Published Mon, 16 Dec 2024 18:32:40 GMT

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — The Memphis Grizzlies, with or without embattled star Ja Morant and injured center Steven Adams, are gritty, pesky, frisky and quite simply a pain to deal with.In the Nuggets’ first road contest of the 2023-24 season, they needed to overcome those aggravating qualities and their own sloppiness to earn a 108-104 win.The Grizzlies kept the game consistently hectic and kept Nikola Jokic in check, with two former Defensive Players of the Year (Jaren Jackson Jr. and Marcus Smart) nagging at him off-ball.With 6:05 remaining, an unsuspecting Jokic was stripped by Derrick Rose for his eighth turnover. The ensuing fast-break layup cut Denver’s lead to 95-93 and forced a Michael Malone timeout. Smart’s 15-footer less than two minutes later gave the Grizzlies a 98-97 lead. Denver had led almost the entire game.Yet even on Jokic’s uglier nights, he often is a difference-maker in winning ways. He and Jamal Murray knocked down consecutive 3-pointers for a ...

Published Mon, 16 Dec 2024 18:32:40 GMT

The San Jose Sharks were hoping for a response Friday after they were blown out the night before by the Tampa Bay Lightning.And at least from an engagement standpoint, the Sharks appeared to make some strides at PNC Arena against the Carolina Hurricanes.But that first win of the season remained elusive — as did finding the back of the net — as the Sharks allowed a Teuvo Teravainen hat trick in a 3-0 loss to the Hurricanes to drop their record this season to 0-7-1.The Sharks end their five-game road trip on Sunday against the Washington Capitals.The Sharks gave up a power play goal to Teravainen at the 6:10 mark of the first, and an even-strength marker to the Hurricanes forward with 4:50 before the intermission after a failed clearing attempt.Teravainen completed the hat trick at the 6:06 mark of the third period, a deflating goal considering the Sharks had generated some scoring chances near the end of the second period and into the third.

It’s being promoted on the official government website of the Republican-controlled Ohio Senate.And because the source is a government website, the messaging is being prioritized in online searches for information about Issue 1, the question going before Ohio voters Nov. 7 to enshrine abortion access in the state Constitution.The “On The Record” blog on the state Senate website is billed as an “online newsroom” presenting “the views the news excludes.” It features attacks against Ohio news outlets, op-ed style columns by Republican state senators and content ge...
