The Nuggets found the ultimate counter to the Timberwolves’ suffocating defense in the NBA Playoffs
No sequence can be more backbreaking than a series of events where a team not only was forced into making a mistake by their opponents — they started forcing themselves into boneheaded decisions that all but crippled their chances of winning the game.
That’s exactly what happened to the Minnesota Timberwolves in Game 4 of their Western Conference...
This was amazing.
Rumors of the Nuggets demise were greatly exaggerated, and on Sunday night Denver went off to even their series against the Timberwolves and turn it into a best-of-three.
The best moment from the Nuggets’ 115-to-107 win wasn’t Nikola Jokic’s MVP-worthy game, or Aaron Gordon ascending to another plane where he couldn’t miss a shot — but a sequence at the close of the first half featuring Jamal Murray, which is truly destined to be iconic.

Google’s futuristic videoconferencing technology will soon become a reality. In an update on Monday, Google shared that it’s working on integrating Project Starline with common videoconferencing setups like Google Meet and Zoom.
Google first took the wraps off Project Starline during Google I/O in 2021. Its first iteration involved a 3D video chat booth where you see a projection of the person you’re chatting with and they see a projection of you — almost like...

Volkswagen is one step closer to delivering the ID Buzz in the US, today revealing initial battery, powertrain, and trim options available when the all-electric microbus goes on sale later this year.
To start, the automaker will offer a First Edition model that comes with exclusive wheels, badging, and extra unknown “gifts.” Alongside that, VW has a Pro S model that is rear-wheel drive only (282 horsepower) and a Pro S Plus that can...
Last year, I called the Google Pixel 7a a “great potential swan-song” for Google’s budget Pixel A-series line of phones. I couldn’t have been more wrong about the “swan-song” part, though, because I’ve been using a Pixel 8a for the past several days.
That’s fine, though, because Google’s track record of making really good $500 Android handsets has remained consistent over the years, and is unchanged in 2024. While I’m not totally enamored with every “new” feature...

A tiny, low-priced electric car called the Seagull has American automakers and politicians trembling.
The car, launched last year by Chinese automaker BYD, sells for around $12,000 in China, but drives well and is put together with craftsmanship that rivals U.S. electric vehicles that cost three times as much. A shorter-range version costs under $10,000.
