That left it up to Luka Doncic, Austin Reaves and Deandre Ayton along with the rest of the Lakers to finish off the eight-day trip the right way and overcome the dominance of Giannis Antetokounmpo. Doncic, Reaves and Ayton combined for 86 points in helping the Lakers open a 31-point, first-half lead that went a long way in them pulling off a 119-95 win over the Bucks.
Woll played two games with the AHL's Toronto Marlies, working his way back into game shape, after returning from a personal leave of absence on October 24. "Regardless of what situation I come into, I'm going to have the same mindset, whether it's game one or the Stanley Cup Final, it doesn't matter," Woll said after Friday's practice. "I think, you know, I've realized the importance of consistency in that way and I'm just going to come out and do my best, stick to my routine and things I know."
For me, these are the players that they deserve to be here and are the players that we want to see. They are the players that are our choice, our selection, And then no one can feel safe, or no one can feel that they're going to be [on the roster], even the names that you say: [Christian] Pulisic or Tyler Adams. I think the federation is bigger than the names that [are in] the national team.
Litmanen's seven-year spell at Ajax saw the Finnish forward establish himself as one of Europe's best players, as the Dutch side's punt on the young MyPa star in 1992 more than paid off. Litmanen would net 129 goals in 228 appearances for the club, helping them win four Eredivisie titles and three KNVB Cups domestically, with that side's crowning achievement being the 1995 Champions League victory under boss Louis van Gaal.
"I'm not surprised. They've got a nastiness to them," Pistons coach J.B. Bickerstaff said. "That's the fun part about our group. They like it when it gets thick. They like it when it gets messy and ugly. We like to take people there. We like to push people's buttons and see how they respond." "We've got a bunch of nasty dogs in that locker room, and they love it."
Washington moved on from Beal shortly after making him one of the highest-paid players in the league. However, the team's decision to ink the star to the deal sent waves around the league, but not for the right reasons. Many labeled the team's decision to sign the Florida product to a long-term deal as a mistake, especially considering the fact that the playmaker managed to negotiate a no-trade clause within the deal.
After an unprecedented loss against Slovakia, Germany rattled off three consecutive wins in FIFA World Cup Qualifying. Before Monday's critical match against Slovakia, Germany will look to pad the goal-differential advantage against Luxembourg. Historically, Germany have dominated the Luxembourgers with five wins in European qualifiers and the Olympics, with a plus-24 goal differential. This includes a 4-0 victory last month in Sinsheim, Germany. Captain Joshua Kimmich scored a brace and his Bayern Munich teammate, Serge Gnabry, also added a goal.
Wales are a major footballing nation in Europe now and have come on in leaps and bounds in recent years. The Dragons qualified for the 2022 World Cup finals, reached the semi-finals at UEFA Euro 2016 and also progressed to the round of 16 at UEFA Euro 2020. Craig Bellamy's side will have fancied their chances of winning 2026 FIFA World Cup qualification - UEFA Group J, but they will now have to fight forthe playoff spot.
Norton landed on IR with a return designation during final roster cuts after undergoing ankle surgery in the preseason. He returned to practice on October 22 and was a full practice participant right away. He then re-aggravated the injury the following week and has not practiced since. His 21-day practice window expired on Wednesday, forcing him to watch the rest of the season from the sidelines.
When a team underperforms expectations to the degree the Commanders have this year, it's everybody's fault. Fans are emotional and irrational. They will act out from behind their keyboards at the expense of anybody they can think of. The absolute most trivial matters are held responsible for the disappointment. Such has been the case with the amount of abuse McLaurin has taken this season.
At this point, Arthur Blank will have to force Raheem Morris to make an in-season change for it to happen. Morris did not let go of Jimmy Lake last year during the season despite having to take a more hands-on role in the defense, which had ruined the fortunes of previously productive players like Nate Landman and Dee Alford, and it's doubtful he'll do so with Zac Robinson either. This is a man who hand-picked these coaches and has a reputation for loyalty; I'm sure firing Ike Hilliard earlier this year and Lake after last season was painful enough for him.
DALY CITY - A house caught fire Tuesday morning in Daly City, injuring a resident and a firefighter, fire officials said. The fire broke out around 8:35 a.m. in the first block of Mateo Avenue, according to the North County Fire Authority. Crews arrived to find the first floor of a two-story home filled with heavy smoke and a bedroom in flames, fire officials said. They put out the fire while searching the residence.
From the beginning of his Barcelona career, he has played with some of the biggest names in the game. He started as a sidekick to Lionel Messi, and now he plays in the shadows of Pedri and Lamine Yamal. He doesn't score fancy goals, or even record many assists. And yet, regardless of who the Barca manager has been, and by my count there have been five, his role in the starting eleven has never been questioned.
Among the biggest weaknesses has been the backfield. At the start of the season, it looked like they were in need of major upgrades at the running back position because Rhamondre Stevenson's fumbling issue reared its ugly head. Then, Antonio Gibson tore his ACL and will be sidelined for the rest of the season, eliminating one of the most reliable members of the RB group.
Image source, SNS Scotland have suffered a triple injury blow as they prepare to face Greece in World Cup qualifying, with likely starter Billy Gilmour ruled out of Saturday's match in Pireaus. The Napoli midfielder has not pulled out of the squad completely, with the Scots facing Denmark in a potential group decider three days later at Hampden Park. But Udinese midfielder Lennon Miller and Bristol City defender Ross McCrorie have withdrawn. Two midfielders have been added to Steve Clarke's squad - Rangers' Connor Barron and West Ham United's Andy Irving.

San Francisco police closed off the area around 4th and Market Streets near San Francisco Center. The shooting happened around 4:30 p.m. The man was taken to the hospital. Two other people, including a police officer, had minor injuries. It's unknown from what injuries. But they declined to be taken to the hospital. No word on what led to the shooting.
Paul Gascoigne battled off-field issues for his entire career, and his luck didn't fare much better on the pitch. Good fortune clearly wasn't necessary for England's foremost mercurial talent, however, as he still ranks no.2 FourFourTwo's list of the best English midfielders ever. Despite persistent injury problems, adding to an already complex personal life, his raw talent shone through, and he remains one of the best players the country has ever produced.
Lamine Yamal is one of the best players in the world right now; we need to limit his threat defensively and as a unit, but Barcelona doesn't rely on him alone - they've got Ferran, Lewandowski, Fermín, and Olmo, and their attack is phenomenal," he said.
