Nets lose OT crusher to Celtics as rookie’s mistake opens door for Jayson Tatum buzzer-beater

BOSTON — The Nets followed their worst outing of the season with their best Tuesday night. But even if the effort was better, the outcome was the same. Defeat. The Nets fell 125-124 in overtime to the Celtics before a sellout crowd of 19,156 at TD Garden, losing on a Jayson Tatum midrange winner at the OT buzzer. Losing a game they appeared to have won. The Nets had come back to force overtime. Rookie Mikel Brown Jr. had 13 points in the fourth quarter, including a game-tying 3-pointer with three-tenths of a second left in regulation to force OT. But he missed a pair of layups late in overtime, including an inadvisable attempt with the shot clock off that gave way to Tatum’s heroics. Julius Randle — who’d scored a dozen in that fourth-quarter comeback — hit the first two buckets of the extra stanza to give the Nets a 121-117 lead. But he fouled out with 24 points, while Michael Porter…

Mike Vrabel provides Patriots injury updates on Dell Pettus, Alijah Vera-Tucker, more

Halfway through the 2026 season, the Patriots have been plagued by the injury bug, which has created a lot of problems for the team on game day. It's become a weekly concern as more players are added to the injury report or, worse, injured reserve. They appear to have avoided serious trouble from their latest game against the Bears, with no players leaving with a long-term injury, and a few are on the cusp of being able to be activated ahead of their Week 8 matchup against the Dolphins on Sunday. Given the number of players forced off the field across the roster, several returns will be crucial to the team's long-term success this season, particularly on offense. However, Mike Vrabel revealed on Monday morning that, over the next few days, there are some names to watch on both sides of the ball who could significantly improve their chances of winning more games this season. With only…

Connecticut’s four-year graduation rate tops 90% for the first time since 2010-11

HARTFORD — More Connecticut high schoolers are earning college credits, and more are finishing high school in four years, according to new state data released Tuesday by the state Department of Education. Education officials announced the 2025-26 results from the Next Generation Accountability System, which is the state's way of measuring school and district performance across multiple areas — showing where Connecticut students have made the most progress, and where they are behind. "These results demonstrate that higher levels of achievement (are) indeed possible and occurring, and we're working to accelerate student outcomes statewide. Our goal, and frankly expectation, is not to meet our pre-pandemic levels of achievement, but to exceed them," said Connecticut Education Commissioner Charlene Russell-Tucker during a press conference on Tuesday. During the press conference at the…

‘The Cure’ And The Culture: Why Dr. Sebi’s Story Still Resonates In Hip-Hop

For artists such as Nipsey Hussle and Kendrick Lamar, Sebi’s name represented something beyond herbal remedies and dietary practices. His story became intertwined with Hip-Hop’s longstanding tradition of questioning authority, challenging established institutions and encouraging Black communities to take greater ownership of their knowledge, health and economic futures. That independent spirit found an audience within Hip-Hop, a culture that has historically provided a platform for voices challenging political, economic and social institutions. Although the documentary was never completed, Nipsey’s involvement introduced Sebi’s story to another generation of listeners and intensified public interest in the herbalist’s teachings, controversies and circumstances surrounding his 2016 death. Kendrick Lamar also brought Sebi’s name into the musical conversation on “Worldwide Steppers,” while…
