Draymond Green details Steph Curry’s impassioned speech to Warriors ahead of Game 7
Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 08:06:14 GMT
Steph Curry’s dazzling, record-setting Game 7 performance in Sacramento carried the Warriors into the second round of the NBA playoffs.For anyone who has seen Curry take over a critical game for Golden State, the 50-point showing was no huge surprise, even if Curry’s play itself was breathtaking.Count Draymond Green among those who expected the two-time MVP to rise to the occasion. He knew Saturday that Curry had something special in store.Green explained the story on his podcast: He sent a text to his fellow longtime Warriors, Curry and Klay Thompson, in the wee hours following Golden State’s Game 6 loss, saying he couldn’t sleep in the wake of the “gut punch” they had received from the Kings.Curry replied a few hours later saying he couldn’t sleep either and that he wanted to be the one to address their teammates ahead of Saturday’s film study, rather than leaving the more vocal Green to do it. What followed from Curry prepared the W...Cécile McLorin Salvant brings her search for spirits to SFJAZZ

Perhaps it’s her gargantuan talent, or a fervid childhood imagination fueled by fairytales and folk legends, but somewhere along the line Cécile McLorin Salvant acquired an abiding fascination with myths and monsters.“The stories are vibrant and colorful,” the three-time Grammy Award-winning jazz vocalist and composer wrote in an email. “They are relevant and evocative. There are layers of meaning within them. I think we are all drawn to mythologies.”The lure may be universal, but the 33-year-old Salvant’s gift for transforming shadowy archetypes into extraordinary music sets her in a rarified realm. She presents her latest conjuring at a four-concert SFJazz Center engagement May 5-7 that focuses on music from her new Nonesuch album “Mélusine.”Based on a folkloric legend that circulated widely around Western Europe in the late Middle Ages, “Mélusine” tells the story of a maiden cursed as a child by her mother to turn into a half-serpent every Saturday.

A slew of critical issues are on the agenda this week as Pac-12 executives and campus administrators gather in Scottsdale for the annual spring meets.Well, not all the campus administrators.The university presidents won’t be there — they never attend the Scottsdale meeting — so the conference won’t resolve the two issues that matter most: The Pac-12’s media rights negotiations and a decision on expansion.Those interconnected topics remain weeks from the finish line, if not months.And without knowing the conference’s fundamental structure, other strategic details cannot be finalized.For example, the Pac-12 has been examining options to maximize opportunities for College Football Playoff bids once the event expands to 12 teams in the 2024 season:— Should it return to the division format or play as a single entity, with the first- and second-place teams meeting for the championship?— Should it move to an eight-game conference schedule, or stick with nine?— Shoul...Rep.

By Amy Beth Hanson and Matthew Brown | Associated PressHELENA, Mont. — Montana state Rep. Zooey Zephyr asked a court Monday to allow for her return to the House floor after she was silenced and barred for chiding her Republican colleagues over legislation to restrict gender-affirming health care and for encouraging protesters.Attorneys for the first-term lawmaker sued in state district court in Helena on behalf of Zephyr, a transgender Democrat who represents a liberal district in the college town of Missoula, and several constituents who the attorneys said were being denied their right to adequate representation.Zephyr, whose comments in the Montana Legislature have made her a prominent figure in transgender rights and in conversations about the muffling of dissent in statehouses, said in a statement Monday that she and her constituents were targeted “because I dared to give voice to the values and needs of transgender people like myself.”The legal challenge against Hou...Feds: Hospitals that denied emergency abortion broke law

By Amanda Seitz | Associated PressWASHINGTON — Two hospitals that refused to provide an emergency abortion to a pregnant woman who was experiencing premature labor put her life in jeopardy and violated federal law, a first-of-its-kind investigation by the federal government has found.The findings, revealed in documents obtained by The Associated Press, are a warning to hospitals around the country as they struggle to reconcile dozens of new state laws that ban or severely restrict abortion with a federal mandate for doctors to provide abortions when a woman’s health is at risk. The competing edicts have been rolled out since the Supreme Court overturned the constitutional right to an abortion last year.But federal law, which requires doctors to treat patients in emergency situations, trumps those state laws, the nation’s top health official said in a statement.“Fortunately, this patient survived.
