The ball went straight up!
There are plenty of amazing highlights this season. Andre Drummond’s Euro step on Tuesday night was not one of them.
Drummond followed a quite frankly beautiful steal, with one of the saddest finishes I have ever seen in the NBA. A missed dunk is one thing, a trip is another — but slowly executing a Euro step before lofting the ball straight up, touching it and getting hit with a foul is another entirely.

All I wanted was affordable multiroom audio. Instead, I got an ordeal. | Illustration by Samar Haddad / The Verge
About a year or so ago, I decided to network all my speakers together to be able to do multiroom audio. I gave myself a set of simple parameters. Namely:
It must be able to work with my own speakers. It must be able to work synchronized in multiple rooms. It should be relatively affordable. It should be easy for house guests to understand. It should not lock me exclusively...Illustration: The Verge

The film follows Nargle’s rise to become the No. 1 cable access painter in Vermont before being faced with a young...
