Patty Mills has scored a game-high 20 points and guided the San Antonio Spurs to a 112-86 victory over the Brooklyn Nets in the NBA.
The Australian point guard filled the void left by San Antonio's injured stars, with Kawhi Leonard missing Monday's (Tuesday AEDT) game in Brooklyn because of a sore left hand, Pau Gasol due to a broken bone in his left hand, Tony Parker with a sore left foot and Manu Ginobili due to back spasms.
A most gorgeous goal in the A-League is matched by a pearler in the FA Cup, Marcus Mariota has the NFL Gods on his side, Lyon roars against all English left handers and Rashid Khan is a one-man highlight reel in the BBL.
Rashid Khan was trying everything he could to ensure the Adelaide Strikers had as many runs as possible to defend against the Sydney Thunder at Spotless Stadium.
From amazing tennis to NFL finals touchdowns, these are the most exciting, silly and downright crazy plays in the sporting world this week.
Mills shot seven-of-13 from the field, including four from six three-pointers, and was one of seven Spurs to score in double figures, as they turned the game into a blowout with a 39-point third quarter.

Isaiah Whitehead scored 19 points for the Nets, who got more bad news before the game when they announced Jeremy Lin will be sidelined another three to five weeks after aggravating his strained left hamstring.
They have lost eight straight at home.
