a win over Phoenix and Diana Taurasi — who was one of Clark’s first and most vocal critics — Sunday was doubly sweet.

76ers. Paul George underwhelmed with the Clippers, but as a 2 or 3 with a Philly crew that has Joel Embiid, Tyrese Maxey and others, the East just got serious.
