The yearslong search to find a new home for the Oakland Athletics took a big step to becoming a reality Thursday, when all 30 MLB owners voted unanimously to approve the relocation of the team to Las Vegas.

Given the way the season opener went just a few days earlier, there were undoubtedly some fans beginning to fret. Then UNLV hit three consecutive 3-pointers, went on an 11-2 run, and that was that. Kevin Kruger’s squad was never really threatened the rest of the way in a 71-55 win that got the team back on track, at least for now. What did those 3’s have in common? Freshman point guard D.J.
