Knicks Looking to Take Command of NBA Finals, Spurs Hoping to Tie the Title Series

Knicks Looking to Take Command of NBA Finals, Spurs Hoping to Tie the Title Series

Published by Sam Flores

SAN ANTONIO (AP) — Jalen Brunson was the star of Game 1 of the NBA Finals, willing the New York Knicks to a series-opening win. Victor Wembanyama, even while struggling from the field, put up big numbers for the San Antonio Spurs in his finals debut as well. The finals, though, tends to get won by the sum of the other parts. Game 2 of the title series is Friday night in San Antonio, with the Spurs hoping to pull into a tie before the series heads to New York — and the Knicks aiming at becoming the first team since Houston in 1995 to start the NBA Finals with two road wins. Tipoff is at 8:42 p.m. EDT and the game will be aired on ABC. The Spurs are 6.5-point favorites. New York got 30 points from Brunson in the Game 1 win, in which the Knicks rallied from 14 points down in the third quarter and closed the game on an 11-0 run. And while Brunson got tons of credit, the Knicks pointed …

Torn by war, Israelis and Palestinians tie their fortunes together : NPR

This year’s cohort of Israeli and Palestinian entrepreneurs taking part in 50:50 Startups is smaller than usual, because the war prevented many from travelling. 50:50 co-founder Amir Grinsteen (third from right) founded the program seven years ago, believing that building businesses together would also build lasting bridges, that could advance the cause of peace. Dena Yadin hide caption toggle caption Dena Yadin BOSTON – Salah Hussein was 11 years old when he was woken up in the middle of the night by Israeli soldiers in his family home in Nablus in the West Bank. It left him traumatized and terrified for years. It was “triggering” to see any Israeli in uniform, he says. “For me, all of them were a threat.” But decades later, Hussein, now a 33-year-old entrepreneur, has willingly and purposefully tied his fortune to his co-founder, who is an Israeli Jew. Hussein is one of about 35 entrepreneurs taking part in a start-up accelerator program called 50:50 Startups, where mixed teams of Palestinians, Israeli Arabs and Israeli Jews spend six months in …

The Reds Tie an MLB Record by Walking 7 Straight Batters in a 17-7 Loss to the Pirates

The Reds Tie an MLB Record by Walking 7 Straight Batters in a 17-7 Loss to the Pirates

Published by Sam Flores

PITTSBURGH (AP) — The Cincinnati Reds issued a Major League Baseball record-tying seven straight walks during the second inning of a 17-7 loss to the Pittsburgh Pirates on Saturday. It was the third time in major league history that a team had walked that many batters consecutively — and the first time in more than four decades, according to the Elias Sports Bureau and Sportradar. Pittsburgh also was at bat when Atlanta walked seven straight in the third inning on May 25, 1983. The only other time it happened was on Aug. 28, 1909, when the Chicago White Sox issued seven straight bases on balls to the Washington Senators. The string of free passes resulted in the Pirates scoring five runs in the inning without a hit. Starter Rhett Lowder issued the first three walks before he was pulled. “No excuses for that,” Lowder said, according to MLB.com. “I just didn’t really have anything today. I was trying and just couldn’t get back in the zone.” Lowder walked Brandon Lowe with one out and the …

Lindsay Hubbard Wears Horsehair Tie to Shade Amanda, West Scandal

Lindsay Hubbard Wears Horsehair Tie to Shade Amanda, West Scandal

Published by Daniella Wilson

Lindsay Hubbard is sharing her thoughts on the ongoing Summer House scandal and revealing just how “activated” she got while filming the season 10 reunion. During Tuesday’s episode of Watch What Happens Live, host Andy Cohen asked Hubbard about the horsehair tie she was sporting for the episode — a clear callback to West Wilson’s now infamous Feb. 3 appearance on the series, where he denied his romance with Amanda Batula. “You’re wearing the horsehair tie that West was wearing when he was here,” Cohen pointed out, to which Hubbard responded, seemingly throwing shade toward Batula, “This is from Meija Moreno. You can go to her Instagram, and some would call it being a girl’s girl.” Wilson gave Meija Moreno a shoutout during his last WWHL stint, and it’s been since rumored that they were in some sort of relationship right up until he and Batula announced they were together. Hubbard is the first original Summer House cast member to appear on WWHL since Batula and Wilson confirmed their romance in late March. After a …

