No,” Macron was quoted as saying in the interview. “The worst thing would be to think that we Europeans must become followers on this topic and take our cue from the U.S. agenda and a Chinese overreaction.”The comments were made Friday, before China launched large-scale combat exercises around Taiwan that simulated sealing off the island in response to the Taiwanese president’s trip to the U.S. last week.Macron spoke to reporters on his way back from a three-day state visit to China, wh...

Timberwolves need Anthony Edwards to be a two-way standout for duration of postseason run

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:07:18 GMT

Anthony Edwards slumped back into his locker room chair after 38 minutes of fury Sunday against New Orleans.On a day in which he went just 8 for 21 shooting from the field, Edwards still managed to be the game’s most impactful player. He grabbed 13 rebounds, including crashing in for an offensive putback to put the team up by one with 3 minutes, 38 seconds to play.Fourteen seconds later, he came up with the most important of his four steals, picking Brandon Ingram’s pocket to start a fast-break opportunity that led to a pair of Taurean Prince free throws to extend that Wolves’ lead to three points.The Pelicans chipped away from there, and were set to tie the score with 1:08 to play, as CJ McCollum dashed uninhibited toward the rim. But while Edwards was late to rotate, once he saw McCollum elevate for a dunk attempt, he set his mind to blocking the shot. And Edwards’ fourth blocked shot of the day was a monstrous denial. The 21-year-old guard finished off an ...
