LAS VEGAS -- After the Game 5 victory last Thursday, San Jose Sharks forward Tomas Hertl told an arena full of jubilant San Jose fans that there would be a Game 7 in their series against the Vegas Golden Knights.

"I know we have one more game and come back for Game 7," he said. "I believe it. We're a better team than them."

His short-handed goal in double overtime in Game 6 on Sunday delivered on that proclamation, giving the Sharks a 2-1 win in Las Vegas and a 3-3 series tie to force Game 7 on Tuesday night.

Just don't start calling him a modern-day Mark Messier.

"There was no guarantee," Sharks coach Pete DeBoer said. "Tomas wears his heart on this sleeve. I don't know how that rolled out, whether it was through social media, but it was ridiculous."

San Jose center Logan Couture said perhaps something was lost in translation. "I know the word 'guarantee' was thrown out there, but his English is a little broken. It's tough for some of us to understand him sometimes," he said.

As for Hertl? "It feels great. You know, everyone will say there's a guarantee for Game 7 and everything. Well, there is the guarantee: Game 7. Now we have to go and finish it," he said.

The Sharks forward scored the game winner 11 minutes, 17 seconds in the second overtime. San Jose forward Barclay Goodrow was given a penalty for slashing the stick out of Vegas defenseman Brayden McNabb's hands. With the Knights on the power play, the puck was intercepted by the Sharks.

Defenseman Marc-Edouard Vlasic sent a pass to a streaking Hertl out of the zone. Knights defenseman Shea Theodore took an odd approach, attempting to play the puck rather than using his body to prevent Hertl from shooting. That allowed the Sharks forward to snap one past goalie Marc-Andre Fleury (27 saves) and make good on his vow to the fans.

Hertl wasn't sure whether he was going to shoot the puck on the play or dump it to change.

"[Fleury] took a little step left. I don't know if he was cheating because I shot glove side the last couple games," said Hertl, who has five goals in the series. "I don't really know, because I was really tired. I couldn't even celebrate. I didn't know what to do."

According to ESPN Stats & Information research, Hertl is the first player in NHL postseason history to score a short-handed goal in double overtime or later.

His goal ended an intense, wild Game 6 between the two burgeoning rivals, despite there being only three goals scored in five periods. That's because Sharks goalie Martin Jones literally saved the day with a 58-save effort, continuing a comeback effort in this series following three bad games that led to Knights wins.

The Sharks scored with 6.5 seconds left in the first period, converting a Golden Knights neutral zone turnover. Couture scored his fourth of the postseason, giving the Sharks the lead -- something they had in the two previous games they won in the series. In fact, no team that has had a lead in this series has ever trailed in a game.

Jonathan Marchessault got it back at 11:20 of the second period after William Karlsson won a puck battle with Erik Karlsson, tucking home the puck behind Jones.

The teams went to overtime, and the first extra session featured several close calls for both, none closer than a Timo Meier shot off his own rebound that sailed over Fleury and would have entered the net had it not been for some heroics by defensemen Jon Merrill and Colin Wilson sprawled behind him.

OT. What else can you say? #StanleyCup>pic.twitter.com/zvjVV3VYZ3 - NHL GIFs (@NHLGIFs) April 22, 2019

But in the second overtime, Hertl's shot ended it for the Sharks, who return home with a chance to complete a rally against a Golden Knights team that has had the better of the play in this series.

Any guarantees for Game 7, Tomas Hertl?

"No, no, no, no. I guarantee we will try our best," Hertl said, laughing.

"Game 7 is the most fun game you can play in the NHL."

The Buffalo Bills signed former Jacksonville Jaguars running back T.J. Yeldon to a two-year contract on Monday.

He joins a Buffalo backfield that already includes veteran running backs Frank Gore and LeSean McCoy.

The Bills have been active in free agency, adding several new offensive players, including Gore, wide receivers John Brown and Cole Beasley, tight end Tyler Kroft and offensive linemen Mitch Morse, Spencer Long and Quinton Spain.

Yeldon's time with the Jaguars didn't end on good terms. Executive vice president of football operations Tom Coughlin blasted Yeldon and Leonard Fournette for their demeanor on the sidelines during the 2018 finale after both players sat on the bench (Yeldon was active but Fournette was not) and appeared disinterested throughout the 20-3 loss to the Houston Texans. Coughlin released a statement after the game in which he said they were "disrespectful, selfish and their behavior was unbecoming that of a professional football player."

The 25-year-old Yeldon didn't do much the second half of the 2018 season, carrying the ball 23 times and catching 18 passes in the final eight games. He was a much bigger part of the offense in the first half of the season, when he started in place of Fournette, who missed six games because of a hamstring injury.

The Jaguars drafted Yeldon in the second round (36th overall) of the 2015 draft and he led the Jaguars in rushing as a rookie with 740 yards despite missing four games with an injury.

He finished his four years in Jacksonville with 1,892 yards and six rushing touchdowns and 171 catches for 1,302 yards and six touchdowns.

Almost every year it seems a memorable trade happens during the NFL draft as the clock ticks and the phones ring. So which draft-day trade has had the biggest impact -- good or bad -- on each NFL franchise?

We asked our 32 NFL Nation reporters to look back at each team's most meaningful swap on draft weekend. Some brought championships and others pain. All of them were unforgettable.

AFC EAST

Buffalo Bills

The trade: Buffalo sent second- and fifth-round picks in 2004 and a first-round pick in 2005 to Dallas to select quarterback J.P. Losman at No. 22 overall in 2004.

The Bills already had selected wide receiver Lee Evans at No. 13 after missing out on quarterbacks Eli Manning, Philip Rivers and Ben Roethlisberger earlier in the draft. Then-Buffalo general manager Tom Donahoe, in search of his quarterback of the future to replace Drew Bledsoe, traded back into the first round for Losman. The Tulane product spent only one year (2006) as the full-time starter and failed to build on that 3,000-yard season. Had the Bills kept their first-round pick in 2005, they could have selected Aaron Rodgers. -- Mike Rodak

Miami Dolphins

The trade: In 2013, the Dolphins traded their first-round (No. 12) and second-round (No. 42) picks to Oakland to move up to No. 3 and select Oregon defensive end Dion Jordan.

