James scored 28 points for the Heat, who hadn't even faced a fourth-quarter deficit in these playoffs before having their eight-game winning streak in the postseason snapped....

Durant, who scored 48 points, nearly played the hero role to perfection. He hit a game-tying shot with one second left in regulation to send the game to overtime. It marked the first overtime in an NBA Game 7 since Spurs-Mavericks in the 2006 Western Conference semifinals. But Durant and the Nets fizzled out in overtime. The team scored just two points and Durant showed the effects of the 53 minutes he played....

SPORTING NEWS: A lot of books have been written about specific baseball seasons, but most of those have been about years that had great pennant races or epic World Series. 1976 didn’t really have either. Given that, why did you decide that year would be worth writing about? DAN EPSTEIN: While doing the research for my previous book, “Big Hair and Plastic Grass,” I realized that 1976 was an amazingly rich season — one so filled with incredible characters (both on the field and in the owners’ boxes), vicious brawls, oddball promotions and major labor and economic developments that continue to impact the game to this day, there was no way I could shoehorn it all into one chapter; it quickly became clear to me that 1976 deserved a book of its own....

Sir Patrick Vallance, chief scientific adviser to the U.K. government, told Sky News that while COVID-19 has a higher death rate than the flu “for most people⁠—the vast majority of people⁠—this will be a mild illness.” The mortality rate is 1 percent or likely lower, he said, appearing to refer to the U.K. Asked to provide context for the outbreak, Sir Patrick said the virus is “very infectious” with similar infectivity to the flu....

After months of denials, Ney also admitted to improperly accepting tens of thousands of dollars in gifts, meals and trips from disgraced Washington lobbyist Jack Abramoff and his partners. But what forced Ney into a plea deal with the Justice Department was hard-to-dispute evidence about the congressman’s gambling trips to London. While not identified in court papers, a senior administration official familiar with the investigation told NEWSWEEK that the businessman is Fouad al-Zayat, a Syrian-born partner in FN Aviation, a Cyprus-based firm that brokered planes and airliner parts....

Proposed legislation titled House Bill 1022 would allow pharmacists to dispense the drug, which some believe can treat COVID-19 even though it lacks approval for such use from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), by means of standing orders. Under the law, pharmacists would be able to “dispense ivermectin under the delegated prescriptive authority of the physician or APRN (Advanced Practice Registered Nurses), specify a mechanism to document screening performed and the prescription in the patient’s medical record, and include a plan for evaluating and treating adverse events,” according to the bill....

Roselle Park police officers stopped Twyne, 25, in early February as he was returning home from work in his personal vehicle because, they said, he was driving with tinted windows. Twyne, a black man who works for the Brinks armored car company, was also transporting a handgun he believed he was legally permitted to carry for his job under the state’s restrictive licensing laws. However, officers charged him with two gun-related offenses: One violation of the state’s firearm transport ban and another pertaining to hollow point bullets....

What gives? Even formula makers say “breast is best.” Nursing reduces a baby’s risk of diarrhea, ear infections, urinary-tract infections and bacterial infections (and perhaps food allergies, obesity and diabetes). It also lowers a mom’s risk of breast and ovarian cancer—and, since it burns 500 calories a day, helps her lose weight. And it’s free, while formula costs about $1,500 a year. Yet new evidence shows that there has been a decline in the number of women breast-feeding, reversing a steady increase over the past three decades....

The 30-second-long video, which will air on Fox News’ Fox & Friends and MSNBC’s Morning Joe on Friday morning in Washington D.C., features Graham advocating for the Senate to allow witness testimony during the impeachment process of former President Bill Clinton. “In every trial that there has ever been in the Senate regarding impeachment, witnesses were called.
