Timberwolves fall in overtime to Brooklyn

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 06:56:10 GMT

The Timberwolves may have to sit down and discuss what team they truly want to be over the final stretch of the season.Because if the plan is to be a lights-out defense, as they’ve suggested when things are good, they are not putting in the requisite work on a consistent basis to be just that.After a three-game stretch against Golden State, Los Angeles Clippers and L.A. Lakers in which Minnesota held all three opponents to sub-43 percent shooting, the Wolves’ defense has disappeared in the three games that followed.Minnesota tried late but was unable to salvage another lackluster defensive showing for three quarters Friday night at Target Center, falling 124-123 to Brooklyn in overtime.Minnesota did tighten things up in the fourth quarter against a Brooklyn team that’s sans a real closer and has subsequently struggled late in games since the Kevin Durant trade. When the Wolves want to defend, they can.That opened the door for Naz Reid to bang home a game-tying trip...

Movie review: Ghostface takes Manhattan in ‘Scream VI’

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 06:56:10 GMT

“Scream” movies are like pizza — when they’re good, they’re great, and even when they’re not as good, they’re still satisfying. Thankfully, “Scream VI” is a tasty slice. Even though with each new installment, the “Scream” franchise creeps closer and closer to the fictional in-movie “Stab” franchise that these films are ostensibly skewering, writers James Vanderbilt and Guy Busick keep the blade sharp, while directors Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett bring a brawny, bruising and bloody style to this “requel sequel.”This is the second “Scream” movie not directed by Wes Craven (“Ready or Not” directors Bettinelli-Olpin and Gillett took over with the previous “legasequel”), and the first without franchise star Neve Campbell as Sydney Prescott. While it’s a shame that Campbell didn’t return due to an inadequate salary offer, it was time to let Sydney ride off into the sunset, to release her from Ghostface-chasing duty. There’s a new “Scream” queen in town — Melissa Barrera — and s...
