Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 06:40:55 GMT

SAN FRANCISCO — The Warriors were down by as many as 18 points late in the third quarter. In the preseason, that kind of deficit might call for coaches to empty the bench and call it a loss. But the Warriors aren’t just trying to get through the preseason unscathed; a big deficit provided no better opportunity for this new-look team to mount a comeback together.The Warriors’ 116-115 win over the Sacramento Kings ended with a bang. Down two points with 11 seconds remaining on an inbound pass from Chris Paul, Steph Curry shook off De’Aaron Fox to create just enough space for a game-winning 3-pointer.The swish sent the Chase Center crowd into a frenzy typically reserved for meaningful basketball, but the comeback win meant something to the team, too. Golden State is now 4-0 in the preseason with a blowout win and narrow road win against the Lakers along with an overtime win and comeback victories against the Kings.“It’s been great for us,” head...

BRUSSELS (AP) — European Union interior ministers met Thursday to discuss how to manage the impact of the war between Israel and Hamas on the bloc, after a firebomb assault on a Berlin synagogue and killings in Belgium and France by suspected Islamist extremists.Sweden hosted a meeting of ministers from eight countries, among them Germany, Belgium and France, focused on how to handle incidents where people burn the Muslim holy book, the Quran.Prosecutors are trying to establish whether that was a key motive for a Tunisian man who shot three Swedes in Brussels on Monday, killing two of them, ahead of a Belgium-Sweden soccer match in the capital.While the Quran burnings are not directly linked to the conflict between Israel and Hamas, they are a sign of rising tensions between religious and other communities in Europe.The war that began Oct. 7 has become the deadliest of five Gaza wars for both sides.
