Sports 101: A week for streak stoppers

A fan cheers while holding up a “24-1” shirt during an NBA basketball game between the Milwaukee Bucks and the Golden State Warriors Saturday, Dec. 12, 2015, in Milwaukee.

In case you missed them, here are some teachable moments from the last seven days:

▪ The Warriors had to lose some time, and the last game of a seven-game trip seemed about right.

▪ Stanford’s Christian McCaffrey did some of his best work while much of the country, including Heisman voters, slept.

▪ As far as the Browns are concerned, Santa Claus wears red and gold.

▪ Major League Baseball has a partnership with DraftKings, just not one with Pete Rose.

▪ It’s starting to look like an even-numbered season ahead for the Giants.
