A year later, Timberwolves still plagued by late-game offensive woes

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 04:18:06 GMT

The Timberwolves picked up Tuesday right where they left off with their postseason play in 2022.After three blown double-digit fourth-quarter leads in a playoff series loss to Memphis led to the team’s first-round exit a year ago, Minnesota again coughed up a 10-point advantage in the final period of its play-in game against the Lakers.And it was the same old story, same old song and dance. The offense stagnated to incomparable levels. Karl-Anthony Towns couldn’t get himself a decent look for a shot. Anthony Edwards jacked up difficult outside shots. Minnesota made mind-numbing turnovers.“We’re still learning, and playing in these high-leverage situations is huge for us. I thought composure-wise, again, we showed it in our shot selection in the fourth and it’s baked in our DNA right now, and we know we have to learn from this,” Timberwolves coach Chris Finch said. “We’re not all just going to be able to save the day. But moving forward, we’ll learn, and...

Next steps in Chief Judge nomination process

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 04:18:06 GMT

ALBANY, N.Y. (WTEN) -- Following the Senate’s rejection of Hector LaSalle as Hochul’s initial Chief Judge nomination, the Governor has nominated Rowan Wilson for Chief Judge and Caitlin Halligan to replace Wilson as Associate Judge. Her nominations are being backed by the support of Democrats, but he may not be conservative enough to win everyone over. Lineup announced for Averill Park Restaurant Week "Rowan Wilson is brilliant, he’s been on the Court of Appeals, he’s extraordinarily bright, he’s very, very personable, he tends to be more liberal," said Vincent Bonventre, professor of Law at Albany Law. This could be why the Senate is showing their support for Wilson in contrast to LaSalle who they felt would be too conservative for New York. Bonventre said Wilson tends to favor the rights of the accused, as opposed to law and order and crime control. Bonventre also said Wilson favors the rights of the workers rather than the rights of businesses.  "What that means is that I think...

Missouri House hearing on ‘parents bill of rights’ centers diversity education

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 04:18:06 GMT

A prohibition on diversity curriculum in public schools was the focus of debate Wednesday in a Missouri House committee, as lawmakers heard testimony on the Senate version of “parents bill of rights” legislation.Sen. Andrew Koenig, a Manchester Republican and the bill’s sponsor, said the legislation doesn’t explicitly ban “critical race theory” but instead describes concepts that would be banned. One such idea is “that individuals of any race, ethnicity, color, or national origin are inherently superior or inferior.”Koenig testified Wednesday that his son’s friend was separated by race and taught about racial oppression in class. This is the type of lesson he is trying to stop, he said.Rep. Maggie Nurrenbern, D-Kansas City, said “as an educator of 13 years” she had never seen children separated by race.“There are a lot of unintended consequences to legislation we pass, and my fear is that we would tie the hands of educators who are just doing their best to educate our students and t...
