The Warriors’ 29 turnovers open up bigger questions about the offense

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:03:03 GMT

The Warriors will have three days in Phoenix to help bond as a team and recover from their latest meltdown in Oklahoma City. They may watch some college hoops together. They will practice. Perhaps have a team dinner.Written in stone on the schedule, though, is to gather and watch a horror film together.That horror film: All 29 turnovers they committed Friday in a 138-136 overtime loss to the Thunder.“We will watch all 29 as a team,” coach Steve Kerr told reporters on Friday. “I can tell you that. We will watch all 29 turnovers.”What they’ll see is a well-rounded comedy of errors. Of the 10 Warriors that took the court, only Cory Joseph had a zero in the turnover column. Only Brandin Podziemski had one turnover and everyone else committed at least two. The full turnover breakdown:Andrew Wiggins: 6Draymond Green: 4Klay Thompson: 4Jonathan Kuminga: 3Steph Curry: 3Dario Šarić: 3Kevon Looney: 2Moses Moody: 2Green, the facilitator, is often the one who shoulders the most...

Troubled retailer Sears quietly reopens two stores. What is behind the comeback?

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:03:03 GMT

By Samantha Delouya | CNNLos Angeles  — To the casual shopper, Sears, one of America’s oldest retailers, may appear to be on life support. The department store chain that once reinvented how Americans shopped now barely has a brick-and-mortar footprint after a 2018 bankruptcy and hundreds of store closures.But talk of Sears’ demise may be premature: just two months ago, a previously shuttered Sears in Burbank, California, quietly turned the lights back on. Two weeks after that, another reopened in Union Gap, Washington.I visited the newly opened Burbank store several times last month, including on Black Friday, retail’s busiest shopping day, to explore the storied brand. The new Sears looks much like the old one, a vestige from a time when department stores ruled America’s shopping landscape. While the store remained mostly devoid of shoppers when I visited, those who did drop in, along with some store associates, expressed hope and excitement of a new age for Sears.Inside Sears’ re...

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Iranian authorities banned members of the late Mahsa Amini’s family from traveling to accept the European Union’s top human rights prize on her behalf, a civil rights monitor reported. Amini’s death while in police custody in 2022 sparked nationwide protests that rocked the Islamic Republic.The U.S.-based HRANA said late Saturday that authorities have refused to allow Amini’s father, Amjad, and two of her brothers to fly out to Strasbourg, France, to receive the Sakharov Prize for Freedom of Thought. Reports said only the family’s lawyer, Saleh Nikbakht, would be able to travel to be handed the award on their behalf. The EU award, named for Soviet dissident and Nobel Peace Prize laureate Andrei Sakharov, was created in 1988 to honor individuals or groups who defend human rights and fundamental freedoms. It is “the highest tribute paid by the European Union to human rights work,” as per the EU Parliament website.Earlier in Se...

Building wind power, canceling coal — it’s all drowning under borrowing costs

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:03:03 GMT

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — Plans to push South Africa and Indonesia off coal sputtered. So have offshore wind farms on the New Jersey and British coasts, and a green hydrogen project in an Italian port city.Climate projects around the world are sinking because of high borrowing costs driven by interest rates — jeopardizing a major plank of the international effort to prevent the most catastrophic damage from warming temperatures.Many of the nations gathered at this month’s COP28 climate summit in Dubai, including the United States, have set a goal of tripling global renewable energy capacity by the end of this decade. Such a pledge could be one of a handful of substantial climate actions coming out of the talks, which are embroiled in a standoff over whether governments should commit to phasing out fossil fuels.But rising interest rates have imperiled these goals.Interest rates were one reason developers gave for canceling major offshore wind projects in recent months, including ...

Gaza health system collapsing, half the people are starving: UN

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:03:03 GMT

Gaza’s health system “is on its knees and collapsing,” the head of the World Health Organization said on Sunday, as Israel pressed ahead with its military offensive in the Palestinian enclave. With more than 46,000 injuries, over 17,000 reported deaths and 1.9 million people displaced, the ongoing Israel-Hamas war in the Gaza Strip has led to “signals of epidemic diseases including bloody diarrhea and jaundice,” WHO Director General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus told WHO member countries on Sunday. The WHO is also getting reports of high levels of diarrhea-like diseases and respiratory infections. The situation is only expected to worsen as fighting continues, he said. Half of Gaza’s population is also starving, the Deputy Director of the U.N. World Food Program Carl Skau, according to the BBC. Despite the war, patients continue to need routine health care, with over 180 women giving birth every day and 2,000 patients on cancer therapy. But with just 14 hospitals ou...
