Jayson Tatum hits buzzer-beater to give Celtics wild OT win over Nets

Jayson Tatum hit an overtime buzzer-beater to cap a wild, roller-coaster 125-124 victory over the Brooklyn Nets on Tuesday at TD Garden. Tatum scored 40 points — including a career-high 18 free throws on 22 attempts — to rescue Boston after it coughed up a four-point lead in the final four seconds of regulation. After trailing the Nets for 25 consecutive minutes on the second night of a back-to-back, the Celtics had taken the lead late on a rare and-one dunk by Derrick White (total dunks last season: 14) with 34 seconds left in regulation. Then, disaster, it seemed. Center Neemias Queta made contact with Julius Randle’s wrist after a missed Tatum free throw, resulting in his sixth foul and disqualification. Celtics head coach Joe Mazzulla inserted Mitchell Robinson to replace him. The Nets promptly fouled Robinson, and the notoriously poor free-throw shooter bricked both. Nets…

Bills return from bye as Ravens collapse: Where do both teams stand in NFL power rankings?

The Buffalo Bills didn't play a single snap in Week 7, yet they emerged from their bye week sitting atop several NFL power rankings. Meanwhile, their next opponent, the Baltimore Ravens, is heading in the opposite direction. Apparently, the best way to move up in the NFL power rankings is to take the week off and let everyone else lose. At least, that strategy worked pretty well for the Buffalo Bills. While Buffalo enjoyed its Week 7 bye, two previously undefeated teams, the Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers, suffered their first losses of the season. The result? The Bills climbed to No. 1 in several national power rankings without ever stepping onto the field. Buffalo enters Week 8 at 5-1, with its offense among the NFL's best and a defense that continues to raise questions. Meanwhile, Sunday's opponent, the Baltimore Ravens, has problems of its own. Baltimore enters the…

Lamont-Fazio debate shows why solving the CT property tax crisis is so hard: Dan Haar

Two trains, of sorts, collided head-on Tuesday in Connecticut. One overflowed with policy: ways to solve the state's property tax crisis, as the the final report of the 100-person Citizens Assembly rolled though with 10 big ideas, most of them controversial. Highway tolls and a tax surcharge on incomes over $1 million – new taxes that could be used to offset, and lower, property taxes. A push to make local K-12 schools regional. A tightening of exemptions from local taxes for property owned by nonprofits. The other train carried a cargo of high-intensity politics as Gov. Ned Lamont, the Democrat seeking a third, four-year term and Republican state Sen. Ryan Fazio, the challenger, held their second and final debate before next week's Election Day. The debate included property taxes as a key issue, naturally. Through the dense smoke and flames from this collision, we see why the two-party…

The NJ chain restaurants we still miss, and a few survivors

Last week, I wrote about New Jersey’s tiniest towns, and one of them was Corbin City, home of the old Corbin House restaurant. That place holds great meals and memories, first with my parents and later on some of my first dates. It got me thinking about restaurants on a bigger scale. Chains from across the Garden State that are long gone. Growing up, my parents used to take us to the Burger Chef in Egg Harbor Township. Better burgers than McDonald’s. I’ll stand by that. In the early 1970s, Burger Chef was second only to McDonald’s in number of locations, according to our sister station WFMK. Fans of Mad Men might remember the show built a whole storyline around Burger Chef. The episode aired in 2014 and was set in 1969, Tasting Table reported. I moved out of my parents’ house at 19 to chase radio work, first in Ocean County and then Mercer County. I never really learned to cook, and…
