Oh yes, and there was a basketball game too. The Clippers rebounded to win Game 5 of their playoff series with the Golden State Warriors 113-103. L.A. leads the series 3-2
2. SEVERE WEATHER
Lots of rain: Severe thunderstorms may roar across the southeastern United States again today, bringing with them a slight risk of hail, damaging winds and tornadoes. About 37 million people are at risk in places like Jacksonville, Florida; Charlotte, North Carolina; Virginia Beach; Raleigh, North Carolina; and Atlanta, the National Weather Service said. Heavy rain will be the norm
3. OKLAHOMA EXECUTION
Lethal injection botched: One execution stopped midcourse, another postponed. Oklahoma corrections officials looked for answers yesterday following the death of inmate Clayton Lockett, who convulsed and writhed on the gurney after drugs to carry out his death sentence were administered. The execution was halted, but the result was still death. A second execution scheduled for yesterday has been put on hold while the state investigates.
