Notorious for playing with energy and assertiveness that fuels their third-quarter runs, the Warriors did just that in Game 1 of the NBA Finals. They hung 38 points on the league's top-ranked defense while holding the Celtics to 24.

As a result, Golden State, a team yet to lose on its home floor in the playoffs, entered the final frame with a 12-point lead. Boston scored the last points of the third quarter, courtesy of a pair of Derrick White free throws, but a comeback required urgency, and there was little margin for error. Otherwise, the Celtics would spend the days leading into Game 2 kicking themselves for how they came out of the half.

Instead, they met the moment, landing a fourth-quarter haymaker, outscoring the Warriors 40-13 before the hosts added a three after both teams emptied their benches.

Jaylen Brown was at the center of that fourth-quarter takeover, getting them off to the fast start they needed, factoring into Boston's first seven points.

The play below, a three for Brown, also highlights the Celtics hunting Jordan Poole, who they'll target relentlessly throughout these Finals.

The next possession demonstrates a problem Golden State had throughout Thursday's loss and will continue to have difficulty with this series. The Warriors lack high-level perimeter defenders.

As it relates to the following clip, Otto Porter, who played well overall in Game 1, is at a point in his career where it's hard for him to keep up with Jaylen Brown. The result is Brown driving by him, getting into the paint, occupying Klay Thompson's attention, and while Draymond Green knows what's coming, he can't prevent this alley-oop to Robert Williams.

Shortly after that, White attacked Klay Thompson off the dribble, getting deep into the paint. When White pivots, Porter sees him staring towards the left slot, persuading him to break that way before realizing the ball's going to Brown. And with White leading Brown further towards the corner, Brown gets a clean, in-rhythm look at a three that barely grazes the net.

The Celtics' comeback wasn't, nor could it have been, strictly a product of what they were accomplishing offensively. At the other end, Boston went smaller and started switching more frequently. The Celtics' big men also raised their pick-up point, meeting Stephen Curry higher up the floor as he came off screens.

Here, Al Horford's waiting for Curry above the three-point line, a shade below the pick from Kevon Looney. Horford and Jayson Tatum surround Curry, White tags the roller, Looney, and Horford uses his length to stay connected to Curry and Looney. Perhaps the latter could've gotten to the other side of the rim with more urgency, but the pass could still prove difficult. Instead, Curry rises for a floater as Tatum comes across his face to contest the shot.

As for the impact of Boston getting back to its preferred method of defending the pick-and-roll, which is switching on screens, one benefit was getting the ball out of Curry's hands.

In the play below, the Celtics don't switch the off-ball screen, which is really just Green grabbing his defender, Tatum. But when Curry shakes free of White, Tatum has no choice but to jump out to contest his potential shot. That results in Curry swinging the ball to Andrew Wiggins, who's plenty capable of making this three, but the Celtics will live with this shot.

And while Boston's defense was limiting Curry to four points in the final frame, its offense continued driving into the paint, moving the ball around, and chipping away at the deficit.

Here, Brown gets out of the corner and into the paint, prompting Porter to help wall off his drive as his man, White, drifts beyond the arc. Brown's strong with the ball and throws it on a line to White, who drills a right-wing three to bring the Celtics within one.

White, who scored 21 points and was outstanding in this game, continued to play a critical role in Boston's comeback, cashing a three with Curry in his jersey, knotting the score at 103 with 5:40 remaining.

The next time down the floor, the Warriors are slow to match up in transition. Tatum swings the ball to White, who drives baseline off the catch, keeping Porter by the basket. It also forces Wiggins to zone two, accounting for Payton Pritchard and Horford.

The pass to Horford would've been more challenging, but Wiggins is splitting the difference between his two responsibilities, and he's too far in to break up the baseline pass. Pritchard then swings the ball to Horford, who's unbothered by Thompson coming over and getting his hand up, swishing a three to put the Celtics ahead 106-103.

Another instrumental aspect of Boston's comeback win was Golden State living up to its reputation for not taking care of the ball. In the fourth quarter, the Warriors committed four turnovers, two of the live-ball variety, leading to ten points for the Celtics.

And while overall, the hosts were more effective crashing the offensive glass, producing 26 second-chance points compared to 15 by Boston, none of those came in the fourth quarter before both teams emptied their benches. Conversely, as the Celtics rallied, they tacked on six points after securing an offensive rebound.

And with just under a minute to play, Tatum passed over a double team, giving Boston a four-on-three, where Brown drove baseline and found a cutting Horford, who provided the exclamation mark on the Celtics' 120-108 win in Game 1 of the NBA Finals.

Tatum played nearly the entire fourth quarter but didn't score, making the come-from-behind victory even more impressive. And despite his shot not falling, it didn't negatively affect him defensively, and he impacted the outcome with his facilitating.

