Trailing by 13 points in the fourth quarter, it looked like the Celtics might finally pick up their third loss of the season, but Irving was not having it. Irving scored a game-high 47 points on 16-of-22 shooting to lead the Celtics to a 110-102 overtime win over the Mavericks. After two loses to start the season, Boston have now won 16 straight.

Swank’s Eileen Fitzgerald joins the Alaska Daily newspaper after being fired from her New York job when a story went wrong and she was “canceled” by the public. But it is not the desire to reinvent herself that draws her to the local paper but the prospect of looking into the unexplained deaths of countless indigenous women.

It’s not something completely unheard of, a sports franchise buckling under the annual cycle and stiff competition — just look at NBA Elite — but this particular situation is somewhat unique....

In 2017, Rodgers turned that hoops fandom into an investment when he purchased a minority stake in the Milwaukee Bucks. Rodgers is still starring for the Packers as Giannis Antetokounmpo has led the Bucks to regular-season dominance just down the road. It’s a two-superstar region, and Rodgers has a foothold in both aspects. Here’s what you need to know about Rodgers’ ownership stake in the Bucks and why he wanted to invest in an NBA team....

In an interview with Billboard, which was published on Friday, Pitt, 58, unveiled the recording studios on the grounds of Château Miraval, the 1,000-acre winery and estate he owns in Correns, Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur.

He said the Mumbai Indians skipper, despite scoring almost the same number of runs as Kohli this season, is looking in good touch. He continued that ‘Hitman’ is simply not able to get the big knock that he and his IPL team desperately want. While Rohit has scored 114 runs from six matches at an average of 19, Kohli has collected 119 runs from seven matches at 19.83. There isn’t much difference in the duo’s strike rate either, with Rohit striking at 129....

SRH on the other hand have had a mixed campaign, far from their usual consistent and confident self. Way too much dependence on the opening combination of David Warner and Jonny Bairstow has meant that the middle-order has remained under prepared. In their last game against CSK at the Chepauk, Jonny Bairstow didn’t score, but SRH would have been thrilled to see the return of form of their middle-order mainstay Manish Pandey who returned to the side after being dropped for five games with a breezy, attractive knock....

IPOs, or initial public offerings–when a private company raises money on the stock market for the first time–are in their third season of record highs: investors are expected to shovel at least $50 billion into these issues this year, up from $10 billion in 1990. But if those numbers sound out of control, they should. IPOs, especially of companies that make familiar products, are tempting to the average investor. It’s fun to go buy stock in a Snapple because you know the product....
