NBA: LeBron, Harden named Players of the Week

Cleveland Cavaliers forward LeBron James and Houston Rockets shooting guard James Harden have been named the Players of the Week for games played Nov. 27 to Dec. 3, the NBA announced Monday.

LA LIGA: Barcelona and Real Madrid both settle for draws as Atletico Madrid win

Barcelona failed to stretch their lead at the top of the Liga table to seven points as Celta Vigo held them to a 2-2 draw in a fine match at the Bernabeu.

The visitors stunned the Camp Nou after 20 minutes when Daniel Wass and Iago Aspas combined to set up Maxi Gomez, who was denied by Marc-Andre Ter Stegen only for Aspas to volley home the rebound.

PREMIER LEAGUE: Arsenal vs. Man Utd delivers, Liverpool and Chelsea romp, Man City win again

WEEKEND REVIEW

How often does it happen? Two big teams such as Arsenal and Manchester United come together in a heavily hyped clash of the titans, and then they serve up a forgettable damp squib of a game. It can be so frustrating, but it didn't happen on Saturday.

In fact, we're still not entirely sure what happened Saturday. We suspect that neither is Arsene Wenger. Elsewhere, Liverpool thumped Brighton, and Chelsea swept aside Newcastle. Honestly, if it weren't for Manchester City being apparently incapable of slipping up, this might have been the best title race ever.

Performance of the weekend

Do you remember when David de Gea was a lightweight, willowy man-child as well-prepared for Premier League football as raw eggs are for hammers? Remember how people said that this was Sir Alex Ferguson's worst goalkeeper misjudgment of all time? (There are lots of contenders for that title, by the way.) How things change. This wasn't just one of De Gea's best performances; this was one of the best goalkeeping performances in the history of Premier League. On balance, and after lengthy consideration, we think it's fair to say that Ferguson got this one right.

NBA: Curry scores 30, Warriors dominate Heat 123-95

Stephen Curry scored 30 points in 30 minutes, Kevin Durant added 24 and the Warriors rode a big third-quarter run to pull away and beat the Miami Heat 123-95 on Sunday night. Curry and Durant didn't even play in the fourth quarter, getting more unplanned but deserved time off.

"Just needed to get some sun and hit the clubs," Kerr deadpanned, the sarcasm clear. "That's what the coaches and I did. We were out all night."
