TORONTO (AP) — Claude Giroux had two goals and an assist as the Ottawa Senators scored three times in the third period to beat the Toronto Maple Leafs 6-3 on Wednesday night and pick up just their second victory in three weeks.Giroux voiced frustration with fans and media some 24 hours earlier after the Senators were booed off the ice during Saturday’s 6-4 home loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning.The Canadian Tire Centre crowd also chanted for head coach D.J. Smith to be fired over the weekend with the team having lost two in a row and five of its last six in regulation.“We’ve had a lot of adversity … a lot of things happening,” Giroux said following Wednesday’s triumph. “We can take a little breather.”Dominik Kubalik scored twice for Ottawa (5-6-0), while Jakob Chychrun had a goal and an assist. Mathieu Joseph added three assists.“A lot of noise around us,” said Tim Stutzle, who broke out with a goal and three assists. “We showed we can win hockey games.”Joonas Korpisalo made 27 ...

Published Fri, 15 Nov 2024 03:28:45 GMT

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Anthony Edwards scored 26 points and had a season-high eight assists and the Minnesota Timberwolves beat the short-handed New Orleans Pelicans 122-101 on Wednesday night.Karl-Anthony Towns scored 23 points on 9-of-12 shooting and Rudy Gobert had 17 points and 20 rebounds to help Minnesota win its fourth straight game.New Orleans was without its two leading scorers, with Zion Williamson out for personal reasons and CJ McCollum sidelined for the second straight game by a collapsed lung.“Regardless of who we play, who’s hurt, we know that our biggest opponent is ourselves,” Gobert said. “I’m really proud the way we came out. We came out regardless of who’s on the court. It’s still the NBA, and guys are talented.”The Pelicans struggled to fill the void on offense. Brandon Ingram was one of the only Pelicans who produced much offensively in the first half, leading the way with 17 of his team-high 24 points in the first half.Jordan Hawkins added ...

Hollywood’s strikes are both now over as actors reach deal with studios, return to work with writers

Published Fri, 15 Nov 2024 03:28:45 GMT

By ANDREW DALTON and KRYSTA FAURIA (Associated Press)LOS ANGELES (AP) — On Thursday, for the first time in more than six months, neither Hollywood’s actors nor its writers will be on strike. The long-awaited clearing in the industry’s stormiest season in decades comes as a deal was reached late Wednesday to end what was, at nearly four months, the longest strike ever for film and television actors. The three-year contract must be approved by the board of the Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists and its members in the coming days. But union leadership declared that the strike will end at 12:01 a.m. on Thursday, putting all of the parts of production back into action for the first time since spring.Duncan Crabtree-Ireland, SAG-AFTRA’s executive director and chief negotiator, said the gains made in the deal justified the struggle.“It’s an agreement that our members can be proud of. I’m certainly very proud of ...

An industrial robot crushed a worker to death at a vegetable packing plant in South Korea

Published Fri, 15 Nov 2024 03:28:45 GMT

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — An industrial robot crushed a worker to death at a vegetable packaging plant in South Korea, police said Thursday, as they investigate whether the machine was unsafe or had potential defects.According to police officials in the southern county of Goseong, the man died of head and chest injuries Tuesday after he was grabbed and pressed against a conveyor belt by the machine’s robotic arms. Police did not release his name but said the man was an employee of a company that installs industrial robots and was sent to the plant to examine whether the machine was working properly.The machine was one of two pick-and-place robots used at the facility that packages bell peppers and other vegetables exported to other Asian countries, police said. Such machines are common in South Korea’s agricultural communities.“It wasn’t an advanced, artificial intelligence-powered robot, but a machine that simply picks up boxes and puts them on pallets,” said Kang Jin-gi, who...

Wolves blow out shorthanded Pelicans in complete performance

Published Fri, 15 Nov 2024 03:28:45 GMT

The Timberwolves displayed a mark of a good team Wednesday at Target Center: They blew out a team they should blow out.Facing a Pelicans team down three starters and six rotational pieces in total, Minnesota dominated every facet of the game from start to winning, cruising to a 122-101 victory.It was the polar opposite performance of what Minnesota did a season ago, when they often lost games against cellar-dwellers and undermanned squads.“This year, we really wanted to, regardless of who we play, who’s hurt, we know that our biggest opponent is ourselves. I’m really proud of the way we came out,” Rudy Gobert said. “Regardless of who’s on the court, it’s still the NBA. Guys are talented. When (Brandon) Ingram plays, (Jonas) Valanciunas plays, it’s still a very good team, very good organization. I’m really proud of the focus that we’ve had, especially, on the defensive end.”Minnesota’s offense was rolling, as the...

Published Fri, 15 Nov 2024 03:28:45 GMT

An early-season showdown and a championship test of wills lived up to its billing Wednesday night.Ultimately, the Nuggets were the last team standing, pulling out a 108-105 victory over the Golden State Warriors at raucous Ball Arena to remain undefeated at home and improve to an NBA-best 8-1.“To get off to this start and to be undefeated at home, I couldn’t be more proud of this group,” Denver coach Michael Malone said. “Not every game is going to be pretty but we gutted this one out tonight against a very good team.”There were seven lead changes in a frenetic fourth quarter in a game that had a playoff feel to it — but plenty of sloppy moments, too.Golden State’s star Stephen Curry reached into his bag of magic tricks to nearly topple the Nuggets. Curry threw in a 34-foot, running 3-pointer to pull the Warriors to within two, at 107-105 with 18.1 seconds left.Still, Denver looked to be in command until an exhausted Nikola Jokic missed two ...
