June 10th, 2022 was highlighted by Steph Curry’s legendary 43-point, seven-3PM performance to lead the Warriors past Boston and avoid a daunting 3-1 deficit as they dominated the C’s in the clutch 17-3 to finish Game 4. Hunter Renfrow signed a 2y/$32M extension with Las Vegas, Charlotte hired HC Kenny Atkinson on a four-year deal, and Joe Musgrove continued his historic start to 2022. Casey Mize, Royce Lewis, and Andrew Kittredge all suffered season-ending injuries, while the Yankees and Guardians enjoyed walk-off victories.
