The Golden State Warriors hung on to defeat the Sacramento Kings 125-125 at the Chase Center on Sunday and tie the series at 2-2.The experienced Warriors nearly blew the win with a rookie mistake.

Kurtenbach: The Warriors, Kings waited 38 years to meet in the playoffs. It was worth the wait.

SAN FRANCISCO — Over the past seven postseasons, the Warriors have been challenged by a steady run of worthy Western Conference foes. The Oklahoma City Thunder, Memphis Grizzlies, San Antonio Spurs, and various versions of the Houston Rockets all swung at Steph Curry, Draymond Green, Klay Thompson, and the Dubs.Golden State has managed to defeat them all.But the Warriors might have met their match in the Sacramento Kings.It took nearly 40 years for the Kings and Warriors to face off in the playoffs, but it’s proving worth the wait.Now, the Dubs used steady improvement and home-court advantage to win the last two games and tie this once best-of-seven series at 2-2, turning it into a best-of-three.But the Kings were one shot away from ending the Warriors’ dynastic run on Sunday.The Warriors’ past and future hung in the balance as Harrison Barnes’ 3-point shot with 1.5 seconds remaining traveled through the air.Perhaps 18,000-plus in Chase Center gasping in unis...

Republicanos de la Cámara critican la prohibición del aborto en medio de temores de un rechazo generalizado en 2024

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:20:55 GMT

(CNN) — Los republicanos de la Cámara de Representantes de EE.UU. abandonan un impulso de años de su partido para aprobar una prohibición federal del aborto y exploran otras formas de avanzar en su agenda contra el aborto, un cambio notable que subraya cómo el Partido Republicano lucha con un problema que se ha convertido en una mina política para su partido.En entrevistas con docenas de republicanos, la gran mayoría  – incluso entre los más acérrimos opositores al aborto – rechazó la idea de que el Congreso busque una prohibición nacional y dijo que el liderazgo no tiene planes en el horizonte para que sea una pieza central de su agenda, a pesar de aprobar restricciones federales al procedimiento en años anteriores cuando estaban en el poder.Los republicanos dicen que hay una razón práctica para su cambio de postura: después de que Roe v. Wade fuera anulada el verano pasado, argumentan que ahora es mejor dejar en manos de los estados la cuestión de prohibir el aborto, una pos...

Warriors survive Curry calling timeout they didn’t have

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:20:55 GMT

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Stephen Curry thought he had a perfect plan, until it backfired. The reigning NBA Finals MVP called a timeout the defending champions didn’t have — and nearly cost Golden State a crucial playoff game.The Warriors held on to beat the Kings anyway. “I ain’t gonna lie, I thought it was the smartest play in the world,” Curry said after a 126-125 victory that evened the best-of-seven first-round series with Sacramento at 2-all. “When I grabbed the ball and turned around and saw the trap, realized there was no real outlets instead of turning it over, it’s kind of the heady play but it turned out not to be. I looked over at the bench and everyone was shaking their head, so it was an unfortunate situation in that respect.”Coach Steve Kerr took responsibility for the ill-advised timeout.“We took the challenge and when the challenge was unsuccessful, as we were exiting the huddle, it’s on me,” Kerr said. “I’ve got to remind the guys, we’re out of timeout...

Lilia Vu wins 1st major at Chevron Championship in playoff

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:20:55 GMT

THE WOODLANDS, Texas (AP) — Lilia Vu birdied the first playoff hole to win her first major at the Chevron Championship after fellow American Angel Yin hit her approach shot into the water on Sunday.Yin’s second shot came up short and left and splashed into the pond guarding the par-5 18th hole, and Vu hit her approach just over the green. Vu went with putter from off the green and came up well short, but she converted from about 10 feet for the victory.The 25-year-old Californian won for the second time on the LPGA Tour and took a celebratory leap into the pond, a tradition borrowed from this tournament’s former venue at Mission Hills in the California desert.Vu birdied her last two holes for a 4-under 68 and a four-day total of 10-under 278 at Carlton Woods, then waited as other contenders — including Yin — faltered.But Yin, after bogeys on the 16th and 17th holes, birdied the 18th to force the playoff.Vu played at UCLA but considered quitting the game after a rough sta...

Estudio: vinculan la pérdida prolongada del olfato por COVID-19 con una actividad cerebral reducida

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:20:55 GMT

Un estudio reciente que examinó los impactos duraderos del coronavirus concluyó que las personas que viven con COVID-19 durante mucho tiempo y sufren de anosmia, la pérdida del olfato, experimentaron un cambio significativo en la actividad cerebral. Investigadores del University College London encontraron el vínculo entre la pérdida del olfato y la reducción de la actividad cerebral después de estudiar tres grupos de personas: aquellos con COVID-19 prolongado que perdieron el sentido del olfato, aquellos cuyo olfato regresó después de recuperarse del virus y aquellos que nunca dieron positivo. La pérdida del olfato se convirtió en uno de los síntomas clave de la COVID-19 en los primeros meses de la pandemia, con una duración típica de una a dos semanas. Sin embargo, en algunos casos, los síntomas han durado mucho más y cualquier persistencia de más de 12 semanas se conoce como COVID-19 prolongado.

Busch wins under caution at Talladega in double overtime

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:20:55 GMT

TALLADEGA, Ala. (AP) — Kyle Busch used miscommunication with his Richard Childress Racing crew to win at Talladega Superspeedway on Sunday in double overtime and under caution.It was the second win of the season for Busch in his new No. 8 Chevrolet and second career victory at Talladega — 15 years apart. The two-time Cup champion didn’t even lead his first laps of the race until the start of second overtime. It was the 13th win for RCR at Talladega, and team owner Richard Childress entered the post-race news conference carrying an open bottle of champagne from his vineyard.But as the race headed toward additional laps, Busch’s crew chief made a late call for Busch to come in for some gas. The message was received too late and Busch had to save fuel just to ensure he could complete another two-lap sprint.Bubba Wallace surged past him into the lead from the outside line but was turned by Ryan Blaney to trigger a multi-car crash that automatically ended the race. “Sometimes...