The move turned out to be a big bust, with Jordan contributing little on the field and failing several drug tests -- including one that caused him to be suspended for the entire 2015 season. He eventually was reinstated, retired, then was cut. His Dolphins career ended with only three sacks, and Miami failed to make the playoffs, going 8-8 in each of the two seasons after he was selected. The trade cost the Dolphins a chance to get two key contributors had they stayed put, and a look back at the players selected in the top 50 that year includes Sheldon Richardson (No. 13), Star Lotulelei (No. 14), Desmond Trufant (No. 22), Xavier Rhodes (No. 25), DeAndre Hopkins (No. 27), Travis Frederick (No. 31), Zach Ertz (No. 35), Darius Slay (No. 36) and Le'Veon Bell (No. 48). -- Cameron Wolfe

New England Patriots

The trade: New England acquired receiver Randy Moss from the Raiders for a fourth-round pick on April 30, 2007, the final day of the draft.

What a bargain. Moss went on to set the NFL record for most touchdown receptions in a season (23), giving quarterback Tom Brady the elite No. 1 weapon he has so seldom had over his career. In large part due to Moss' standout season, the Patriots posted a 16-0 regular-season record before they were upset by the Giants in Super Bowl XLII. -- Mike Reiss

New York Jets

The trade: On the morning of the 1980 draft, the Jets sent two first-round picks (No. 13 and No. 20) to the 49ers for the No. 2 pick to select receiver Johnny "Lam" Jones.

It turned out to be a bad move for the Jets, who selected the speedy Jones ahead of future Hall of Famers Anthony Munoz and Art Monk. Jones, who died recently after a long bout with cancer, never lived up to expectations. He finished with only 138 catches and 13 touchdowns. -- Rich Cimini

AFC NORTH

Baltimore Ravens

The trade: In 1999, the Ravens traded their second-round pick (No. 43) for Atlanta's first-round pick in 2000, which they used to land running back Jamal Lewis.

The Falcons selected tight end Reggie Kelly, and the Ravens got what turned into the No. 5 overall pick in the 2000 draft. Baltimore drafted Lewis, who carried the offense during the team's 2000 Super Bowl championship season and recorded the NFL's fifth 2,000-yard season in 2003. -- Jamison Hensley

Cincinnati Bengals

The trade: The Bengals moved from No. 5 to No. 1 overall after sending their first- and second-round picks to the Panthers to select running back Ki-Jana Carter in the 1995 draft.

It was a rare move for a franchise not known for draft-day trades, and the ultimate example of "what could have been" for the team. Carter signed a then-record seven-year, $19.2 million deal, but he played only three seasons with the Bengals. He missed his rookie season with a torn ACL and was never the same. The miss on that trade is representative of the futility of the franchise throughout the 1990s. -- Katherine Terrell

Cleveland Browns

The trade: In 2014, the Browns traded the No. 4 pick to move down to No. 9.

After moving down, the Browns traded the No. 9 pick to move up to No. 8 to take cornerback Justin Gilbert. This is the team that traded out of taking Julio Jones and traded up to take Johnny Manziel. Drafting Gilbert was as large a mistake as taking Manziel; neither was committed to being an NFL player. The better option: Stay at No. 4 and draft linebacker Khalil Mack, one of the best defensive players in the league. -- Pat McManamon

Pittsburgh Steelers

The trade: In 2003, the Steelers traded the No. 27, No. 92 and No. 200 picks to Kansas City for No. 16, which the Steelers used to select safety Troy Polamalu out of USC.

The Steelers are known as conservative when it comes to the draft. Rarely do they make splashy moves. But they needed to improve their secondary 16 years ago, and Polamalu was a true game-changer. They worked the phones in the draft room throughout the first hour of the first round and relied on good relationships with the Chiefs. The result: Pittsburgh got a future Hall of Famer. -- Jeremy Fowler

AFC SOUTH

Houston Texans

The trade: In 2017, general manager Rick Smith landed quarterback Deshaun Watson by trading the No. 25 pick and Houston's first-round pick in 2018 to the Browns for the No. 12 pick.

The Texans were in need of a franchise quarterback after sending Brock Osweiler to Cleveland following his lone season in Houston. In his first two seasons with the Texans, Watson missed time with a torn ACL but completed 66.4 percent of his passes for 5,864 yards with 45 touchdowns and 17 interceptions in 23 games. Houston had gone through eight starting quarterbacks after Bill O'Brien took over as coach in 2014 until Watson put a halt to the quarterback carousel. -- Sarah Barshop

Indianapolis Colts

The trade: On April 27, 2003, the Colts traded a fourth-round pick in 2004 to Houston for a fifth-rounder in 2003. The Colts used that fifth-round pick (No. 138) to select pass-rusher Robert Mathis.

Mathis, who was considered an undersized player coming out Alabama A&M, finished his career with 123 sacks (19th on the all-time list) and was named to five Pro Bowls. -- Mike Wells

Jacksonville Jaguars

The trade: In 2008, the Jaguars traded up from No. 26 to No. 8 to select defensive end Derrick Harvey.

Jacksonville gave up a lot -- No. 26, two third-round picks and a fourth-round pick -- to Baltimore for the No. 8 pick. The Jaguars were coming off a playoff appearance, had signed QB David Garrard to a long-term deal and believed they were close to being a Super Bowl team if they could improve their pass rush. Harvey held out for 38 days, recorded 3.5 sacks as a rookie and totaled 8.0 sacks in three seasons before being cut with two years remaining on his contract. The Jaguars, by the way, wouldn't make the playoffs again until 10 years later. What makes this trade even worse for the Jaguars is the Ravens used the No. 26 pick and one of the third-round picks from the Jaguars to move up to No. 18 and take QB Joe Flacco, a move that resulted in six playoff appearances in the next seven seasons and a victory in Super Bowl XLVII. -- Michael DiRocco

Tennessee Titans

The trade: In 1997, the franchise (then the Oilers) sent two picks (No. 13 and No. 110) to the Chiefs for four selections -- Nos. 18, 81, 116 and 181.

