(Walker) just takes a dive and the ref bought it.”Asked about Kerr’s comment prior to Game 5 on Wednesday at Chase Center, Ham stayed above the fray.“I just control what I can control. That’s coaching my team,” Ham said. “I don’t go down the rabbit hole, pointing fingers, blaming the official. I never did when I was an assistant coach and I don’t ...

SAO PAULO (AP) — Brazil will launch a national investigation into soccer match-fixing and the probe could have “international repercussions,” Justice Minister Flavio Dino said Wednesday.
