Why Joe Mazzulla believes Celtics’ win over Pistons can have long-term benefits

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 15:31:40 GMT

The Celtics seemed to be in something of a no-win proposition as they arrived at TD Garden on Thursday.They could beat the Pistons. So what? The best team in the NBA is supposed to win against a team that entered on a 27-game losing streak. If they lost? Well, that would be embarrassing, to say the least.Joe Mazzulla, though, took exception to that suggestion. After the Celtics narrowly avoided the unthinkable, overcoming an early 21-point deficit and surviving in overtime to send the Pistons to their 28th consecutive loss, the coach denied the notion that this was a game he just wanted to get over with, or had nothing to gain from.“Why do we have nothing to gain from winning a basketball game?” Mazzulla responded. “We actually learned more from that game than we did probably playing the four games on the West Coast trip. That’s an opportunity to build a mindset and toughness. So to me, it’s like we have everything to gain in this, and you talk about the In-Season Tourna...

Election officials see range of threats in 2024, from hostile countries to conspiracy theorists

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 15:31:40 GMT

By Christina A. Cassidy, Associated PressATLANTA (AP) — For election officials preparing for the 2024 presidential election, the list of security challenges just keeps growing.Many of the concerns from four years ago persist: the potential for cyberattacks targeting voter registration systems or websites that report unofficial results, and equipment problems or human errors being amplified by those seeking to undermine confidence in the outcome.Add to that the fresh risks that have developed since the 2020 election and the false claims of widespread fraud being spread by former President Donald Trump and his Republican allies. Death threats directed at election workers and breaches of voting equipment inside election offices have raised questions about safety and security. Some states have altered their voting and election laws, expanded legislative control of local elections and added penalties for election workers who violate rules.The turmoil has contributed to a wave of retireme...

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 15:31:40 GMT

CLEVELAND (AP) — Joe Flacco has turned a seemingly cursed season into a charmed one.Cleveland’s quarterback for just over a month, Flacco passed for 309 yards and three touchdowns and the Browns clinched an unlikely playoff berth — just their second since 2002 — despite numerous injuries this season with a 37-20 win over the New York Jets on Thursday night.The Browns (11-5) are assured of a wild-card spot and still have a chance to win the AFC North and maybe the conference’s No. 1 overall seed, something that seemed unfathomable just weeks ago as major injuries piled up.But things have changed since Flacco arrived.The 38-year-old quarterback improved to 4-1 as a starter with the Browns, who plucked the Super Bowl 47 MVP off his couch in New Jersey last month to hopefully rescue their season. He’s done that and more.In the final minutes, Browns fans chanted “Flac-co! Flac-co!” to a quarterback they once reviled with Baltimore and now revere.“You don’t know ho...