With the No. 13 pick the Chiefs selected Hall of Famer Tony Gonzalez, who went on to become one of the best tight ends in history. Although defensive end Kenny Holmes (No. 18) had a solid NFL career, tackle Scott Sanderson (No. 81) and linebacker Dennis Stallings (No. 181) didn't pan out. The Titans/Oilers traded pick No. 116 and a sixth-round pick (No. 165) to the Saints for pick No. 107, moving up to select defensive end Pratt Lyons. Losing out on a chance to select Gonzalez was a tough pill to swallow. -- Turron Davenport

AFC WEST

Denver Broncos

The trade: During the 2009 draft, the Broncos shipped their 2010 first-round pick to the Seattle Seahawks to move up in the second round to select cornerback Alphonso Smith.

The trade for future Hall of Famer John Elway will always be the franchise's most impactful deal, but it was completed several days after the 1983 draft had finished. Denver also traded up in the first round in 2016 to select quarterback Paxton Lynch, who didn't win training camp battles for the starting job in back-to-back years and then was released when he didn't win the backup job in last summer's training camp -- his third with the team. But the Smith trade is the all-time head-scratcher. He played just one season with the Broncos before he was traded to the Detroit Lions. And the Seahawks used that 2010 first-round pick to select ... safety Earl Thomas. -- Jeff Legwold

Kansas City Chiefs

The trade: In 2017, the Chiefs traded first- and third-round picks plus a first-rounder in 2018 to move up from No. 27 to No. 10 to select Texas Tech quarterback Patrick Mahomes.

This might be the most impactful trade in team history, period. Acquiring Mahomes secured Kansas City's spot near the top of the AFC for the foreseeable future. Last season he became the second quarterback in NFL history to throw 50 touchdown passes and for more than 5,000 yards. That he did so in the season in which he turned 23 suggests Mahomes will be posting big numbers for the Chiefs for years to come. -- Adam Teicher

Los Angeles Chargers

The trade: In 2004, the Chargers traded quarterback Eli Manning to the New York Giants for quarterback Philip Rivers, a 2004 third-round pick (kicker Nate Kaeding) and a 2005 first-round pick (linebacker Shawne Merriman), and a fifth-round pick (tackle Roman Oben).

Manning didn't want to play in San Diego and he got his wish, with Chargers GM A.J. Smith selecting him No. 1 overall and then shipping him to the Giants. In return, the Chargers received Rivers and part of a nucleus that led the Bolts to four straight AFC West titles from 2006 to 2009. Although Manning went on to win two Super Bowls -- and Rivers has yet to reach the NFL title game -- Rivers is 3-0 head-to-head against Manning. -- Eric D. Williams

Oakland Raiders

The trade: On Day 3 of the 2010 draft, the Raiders traded their fourth-round pick in the 2012 draft to Washington for quarterback Jason Campbell.

Campbell was compared to Jim Plunkett by Al Davis after the deal. Yes, a mere three years after Oakland used the top overall pick on JaMarcus Russell, who would be waived 12 days later. In Campbell's first season in Oakland, the Raiders went 8-8 (6-0 in the AFC West) for their first non-losing season in eight years, and he was humming in 2011 as the Raiders got off to a 4-2 start before his season ended with a broken collarbone in Week 6. That set the stage for Hue Jackson's power grab with the "greatest trade in football" for Carson Palmer, and it took years for the franchise to recover. Though he never played for the Raiders again, Campbell, at 11-7, is still the only Raiders quarterback since Rich Gannon played his last game in 2004 to have a winning record for Oakland. -- Paul Gutierrez

NFC EAST

Dallas Cowboys

The trade: In 1990, Dallas traded its first- and third-round picks to the Pittsburgh Steelers to move up four spots to No. 17 to take Emmitt Smith.

The Cowboys had hoped to select linebacker James Francis in the first round when the draft began, but he went to Cincinnati with the No. 12 pick. Smith kept dropping, so the Cowboys made a move for the player who formed the "Triplets" with Michael Irvin and Troy Aikman and helped the team to three Super Bowl wins in a four-year span. All Smith did was become the NFL's all-time leading rusher, league MVP, Super Bowl MVP, an eight-time Pro Bowler and a Hall of Famer. The Smith deal can be traced back to the Herschel Walker trade in 1989, but the draft-day move for Smith made the Cowboys the team of the 1990s. -- Todd Archer

New York Giants

The trade: In 2004, the Giants traded Philip Rivers, a third-round pick in 2004, and first- and fifth-round picks in 2005 to the San Diego Chargers for Eli Manning.

The Chargers took Manning against his will and the Giants selected Rivers at No. 4 overall with the hope that it would net them Manning. It eventually did in a trade that turned into a win-win. The Chargers received Rivers and turned their picks into kicker Nate Kaeding, pass-rusher Shawne Merriman and tackle Roman Oben. The Giants did even better. They won two Super Bowls with Manning, considered by most the best quarterback in franchise history and a potential Hall of Famer. -- Jordan Raanan

Philadelphia Eagles

The trade: In 1995, Philly gave up the No. 12 pick and a pair of second-rounders to Tampa Bay, moving up to No. 7 to select Mike Mamula.

The deal for Mamula, a defensive end out of Boston College whose stock got a significant bump because of his combine performance, still haunts Eagles fans. He wasn't a total bust (31.5 career sacks) but played only five seasons because of injury. The Bucs, meanwhile, used the No. 12 pick to select Warren Sapp and then dealt one of the two second-round picks to move up and select linebacker Derrick Brooks. Both ended up in the Hall of Fame and were centerpieces of a championship team. -- Tim McManus

Washington Redskins

The trade: In 1999, the Redskins traded the No. 12 overall pick and four other picks to Chicago to move up to No. 7, where they selected future Hall of Fame cornerback Champ Bailey.

