In overtime, the two teams traded chances, without many of them materializing into anything high-danger. That is, until Minnesota Wild defenceman Quinn Hughes took advantage of some space on the ice and wired home the overtime winner at 3-on-3. Matthews picked up an assist on the play, bringing him to six points in four games to lead the United States in scoring at the tournament thus far.
Well, if it wasn't already a super talent advantage for Team World going into the NBA All-Star Game, the height advantage was definitely real. Anthony Edwards had no chance trying to win the tip over the 7'4″ Frenchman, Victor Wembanyama. Not to mention, three-time league MVP and 6'11" big man Nikola Jokić was starting right alongside him. And Wemby loves playing in these games. He came out hot, a dunk, a three, and a block over Jalen Duren, stamping out any misconceptions that "height" doesn't mean "heart." He set the pace.
You're imagining, maybe, that an electric Syla Swords shooting night gave Michigan a 50-point lead at halftime, leaving Oregon head coach Kelly Graves with no choice but to yank his starters and wave the white flag of over-ness. A likely scenario. But Woodward said these words in a tie game with 5.2 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter. This would seem to be one of the least "over" situations ever.
Sam Darnold connected with Jaxon Smith-Njigba for a touchdown in overtime, then hit a wide-open Eric Saubert for the winning two-point conversion, and the Seattle Seahawks rallied from a 16-point fourth-quarter deficit to stun the Los Angeles Rams 38-37 on Thursday night and take a one-game lead in the NFC West. The Seahawks went 3 for 3 on two-point conversions, none more improbable than the one that tied the game at 30-all in the fourth quarter.
They're gonna work very hard. We need to put some guardrails [in] so they don't injure themselves, but I don't think we could prevent them from working hard and still make the kind of games we make.
One Hayward public safety operator received more in overtime pay last year than their base salary. A Hayward Fire Department battalion chief received nearly a quarter-million dollars in overtime. They're just two examples of how the city of Hayward is wrestling to rein in spending fueled by salaries, benefits and overtime. As Hayward revises its 2025-2026 budget after depleting $31 million in its general fund budget, the city is working to rein in its expenses after a 21% increase in salaries and benefits and a 14% increase in overtime that has caused city officials to return to the negotiation table with the city's labor groups.
At Madison Square Garden, the lights were bright and the energy was real as No. 5 St. John's took the floor against No. 7 Michigan in an exhibition that felt far more like a March showdown than a preseason tune-up. This game absolutely lived up to its hype, with both teams exchanging blows for all 45 minutes, but Michigan came out victorious with a 9694 overtime win. Yaxel Lendeborg led all scorers with 25 points on 10-of-15 shooting from the field, adding 10 rebounds for a double-double.
Fullback Kyle Juszcszyk, their elder statesman in his ninth Niners season, did not let that history interfere. "If I thought about it more on the sideline, yes there probably would have been some déjà vu," Juszczyk said. "But to be totally honest, I didn't let that creep into my mind. We were so focused on taking control of what we could control." He opened overtime with a 12-yard reception from Mac Jones, and away the 49ers went toward what Juszczyk appropriately dubbed a "wild, wild but fun" win.
When the lights got the brightest, the Valkyries didn't blink. Despite nearly unraveling at various points in the second half, Golden State found a way to deliver in the clutch as the Valkyries defeated the Los Angeles Sparks 89-81 in overtime.
"Tottenville is a great program and they're well coached, so they match up very well with us. These games can really go either way at any time for us and we came out on top this time."
Sheriff Robert Luna expressed pride in employees' efforts during the staffing crisis, highlighting the immense workload placed on current deputies without adequate support.
