LOS ANGELES — Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson had their heads down as they walked to the bench for a timeout Friday night.There was 5:28 left in regulation, but with the Lakers up by 22 points, the end felt inevitable.Not even Curry could save them this time.Two minutes later, coach Steve Kerr surrendered. He hugged Andrew Wiggins as the wing, who played through pain (broken rib cartilage) before embracing Draymond Green. With Curry sitting with a towel over his head, Kerr patted the Warriors star on the back.This season — and perhaps this dynasty — is over, and it came at the hands of LeBron James and his Lakers squad in the Western Conference semifinals.The Lakers punched the Warriors first and never let up, delivering a 122-101 blow to end Golden State’s season.

The San Francisco Giants built an early lead with home runs from Michael Conforto and Joc Pederson, while LaMonte Wade Jr., J.D. Davis and Casey Schmitt all continued their hot hitting, but it wasn’t enough to beat the Diamondbacks for a second straight game.Another rough outing from Ross Stripling sent San Francisco (17-21) to a 7-5 loss.The home run ball continued to haunt Stripling on Friday.Handed a 3-0 lead to start the second inning, after a clean first from John Brebbia as the opener, Stripling allowed two home runs that quickly erased the advantage. It was all too familiar of a feeling for Stripling, who has now allowed 10 homers in his first eight outings in a Giants uniform since signing a two-year, $25 million free-agent contract this offseason.Tagged for four runs on five hits over 3⅓ innings, Stripling’s ERA increased to 7.22. In 28⅔ innings this season, he has allowed only two fewer home runs than he did in 134⅓ innings in 2022 and, with two more walks Frid...

BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) — It’s hard for Jamari Shaw, 16, to have fun at the park with his younger brothers in their East Buffalo neighborhood. He’s too busy scanning for danger, an aftereffect of a gunman’s attack that killed 10 Black people at a local grocery store.Sometimes, 17-year-old Alanna Littleton stays in the car when her family drives to that supermarket from their home just down the street.“It’s such a level of tension,” Alanna said.As the city on Sunday marks one year since the racist massacre, many young Black people in Buffalo are grappling with a shaken sense of personal security and complicated feelings about how their community was targeted. While the white supremacist got life in prison for the killings, others face a lifetime of healing. “I’m definitely gonna carry this with me,” Jamari said after school last week.On May 14, 2022, an 18-year-old emerged from his car and began shooting people at the Tops Family Market, with the stated goal of killing as many Black...

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 20:49:44 GMT

Fans seemed to agree that Snyder being on the verge of selling the Washington Commanders is a positive move for the franchise. But Washington football fans whom WTOP spoke to remained reserved about the upcoming season’s prospects.“We’re glad Dan Snyder is gone,” said lifelong D.C. football fan Miles Heinz. WTOP caught up with him at Caddies on Cordell, a popular Bethesda bar, on Friday just after the announcement was made. He and friends toasted to the sale — and what they hope is a new era of football in Washington.“He was the problem, and he had to go,” Heinz said of Dan Snyder, who could sell the team to a group led by Josh Harris that includes Magic Johnson as long as three-quarters of NFL owners approve of the deal.“I grew up with season tickets, and my dad canceled them because he hates Dan Snyder,” chimed in Cameron Brown, a D.C. area native and Commanders fan.“Thank God for Josh Harris!” he added.While fans like Br...
