Entering Thursday’s fourth quarter sooner could’ve gotten the Dubs closer to a win, but they might not have been any closer to what Curry believes they need for consistent success.

With a home-heavy schedule in the next few weeks, starting with a Friday night clash with the Columbus Blue Jackets for the first of two consecutive games between the teams, the Blackhawks have an opportunity to find a winning formula. The Blackhawks opened the season with six of eight games on the road, and they lost all of their tilts away from Chicago, going 0-3-3.

For one day at least, professional tennis in January looked a little like it is supposed to. Which means elite players and capacity Australian crowds – even if those crowds were at an exhibition event in Adelaide, rather than Melbourne as usual. This was “A Day At The Drive” – the light-hearted warm-up to which Tennis Australia boss Craig Gabriel had invited half-a-dozen of the world’s best, plus their hitting partners. The event had caused significant ill-feeling among the rank-and-file, based in Melbourne, when they saw what superior arrangements were being laid on for Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal, Serena Williams et al. And when Djokovic – who had been intended to open the schedule against young Italian Jannik Sinner – cried off with a badly blistered right hand, Gabriel must have wondered if all the extra stress had been worth it.