Before that move, the Redskins had traded the fifth overall pick to New Orleans in exchange for eight draft picks, with two coming in 2000. That gave the Redskins the ammunition to move up for Bailey -- the player they wanted all along. Despite the haul from New Orleans, the Redskins drafted only six players in 1999 and four didn't provide any help. After moving up in the first round, they did it again in the second, selecting tackle Jon Jansen, a solid seven-year starter. Washington did keep the Saints' first-round pick in 2000, which ended up being No. 2, and selected linebacker LaVar Arrington. -- John Keim

NFC NORTH

Chicago Bears

The trade: In 2017, the Bears traded picks Nos. 3, 67 and 111 and a 2018 third-round selection to the San Francisco 49ers to move up one spot and take North Carolina quarterback Mitchell Trubisky second overall.

Chicago had a glaring need at quarterback, but few expected Bears general manager Ryan Pace to go all-in on Trubisky, who started just one full season for the Tar Heels. Trubisky led Chicago to the playoffs last season, passing for 3,223 yards and 24 touchdowns with 12 interceptions (95.4 passer rating). He might never be mentioned in the same breath as the league's elite passers, but Chicago appears to have stabilized its quarterback position for years to come, courtesy of its draft-day deal with San Francisco. -- Jeff Dickerson

Detroit Lions

The trade: In 1993, the Lions sent the No. 8 pick in that draft and a fourth-rounder (No. 89) to the Saints for linebacker Pat Swilling.

The Lions really wanted Swilling -- they had tried to sign him before but failed -- but the deal didn't work out for them. The No. 8 pick became Hall of Fame offensive tackle Willie Roaf. Including Roaf, four of the next six picks were Pro Bowlers. The fourth-rounder turned into Pro Bowl fullback Lorenzo Neal. Swilling was a Pro Bowler in 1993, but he never truly matched his New Orleans production with the Lions, registering 10 sacks before heading to Oakland, where he had 21 sacks in his last three years. -- Michael Rothstein

Green Bay Packers

The trade: In 1991, the Packers traded back with the Eagles from No. 8 to No. 19 in the first round and picked up a first-round pick in the 1992 draft.

Neither one of those picks directly resulted in a player worth noting -- the Packers picked Ohio State cornerback Vinny Clark at No. 19 in 1991 and they traded away the 1992 first-round pick. However, it was that extra first-rounder in 1992 that first-year GM Ron Wolf traded to the Falcons the following offseason for Brett Favre. Without a second first-round pick that year, maybe Wolf wouldn't have made the Favre trade -- a deal that began the turnaround from decades of losing. -- Rob Demovsky

Minnesota Vikings

The trade: In 2012, the Vikings traded back into the first round to select safety Harrison Smith.

The Vikings had already made one splash move during this draft, trading back one spot from No. 3 to No. 4 to get Matt Kalil (the player they wanted all along) and three other draft picks in fleecing the Browns by convincing them that another team was going to trade with the Vikings to get Trent Richardson, the player Cleveland really wanted. But Minnesota's biggest and longest-lasting impact came when general manager Rick Spielman decided he wasn't done on the first night of the draft. Minnesota had been eyeing Notre Dame's Smith but wasn't convinced he'd be there when the Vikings were set to pick again at No. 35 in the second round. To avoid missing out on a future Pro Bowler, Spielman sent a fourth-round pick to Baltimore to move up to No. 29 to draft Smith. Since that day, Smith has become an irreplaceable staple in the Vikings' defense and is routinely regarded as the most versatile safety in the NFL. -- Courtney Cronin

NFC SOUTH

Atlanta Falcons

The trade: In 2011, the Falcons traded five draft picks -- No. 27, their second-round pick (No. 59) and fourth-round pick (No. 124), along with their first- and fourth-round picks in 2012 -- to move up to No. 6 and select wide receiver Julio Jones.

Maybe it sounded like a crazy idea at the time, but general manager Thomas Dimitroff's gamble paid off when Jones developed into arguably the best wide receiver in the game. Meanwhile, none of the players the Browns acquired as a result of those draft picks -- Phil Taylor, Greg Little, Brandon Weeden, Owen Marecic and Trent Richardson -- is currently in the league. Safe to say the Falcons won the trade. -- Vaughn McClure

Carolina Panthers

The trade: In 2008, the Panthers traded picks in the second round (No. 43) and fourth round (No. 109), plus a first-round pick in 2009, to Philadelphia to get back into the first round (No. 19) for offensive tackle Jeff Otah.

The Panthers, who had selected running back Jonathan Stewart at No. 13, felt they were on the verge of a Super Bowl, so they moved up for Otah. He started 25 games his first two seasons, then developed knee issues that basically ended his career. The Eagles turned the 2009 pick (No. 28) into a trade with Buffalo to get tackle Jason Peters, who went on to become an eight-time Pro Bowl selection. The Panthers already had 2006 first-round pick DeAngelo Williams at running back when they took Stewart. They could have taken a tackle at No. 13, and had the option of Jamaal Charles or even Ray Rice in the second round without losing a pick. The domino effect after a 12-4 2008 season was four straight non-winning seasons. -- David Newton

New Orleans Saints

The trade: In 1999, the Saints traded eight picks for Ricky Williams.

Twenty years later, this still reigns as perhaps the most ridiculed trade in NFL history. Saints coach Mike Ditka was so enamored with the Heisman Trophy-winning running back that he sent all of New Orleans' 1999 draft picks, plus a first- and third-rounder in 2000, just to move up from No. 12 to No. 5. In truth, the deal didn't set the franchise back that far (the Saints won their first-ever playoff game in 2000 and wound up trading Williams to Miami for two first-round picks in 2002). But it was a flop in the immediate aftermath, when the Saints went 3-13 in 1999 and Ditka was fired. And those pictures of Ditka in dreadlocks and Williams in a wedding dress will forever live in infamy. -- Mike Triplett

Tampa Bay Buccaneers

The trade: In 1995, the Bucs traded from No. 7 to No. 12 and selected Miami defensive tackle Warren Sapp.

