Golden State closed out the Western Conference Finals with a 120-110 win over Dallas on Thursday night, giving the Warriors an opportunity to win their seventh championship in franchise history. Six Golden State players hit double-figures in the scoring department, including Klay Thompson, who exploded for 32 points in 37 minutes. Thompson’s “Splash Brother,” Stephen Curry, was named the Western Conference Finals MVP for his contributions across five games....

One of the most common tips to bypassing the security on any of the Bunkers is to simply wait for someone else to unlock them. Camping the front door has become a common strategy among the Warzone community, especially with how well known the loot inside really is. While waiting for someone else to open the door is good, this player brings the trap to a whole new level....

At a certain point before Deathloop’s release, the game became the butt-end of a joke as a result of how long its marketing cycle had been. It seemed like it was featured at nearly every PlayStation event following the reveal of the PS5 last Summer. Overexposure led to some of the mystery and newness of the game wiping off to the point where PlayStation fans became frustrated with each of the game’s subsequent appearances....

Dundes accuses Bettelheim of plagiarism. He claims that in Bettelheim’s 1976 book “The Uses of Enchantment: The Meaning and Importance of Fairy Tales,” Bettelheim borrowed extensively from an earlier work by Stanford psychiatrist Julius E. Heuscher without proper attribution. In an article in the Journal of American Folklore, Dundes calls the offense “not just a matter of occasional borrowings of random passages, but a wholesale borrowing of key ideas.” Ironically, Heuscher refuses to characterize the similarities as anything worse than “poor technique and not very courteous....

It’s not every day that a 29-year-old with very little injury history steps away from their professional sport during their prime, but Jordan cited the recent death of his father – who loved baseball – and a fading love for the game of basketball as the main reasons he wanted to chase a different career path in a press conference with Chicago media. Nine-straight All-Star appearances, seven-straight scoring titles (averaging over 30....

The area isn’t expected to receive many inches of snow, according to the National Weather Service (NWS), but the wintry mix made for slippery road conditions on Monday morning. Given the potential hazardous travel conditions, more than 10 school districts in three states were closed Monday with others worked on a delayed opening schedule. In Maryland, all public schools in the counties of Allegany, Frederic, Howard, Montgomery, Baltimore and Carroll counties were closed due to the weather....

Based on his look, it makes sense that Gortat action figures will be passed out to fans on Jan. 31, because he is a caricature of himself, in a sense. The toy will be passed out on what figures to be a big night for the Wizards, who will compete against the Toronto Raptors in a highly anticipated Eastern Conference game.

That’s good, because inXile Entertainment announced recently that the studio is moving forward on plans to create Wasteland 3 as a follow-up to the indie smash hit from just over two years ago. inXile Entertainment is going back to crowdfunding in order to get the game made, but the developer isn’t resting on its laurels, instead announcing that Wasteland 3 will feature new vehicle combat and co-op modes should the title get funded....

Fern and brother Benton live at Northwest Trek Wildlife Park near Eatonville, in northwestern Washington state. The pair were rescued as orphans in Oregon in 2008 before spending several years at a zoo and then being transferred to their wildlife park in 2014. The animal care team gave Fern some art supplies to produce fun paw prints for fundraising campaigns; however, she decided to use her face instead. In the footage, Fern appears to be having a good time smearing colorful images onto the floor of her enclosure with her furry face....

The new game was revealed alongside a short trailer that showcases some gameplay and several new micro-games that players will be trying to complete quickly. One of the big changes in this new entry is that players will be controlling several iconic characters from the series, such as Mona, Ashley, and even Wario himself. In addition, instead of using buttons to interact with whatever is on the Switch screen, players will actually be moving the characters around on the screen to complete the mini-games....

In the video, taken by bird observer Justin Briley, the all-white eagle can be seen sitting in a tree. The exact location has not been disclosed. Briley shared the footage with Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation (ODWC) biologists who described it as “VERY rare” and a “treat to see in outdoor Oklahoma.” Briley told Newsweek: “When I first saw it, it was with a few turkey vultures, and it wasn’t until I took [some pics] that I could see that it was an eagle....

Mason was due in court to be arraigned for a March 5 incident in which he was arrested on charges of marijuana possession, reckless driving, failure to register a motor vehicle and resisting arrest. Once Mason is in custody, his bail will be set at $1,500, according to the warrant. A stun gun was used to subdue Mason last month after police pulled him over in Hollywood, Fla., for driving more than 70 mph in a 35 mph zone....

Peyton has a passer rating this season of 107.2. It’s second in the NFL behind only Aaron Rodgers. But when Manning is under pressure, particularly this year, the accuracy percentage drops way off. Some QBs are not bothered by the pressure. Ben Roethlisberger is a prime example. His accuracy percentage actually increases from 76 percent to 77 percent when he is pressured. He’s the only QB in the NFL you can say that about....

The Steelers defense just allowed the Bucs to post 27 points in an outright win in Pittsburgh. The Steelers managed just one sack on Mike Glennon, and while the Bucs offensive numbers were not great overall, one factor is key: the Steelers gave up five red zone trips to this offense, and allowed three TDs. The Steelers have allowed 63 percent completions, 7.1 yds/pass and a 6:1 TD:Int ratio the last three weeks to Joe Flacco, Cam Newton and Glennon....

If you’re wondering, it’s been 30 days since Kevin Durant, who suffered a strained right calf in Game 5 of the Warriors’ West semifinals series against the Rockets. “I was hoping that today would be the day that he would get out on the floor. It’s not gonna be today, it’s probably going to be tomorrow,” Kerr told the room full of reporters Thursday. “So the hope would be that he can make it back before the end of the series....

Thompson, having landed awkwardly on his left leg after a foul by Raptors swingman Danny Green as he attempted a dunk, was helped from the court with what was later revealed to be a torn anterior cruciate ligament. At that point, the Warriors were leading 83-80, but with Golden State minus Thompson as well as Kevin Durant, the odds were stacked against them preserving that advantage and forcing a Game 7....

That’s why the scary truth about the Warriors is that they can get better. They can win more frequently. If those 1995-96 Bulls had finished 74-8, the Warriors probably would have a 75-7 record today. That’s why fo’ fo’ fo’ fo’ suddenly seems so reasonable.

David Lee added 16 points and Draymond Green had 14 points and six rebounds for the Warriors, who followed up their 100-95 win over the Lakers in Beijing on Tuesday with another victory. "It's always good to beat (the Lakers)," Thompson said.

The Warriors put together another impressive performance Sunday night, beating the Nuggets 118-105 to win their 15th-straight game, joining the 1948-1949 Washington Capitols and the 1993-94 Houston Rockets as the only teams to start a season 15-0.

Released late last year following the success of its 2020 predecessor, Call of Duty: Warzone 2 is the latest entry into the increasingly crowded battle royale genre from developers Infinity Ward and Raven Software. The free-to-play sequel introduced the new Al Mazrah map, taking the place of the original game’s Caldera, along with new game modes and a slew of new features. While some new features proved to be unpopular with many players, such as switching the game’s gulag to 2v2, the Escape from Tarkov-inspired DMZ mode in Warzone 2 has been hailed by many gamers for breathing new life into the series....
