Unsung heroes Bruce Brown, Aaron Gordon both X-Factors vs. Phoenix

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 03:43:43 GMT

Suns superstar Kevin Durant went left, just like Bruce Brown said he would.Midway through the fourth quarter of Denver’s Game 1 rout of Phoenix, Brown, a teammate of Durant’s in Brooklyn, was caught on an island against one of the most lethal scorers in the NBA. But Brown took contact, sat on his dribble, and picked his pocket clean. That transition chance was short-circuited when Chris Paul, perhaps out of frustration, shouldered Jamal Murray to the ground.Less than a minute later, Durant swerved left and Brown ripped him clean, again.“I knew he was going to do that,” said Brown, which is way more than most defenders can ever profess against Durant.Instead of giving the ball up after the second swipe, Brown hammered the transition dunk to effectively end the drama on Saturday night. Before the series even tipped, Brown talked about which direction Durant preferred to operate and knew he liked to settle into the mid-range. Against Durant, you take every advantage you can find.Beginn...

Coronation organizers wonder if Prince Harry will be a ‘no-show,’ report says

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 03:43:43 GMT

Even though Prince Harry finally let Buckingham Palace know — more than a week after the RVSP deadline passed — that he would be attending King Charles III’s coronation Saturday, he’s still keeping organizers in suspense about key details about his plans.Sources told The Mail on Sunday that Harry has yet to let organizers know “when he is coming, where is staying, when he is going back and whether he is happy with his seating position” in Westminster Abbey. Organizers even suspect he could pull out at the last minute.The Sun reported last week that Harry’s solo trip to the UK — without his wife Meghan Markle — to see father Charles and stepmother Camilla crowned king and queen probably will be a short — just 24 hours at most. He’ll attend the 11 a.m. service, then pop back on an airplane so he can fly back to the United States and join Meghan in Montecito to celebrate their son Archie’s fourth birthday.But this ...

Paltrow denied bid to recoup attorney’s fees in ski crash lawsuit

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 03:43:43 GMT

By Sam Metz | Associated PressSALT LAKE CITY — Gwyneth Paltrow will not recoup the attorneys’ fees she paid to successfully defend herself against a lawsuit from a 76-year-old retired optometrist who claimed she was at fault for crashing into him at a posh Utah ski resort in 2016.In a final judgment published on Saturday, a Utah judge affirmed the jury’s unanimous verdict finding Terry Sanderson — the man who collided with Paltrow — to be “100% at fault,” awarding Paltrow the $1 she sought in a countersuit, and leaving attorneys’ fees for District Court Judge Kent Holmberg to decide.The judgment said Paltrow would not seek attorneys’ fees and Sanderson would not appeal the verdict, effectively ending a protracted legal battle seven years after the two crashed on a beginner run near the base of Deer Valley Resort in Utah.Representatives for both Paltrow and Sanderson were not immediately available to answer questions about the final judgment or the...

Cécile McLorin Salvant brings her search for spirits to SFJAZZ 

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 03:43:43 GMT

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. Reflecting the Miami-reared Sa...
