Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:54:40 GMT

PHOENIX — The Warriors head into Tuesday’s game against the Phoenix Suns with very few bright spots to soak up and plenty of issues to sort through.It’s only December, but in the standings they are on the outside looking into the playoff picture.

That’s meant coach Steve Kerr rolling with the same starting five that carried them to the playoffs last year: Steph Curry, Klay Thompson, Andrew Wiggins, Draymond Green and Kevon Looney. This five-man group had a +22.1 net rating that was among the league’s best, according to Cleaning the Glass, and outscored opponents by a total of...

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:54:40 GMT

A police officer who repeatedly punched a Black woman during an arrest in North Carolina last month was suspended Tuesday after authorities released new video of the encounter that showed a broader view of what happened than bystander footage shared on social media. Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Chief Johnny Jennings told reporters at a news conference that Officer Vincent Pistone received a 40-hour suspension after an internal affairs investigation determined that he used excessive force during the Nov. 13 confrontation. The probe determined that six other officers involved were justified in their actions. The newly released body camera and bystander videos show different angles and what led to the encounter at a Charlotte bus stop that sparked public outrage. They show that the woman struck an officer in the face and that he responded by hitting her back and knocking her off her feet. Pistone, who was not the officer involved in that initial exchange of blows, is seen on the video ...
