MORE: Classic photos of LeBron James “A couple of calls have upset our guys,” Van Gundy said during a sideline interview with ESPN’s Lisa Salters. “They’ve got to understand, LeBron’s LeBron. They’re not going to call offensive fouls on him. He gets to do whatever he wants. They’ve got to understand that.” Van Gundy later backtracked on his comments, stating during his postgame press conference the officiating “evened out., but by then the damage to his pockets had been done....

After a ragged first-half showing punctuated by Gabriel Jesus’ superbly crafted opener, Manchester City were hitting their stride at London Stadium. Kevin De Bruyne’s typically immaculate throughball allowed Raheem Sterling to double the advantage for Pep Guardiola’s Premier League champions and West Ham were cut to ribbons once more as David Silva and Sterling left Gabriel Jesus with a tap-in. But wait… what? As both teams prepared to restart, referee Mike Dean was informed Sterling – or, more accurately, the tip of Sterling’s left shoulder was offside....

The Squid Game actor—who played the Old Man character (Il-nam, contestant no. 001) in the enthralling 2021 Netflix K-drama series—took home the Golden Globe for Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role on Television. He beat out fellow nominees Billy Crudup and Mark Duplass from The Morning Show, Kieran Culkin from Succession and Brett Goldstein from Ted Lasso. Born in October 1944, the 77-year-old Squid Game star is the first native Korean-born actor to win a Golden Globe, according to South Korea’s Hankook Ilbo....

JIT: Just in Time: A term known to engineers. That just about describes the knocks made by Gambhir and Laxman in the 2nd inning. They managed to save face and their spots for the upcoming Tests. It might not be time to call it quits exactly, for Laxman. But, still his 66 might just prolong his career by a few more Tests though there aren’t any replacements on hand. Gambhir nudged his way to 83 though it must be said, there were some attractive shots through the off side....

Over the last two years, there has been one writer at Sportskeeda who has made a name for himself in the world of wrestling — not by wrestling a match, but by writing about it. Join me, as I talk to one of the leading interviewers and writers in wrestling today as he talks about the crazy world of WWE, how he decided to cover himself with tattoos, how he stumbled onto wrestling journalism, and his leading talk show, Dropkick DiSKussions where he interviews some of the top wrestling talent in the world....

They are also a treatment option for people receiving orthodontic care for the first time whose teeth need only minor adjustments that don’t require braces. This article explains spring retainers’ uses, advantages, and disadvantages for straightening teeth. How Does a Spring Retainer Work? Unlike the retainer you get after your braces come off, which holds your teeth in a corrected position, spring retainers work to straighten teeth. To start, an orthodontist makes impressions of your teeth....

West Coasters may also want to look at Sunset Western Garden, the much-anticipated Mac and Windows title from the publishers of Sunset’s popular Western Garden book. Type in your ZIP code, and the program delivers a regional photo, along with text on weather patterns, soil conditions and some of the 6,000 plants in its database best suited to your area. But this frustratingly disjointed program relies more on doll videotaped tips and back-issue articles from Sunset magazine than on organized thought....

City are due travel to face Spurs on October 28 – a game that was initially scheduled to take place at the north London club’s new stadium. But delays in completing the facility on the site of White Hart Lane have led to Tottenham extending their arrangement with Wembley to stage matches versus Liverpool and Cardiff City, along with Saturday’s meeting against Fulham. Spurs’ derby against Chelsea on November 24 is listed on their official website as a game that will take place at their new home, although City’s visit is slated as “TBC”....

Rasual Butler was waived to clear roster space. MORE: LeBron James, trapped in Cleveland | Warriors don’t need Kevin Durant Martin committed to the Spurs last week, but the team had not decided on which player would be waived to make room for Martin. Aside from Butler, Matt Bonner was also on the chopping block. The Spurs also recently signed point guard Andre Miller. Martin, 33, was waived by the Timberwolves on March 1 after less than three years....

Spurs were 1-0 down from the away leg and their task became steeper at Wembley when England midfielder Alli launched into a dangerous lunge on Brecht Dejaegere before receiving his marching orders. Mauricio Pochettino’s men could only muster a 2-2 draw and the Premier League’s second-place side will now be without Alli when they make their expected return to Europe next season. Tottenham lie second in the Premier League, seven points ahead of Manchester United in fifth and well placed in the battle for Champions League qualification....

The Clippers are coming off an overtime win at home against the defending champion Warriors, led by Montrezl Harrell and Lou Williams with 20-plus points each. Meanwhile, San Antonio is coming off a 20-point loss to the 3-11 Suns....

Square Enix lost 12 billion yen during the fiscal year (which ended March 31 2011), which roughly equals 148 million US dollars. Their sales dropped 35% from 2010, which they have attributed to a number of problems. The earthquake and subsequent tsunami in Japan were brought up, along with a few companies Square Enix acquired that aren’t worth as much as they once were. However, the key factors in the drop were weak console games and constant delays in billing for Final Fantasy XIV....

A character’s job, properties, and abilities are all dependent on the pitch and volume of a player’s voice. Once a character is summoned they can take part in battles versus a friend’s in game summoned character or monster created for the game. Voice Fantasy doesn’t follow the typical Square Enix style of RPG, as the game takes place during automated battles only. Characters are created solely on how the individual sounds and do battle in three different modes....

Now, it looks like Square Enix intends to keep its momentum going with a solid showing at E3 in June. But in addition to a (assumed) medium sized booth on the show floor, the company has announced that it will also hold its own E3 press conference just in time for the start of the show. Square Enix dropped the news yesterday on its official website, revealing that the event will take Nintendo’s former E3 Day 1 morning spot....

The Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf reported Monday that a group of activists had taken up residence in the empty, five-story home over the weekend with the intent of using it to house young people unable to afford rising rental costs in the city and to host political events. In pictures on social media, signs could be seen hanging from the windows with slogans such as “No to war”, “No to capitalism” and “Yandex + FSB = love,” a reference to the company Volozh formerly led and their alleged ties with the Russian secret service....

There is a new vibe about the current RCB side heading into the season. For starters, they have changed personnel at the helm with the duo of Mike Hesson and Simon Katich joining hands with Indian skipper Virat Kohli. The move has already seen an evident shift in ideology with a horses-for-courses approach being preached at the IPL Auction. However, the IPL’s move to the UAE wasn’t something that was envisioned, although RCB still look well-equipped for a good campaign in the Gulf nation....

Sri Lanka Cricket asked him to play domestic games to regain his form. Opening batsman Dimuth Karunaratne is the stand-in captain of a 17-man squad for the two-test series starting on Feb. 13. Chandimal’s omission follows scores of 5, 0, 15, and 4 in the two recent test losses against Australia. The squad includes three uncapped players: Batsman Oshada Fernando, seam bowler Mohmed Shiraz, and left-arm spinner Lasith Embuldeniya....

Notably the hosts have welcomed back Jeffrey Vandersay and Dasun Shanaka after they were left out of the initial selection for the final game of the series. Last month Sri Lanka named a 15-man squad to contest the one-day international series and sole T20 against their near neighbours, but that has been revised after losing all eight matches of India’s tour. After three heavy Test defeats, Sri Lanka could not halt the India charge in the 50-over format as Virat Kohli’s side cruised to a 5-0 triumph....