Tampa Bay also received the No. 43 and No. 63 picks, and sent No. 72 to Philly. The Bucs then traded No. 63 and their own second-round pick to the Cowboys to get back into the first round to select Florida State linebacker Derrick Brooks at No. 28. Sapp and Brooks became first-ballot Hall of Famers, marking just the third time in NFL history that two Hall of Famers were selected by the same team in the same round. Tampa Bay transformed into one of the most vaunted defenses in the league for a decade and won Super Bowl XXXVII. Prior to Sapp and Brooks, the Bucs had just one Hall of Famer (Lee Roy Selmon). -- Jenna Laine

NFC WEST

Arizona Cardinals

The trade: In 2017, Arizona traded up with Chicago, from No. 45 to No. 36, to select safety Budda Baker.

It was a major move by the Cardinals for the University of Washington product -- a player who could have a long-lasting impact on their defense. Arizona gave up a lot -- its fourth- and sixth-round picks and a fourth-round pick in 2018 -- for Baker and Chicago's seventh-round pick, but the move has worked. Baker already has established himself as an elite defender on the field, was named to the Pro Bowl as a rookie, and he's also a fan favorite -- a role once occupied by the departed Tyrann Mathieu. -- Josh Weinfuss

Los Angeles Rams

The trade: In 1996, the Rams traded running back Jerome Bettis and a third-round pick to the Steelers in exchange for a second-round pick in 1996 and a fourth-round pick in 1997.

With the second-round pick, the Rams selected tight end Ernie Conwell, and in 1997 the fourth-round pick was bundled in a trade. The Rams deemed Bettis expendable after they selected Nebraska running back Lawrence Phillips with the No. 6 pick in 1996. Bettis went on to win a Super Bowl in his Hall of Fame career. Phillips, who had extraordinary talent but known character issues, was released during his second season. -- Lindsey Thiry

San Francisco 49ers

The trade: In 1985, San Francisco traded its first-, second- and third-round picks (Nos. 28, 56 and 84) to the New England Patriots for their first- and third-round picks (Nos. 16 and 75).

Forget the most impactful draft-day trade in franchise history -- this move has a strong case for the biggest draft-day deal in the history of the league. The defending Super Bowl champion 49ers used the pick to select Jerry Rice at No. 16, helping to elevate the two-time champions into a full-fledged dynasty. Rice went on to set every major receiving record and stake his claim as one of the greatest players in NFL history. The players the Patriots got with their picks -- center Trevor Matich, defensive end Ben Thomas and defensive back Audray McMillian -- combined to play less than five full seasons for the Patriots. -- Nick Wagoner

Seattle Seahawks

The trade: In 1997, the Seahawks traded with Tampa Bay to go from No. 12 to No. 6, where they took future Hall of Famer Walter Jones.

It took only a third-round pick to move up six spots and land one of the best left tackles in NFL history. What's more, the future of the Seahawks was up in the air at the time, with Paul Allen having agreed to buy the team and keep it in Seattle on the condition that the public approve an initiative in June to help fund a new stadium. Then-owner Ken Behring wanted to trade both of the team's first-round picks because he didn't want to pay the hefty signing bonuses, so when Allen stepped up to foot the bill even though he had no assurance that he would eventually buy the team from Behring, it sent a strong message to voters about the type of owner he would be. -- Brady Henderson

SALT LAKE CITY -- James Harden claimed he had no clue that he missed his first 15 field goal attempts in Saturday's Game 3, the most consecutive misses from the floor in any game of his career. It certainly didn't impact the reigning MVP's confidence.

Harden scored 14 of his 22 points in the fourth quarter, hitting three of his last five field goal attempts, to help put the Houston Rockets on the brink of sweeping the Utah Jazz with a not-so-pretty 104-101 win.

"Keep shooting, keep being aggressive," said Harden, who finished 3-of-20 from the floor, 2-of-13 from 3-point range and 14-of-16 from the free throw line. "0-of-15, 14-of-15, 15-of-15, my job is to go out there and produce and be aggressive and in attack mode. Nothing changes."

Harden's 15 missed field goal attempts to begin the game were the most in the playoffs in the past 20 seasons, according to ESPN Stats & Information research. His first bucket didn't come until there was 7:34 remaining in the fourth quarter, and then Harden threw down a breakaway dunk.

On the next possession, Harden swished a step-back 3 from the "U" in the half-court logo, with his swagger certainly not sagging after he bricked his first nine 3-point attempts.

With the Rockets' lead down to one, Harden hit another step-back 3 with 1:11 remaining, providing a critical counterpunch during the Jazz's attempt to rally. Harden, who had 10 assists, was 4-for-4 from the line in the final two minutes to help Houston hold off Utah.

"Regardless of how you play during a game, you know that at the end of the game, that's James Harden," Jazz coach Quin Snyder said. "He's that good at the end. You give yourself a very small margin. With that said, I thought we laid it out there. I'm proud of how we played and how we competed. We just didn't get a win tonight to reflect that."

Harden, who won his second consecutive scoring title by averaging a career-best 36.1 points per game during the regular season, averaged 30.5 points during the Rockets' routs in the first two games of the series.

The Jazz, the second-ranked defense during the regular season, were humiliated by how Harden picked them apart in Houston and vowed to be more aggressive and competitive when the series shifted to Vivint Smart Home Arena in Salt Lake City.

"The way we started the game, we were tough," Jazz center Rudy Gobert said. "I don't think they felt us in the first two games. We should play that way every night. I think that's who we are, and we've got to play the same way every night."

Harden, however, declined to credit Utah's defense for his off shooting night. That's pretty much Harden's policy, as he prides himself on being a historically elite offensive force who consistently hits tough shots.

Asked if he noticed a higher level of intensity from the Jazz's defense, Harden smirked and said, "Nope, just missed a couple of shots. Two or three, I think."

Seated next to Harden at the podium, teammate Chris Paul cracked: "Gobert threw a couple of 'em, too."

