The NBA’s in-season tournament quarterfinals are here. Next stop: Las Vegas

Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 19:17:44 GMT

It’s four regular-season games in early December. Ordinarily, they’d be forgotten shortly after the final buzzer. That likely won’t happen this time. The NBA’s inaugural In-Season Tournament has reached the knockout stage — with quarterfinal games on Monday and Tuesday to decide which four teams go to Las Vegas later this week to play for the NBA Cup and the bulk of a prize pool that will total about $18 million.Monday’s games have Boston visiting Indiana and New Orleans going to Sacramento. On Tuesday, it’ll be New York at Milwaukee and Phoenix at the Los Angeles Lakers. Winners go to the semifinals while losers are out and will play a regular-season game later this week against another team that lost in the quarterfinals.“I just want to make every appeal I can to our fans that we need the loudest building possible,” Pacers coach Rick Carlisle said. “To show you that no good deed goes unpunished, we draw the team with ...

DeSantis marks Iowa milestone as caucuses near. Trump says his rival’s campaign is in deep trouble

Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 19:17:44 GMT

NEWTON, Iowa (AP) — Ron DeSantis completed his campaign promise to visit each of Iowa’s 99 counties, crossing a symbolic but also tactical threshold by telling his audience in a central Iowa town “this should show you that I consider myself a servant, not a ruler.”Former President Donald Trump, who still remains far ahead of DeSantis, mocked him at a larger rally about 100 miles away on Saturday and said the Florida governor’s campaign was falling “like a very seriously wounded bird.”In that way, the Florida governor’s moment, much like the months of campaigning so far, took place under Trump’s towering shadow.The presence of Trump on DeSantis’ day of accomplishment underscores the challenge he and other Trump rivals face in Iowa. DeSantis has said he expects to win the caucuses. He’s focused much of his campaign on the state and a super PAC supporting him has invested more than $16 million in advertising and more on building a campaign organization for the Jan. 15 caucu...

ROMA – Por segundo domingo consecutivo, el papa Francisco no asistió a su popular comparecencia por su ventana sobre la Plaza de San Pedro, pero en comentarios televisados dijo que se sentía mejor aunque no tuvo voz para leer en voz alta sus comentarios completos.Tal como hizo la semana anterior, Francisco hizo comentarios muy abreviados desde la capilla del hotel donde vive y donde se recupera de lo que dice es bronquitis infecciosa. Miles de espectadores lo observaban proyectado en enormes pantallas en la Plaza de San Pedro.Francisco, quien este mes cumplirá 87 años, también dijo que está atento a la conferencia climática de la ONU que tiene lugar en Dubái. El pontífice debía ir a la conferencia COP28 el viernes y hablar ante los presentes. “Todavía estoy vivo”, el papa Francisco se disculpa por no poder hablar más “Gracias a Dios no es una pulmonía”, lo último sobre la salud del papa Francisco En su primera aparición desd...

Here’s why the UAE, the autocratic COP28 host, has to allow limited protests at the summit

Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 19:17:44 GMT

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Participants at the United Nations’ COP28 climate talks Sunday found themselves greeted by the rarest sights in the United Arab Emirates — public protests. From the largest demonstration seen in the UAE since the start of the raging Israel-Hamas war to environmental issues, activists allowed into the UAE can protest under strict guidelines in this autocratic nation inside the summit. Meanwhile, human rights researchers from organizations long banned by the country also have been let in, providing them some the opportunity for the first time in about a decade to offer criticism — though many acknowledge it may see them never allowed back in the country.“One of our major issues with COP28 is the fact that the UAE government is using this to burnish its image internationally and the fact that limited protests are allowed … is a good thing,” said Joey Shea, now on her first trip to the Emirates as a researcher focused on the country at Huma...

Mbappe, Vitinha score as 10-man PSG beats Le Havre 2-0 following Donnarumma’s red card

Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 19:17:44 GMT

PARIS (AP) — Paris Saint-Germain had no problem beating Le Havre 2-0 to extend its lead at the top of the French league standings on Sunday despite playing for more than 80 minutes with 10 men after goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma was sent off for a reckless tackle. Goals from Kylian Mbappe and Vitinha ensured a seventh consecutive league win for Luis Enrique’s team. PSG has a four-point cushion at the top after second-place Nice was handed its first loss this season on Saturday, a 1-0 defeat at Nantes.Le Havre got off to a strong start with several good moves but lacked accuracy to inflict any damage. The hosts produced 22 shots, but only seven of them were on target.Donnarumma was sent off following a reckless foul outside his box. The Italy goalkeeper came out of the area as he tried to clear a long ball with a very high tackle, but instead made contact with Le Havre forward Josue Casimir’s face.Referee Bastien Dechepy showed him a red card and Bradley Barcola made wa...

NATO chief warns of ‘bad news’ from Ukraine

Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 19:17:44 GMT

NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg warned that the Western military alliance should be ready for bad news from the Ukrainian front as Kyiv continues to defend against Russia’s all-out invasion.“Wars develop in phases,” Stoltenberg said in an interview Saturday with German broadcaster ARD. “We have to support Ukraine in both good and bad times,” he said.“We should also be prepared for bad news,” Stoltenberg added, without being more specific. His comments come as Western allies debate over ammunition and financial aid for Ukraine, and as Moscow boosts its troop levels. Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a decree on Friday to increase the number of soldiers by some 170,000 to a total of 1.3 million.The front lines have moved little in recent months despite Kyiv’s counteroffensive during the summer. But the Ukrainians have used cruise missiles to push back the Russian fleet in the Black Sea and have caused damage deep in Russian territory“T...