TORONTO (AP) — Scottie Barnes hit the go-ahead free throws in the final minute and finished with 23 points, Brandon Ingram also scored 23 and the Toronto Raptors beat the Cleveland Cavaliers 93-89 on Sunday, tying the Eastern Conference first-round playoff series at two games apiece. The best-of-seven series shifts to Cleveland for Game 5 on Wednesday. “Now it’s a best of three,” Cavaliers guard James Harden said. RJ Barrett scored 18 points and Collin Murray-Boyles had 15 points and 10 rebounds for the Raptors, who won despite shooting 4 for 30 from 3-point range. “We’re just trying to go out there and win, take it one possession at a time,” Barnes said. “That’s all we’re focussing on.” Barnes had nine rebounds and six assists as Toronto won back-to-back postseason games for the first time since a first-round loss to Philadelphia in 2022. “We just never, never flinched,” Raptors coach Darko Rajakovic said. “We continued guarding and guarding.” Donovan Mitchell scored 12 of his 20 points in the fourth quarter and Harden added 19, but …

The Greatest Documentary You’ve Never Heard Of: An Introduction to Wang Bing’s Nine-Hour Tie Xi Qu

Published by José Betancourt

The Chi­nese film­mak­er Wang Bing’s ‘Til Mad­ness Do Us Part, a doc­u­men­tary about a men­tal insti­tu­tion in Yun­nan, runs three hours and 48 min­utes. Beau­ty Lives in Free­dom, on the life of impris­oned artist Gao Ertai, is five and a half hours long; Dead Souls, on the sur­vivors of a hard-labor camp in the Gobi Desert, eight hours and fif­teen min­utes. Even if you know noth­ing else of his work, you may get the impres­sion that Wang isn’t the most shame­less­ly com­mer­cial of film­mak­ers. The extreme dura­tion of some of his movies sure­ly make them a hard sell, as do his grim choic­es of sub­ject mat­ter. But if you want to under­stand the trans­for­ma­tion of mod­ern Chi­na, you could hard­ly find a rich­er body of cin­e­mat­ic work. In the video essay above, YouTu­ber Ken Dai extols the virtues of Wang’s first film: Tie Xi Qu: West of the Tracks, whose more than nine hours of footage depict the last years of the tit­u­lar indus­tri­al dis­trict of Shenyang.

PSG take control of Champions League semi-finals tie with win against Liverpool – Sports

Published by Sam Flores

PSG took a big step towards the Champions League semi-finals with a 2-0 win over Liverpool at home in the first leg. Désiré Doué opened the scoring in the 11th minute, before Khvicha Kvaratskhelia doubled the lead in the 65th minute. The reigning champions could even have regrets, given how much they dominated the match (74 percent possession, 18 shots). In the other match of the evening, Atletico Madrid claimed a surprising 2-0 victory over Barcelona. Antoine Griezmann’s side capitalised on Pau Cubarsí’s red card in the 43rd minute to gain a significant advantage ahead of the second leg in Madrid next Tuesday. In tennis, Daniil Medvedev had a nightmare day in Monte Carlo. The world No. 10 lost 6-0, 6-0 to Italy’s Matteo Berrettini, a first in his career. Source link

Leeds and West Ham deliver ludicrous Cup tie free from Premier League constraints

Leeds and West Ham deliver ludicrous Cup tie free from Premier League constraints

Published by Sam Flores

We are back after Saturday’s goalfest in the FA Cup quarter-finals and this afternoon West Ham take on Leeds United at the London Stadium. It is a draw which raises the question of whether both teams can put their Premier League predicament aside in the hope of a Wembley trip for their fans. Nuno Espirito Santo’s side come into the match having drawn six of their last eight games in 90 minutes across all competitions. Despite this new-found consistency, a lacklustre performance in their last outing against Aston Villa cost them crucial ground in the relegation battle, with Nottingham Forest moving three points clear with their win at Spurs. At home, West Ham have not lost a game at in the last three months. Posing as a tricky side to defeat in front of their home crowd, they strive to keep this cup run alive and reach their first FA Cup semi-final since they finished runners-up in 2006. Twenty years on, this competition has been something to savour for the London side this year, despite …

Bompastor fury at unpunished hair pull in frantic end to Champions League tie

Bompastor fury at unpunished hair pull in frantic end to Champions League tie

Published by Sam Flores

In the first leg, Bompastor hit out at officiating in women’s football after controversy that saw Veerle Buurman have a goal ruled out for a foul, in a match Arsenal went on to win 3-1. After the match at the Emirates, Bompastor argued for “more respect” for her players, but after the return fixture, was left furious again and calling for the same officiating changes, while reiterating the same grievances. “I’m really frustrated and upset, not only for me, I think for my players,” Bompastor said. “They deserve more respect, from the performance they put on the pitch, they deserve a lot more respect.” Bompastor then recalled four or five previous incidents over the years where she felt the wrong decision had been made in Champions League matches. The game itself consisted of an uneventful 90 minutes, before a flurry of activity in stoppage time, it is unlikely that anyone making a highlights reel would feel the need to include any of the action before Chelsea upped the ante in the 83rd minute.
