    Denver Post, Friday - 01/03/2025 - 11:32 PM

The European bigs will run it back on Saturday in San Antonio to complete a back-to-back. Michael Malone took a timeout with 17 seconds to go, down one, to let Jokic go to work against Wembanyama, but San Antonio sent a late double-team, and Jokic turned the ball over trying to find an open Michael Porter Jr.

  • Mexico Getting Ready To Retaliate Against Trump Admin
    The Daily Dot, Friday - 01/03/2025 - 09:00 PM

    Scott Morgenstern, University of Pittsburgh Donald Trump has made clear his intent to supercharge his “America First” approach to foreign policy in his second term – and Mexico looks set to be at the tip of the spear.