Indeed, two of Gobert's seven blocks came at Harden's expense, and the reigning Defensive Player of the Year's presence was felt on some of Harden's other misses. The Jazz guards, primarily Ricky Rubio and Royce O'Neale, also did a better job of contesting Harden's shots than they did the previous two games.

"They played him tough, there's no doubt about it," Rockets coach Mike D'Antoni said. "They got into him, and they did what they were supposed to do, but James normally figures that stuff out anyway. So he just didn't have a great night -- and it happens."

Fortunately for the Rockets, Jazz star Donovan Mitchell also had an extended shooting drought, despite getting off to a spectacular start, and that allowed Houston to hang around even with Harden's off night.

Mitchell made five of his first six shots from the floor, including a spectacular alley-oop finish and an and-1 3-pointer during the Jazz's 8-0 run to open the game. But Mitchell, the only Utah player capable of creating his own shot on a consistent basis, missed 11 shots in a row at one point and finished with 34 points on 9-of-27 shooting.

"That's just my role, and I can't miss that many shots," said Mitchell, who is shooting 32.8 percent from the floor in the series. "I've got to be able to hit those, and we've got to capitalize."

Mitchell's final miss was an open 3-pointer behind a Gobert screen on the right wing that would have tied the game with 8.7 seconds remaining. The Jazz are 27-of-106 from 3-point range in the series.

Rockets power forward PJ Tucker grabbed the rebound of Mitchell's final miss and swished the dagger free throws. It was a fitting finish after Tucker grabbed a crucial offensive rebound in traffic on the Rockets' previous possession.

For much of the Rockets' season, Harden carried his team with his historic scoring feats. This victory served as proof that Houston can find a way to win even when its superstar has a rough night.

"I didn't shoot the ball well, and we still won," Harden said. "Guys stepped up major tonight, and that's what we're going to need."

INDIANAPOLIS -- It's hard to imagine how Easter Sunday could've gone much better for Gordon Hayward.

The Boston Celtics forward missed last year's playoff run because of the gruesome, season-ending leg and ankle injuries he suffered six minutes into the season opener in Cleveland, but this time, he was healthy. He was playing in the playoffs about 20 miles from his hometown of Brownsburg, Indiana, and he had his wife and three daughters on hand for the game.

He also had 20 points on 7-for-9 shooting -- including 3-for-3 from 3-point range -- to go with three rebounds, two assists, two steals and a block to help propel the Celtics to a 110-106 victory over the Indiana Pacers. The win completed a four-game sweep for Boston, sending it into an all but certain and highly anticipated matchup with the Milwaukee Bucks in the Eastern Conference semifinals beginning next weekend.

"Yeah, there's nothing worse than sitting there and not be able to play in the playoffs especially," Hayward said. "So to be able to be with my teammates, be a part of something like this where we got a chance to sweep the Pacers, after everything that happened last year, it makes it all worth it -- no doubt.

"And it's just the beginning for us. We still got a lot of work to do."

All season, as the Celtics have waxed and waned, their fate has always been tied to Hayward's play and his progress back from the injuries and subsequent surgeries that cost him a year of his basketball life. Sunday's performance was the latest example of that -- and it offered hope, from Boston's perspective, that what the Celtics hoped to accomplish when this season began is still in front of them.

The irony of this Celtics season is that while the team was largely (and fairly) criticized throughout the regular season for its failure to make significant steps forward as the season progressed, Hayward quietly did so in the background. He became gradually more aggressive as the season went on, and some of the explosiveness of his game before the injuries has returned.

That was certainly on display in this one, particularly when Hayward brought the ball up the court, took off and threw down a vicious slam dunk, even though it was waived off thanks to an offensive foul on Aron Baynes. Two or three months ago, such a play wouldn't have been in Hayward's arsenal.

When the Celtics needed to close the Pacers out, there was Hayward scoring all nine of his points to help push Boston's lead from four points with five minutes to go to 10 points with a minute left, ensuring that there would be no need for this series to go back to Boston for a fifth game.

It also meant that the Celtics improved to 7-0 this season when Hayward scores at least 20 points -- another indicator of how much it matters to Boston to get him going.

"I was just very happy for Gordon," center Al Horford said. "[With] all the adversity that he's faced, to be able to come over here in such an important game and give us such a big lift, big shot after big shot, here in Indiana ... I was so hyped for him and glad that we were able to close it out.

"He's one of the main reasons why."

Game 4, like the rest of this rock fight of a series, was a confusing one to decipher. That the Celtics won a game in which Kyrie Irving and Horford went a combined 8-for-32 from the field, including 1-for-10 from 3-point range, is a testament to both Boston's bench -- Hayward, Marcus Morris and Terry Rozier combined to go 18-for-26 from the field, including 7-for-11 from 3-point range, and scored 49 points -- and Indiana's ongoing offensive ineptitude.

Indiana barely crept over 40 percent from the field in this one, thanks to a few meaningless baskets in the final minute, and it struggled to score for long stretches of the game. All-Star Victor Oladipo was in the building for the first time since he ruptured his quad tendon on Jan. 26, and it was easy to wonder how different things might have been for the Pacers had he been healthy. While Indiana deserves credit for playing hard every moment of this series, ultimately it couldn't score enough to win even one of what turned out to be three toss-up games in the final three contests.

"You can play all the defense you want," Pacers center Myles Turner said. "You've got to put the ball in the hoop at the end of the day."

That the Pacers couldn't for long stretches of this series meant they became the first team eliminated from these playoffs, which means the Celtics can begin to look ahead to their likely matchup with Milwaukee.

Barring a truly historic collapse, the Celtics and Bucks will kick off their series next weekend in Milwaukee in a rematch of the first-round series the two teams went through last season. But while many of the players from last year's showdown remain on both sides, the differences in both teams are profound.

Milwaukee, of course, changed coaches, hiring Mike Budenholzer, who implemented a system that has brought out the best in Giannis Antetokounmpo, this season's likely Most Valuable Player. The team also signed Brook Lopez and Ersan Ilyasova in free agency and traded for Nikola Mirotic prior to February's trade deadline, all of which helped the team earn the NBA's best record.

