Last Night in Sports: May 31, 2026

Sunday closed the month with a fifteen-game MLB board that ran the full spectrum: a thirteen-run inning, a nineteen-run road game, and a pair of one-run finishes underneath. Both league boards stayed dark. San Antonio is idling between Saturday's Game 7 in Oklahoma City and Wednesday's Finals tip, and the Stanley Cup Final doesn't open until Tuesday in Carolina.

NBA — No games

The NBA scoreboard was dark Sunday. The Finals open Wednesday, June 3 in San Antonio, with the New York Knicks visiting the Spurs for Game 1.

NHL — No games

The NHL board was also dark. The Stanley Cup Final between the Vegas Golden Knights and Carolina Hurricanes opens Tuesday, June 2 in Raleigh.
