Heat, following similar script as Game 1, lose to Nuggets in Game 3 with poor shooting

Published Fri, 07 Mar 2025 01:16:01 GMT

MIAMI (AP) — Those open looks Miami kept knocking down three nights earlier in Denver just wouldn’t go down back home. Gabe Vincent and Max Strus misfired all night and too many other shooters were cold in a 109-94 loss Wednesday night that gave the Nuggets a 2-1 lead in the NBA Finals. Miami made 11 of 34 shots from deep in Game 3. And despite getting the looks inside that they wanted, the Heat simply did not knock them down, resulting in a loss in which their fans, once roaring as loud as they could as they swirled white flags above their heads, were finding the exits before the final minutes.Vincent shot 2 for 10 and Strus was 1 for 7, the starting guards combining to miss eight of their 10 attempts behind the arc.Miami made just 9 of 26 first-half attempts in the paint and matched Denver’s toughness early. Bam Adebayo had 13 points and 10 rebounds at the break, and the Heat only trailed by five entering the third. The Heat trailed by as many as 19 in the third, shoot...

Graham: Chris Christie is in it to win it – and have a good time

Published Fri, 07 Mar 2025 01:16:01 GMT

A Republican from the northeast, telling jokes, doing impressions, and even working a little blue. If you didn’t know better, you’d think it was a Donald Trump campaign event.Except that Tuesday night at the New Hampshire Institute of Politics, the jokes were on him.Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie may be the longest of long shots to win the GOP presidential nomination, but based on his last two appearances in New Hampshire (both town halls at the NHIOP), he’s decided that, wherever this campaign winds up, he’s going to have a good time getting there.Mostly at Trump’s expense.For example, when a member of the audience asked Christie whether, if elected president, he’d be willing to pardon Trump, he gave a serious and thorough answer to the question (spoiler alert: probably not) before adding that the question was moot.“By accepting the pardon, the person must acknowledge their guilt. And that’s why I’m completely in the clear,” Christie said as the crowd laughed. “That will nev...

Editorial: Bostonians deserve a say in major school changes

Published Fri, 07 Mar 2025 01:16:01 GMT

Mayor Michelle Wu is all for making “bold” moves and shaking up the “status quo” – these buzzwords are rife in her announcements hailing new offices or projects or policies. “Stakeholders” is another favorite, as in the need to consult with stakeholders on eliminating gas hookups in new construction, or enacting rent caps.“We continue to work with the advisory committee toward specific legislative language that would protect families from rent gouging and displacement as our city continues to grow,” a Wu spokesman said in a January statement. “We look forward to receiving additional stakeholder feedback before filing a proposal with the city council.”So where was all that stakeholder feedback when Wu and Boston Public Schools Superintendent Mary Skipper announced a “generational change” regarding John D. O’Bryant School of Mathematics and Science and Madison Park High School this week?As the Herald reported, the O’Bryant wo...

Real people, places save ‘Transformers: Rise of the Beasts’

Published Fri, 07 Mar 2025 01:16:01 GMT

MOVIE REVIEW“Transformers: Rise of the Beasts”Rated PG-13. At the AMC Boston Common, AMC South Bay and suburban theaters.Grade: BPlease send me the names of those clamoring for another “Transformers” film, who aren’t employed by or related to producers Michael Bay and Steven Spielberg. But here we are. “Transformers: Rise of the Beasts,” which is set in 1994 Brooklyn and later in Peru, is sort of like a “Transformers” film with those shape-shifting Autobots grafted to a “Planet of the Apes” movie. The best parts of the film are the fraternal ties between the lead human, Noah Diaz (Anthony Ramos, “In the Heights,” “Hamilton”) and his ailing little brother Kris (Dean Scott Vasquez) and between Noah and a wise-cracking, trash-mouthed Autobot named Mirage (Pete Davidson). Ably directed by Steven Cable Jr. (“Creed II”) and written by at least six people, “Rise of the Beasts” kicks off with the usual sepulchral narration.For the record, the film is a sequel to “Bumblebee” (2018) and...

Lucas: GOP boasts upstanding field at Iowa candidates’ event

Published Fri, 07 Mar 2025 01:16:01 GMT

Not one of the eight GOP presidential hopefuls who showed up to campaign in Iowa last weekend fell down.And one, former Vice President Mike Pence, even road a motorcycle, a cobalt blue Harley Davidson, and did not fall off as Joe Biden did when he tumbled from his bicycle at his summer home in Rehoboth, Delaware.Which says something about the physical state of the GOP candidates in the wake of President Biden’s latest header on the stage at the U.S. Air Force commencement ceremony in Colorado Springs  days earlier.At least they don’t fall, not yet anyway.And the oldest Republican candidate, frontrunner Donald Trump, 76, having been in Iowa two days earlier, did not bother to show up at all.The event was Iowa Sen. Joni Ernst’s annual GOP “Roast and Ride” political gathering, which kicked off the summer campaign season in a state that holds the first in the nation caucuses in January.You ride to the event on a motorcycle, the way Pence, 63, Ernst and the other bikers did, and if you d...

Pete Alonso leaves early in loss vs. Braves with left wrist contusion, considered day-to-day

Published Fri, 07 Mar 2025 01:16:01 GMT

ATLANTA — The one player the Mets couldn’t afford to lose was Pete Alonso. But an absolute nightmare scenario played out during the top of the first inning at Truist Field on Wednesday night when Alonso was hit by a pitch and removed from the game.As is typical with the Mets, the whole ordeal sparked a controversy.With two on and two out, Braves starter Charlie Morton came inside with a 97 MPH fastball and hit Alonso on the inside of his left wrist. The slugger and the league leader in home runs went down in a heap.However, the injury appears to be minor. Alonso underwent X-rays, which were negative. He was diagnosed with a left wrist contusion and is considered day-to-day. The Mets are waiting to see how the swelling subsides before making any decisions about playing time, but it looks like he may be able to avoid an injured list stint.“It’s super promising that the X-rays were negative and we’re going to get a little additional imaging,” Alonso ...
