SALT LAKE CITY — Three incredible (and incredibly unlikely) happenings in the world of sports in today's From Left Field!
1. Rimando makes incredible face save
Yes, this happened on Saturday, so we're stretching the length of the traditional news cycle here. But as our beloved commentariat has pointed out, Nick Rimando's save in RSL's match against the Houston Dynamo this weekend is too incredible to be missed. We wanted to make absolutely sure that you got to see it.
Rimando, by making one of the best saves of his career, is the real Scott Sterling. It also preserved a 2-1 win for RSL, as they stay at the top of the MLS table.
2. Chaos in San Antonio
Monday night's Game 2 of the Western Conference semifinals between the San Antonio Spurs certainly got a little bit crazy. By the end, 13.5 seconds remained, the Thunder had the ball and were up one. That's when everything went wild.

Somehow, the Thunder got away with the win, despite everything. Zach Harper and CBSSports.com put together this summary of everything that went wrong in those final 13 and a half seconds.

There's a lot of time off now for both teams: Game 3 isn't until Friday in Oklahoma City.
3. Celebrations in Leicester
Leicester City clinched the English Premier League title Monday, an event that bookmakers were giving 5,000-1 odds of before the season.
To give you some idea of how unlikely that is, the odds that someone will be struck by lightning in their lifetime is about 3,000-1. It is, by nearly any measure, the most improbable sporting happening of all time.
Left back Christian Fuchs was kind enough to take video of the moment when the whistle blew and the Leicester (pronounced "Lester") players went crazy.
