And then Curry got the ball at the top of the key and – bang. Off a pass from Devin Booker with 1:19 left, Curry buried another three and the US was back up by three possessions. What came next though was just the Steph Curry-est shot that Steph Curry has ever made. But no defense is strong enough to contain Steph Curry when he’s feeling it. The noise that came from Curry was easier to understand.

Portugal’s blushes were spared as they came from behind to earn victory over the Czech Republic in their opening match at Euro 2024. AdvertisementInstead, it was the Czech Republic who took the lead — with yet another strike from outside the box. They dominated the ball and Czech Republic were happy enough with that, but Portugal never really clicked, despite deploying an admirable fluid system. Martinez’s side also had eight corners in the first half but the steely Czech Republic held firm, frustrating their opponents.

☆ Fear the Economic Impact of Donald Trump 2.0 - The New York Times

Much to fear about another Donald Trump presidency: The existential threat to U.S. democracy. Yes, while Trumponomics 1.0 had major flaws (like the deficit-expanding tax cut giveaways to business and the rich), Trumponomics 2.0 is downright scary. A second Trump term would most likely represent a continuation of Mr. Trump’s unsophisticated instincts and what will appeal to his base. On tariffs, immigration and regulation, Mr. Trump would continue the troubling trendlines of his first term in office. And we would continue to pour carbon dioxide into the atmosphere while intentionally sandbagging our booming clean energy sector.

☆ That airless Wilson basketball you see influencers trying out? It costs $2,500, and it's already sold out.

Wilson created a futuristic airless basketball that's getting all the hype on social media, and the $2,500 price tag didn't stop it from selling out. The limited edition Airless Gen 1 is a 3D printed basketball that allows air to pass through it — unlike a traditional basketball that's pumped with air. Wilson's airless basketball is getting a lot of hype online. The most immediate difference between the Airless Gen 1 and a regular basketball — other than appearance — is the sound. Time will tell if the Airless Gen 1 will become a collectible or the foundation of a new era of basketball.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Gio Reyna scored his first two internationals goals since a family feud with coach Gregg Berhalter erupted at last year's World Cup, leading the United States to a 4-0 rout of Ghana in an exhibition on Tuesday night. The 20-year-old midfielder's first game under Berhalter since the controversy was in Saturday's 3-1 loss to Germany. A son of former U.S. captain Claudio Reyna and American midfielder Danielle Egan, Gio Reyna was limited to a pair of substitute appearances in Qatar. Reyna got his second goal from an indirect free kick 10 yards out, awarded when Opoku sat on the ball. Reyna poked the ball to Pulisic, who tapped it back, and Reyna kicked the ball into the roof of the net.

☆ Wall Street Journal overseas teams are taking a hit as Hong Kong is trimmed and insiders brace for more cuts

Emma Tucker's Wall Street Journal laid off staff in its Hong Kong bureau, and three company insiders said they were bracing for more cuts in the newsroom. The Hong Kong layoffs affected seven editors on a desk that puts finishing touches on stories before they're published, two sources said. People with direct knowledge said they believed the company was looking to save money by shifting the work to other offices. The Hong Kong cuts came shortly after Tucker revealed in September her plan to revive the newsroom with an "audience-first" model, which has fueled speculation that a reorg could be on the way. Hong Kong is the latest example of cuts to the storied newsroom that have dribbled out over the past few months, in keeping with the Journal's practice of trimming small numbers of people.

PMI data released by Caixin Media and S&P Global showed both manufacturing and services losing some momentum. “We see increasing evidence of a near-term growth stabilization,” Nomura analysts said in a research note on Saturday, thanks partly to the raft of policy measures unveiled since late July, they added. While domestic travel for the Golden Week holiday appears strong, Chinese consumers are leaving the mainland in fewer numbers. Preliminary statistics from ForwardKeys, a global travel data provider, last week showed that Chinese travel within Asia was down 33% on pre-pandemic levels. On the first day of the Golden Week holiday, the number of mainland Chinese tourists entering Hong Kong was still less than half of 2018’s level, the city’s government said over the weekend.