Tatum finished with a game-high 13 assists. Nine of them were on Boston's 21 makes from beyond the arc, setting the record for the most by any player in a Finals game. It exemplified the Celtics' resiliency and their ability to figure out what's needed for them to walk out with a win.

The Anatomy of the Celtics' Fourth-Quarter Comeback in Game 1 of NBA Finals - Sports Illustrated

Netflix found a huge hit in its anthology thriller series Anatomy of a Scandal, so fans are understandably confused that the series is not getting picked up. However, the show was "canceled" instead, it was always planned as a limited series. The six episodes of Anatomy of a Scandal were all that were ever planned by its creators.

Anatomy of a Scandal is a Netflix original series that premiered on April 15, 2022. It is a drama with elements of true crime, politics and mystery all mixed together in the story of a British family torn apart by a highly publicized scandal. The show is based on a novel of the same name written by Sarah Vaughan, and Vaughan never wrote a sequel. With the story relayed in its entirety already, there's no reason for a second season to be made.

Vaughan wrote Anatomy of a Scandal and published it in 2018, drawing on her own experience as a political journalist and a student at Oxford. It was her third novel, separate from the first two books and the two that have followed it since. Vaughan has not hinted at any plans to make a sequel, and fans of the genre aren't necessarily clamoring for one, either. The story is self-contained, and thrillers of this kind do not typically get serialized in the world of publishing.

TV is a different story. Many acclaimed thriller adaptations have been extended past their source material, with TV writers teasing out the story and following the characters onto their next adventure. However, this is not always popular, with fans sometimes complaining that it's easy to tell when the original story runs out and the show is running on fumes. One of the most infamous recent examples was at Netflix 13 Reasons Why.

It would make sense that Netflix wants to avoid this pitfall when it comes to Anatomy of a Scandal, ending the show on a high note. It's also notable that the book and the show are both British. Short limited series are much more common in the U.K., and book adaptations are rarely extended there. Viewers would like be surprised if Anatomy of a Scandal broke that norm.

Fans who are disappointed to leave the Whitehouse family behind can always turn to Vaughan's book. It is available now in print, digital and audiobook format wherever books are sold. Otherwise, the series is streaming now on Netflix.

Do you ever wonder what a Pokmon would look like inside that cuddly exterior? No? Well, you can anyway after fan-made anatomically-accurate illustrations made their way online.

The images appeared on the Pokmon subreddit, where drawings of Cyndaquil, Octillery, Donphan, and Bellossom offered a detailed interpretation of the creatures anatomy. The drawings are very detailed, almost unsettlingly so, similar to what youd see in the doctors office. They even have names of the organs and details of bone structure for added accuracy.

Many commented underneath the thread on how horrifying (in a good way) these drawings are. Some also said that theyre now looking forward to their future nightmares.

Others, especially those either currently or aspiring to work in the field of biology, have praised the artist for the amount of detail these drawings have.

Fans showed excitement to see more, giving out requests for other Pokmon theyd like to see anatomically deconstructed. Some showed curiosity on how other Pokmon like ghost types or Cuebone would appear, considering that they have no bones usually, with the latter wearing skulls on their heads.

The original artist posted a link underneath the thread to their Poknatomy book, where they drew full-page anatomical illustrations of all the original 151 Pokmon. And while these drawings may look horrifying, you have to admit that the artist has placed a lot of effort to make them as detailed and convincing as possible.

"Grey's Anatomy" goes to great lengths to make sure that their medical scenes look as realistic as possible, meaning that they have to get creative with their props to make situations such as surgeries look authentic. If you're curious about the types of things they utilize for props, actor Sarah Drew, who has been playing Dr. April Kepner on "Grey's Anatomy" since 2009, has opened up about what filming those surgery scenes are like including what kind of props they have to work with. Speaking with the Miami Herald, Drew said, "We work with bovine organs, which is cow's organs. The smell is repulsive and makes us all gag. And we use an actual soldering tool to solder the organs. It smells like burning flesh. There's also a lot of silicone and blood matter red jello mixed with blood and chicken fat. It's pretty gross" (via RTE).

Along with making the props look realistic, there is great deal of attention paid to how the actors are moving and acting in a surgical setting to make sure that they don't do something that an actual doctor wouldn't. In September of 2021, LitHub published an oral history in which the cast and crew discuss how they pull off their most intricate medical scenes. Giacomo Gianniotti, who played Dr. Andrew DeLuca from 2015 to 2021, told an amusing anecdote as an example of the lengths they go to for accuracy: "My first surgery was a nightmare. There were so many things, general rules that I didn't know about sterilization, keeping everything clean. I was constantly dropping my hands in surgery and Linda Klein," the show's medical adviser technician, "would be like, 'Cut, cut, cut! Giacomo, what are you doing? You're dropping your hands! You're not sterile!'"

