PHILADELPHIA — Saturday morning at shootaround in the Wells Fargo Center, Warriors assistant coach Jerry Stackhouse told Steph Curry that he wanted to see a dunk. Curry, the 36-year-old superstar, hadn’t heard that in years. The last in-game dunk he had was in 2019, before the team moved to Chase Center. The Curry world has a way of manifesting. In the fourth quarter against Philadelphia, Curry found himself wide open, cherry-picking alone after a broken play. Instead of kissing a layup off the glass, he rose up off two feet and stuffed in a one-handed dunk. Right after the ball fell through the nylon, the two-time MVP pointed at Stackhouse on the visitor’s bench. “It was a very random comment this morning, and the fact that it happened was hilarious,” Curry said. It also, according to Curry, will be the last slam dunk of his career. “For sure,” Curry insisted. “I will only lay the ball up. It took everything out of me to get up there.” Curry finished with 29 points and a season-high 13 assists in a 126-119 Warriors loss. The Warriors won

PHILADELPHIA — Steph Curry did his best to will a comeback win, but the Warriors were too thinned out by Jimmy Butler’s absence to pick him up. Butler missed his first game as Warrior with back spasms, and the Warriors felt the pain. Golden State won Curry’s minutes by 12 in a seven-point loss. Curry finished with 29 points and a season-high 13 assists, but Sixers guard Quentin Grimes outshined him with a career-best 44 points on scorching 18-for-24 shooting. The Warriors (32-18) tied the game up late in the fourth after trailing almost the entire night, but couldn’t get over the hump in a 126-119 defeat. “Quentin Grimes,” Curry said when asked what the difference in the game was. “Second half, we fought hard to get back in the game, but too many momentum plays that went their way. Turnover or missed layup turned into a 3 or an and-1. We knew they would play desperate, they were on a crazy losing streak and we were coming in hot.” The 76ers, who had lost nine straight games entering Saturday night, shot 19-for-33 from deep

The Sharks caught a bad break in the third period of their game against the Ottawa Senators on Saturday night. Oh, they still made mistakes in the final 20 minutes, such as taking a delay-of-game penalty to set up a 5-on-3 goal for the Senators or making a bad change, which led to another Ottawa goal. But with the game still tied early in the third period, a Ridly Greig shot into the Sharks’ zone took a weird carom off the boards. The puck then went to the front of an open Sharks net, after goalie Vitek Vanecek left his crease to play the Greig pass. That left an open net for Tim Stützle, who scored his 19th goal of the season, giving the Senators the lead for good as they handed the Sharks a 5-3 loss at Canadian Tire Centre. The Sharks allowed consecutive goals to Brady Tkachuk, Stützle, and David Perron as their third-period foibles continued in what became their eighth straight loss. Perron’s goal at the 8:31 mark of the third period, which became the game-winner, came after the Sharks made a

PHILADELPHIA — In the visitor’s locker room at Wells Fargo Center, a television flashed “Welcome Back” messages to all the Warriors returning to Philadelphia. Buddy Hield, Jerry Stackhouse, Ron Adams, video coordinator Lainn Wilson, and Jimmy Butler. Butler played only 55 games for the Sixers in the 2018-19 season, but he made a major impact with Joel Embiid, taking Philadelphia to seven games in the Western Conference Semifinals in the game remembered for Kawhi Leonard’s game-winning shot. He won’t get to bring back memories for Sixers fans on Saturday. Butler was ruled out due to back spasms ahead of tipoff, marking his first missed game as a Warrior. Golden State is 7-1 in games he has played since coming aboard in the trade that sent Andrew Wiggins to Miami. Warriors head coach Steve Kerr said he doesn’t think Butler’s injury will be a long-term ordeal and described it as day-to-day for now. As a Warrior, Butler is averaging 16.4 points, 5.8 rebounds and 5.6 assists per game. His all-around floor game has changed the trajectory of Golden State’s season that was going nowhere before he

Sunday, March 2, 2025 4:51AM Vance Walberg spoke to the media for the first time since a betting scandal involving his players became public. FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) — Fresno State men’s basketball coach Vance Walberg spoke to the media for the first time since a betting scandal involving his players became public. The Bulldogs faced Boise State on Saturday in their first game since the scandal, losing their 11th consecutive game by a score of 66-61. “Sometimes you get bad breaks, whatever, ” Walberg said in his postgame news conference. “I must’ve done something wrong to the basketball gods but seems like everything bit us all at one time.” Allegations of sports gambling involving players Mykell Robinson, Jalen Weaver and Zaon Collins surfaced last week. Robinson and Weaver are no longer with men’s basketball team. Collins returned to the team against Boise after being withheld from competition last Saturday. Action News sources say Collins was allegedly only placing bets on professional sports. “We’re just happy to have Zaon back. The NCAA reinstated him and we are just very happy to have him back,” Walberg said.

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz — Tyler Fitzgerald used three types of gloves last season. An infielder’s glove for shortstop and second base. An outfielder’s glove for left and center field. And, for one day, a first baseman’s mitt that he borrowed from Wilmer Flores. This year, he’ll only be responsible for just one. “We saw last year, when he got an opportunity to play in one spot, he did his best work,” said manager Bob Melvin. “So, my guess is that’s going to be the same at second base. I know he’s excited about it.” A year ago, Fitzgerald had 10 lone major-league games to his name, having yet to prove anything of substance at the big league level. Over the summer, he made history that landed his name next to Barry Bonds. His super-utility days, for the time being, are over; he has been afforded the luxury of simplicity. Days before the winter meetings, the Giants agreed with Willy Adames on a franchise-record deal. Shortly after closing that deal, president of baseball operations Buster Posey called Fitzgerald.

The Philadelphia Eagles won the Super Bowl for various reasons, one of which was that they drafted exceptionally well. And for a few seasons, it seemed as if they took Georgia players nearly every pick. It’s a smart pipeline — UGA was the dominant force in college football then, and no one put together a better defense than Kirby Smart. The Niners should establish their own pipeline starting with the 2025 draft. It’s time to connect Santa Clara and Oxford, Miss. Ole Miss built the best team money could buy in 2024. The Rebs’ talent was eye-watering, but their quarterback’s mistakes ultimately kept them out of the playoffs. The Niners, who need to get younger, faster, and meaner — particularly on the defensive side of the ball — don’t need a quarterback, so Ole Miss’ loss can be their gain. And while the Niners are picking up some five-star talent at Ole Miss, why not look around to a bunch of other top programs?

By Lisa MarcAurele, Food Drink Life Dairy alternatives are becoming a go-to choice for consumers who want simple solutions for dietary restrictions. From creamy almond milk to rich oat-based yogurt, these alternatives replicate the taste and texture of traditional dairy, making them a convenient option for those following plant-based diets or managing dairy sensitivities. With so many delicious choices available, switching to dairy free doesn’t mean giving up your favorite foods. What are dairy alternatives? These days, you can find alternatives for nearly every dairy product like milk, cheese, yogurt and ice cream. Plant milks, such as almond, soy and oat milk, are among the most popular. These options offer creaminess for drinks like lattes and work well in baking. Plant-based cheeses and butters are also in high demand. Cheese alternatives now come in various styles like shredded and sliced as well as spreadable soft cheese. Many brands rely on nuts, soy or coconut oil to replicate traditional cheese textures. Vegan yogurts made from coconut, almond or soy bases are popular, too. They are available in various flavors, including vanilla and berry. You’ll also find