The Celtics, on the other hand, have both Irving and Hayward at their disposal after both had to watch last year's playoffs in street clothes due to injuries. They were supposed to be the ones driving Boston forward last year and making the Celtics into a championship contender. Instead, their injuries opened doors for the likes of Rozier, Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum to take significant steps forward earlier than anticipated.

One of the major themes of this season has been the Celtics' difficulty in getting the depth they have at their disposal working in harmonious fashion on the court. But ultimately, for Boston to get where it wants to go, Hayward needs to have more performances like the one he had Sunday.

"It's been a long process to get back to where he probably feels as good as he does now," Celtics coach Brad Stevens said. "We knew that going in. We said all year [that] every 20 games he's going to be a little bit better, and he was big at the end of the game tonight for sure."

LOS ANGELES -- Golden State Warriors All-Star swingman Klay Thompson said that a few moments in the Pacific Ocean on Saturday helped him clear his head after a slow start to the playoffs. After scoring 42 points combined in the first three games, Thompson scored 32 points in 40 minutes on Sunday in the Warriors' 113-105 Game 4 win over the LA Clippers.

"I didn't think I had bad games, but I didn't have any big games," Thompson said of his early series performance. "I told Jonas [Jerebko on Saturday] -- we went to the beach and played some volleyball -- I'm like, 'Yo, I'm just going to jump in the ocean, and I just know that will reset my mind.' And it worked. I don't know if I'm going to jump [in the water] up north [in the Bay Area] because it's freezing, but it's something I'll definitely contemplate if I don't shoot the ball that well the rest of the year. But hopefully that doesn't happen."

Thompson started the game 7-for-7 from the field and was shooting with confidence all game, as his teammates tried to find him up and down the floor. After seeing his friend walk back into the team hotel after his trip to the beach on Saturday, Warriors star Stephen Curry had no doubt that Thompson, who spent part of his childhood in the Los Angeles area when his father, Mychal, played for the Lakers, would get things rolling in Game 4.

"It's the home cookin'," Curry said. "I know the Pacific Ocean is undefeated. He got his feet wet [Saturday], walked in the hotel with a wet T-shirt, with his shades on. A typical Klay type of vibe. I just had a smile on my face when I saw him because I knew what that meant. It was nice for him to show out like he did. We needed every bit of it, for sure."

As has been the case throughout the season, the Warriors never doubted that Thompson would get rolling. His teammates and coaches have repeatedly said how confident they are in his game, even when he goes through colder stretches.

"When Klay gets going like that, it fuels the whole bench," Warriors head coach Steve Kerr said. "You can see everybody jumping around. Everybody gets happy. We all love when Klay gets hot. It fuels our momentum. It didn't surprise me at all. He kind of had a quiet first few games of the series, so it was only a matter of time until he broke out."

Thompson's offensive output came on a day when Curry was 3-for-14 from the field. Thompson walked the hallways of Staples Center with a renewed confidence, as he wore sunglasses and the hint of a smile as he headed to meet with reporters. He knows that the Warriors, now up 3-1 in the series, appear to be on a collision course with the Houston Rockets, and he hopes his team can close out this series on Wednesday in Game 5 so the Rockets don't get much extra rest if they sweep the Utah Jazz on Monday.

"We see our opponent. They're up 3-0," Thompson told ESPN's Lisa Salters after the game, in reference to the Rockets. "So we don't want to give them any more rest days. Same with us. We don't want to extend the series any longer than we need to. 'Cause every game is so pivotal in the playoffs, and we'll give our fans a show, redeem ourselves from the last time we were in Oracle, 'cause we owe 'em one."

The NBA said Sunday that Nets center Jarrett Allen was fouled in the final seconds of Saturday's Game 4 against the Philadelphia 76ers in Brooklyn.

According to the league's Last Two Minute Report, Sixers forward Tobias Harris grabbed Allen, preventing him from rolling from his screen and releasing to the basket sooner.

If Harris hadn't grabbed Allen, he might've had enough time to dunk the ball and tie the game. Instead, the extra second allowed him to be corralled by three defenders, and he eventually turned the ball over, preventing the Nets from attempting a potential game-tying -- or winning -- shot in the final seconds.

Harris was eventually fouled and sank two free throws with 4.9 seconds remaining to seal the 112-108 win for Philadelphia, which gave the Sixers a 3-1 lead in the best-of-seven series.

"So the big point of emphasis this year was the wrapping, wrapping the player when he rolls to the rim," Nets coach Kenny Atkinson said after Saturday's game. "Judge for yourself if you watch the clip, but there was a clear wrap by Tobias Harris on the roll.

"I am just disappointed. That was a point of emphasis on day one at the coaches' meetings -- that they were going to emphasize that at the beginning of the game, the end of the game and all season. So how that all of a sudden doesn't become a foul on the wrap, I don't understand that."

There was one other missed call, as the league said Nets guard Spencer Dinwiddie should've been called for a carry with 1:45 remaining.

The league also announced Saturday afternoon that Jared Dudley had been fined $25,000 and Jimmy Butler $15,000 for their roles in escalating the fracas that briefly spilled into the stands midway through the third quarter following a hard foul on Allen by Joel Embiid.

Embiid was called for a flagrant foul on the play, which league sources told ESPN would stand as called and not be downgraded retroactively to a common foul. That means Embiid remains with two flagrant foul points, putting him halfway to an automatic one-game suspension, which kicks in when a player reaches four flagrant foul points in the playoffs.

Brooklyn and Philadelphia resume their series Tuesday at Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, where the Sixers will try to close out the series.

OKLAHOMA CITY -- With their starters heading to the bench with 40 seconds left, Game 4 in hand and a 3-1 series lead in their pocket on the way back home, the Portland Trail Blazers had an opportunity to bask in their 111-98 win over the Oklahoma City Thunder a little. But there was no celebrating, no trash talking, no taunting, no dunks at the buzzer. It was, as Damian Lillard said, all business from start to finish.

