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

BOSTON — What should've been a dream night for Mikel Brown Jr. ended up a nightmare. And the rookie went from hero to goat in a couple of plays. After Brown's huge last-second fourth-quarter shot forced overtime, his inexperienced mistakes on each end of the court cost the Nets in a 125-124 loss to Boston before a sellout crowd of 19,156 at TD Garden on Tuesday night. Brown's 13-point fourth quarter and game-tying 3-pointer had forced overtime. But his ill-advised failed layup attempt with 2.3 seconds left in the extra stanza gave the Celtics one last chance, and his gaffe in getting screened off and switching — after the Nets had been told not to — let Jayson Tatum cash in on that chance.

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…
