Steph Curry’s timeout gaffe nearly gives away Warriors’ Game 4 win

SAN FRANCISCO – As Steph Curry nonchalantly called a last-minute timeout, he initially thought it was “the smartest play in the world” for the Warriors’ sake.“But it turned out not to be. I looked at the bench and everyone was shaking their head,” Curry said Sunday with an uneasy chuckle.Problem was, the Warriors had no timeouts remaining, and Curry’s call threatened to serve as an infamous gaffe in his and the Warriors’ playoff legacy.Curry and the Warriors escaped with a 126-125 win to even their opening-round series against the Sacramento Kings, who host Game 5 on Wednesday night.Curry took Chase Center’s crowd of 18,064 for a wild ride over the final minute. The timeout blunder was sandwiched between him missing two open shots, all of which led to his grand finale on defense, where he rushed over to challenge Harrison Barnes’ last-second miss from 3-point range.Curry finished with a team-high 32 points in nearly 43 minutes of work, including every minute of the fourth quarter, w...

ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — Tyler Seguin scored two power-play goals and Jake Oettinger made 33 saves in a brilliant show in his home state to help the Dallas Stars bounce back from a lopsided loss and beat the Minnesota Wild 3-2 in Game 4 on Sunday night to even their first-round NHL playoff series.Evgenii Dadonov gave the Stars a two-score lead early in the third period just 8 seconds after escaping the penalty box, his third goal of the series. John Klingberg scored for the Wild less than three minutes later against his former team right after a goal-line block on the other end.Both of Seguin’s goals followed questionable penalties on Minnesota’s feisty right wing Marcus Foligno, who was called for tripping with 4:49 remaining before Seguin delivered his third goal of the series.Frederick Gaudreau gave the Wild another opening on his power-play goal with 1:20 left, but Oettinger didn’t budge. He finished off another golden playoff performance by getting a glove on Ma...

El remake de Disney en imagen real de “Lilo & Stitch” suscita otro debate sobre el colorismo en Hollywood

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 12:28:06 GMT

(CNN) — El exitoso filme de animación de Disney “Lilo & Stitch” se convertirá en una película de imagen real, pero una decisión de casting desencadenó un nuevo debate sobre el colorismo en Hollywood.Algunos fans se sintieron decepcionados después de que The Hollywood Reporter informara la semana pasada que Sydney Agudong iba a interpretar a Nani, la trabajadora hermana mayor y tutora legal de Lilo. Nacida y criada en Hawai, Agudong es mestiza. Aunque se desconoce si tiene ascendencia hawaiana, los críticos del supuesto casting se han centrado en la cuestión del colorismo: en la versión animada de 2002, Nani tiene la piel oscura y rasgos indígenas distintivos, mientras que Agudong es de piel clara.Hawai tiene la mayor proporción de población multirracial del país y, debido a la historia del colonialismo en las islas, es habitual que los residentes sean una combinación de blancos, asiáticos y nativos hawaianos. Eso significa que hay muchos hawaianos de piel más c...

BRUSSELS — Just when you thought Europe’s China policy could not be more disunited, the two most powerful countries of the European Union are now also at odds over whether to revive a moribund investment agreement with the authoritarian superpower.For France, resuscitating the so-called EU-China Comprehensive Agreement on Investment (CAI) is “less urgent” and “just not practicable,” according to French President Emmanuel Macron.Meanwhile, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz is in favor of “reactivating” the agreement, which stalled soon after it was announced in late 2020 after Beijing imposed sanctions on several members of the European Parliament for criticizing human rights violations. Speaking to POLITICO aboard his presidential plane during a visit to China earlier this month, Macron said he and Chinese leader Xi Jinping discussed the CAI, “but just a little bit.”“I was very blunt with President Xi, I was very honest, as far as this is a Europe...
