On the second night of a back-to-back and with Nikola Jokic (calf), Jamal Murray (knee), Michael Porter Jr. (heel) and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (non-COVID illness) all in Denver due to various ailments, Aaron Gordon was game.So was Bruce Brown, Reggie Jackson and Peyton Watson. All of Denver’s contributors gave a deep and profound scare to the Suns, who acted like the game was over in the third quarter.Gordon had a team-high 26 points in 36 minutes, Brown had 16 points and three steals and Jackson and Watson both played far and above their recent roles.Kevin Durant scored 30, while Devin Booker added 27. That they even played in the fourth quarter was a testament to the Nuggets’ resilience...

(KRON) – Emergency responders in Alameda County say ambulances are stuck at hospitals trying to drop off patients. In some cases, they are even waiting an hour.Sean Burrows, the president of the firefighters union, the long wait times are creating downstream effects. He says this is not a new problem, but a bill moving through the state capitol right now would make the statewide standard 20 minutes. “We are seeing elongated wait times when an ambulance arrives to the back door of a hospital before a patient’s care is transferred to that hospital staff – we’re seeing times of 45, 60, 90 minutes,” he said.
