SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — Stephen Curry picked up where he left off in last season’s playoffs against Sacramento, scoring 41 points to lead the Golden State Warriors to a 122-114 win over the Kings on Friday night.This was the first game at Golden 1 Center since Curry eliminated the Kings with a 50-point masterpiece in Game 7 of their first-round series last season. That series sparked a Northern California rivalry between franchises that had never before had success in the same season.A sellout crowd in the home opener was energized all night but left disappointed after the Kings once again had no answer for Curry, who put the game away with a back-breaking 3-pointer in the final minute.Curry scored 16 points in the third quarter to take control of the game. He even converted his 51st career four-point play, punctuated by a little dance to give Golden State an 11-point lead midway through the period.The Warriors built on that lead after Curry went to the bench late in the thi...

Prince William County planning staff recommends denial of entire PW Digital Gateway

Published Sun, 23 Feb 2025 19:01:05 GMT

In a stunning rejection of the largest data center development in county history, Prince William County staff on Friday issued recommendations that the Planning Commission deny all three rezonings associated with the divisive PW Digital Gateway.County documents show staff suggested that the Planning Commission recommend to the Board of County Supervisors to not approve two rezoning requests by QTS Realty Trust Inc. — Digital Gateway North and South — and one by Compass Datacenters, which combined are aiming to build 23 million square feet of data centers on roughly 2,100 acres along Pageland Lane in western Prince William County near Gainesville.Staff rejected the applications largely because of the lack of information provided by developers. They pointed out that many of the documents submitted by the developers “contain technical errors, are contradictory, and contain nondescript verbiage, that may make enforcement of some of the proffers difficult.”Staff also determined the proje...

D-backs’ Ketel Marte ties postseason record with 17-game hitting streak

Published Sun, 23 Feb 2025 19:01:05 GMT

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Ketel Marte is becoming the Joe DiMaggio of October.Every time he’s played a postseason game, Marte has at least one hit. His latest, a fifth-inning RBI double off Nathan Eovaldi, gave the Arizona Diamondbacks a two-run lead in a 6-5, 11-inning loss to the Texas Rangers that opened the World Series on Friday night.While a fraction of Joe D.’s record 56-game streak for the 1941 New York Yankees, Marte’s 17-game run is the longest at the start of a postseason career. He tied the record for a postseason streak at any point, matching the mark shared by the New York Yankees’ Hank Bauer (1956-58 World Series), the Yankees’ Derek Jeter (1998-99) and Boston’s Manny Ramirez (2003-04).Marte is hitting .345 with two homers and nine RBIs in 13 games. He lined a curveball from Nathan Eovaldi 402 feet off the base of the wall in right-center to score Geraldo Perdomo, who singled and stole second. Now 30, Marte grew up in the Dominican Re...

‘Big Game Nate’ Eovaldi finally stumbles in the postseason for Rangers in World Series Game 1

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Nathan Eovaldi responded to an early lead in Game 1 of the World Series by striking out the side in a shutdown inning.For the first time this October, Big Game Nate couldn’t keep it going.The Texas Rangers right-hander gave up three hits in a span of four batters after striking out four in a row and was on the hook for his first loss after wins in his first four postseason starts this year. Corey Seager’s tying two-run homer in the ninth inning left Eovaldi with a no-decision, and Adolis García’s homer in the 11th gave Texas a 6-5 win and a 1-0 Series lead.It was the first World Series appearance for Eovaldi since he was with Boston in 2018 and pitched the final six innings of a 3-2, 18-inning loss in Game 3 against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Even though Eovaldi gave up Max Muncy’s game-ending homer leading off the bottom of the 18th in LA, Boston manager Alex Cora credited Eovaldi with saving the bullpen and helping the Red Sox win the ...

Live updates | Israel knocks out Gaza communications as protesters call for end to the war

Published Sun, 23 Feb 2025 19:01:05 GMT

Israel knocked out communications and created a near-blackout of information by striking targets in the Gaza Strip with stepped-up bombardment and artillery fire overnight and into Saturday.Explosions from continuous airstrikes lit up the sky over Gaza City for hours after nightfall Friday as the Israeli military said it was expanding ground operations in the territory, signaling a move closer to an all-out invasion of Gaza meant to crush the ruling Hamas militant group after its bloody rampage in southern Israel on Oct. 7.The Palestinian telecom provider, Paltel, said the bombardment caused “complete disruption” of internet, cellular and landline services as the besieged enclave’s 2.3 million people were largely cut off from contact with the outside world. Some satellite phones continued to function. The Palestinian death toll passed 7,300. The Health Ministry in Hamas-ruled Gaza, which tracks the toll, released a detailed list including names and ID numbers on Thursday. In the occ...

PARIS (AP) — French Jewish groups have set up a helpline to provide support to people in the community traumatized by the latest Israel-Hamas war — from families who have lost loved ones in the Middle East to parents anxious about their children’s reaction to the conflict and Holocaust survivors.Since it was launched a few days after the deadly Oct. 7 Hamas incursion into southern Israel, dozens of people have called in every day, organizers said.Fabien Azoulay, the deputy director general in charge of solidarity at the United Jewish Social Fund, or FSJU, which brings together many associations in France, said that over 60 psychologists, psychiatrists and child psychiatrists are volunteering to call back those who leave messages on the helpline number.People of all ages are seeking support, from teenagers to parents and elderly people, Azoulay stressed.For some survivors of the Holocaust, “it brings back childhood traumas they thought they’d never see again,” Azoulay said. “They see...
