Friday Sports: Rattlers Dunk Huge Win

CEBL

The Saskatchewan Rattlers (6-9) finally tasted victory again after a month of losses as they picked up a 96-84 win over the Winnipeg Sea Bears (7-7) on Thursday night. The Rattlers may still be fifth in the West despite the win, but as they snapped a seven-game losing streak and remain within striking distance. Teddy Allen led the charge as he finished with 21 points against his former squad, hitting five threes on a 41 per cent clip while racking up five rebounds and six assists.

Elsewhere, Calgary upended Vancouver 97-94 and Niagara topped Montreal 83-77.

NBA

Kyle Lowry is re-signing with his hometown Philadelphia 76ers. The six-time all-star announced his decision on Instagram. ESPN reports Lowry is agreeing to a one-year deal. The veteran guard won the NBA title with the Toronto Raptors in 2019, and topped the Olympic podium with the U-S in 2016. 

CFL

The Montreal Alouettes are unbeaten no more. Toronto scored touchdowns on offence, defence and special teams to hand the defending Grey Cup champs a 37-18 setback for their first loss of the CFL season. Janarion Grant sparked the Argonauts with a 103-yard kickoff return for a touchdown in the dying moments of the first half after Montreal lost starting quarterback Cody Fajardo to an apparent hamstring injury. The Alouettes dropped to 5-and-1, while the Argos sit at 3-and-2.

MLB

The Blue Jays are starting to heat up. Kevin Gausman allowed two runs on six hits with three strikeouts in a 5-3 victory over the San Francisco Giants. Toronto has won four of five, and opens a three-game series in Arizona against the Diamondbacks tonight (Friday). Jays shortstop Bo Bichette is day-to-day with a right calf strain.
