Tonight at 22:00 ET on Crypto Arena (Los Ángeles, California)
Lakers: 46-29 record (4th place on Western Conference)
Warriors: 44-31 record (5th place on Western Conference)
This Series: 3-0 record
- Warriors 113-115 Lakers, Warriors 108-118 Lakers, Lakers 120-112 Warriors
GIBBI View: This is a must victory to Lakers, because Lakers need to win to go up to 3rd seed and minimum “clinch” 4th seed; Warriors have been one of the best teams after signed Jimmy Bluter where escalated from play-in to playoffs zone; My Prediction: Lakers have won the 3 games played against Warriors but it was before Butler signed with Warriors and Luka with Lakers, so I think that it’s going to be a closed, tough and exciting game where Lakers win by 1+ point difference

TKO Group’s UFC has struck a multimillion-dollar, multiple-year partnership deal with Meta that will bring the mixed martial arts league closer to Mark Zuckerberg’s technology company
UFC’s integration with Meta will span the company’s portfolio, including Meta AI, Meta Glasses, Meta Quest, Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp and Threads. Specific financial terms weren’t disclosed
The partnership with Meta is separate from the UFC’s media rights discussions, which are set to kick off later in April. UFC’s exclusive negotiating window with its current partner ESPN ends April 15. ESPN doesn’t plan to renew its deal before the window’s expiration
GIBBI View: Remember that Dana White and Mark Zuckerberg endorsed Trump and invested in his campaign, so now both of them are seeing the benefits for supporting Trump

Amazon.com has put in a last-minute bid to buy TikTok, a U.S. administration official said on Wednesday, just days ahead of an April 5 deadline for the short-form video app to find a non-Chinese buyer or face a ban in the country
U.S. venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz is also in talks to add new outside investment that will buyout TikTok’s Chinese investors, as part of a bid led by Oracle and other American investors to carve it out of ByteDance, the Financial Times reported on Tuesday
Washington says TikTok’s ownership by ByteDance makes it beholden to the Chinese government, and Beijing could use the app to conduct influence operations against the United States and collect data on Americans.
GIBBI View: According to rumors, the most probably is that Oracle, Andreessen Horowitz and another minor investors are going to buy TikTok U.S. but I think that this isn’t going to happen tomorrow (deadline is tomorrow) and for that reason Trump will extend the period (second time) that ByteDance will have to sell TikTok U.S

NHL Signs New 12-Year TV Deal In Canada Worth $7.7B (The Hollywood Reporter)

The National Hockey League has renewed its broadcast rights deal for hockey in Canada with Rogers Communications for another 12 years as part of an CAN$11 billion (US$7.7 billion) agreement
Rogers unveiled a second 12-year agreement for the national media rights to NHL games on all platforms in Canada, this time to run to the 2037-38 season. The latest agreement will start in 2026-27 after the current 12-year deal ends
A potential partner could be Amazon, which in Oct. 2024 started streaming NHL games in Canada on Prime Video ahead of the current NHL broadcast rights with Rogers expiring in 2026
GIBBI View: I don’t like the NHL nor I’ve watched an NHL in my life, but I’ve written here that invest in a U.S Sport League or a U.S Sport League Team is a great investment assest, because their valuate is increasing every year; but I think that it’ll happen a time in the future where the “bubble” will explode, let’s see

NFL Approves Buffalo Bills’s Debt Waiver For New $2.2 Billion Stadium (Sportico)

The Buffalo Bills were granted an exemption to the NFL’s debt limit in a Monday vote at the NFL owners meetings in Palm Beach, Fla. The current NFL debt limit is $700 million. The team requested the waiver as the cost of its new Highmark Stadium, set to open in 2026, has ballooned past $2 billion from the original estimate of $1.4 billion
The state of New York and Erie County are contributing $850 million toward the Bills’ project, including “Bills bonds” from the county. The Pegula family, which owns the Bills, was originally expected to pay $550 million, including the G-4 funds
In December, the Pegulas sold a 20.6% stake in the team, including 10% to Arctos Partners and the remaining stake to a consortium of investors. The sale netted the family roughly $1 billion
GIBBI View: I wanted to see the Liga MX Teams Finances and see if they have under control their finances but I doubt it, and for these kind of actions is why NFL is the best sport league in the world and the richest; so let’s see if one day I have the opportunity to attend a NFL Game and know this new stadium, let’s see
