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…

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…

Alaska is one of few states without Uber or Lyft. New bills could change that.

Years after ride-hailing company Uber pulled out of Anchorage amid a dispute over regulations, Alaska lawmakers are considering legislation that would allow services like Uber and Lyft to start operating across the state. Senate Bill 14 and House Bill 132 would exempt people who drive for "transportation network companies" from being covered under the state's workers' compensation policy. If the bills pass as proposed, only the state will be able to regulate such companies, and municipalities generally won't be able to create or enforce any ordinances regulating them. Anchorage Republican Sens. Mia Costello, Anna MacKinnon and Kevin Meyer, along with Sen. Shelley Hughes of Palmer, sponsored SB 14. Reps. Adam Wool, D-Fairbanks, and David Eastman, R-Wasilla, sponsored HB 132. [Uber and Lyft get Anchorage Assembly's OK, but the companies are awaiting state action] Representatives with both…
