The Clippers secure another playoff spot, the 10th time in the last 13 years they’ll finish in the top five in the conference standings. After warming up with an ice pack on his injured calf, Murray got medical clearance to play. He wasn't his usual explosive self on drives to the basket - at first - but he managed 16 points in the first half, including 12 in the first quarter which ended with Denver ahead (28-24) for the first time all series. The Nuggets advanced to face the Minnesota Timberwolves in the second round starting next weekend.

Many of those empires were benevolent and welcoming, but others were inimical to all outside influences. The kind empires withered and waned as quickly as the hostile ones. As Campion and the shatterlings are pursuing Purslane's hijacked ship, transmissions from Neume confirm that a shatterling within their midst, Galingale, is the traitor and a secret member of the House of Suns. The shatterlings open fire on both Galingale's and Purslane's ships, and while they manage to capture Galingale, they are unable to stop Purslane's ship. Despite Fescue's warning, Campion and Purslane approach the reunion system to look for survivors.

The Heat used the mid-level exception to sign Shane Battier, a starter on their two subsequent championship teams, in the summer of 2011. They followed that up by using their 2012 mid-level exception on Ray Allen, who went on to make arguably the biggest shot in Finals history. They included cash in their 2011 draft night trade for Norris Cole.

They've existed for the past six million years, witness to the constant grind of civilization. Campion, now the only shatterling still in pursuit, enters the wormhole after them and emerges in the Andromeda Galaxy, a place apparently devoid of all sentient life. It states that the First Machines have no hostile intent towards the humans, despite what was done to them. Before preparing to depart Andromeda to follow its kin, the First Machine tells Campion that Purslane and Hesperus barely survived the passage into Andromeda. Due to the wormhole's relative youth and instability, Campion arrived over 20,000 years after Silver Wings. After being critically damaged in the wormhole passage, Silver Wings used the last of its energy to travel to the First Machine planet, but had no way of landing.
The Clippers were missing their main cog, the absence of Kawhi Leonard because of right knee inflammation and swelling in Game 4 leaving the group short-handed in what was deemed a potential series-altering playoff encounter. Minnesota All-Star Anthony Edwards (game-high 36 points, nine rebounds, five assists) doesn't believe Phoenix's spirit's totally broken, after the Timberwolves inflated their lead to 20-plus in Game 3's third quarter. "I’ve never been swept a day in my life. I can't ... I’ll be damned if that happens," Beal said.
Then again, I didn’t want to be slavishly bound by the earlier story. So I made the decision that House of Suns would take its cue from the events and characters in the shorter piece, but it wouldn’t be afraid to contradict them if that made for a better story. And this time, it would be set even further in the future – six million years. That said, I wanted my two central characters, Campion and Purslane, to be very human and fallible. They had access to godlike technologies, but they were anything but godlike in their outlook and wisdom.
Hernández: Despite Game 2 loss, Clippers clearly need Kawhi Leonard
Hesperus was ultimately victorious, but Cascade has fused the ship controls before his defeat and they are past the point of no return. However, before reaching the reunion world, Campion and Purslane encounter an emergency distress signal from Fescue, another Gentian shatterling. There was a vicious attack on the reunion world; an ambush in which the majority of the Gentian Line was wiped out. The identity of the responsible party is unknown, but the attackers used the supposedly long-vanished 'Homunculus' weapons – monstrous spacetime-bending weapons that were created ages ago, but were ordered to be destroyed by another Line. MESA, AZ (AZFamily) — The tragic story of an inflatable bounce house flying away near Casa Grande over the weekend, which killed a 2-year-old boy, has brought up painful memories for a Mesa father and son. The Clippers still maintained their fourth spot in the West, one game ahead of the fifth-seeded Dallas Mavericks.

In the previous book, the inhabitants of Trisolaris, a planet with three suns, discovered that their planet was doomed and that Earth offered a suitable refuge. On Earth, the Earth-Trisolaris Organization formed to help the invaders, despite knowing the inevitable outcome. Humanity’s lone advantage is that Trisolarans are incapable of lying or dissimulation and so cannot understand deceit or subterfuge. The Planetary Defense Council, meanwhile, in order to combat the powerful escapist movement (they want to build starships and flee so that at least some humans will survive), announces the Wallfacer Project. Four selected individuals will be accorded the power to command any resource in order to develop plans to defend Earth, while the details will remain hidden in the thoughts of each Wallfacer, where even the sophons can't reach.
His wife immediately called 911 screaming for her other children to run. Doerman chased one of the boys into a field behind the house and shot him as he fled then again at close range after the boy fell, according to the document. Vogel also conceded that the Timberwolves, this season’s top-ranked defense and third-best team in 3-point shooting, are “bigger and stronger” than the Suns. "It's an opportunity for us to do something that's never been done before, and we're gonna embrace that," Vogel said. "There's no quit in our group ... You're playing for pride."
Austin Reaves has value as a young player on an incredibly team-friendly contract. And Jalen Hood-Schifino is a young point guard who could be attractive to teams. Even if a star demanded a trade this summer and preferred the Lakers, there are other teams that could easily exceed their offer. Remember in 2017 when Paul George wanted to go to the Lakers but the Thunder made a better offer to the Pacers?
The Athletic reported after the Lakers’ season-ending loss to the Nuggets on Monday that the Lakers are open to drafting Bronny James and giving LeBron a three-year, $164 million maximum contract extension. But ESPN’s postgame report painted a different picture, saying that LeBron’s future “remains a mystery,” with sources indicating team officials don’t know what he’ll do with his $51.4 million player option this summer. Durant would fetch more in a trade to be sure, but his size alone makes him the most important star to be kept in a possible two-star approach. His value today likely isn't close to what it was in February, 2023, either. He will turn 36 before opening night of next season and has an even scarier injury history than Beal. His 2022 and 2023 postseasons were relative disappointments, as his efficiency dipped significantly in both.
