The Spurs held Dallas to one field goal in the final seven minutes to rally for a 90-85 win Sunday in Game 1 of their first-round playoff series. The Mavericks also went scoreless for 5½ minutes during that stretch, their lone field goal coming with less than a second remaining....

Many players find the virtual space a more manageable way to play DnD and it allows for players across the world to join in adventures together in ways that were unprecedented in the genre.
