2. The Warriors are now 14-0 in the playoffs after winning game two
Can anyone stop Steph Curry, Kevin Durant and the Golden State Warriors? It really doesn’t look like it after the team delivered another dominant performance to take a 2-0 lead over the Cleveland Cavaliers in the NBA Finals. The series now moves to Ohio for games three and four.

3. Man mowing lawn during tornado says he was keeping an eye on it
The internet was taken by storm over the weekend by a man who continued to calmly mow his lawn while a massive tornado swirled in the background. According to the Canadian Press, Theunis Wessels’ wife, Cecilia, took the photo and the pair were “keeping an eye on it.” No tornado will stop Theunis from doing his chores!

4. People are wondering where Usher was at One Love Manchester
The One Love Manchester benefit concert took place on Sunday and was a smashing success for a number of reasons. People were a little confused, however, at the absence of Usher. The singer tweeted a link to the show’s live stream on Sunday, but never showed up to perform. So far, no reason has been given for his absence.

5. Sidney Crosby didn’t say that P.K. Subban has bad breath
In case it went over your head, Sidney Crosby didn’t say that P.K. Subban had bad breath. Crosby says he didn’t say anything of the sort to Subban and that the Predators defenceman was just making that up for the attention. For most hockey fans that know Subban, that news comes as no surprise.
