If you were going to guess the two San Antonio Spurs that outscored LeBron James in Game 3 of the NBA Finals, it would be easy, right? Tim Duncan? Manu Ginobli? Tony Parker? Try Danny Green and Aberdeen native Gary Neal. Green led all scorers with 27 points, and Neal was right behind him with 24 points , a playoff career high. Neal, a Calvert Hall graduate, went 6-of-10 from 3-point range, helping the Spurs to a superb 16-for-32 night from beyond the arc and a 113-77 win over the Heat.

This was for every guy who ever had a mid-life crisis and tried to do something nobody thought could be done. Fifty-year-old Jockey Gary Stevens took Oxbow to the front early and never looked back on the way to an upset victory in the 138th Preakness Stakes that was truly one for the ageless. Oxbow was a 15-1 shot when he left the gate, and he wasn't the one beating the longest odds at Old Hilltop on Saturday. Stevens became the first grandfather ever to win a Triple Crown race, and he did it against a Kentucky Derby winner - Orb - that was considered almost unassailable.

Editor's note: This is the first in a series of occasional features on prominent local residents and the possessions they treasure. You can get a pretty good idea of someone's journey through life by looking at the objects with which he surrounds himself. For Gary Vikan, who stepped down this spring as the director of the Walters Art Museum , those objects include a pair of tickets to Woodstock, a piece of the gate guarding Graceland, a collection of Russian icons and a miniature replica of the Shroud of Turin.

Gary Stevens became the oldest jockey to win the Preakness on Saturday, and the 50-year-old Hall of Famer has Clark Masterson to thank. Masterson, a personal trainer based in Bellevue, Wash., helped the 50-year-old jockey lose 25 pounds and nearly 8 percent body fat during two months of workouts last year. It allowed Stevens to come out of retirement after seven years and resume a riding career that produced eight Triple Crown victories and nearly 5,000 other victories.Running in his 17th Preakness, Stevens rode Oxbow to his third win. Stevens also won the race in 1997 (aboard Silver Charm)

Nearly a quarter century ago, Gary Stevens was an up-and-coming jockey in Southern California, hoping to make his mark on the sport, put a lot of money in the bank and move on to something else as quickly as possible. A conversation he had with one of horse racing's iconic riders still resonates with Stevens as he gets ready to ride Oxbow in Saturday's 138th Preakness Stakes at Pimlico Race Course . Given where Stevens has been - including retirement for seven years - it seems almost humorous.

Saturday's Maryland Voices page laid out a clear example of Baltimore governmental failure and the typical attempt to talk it under the table ("Laying blame," May 11). The Baltimore City Detention Center issue has made the city the laughingstock of the country. Del. Pat McDonough lays it out on the table clearly. It's time for action. Cut the head off of the snake and get rid of corrections chief Gary Maynard, who's has been in a deep sleep for six years, ignoring the incredibly dire circumstances of the public infrastructure which he has been appointed to manage.

Syracuse attacker Michelle Tumolo will undergo season-ending surgery after suffering a torn anterior cruciate ligament in her left knee in the first half of Tuesday's game against Cornell. Tumolo, a senior and 2012 Tewaaraton Award finalist, ranks first in assists for the Orange with 24 and third in goals with 22. The Syracuse offense ranks sixth in Division I, averaging just under 15 goals per game. Alyssa Murray leads the team with 40 goals and 60 points, and coach Gary Gait sees an opportunity for other players to step up. "They're all capable," the former Maryland assistant said of his offense.

Junior midfielder Rhiannon Coogle (North Harford) scored a career-high six goals to lead the Towson women's lacrosse team to a 14-9 win at Delaware on Sunday afternoon in their Colonial Athletic Association opener. The Tigers (2-7, 1-0) ended a five-game losing streak with the win and now have won 13 straight CAA regular-season games dating to the 2011 season. Delaware (6-4, 0-1) opened the game hot, scoring five of the game's first seven goals. But Towson opened the second half on a 4-0 run to take a 10-6 lead with 20:54 to play.

Former Terps coach Gary Williams was honored today at the ACC tournament as an "ACC Legend. " Williams was introduced at Greensboro Coliseum during halftime of the Miami-N.C. State semifinal game. Williams waved to the crowd and gave a modified fist pump in the direction of the Maryland section -- his trademark. Other "legends" included former N.C. State guard Dereck Whittenburg and former Georgia Tech guard Mark Price. Supporters of Williams and former Maryland coach Lefty Driesell believe they should be in the Hall of Fame in Springfield, Mass.

COLLEGE PARK - Lefty Driesell is more than 26 years and 220 miles removed from Maryland's men's basketball program. At 81, the former coach doesn't get to many games anymore. But from his condo in Virginia Beach, Va., Driesell thinks about his Maryland days often - partly because of his lingering affection for the school and partly because he never seemed to find proper closure after being forced out in 1986 following the cocaine-induced death of star player Len Bias. Some of Driesell's former players have kept their distance from the school because they believe he never received his due for the 348 wins and other accomplishments during his 17 seasons as head coach.