Shes really living a lie in many ways, declares Michelle Dockery about her character in the Netflix limited series Anatomy of a Scandal. The series developed and written by Melissa James Gibson and Emmy-winning writer and producer David E. Kelley, follows a wife and mother (Sienna Miller) who struggles to support her husband (Rupert Friend), a British politician who has had an affair and is accused of rape. Dockery plays Kate Woodcroft, the prosecuting attorney who endures her own lingering trauma. Check out our exclusive video chat with the four-time Emmy nominee above. Spoilers for the full season ahead.

The character of Kate turns out to be more than a mere attorney. The audience eventually learns that Kates real name is Holly Berry, and that as a student, Kate/Holly was raped by the same politician Kate is presently prosecuting. Dockery says that the characters duality was one of the key attractions of the role. Shes changed her identity to bury her past, she says. I loved that there is this fantastic kind of journey throughout the story for her because she starts out as this quite closed off human being and very guarded, and then as the story goes on those layers begin to peel back.

Because the show was filmed out of sequence, Dockery shot her emotional breakdown for the final episode very early in the filming and spent a great deal of time isolated from the rest of the cast. The actress argues that the circumstances helped in portraying her character. It worked out great because I could get all of that rage and emotion out in those final moments with Kate and then sort of work backwards, she explains. That separation from everybody was really good because Kates a lone wolf. Shes very private and she likes to be alone. So it was good to get into the character in that sense.

Dockery says that the entire production went to extraordinary lengths to tackle the issue of sexual violence in a way that is both honest and respectful to victims, including working with victims advocate groups throughout the United Kingdom. Its obviously a subject that is a really sensitive one, and we were all adamant that it was delivered in the most authentic way possible, she says. The actress describes how it was sometimes difficult to leave the character behind after filming certain scenes. Whenever I do something that is sort of guttural and emotional, I go home and Ill feel tired and its a little harder to shake off, she claims.

Sarah Drew and Jesse Williams returned to Greys Anatomy for its Season 18 finale, thrilling fans with the reveal that their characters Jackson Avery and April Kepner had reunited. The fandom has been screaming for a Japril spinoff pretty much since Drew left the medical drama at the end of Season 14 (if not before that), and the yearning to see the couples life together in Boston is stronger than ever following their on-screen in-elevator kiss. The actors seem down for a spinoff, as well, as theyve consistently voiced their love for the characters, but Drew has an interesting idea about how shed want to differentiate their series from Greys Anatomy.

The idea of a spinoff featuring Jackson and April was actually one the actors pitched when they were both still on the show. Rather than giving them their own series, the writers turned their pitch into what is now known as Japril The Movie, a heartbreaking Season 12 episode. Sarah Drew returned for the Season 17 episode that announced Jesse Williams exit from Greys Anatomy, with April agreeing to accompany Jackson to Boston to continue co-parenting their daughter Harriet. Drew spoke with Tommy DiDario on Instagram about how she sees that story being continued:

In my dream world, it would be like a 10-episode kind of show where we could be somewhere that allows it to be a little darker, and a little grittier, a little sexier. That would be fun.

The Japril dynamic has been fun to watch, to say the least, but if they were the sole focus of the story, without the necessity of sharing screen time with a bevy of other Seattle surgeons, Jesse Williams and Sarah Drew would definitely have to dive deeper into Jackson and Aprils complexities much like they did for Japril The Movie. In that episode (officially Unbreak My Heart), Jackson served April with divorce papers, prompting a look at the highs and lows of their time together, with the episode ending with the reveal that April was pregnant again.

The history certainly exists for Sarah Drew and Jesse Williams to go darker and grittier with the characters. As far as sexier, lets just say its a good thing Jackson and April are doctors, because I feel some heart palpitations coming on.

The reason for their move to Boston for Jackson to take over his familys Catherine Fox Foundation to help provide better medical care to underserved communities would also lend itself to some interesting and important content. Drew said that would be fun to tackle:

And I think that's what's really fun about these two characters...they're both right now kind of really living in their purpose. And they're out to change the medical field and to fight for medical justice. We haven't seen that out in the world yet. So, I think it could lend itself to really interesting, fun stories to tell.

After his exit from the show in 2021, Jesse Williams said he and Sarah Drew would kill it if given the chance to do a spinoff, and Greys Anatomy star Ellen Pompeo also said she gets why fans want to see more, and shed watch them lead their own show. This seems to be an idea that fans (and the actors!) arent letting go of, so will somebody order this spinoff already?

In the meantime, you can relive all the Japril drama on streaming, with Seasons 1-17 of Greys Anatomy available to Netflix subscribers, while Season 18 is available in full with a Hulu subscription.
