Can the big-ball Timberwolves guard in the playoffs? The early returns suggest not

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:26:56 GMT

For the second time in two games, the Timberwolves fell short in Friday’s Game 3 against the Nuggets because they couldn’t get stops. A team that when at its best in the regular season was a defensive juggernaut now looks helpless on that end of the floor in the first round of the playoffs.Part of the credit for that belongs with Denver, an offensive annihilator featuring the likes of Nikola Jokic, Jamal Murray and Michael Porter Jr., who can all score 10 points in the blink of an eye. It’s nearly impossible to contain all three of them.Which made it all the more troublesome when the Nuggets got easy offense in Game 3 from Bruce Brown simply sizing up Karl-Anthony Towns at the top of the arc, and driving by the big man for easy buckets at the rim. Those are the types of plays that turn good offensive nights for a team into great ones, and vice versa for the defense.“I thought I saw a lot of 1 on 1 beats,” Timberwolves coach Chris Finch said. “You ...

Are the Twins really going to DH Buxton all season?“I don’t know what I’m doing,” he said before Saturday’s 1:10 p.m. first pitch against Washington. “One day at a time.”Buxton was penciled in as the leadoff hitter against the Nationals. He woke up Saturday hitting .242 with two home runs, six RBIs, 11 walks and 25 strikeouts in 18 games. Hip and knee injuries limited him to 92 games last season, and his season was over on Aug. 22.It’s not a surprise that the Twins are being cautious with Buxton, who signed a seven-year, $100 million contract extension before the 2022 season. Plagued by injuries, he has played as many as 100 games only once in his career , 140 in 2017, but was the American ...

PETERSBURGH, N.Y. (NEWS10) — The Berkshire Bird Sanctuary has been around for over 50 years and has saved thousands of animals.

The organization has saved thousands of animals from around the country and beyond.In 2009, the sanctuary was able to save an eagle who lost his wing during the 1989 Exxon Valdez oil spill.