"After Game 3, we were in the locker room saying they lived at the free throw line and all this stuff, but Game 4, we're not talking to nobody but ourselves," Lillard said. "Referees can call it how they want to call, we're just going to worry about ourselves.

"After last game, it was a big deal being made out of the back-and-forth and we weren't emotional about it -- we were just competing," Lillard continued. "We were just passionate about the game as well. But like I said earlier, we didn't really engage in it because our focus was our team. Like I told you guys, we're not gonna come out here and go crazy on the referees, we're not gonna go out here and get in any shouting matches and back-and-forths and all that stuff. We're gonna focus on the stuff we need to focus on that's gonna give us a chance to win the game. I was proud of how our team stuck to that."

Lillard, who started 0-of-6 and didn't make his first shot until 1:15 left in the first half, cooked once again in the third quarter, finishing with 24 points on 7-of-19 shooting plus 8 assists. Guard CJ McCollum was essential in putting the Thunder away, scoring 27 on 10-of-20 shooting. A number of times, Lillard and McCollum were vocal with teammates, once pulling forward Zach Collins aside for an animated conversation after the second-year player was called for defensive three seconds.

"We're a lot more mature than we were in past years," McCollum said. "We can handle adversity. We understood what we wanted to accomplish tonight and we didn't want anything to get in the way. Multiple times we had discussions about not saying anything to anyone. If they don't have a black-and-gray jersey on, don't talk to him. Talk to our team. Don't talk to the refs, don't talk to the other team. Execute our game plan and let's get out of here with the win."

Once again, Lillard and McCollum outplayed the Thunder's two stars, with Paul George finishing with 32 points on 8-of-21 shooting, while Russell Westbrook had only 14 points on 5-of-21 shooting. Westbrook started hot, hitting a couple of 3-pointers early, and a pull-up jumper over Lillard in the first quarter. After he hit it, Westbrook stuck out his tongue and shot a look at the Portland bench. He was more restrained as well, but that might have had more to do with the fact he didn't have many more opportunities to talk.

Westbrook finished the game missing 10 straight shots and had only one point on 0-of-7 shooting in the second half. According to ESPN Stats & Information research, it was the worst shooting half of Westbrook's career (his previous worst was 0-of-4 against the Clippers in 2014). Westbrook missed at least 15 shots for the 29th time in his playoff career, the most in the league since 2009-10 (his first playoff appearance) by eight games.

Westbrook relied heavily on his jump shot, taking only three shots in the paint in Game 4 and missing all three. It was only the second time in Westbrook's playoff career he went scoreless in the paint.

"It wasn't taken away," Westbrook said of getting to the rim. "I get deep paint any time I want, but I always make the right play. So when I'm in deep paint I find guys on the perimeter. Hit [Steven Adams]. My job is to make sure guys get the basketball. I don't need to shoot a layup every single time. But I'm in the paint all game, and that's how it goes sometimes. Shot attempts is not the only thing that I can do to make sure I'm in it for the defense, and kick it out to make open shots."

The Blazers, though, were clearly content with letting Westbrook shoot. As Al-Farouq Aminu checked back in midway through the fourth quarter, Blazers assistant David Vanterpool told him, "Don't help on Russ; let him shoot." Later in the quarter, with Westbrook isolated by the 3-point line with Enes Kanter guarding him, the entire Blazers bench was screaming, "Back up! Back up! Back up!" Westbrook pulled up for a 3-pointer, which rattled in and out.

"Midrange jumpers, that's his shot," Lillard said. "Sometimes he takes pull-up 3 pointers and just having a presence -- and those are the shots we're making available, I guess. And that's what we're living with."

And despite Westbrook making his first couple -- and letting the Blazers know about it -- the Thunder died with them on Sunday.

Game 5 is Tuesday in Portland, and the Blazers can eliminate the Thunder. As he left the floor, Kanter kept repeating to himself, "One more, one more, one more." They expect an even more desperate Thunder team, especially after Westbrook's flat performance.

The Blazers have resoundingly bounced back after an embarrassing sweep last postseason, which highlighted 10 straight playoff losses. After Jusuf Nurkic was injured, the Thunder were the popular pick in the series, but the Blazers were undeterred.

"We don't focus on doubters, we focus on ourselves," Lillard said. "We accept the responsibility of our past two playoff performances and we moved on. I think that's one of the biggest and one of the best things that we did for ourselves, was not hold on to it. We moved on and we're having a better run now. We just got to finish it."

OAKLAND, Calif. -- Oakland Athletics pitcher Brett Anderson was pulled from his start against Toronto with a left ankle sprain suffered while running off the mound in the third inning.

Randal Grichuk hit a slow infield grounder between third base and the mound. Anderson quickly moved to field the ball, slipped, then got up limping as a team trainer came out with manager Bob Melvin.

After a brief discussion, Anderson threw two warm-up pitches before Melvin called for reliever Yusmeiro Petit.

Anderson allowed two runs on four hits and retired eight batters.

If Anderson has to pitch against Toronto again, he might want to call in sick. His ankle injury came less than a year after he sprained his shoulder the previous time he faced the Blue Jays on May 18, 2018.

"I'll be fine,'' Anderson said after Oakland's 5-4 loss. "I'll come in tomorrow and see how it feels.''

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Matt Kemp exited Sunday's 4-3 loss to the San Diego Padres in the fourth inning after running into the left-field wall at Petco Park while tracking a fly ball one inning earlier.

He was diagnosed with a chest wall contusion, according to the team.

Kemp slammed into the wall while reaching up to catch a ball hit by Wil Myers in the third inning. He threw the ball back to the infield and initially stayed in the game after trainers checked on him.

He then struck out in the top of the fourth inning and was replaced in the outfield by Scott Schebler to open the bottom of the inning.

Reds manager David Bell said Kemp "was a little dazed, but he was adamant about staying in the game'' after trying to catch Myers' drive to left.

"I knew he was in a little bit of pain," Bell continued. "We were just hoping it was a temporary thing, but after he came back in from hitting it was pretty obvious that we needed to get him out of there.

"He's a tough guy and he went into the wall hard and almost came up with a great catch."
