Here are three keys to winning Game 4 on Monday (6:30 p.m. MT, ESPN) in Los Angeles.1. Keep MPJ engaged: Michael Porter Jr. is 11 for 23 from 3-point range in this series. And despite not having any one explosive scoring game yet — he’s averaging 15 in this series and has only one 20-point game the last two rounds — he’s contributed in meaningful ways Saturday. His Game 3 was best characterized by 10 rebounds, six assists and no turnovers to pair with a solid defensive effort. “That, to me,” coach Michael Malone said, “is a snapshot of Michael Porter’s potential greatness.” One of Malone’s favorite plays of the game was Porter’s extra pass to Bruce Brown for a corner three that helped Denver bury the Lake...

Rep. Barbara Lee calls for Supreme Court overhaul

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:26:32 GMT

Flanked by local leaders, U.S. Rep. Barbara Lee called for a radical overhaul of the U.S. Supreme Court at a press conference in Oakland on Sunday, calling the way the court currently operates “a crisis of democracy”.The reforms would include adding justices, creating term limits, and investigating ethics violations. The nation’s highest court, which has a conservative majority, currently has nine justices serving lifetime appointments.Lee, a Democrat who represents the East Bay in Congress and is vying to succeed Dianne Feinstein in the Senate, said the reforms were imperative for continued public trust in the court, which has faced criticism from progressives after a series of ethics scandals and controversial rulings, most notably the decision to overturn Roe vs. Wade, the nation’s landmark abortion law.“I have never been more fearful for the future of our highest court than I am today,” Lee said.The event in Oakland was the second California stop in a ser...
