Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 10:52:01 GMT

NEW YORK (AP) — The Knicks had been forcing Devin Booker to give up the ball, and for most of the game he was fine with an open teammate taking the shot.“But with the game on the line,” Booker said, “I wanted to take that one.”And he made it.

He had started all 16 games before feeling ill Sunday.Even with all the absences — Bradley Beal has played in just three ga...

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Maxx Crosby was listed as doubtful all week with a knee injury. He didn’t practice once.With Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs in town, the Las Vegas Raiders star defensive end was determined to get in the starting lineup.“I was in a lot of (expletive) pain,” he said. “But it is what it is.”Crosby started for Las Vegas and sacked Mahomes once, raising his total this season to 11 1/2, during the Raiders’ 31-17 loss to Mahomes and the Chiefs on Sunday. “I was going through it, for sure,” he said. The showdown between Mahomes and Crosby was highly anticipated after the Netflix documentary “Quarterback” showed them going after each other during a game last season. Mahomes took offense in the documentary to Crosby giving him some extra attention. After throwing a touchdown pass to tight end Travis Kelce, Mahomes yelled at Crosby that he “woke up the wrong (expletive)!”Crosby caught Mahomes’ attention Sunday by being on the fie...

Fortunately, she wasn't hurt, but knows this could have been avoided if drivers hauling items secured their loads properly. Police searching for driver in deadly crash in Aurora “I really didn’t know what to do," said Jessica Valov. "I was pretty shaken up.”It's hard for Valov to look at the pictures of her damaged car. She knows things could have ended so much worse. “I got really lucky that it didn’t go through my windshield. I’ve heard horror stories," she said.
