What happened on Tuesday, November 25, 2014?

  1. Everything went Manchester City’s way: At the start of the day, defending Premiere League champions, Manchester City, looked like a long shot to advance to the next round of the Champions League. Then CSKA Moscow scored in the 93rd minute to tie their game against AC Roma, which helped Manchester City in the standings. Then a Bayern Munich defender got a red card early in their game against Manchester City, so City were up a man. Even so, it took late game heroics from striker Sergio Aguero to push Manchester City over Bayern Munich, 3-2.
    Line: What a crazy game — up a man, down a goal, Man City finally broke through.
  2. Splash Brothers combine for 64 in win over Heat: The Golden State Warriors two star guards, Steph Curry and Klay Thompson, collectively known as the Splash Brothers, scored a combined 64 points in the team’s 114-97 win over the Heat. Curry alone had 40 points. The Heat’s strong start to the season has slowed down as Dwayne Wade has missed the last seven games due to injuries.
    Line: This is what Heat fans were afraid of — that Wade would not be able to hold up to the full load without LeBron.
  3. Homecoming for JayVaughn Pinkston: Pinkston is a basketball player for the Villanova Wildcats who beat the Michigan Wolverines 60-55 in last night’s finals of the Legends Classic in Brooklyn. He’s also a Brooklyn native and now late-game hero after his last minute basket and block helped clinch the game for Villanova.
    Line: How good must that feel to be the hero in your hometown?!
  4. Shootout followed by a shootout in Nashville: The NHL hockey game between the Los Angeles Kings and Nashville Predators was unexpectedly high scoring last night — 3-3 in regulation. And then it dried up in the shootout. Over 12 shots, only one player scored — James Neal for the Nashville Predators, who won the game 4-3 on his shootout goal.
    Line: So far, this looks like the best team in Nashville’s 15 year history in the NHL.
