Joe Mazzulla hopes Celtics can learn valuable lesson from In-Season Tournament

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:19:53 GMT

Joe Mazzulla recalled a quick story after Thursday’s practice. His father, Dan, played five seasons professionally in Chile and there was an instance of a game being decided by an aggregate best-of-two score differential. His dad’s team needed to win by six in the second game, but there was one problem: They led by just two with seconds remaining.So, Mazzulla said, his dad’s team scored on its own basket to force overtime so it could have a chance to win by six.Those circumstances were certainly unique. Mazzulla brought it up because his own unique situation earlier this week reminded him of it. The Celtics needed to win by 23 over the Bulls on Tuesday night to advance to the NBA’s inaugural In-Season Tournament’s quarterfinals, and successfully did so under non-traditional methods, which included intentionally fouling poor free throw shooter Andre Drummond while up 30 in the fourth quarter and keeping their starters playing in a blowout until there were less than two minutes remain...

The Boston City Council shot down a proposal from the body’s president, Ed Flynn, who was seeking the creation of a new committee focused on domestic violence.The proposed rules change to create a City Council Committee on the Prevention of Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault, which needed two-thirds approval from the 13-member body, was defeated by a 5-2-3 vote Wednesday after a lengthy discussion, with opponents largely stating that another committee is not needed to address the issue.Several opposing councilors, two of whom voted “no” and three of whom voted “present,” mentioned that there are already three committees that could conceivably cover those topics: Public Health, Homelessness and Recovery; Strong Women, Families and Communities; and Public Safety and Criminal Justice.“When we start to hyper-focus on specific issues, then how many committees will we have?” Councilor Tania Fernandes Anderson, who voted present, said. “I’m actually of the opinion...

In an anticipated move months overdue, New England Revolution President Brian Bilello on Thursday appointed the club’s technical director, Curt Onalfo, to the post of sporting director.Onalfo, 54, became interim sporting director when head coach Bruce Arena, who served in both capacities, was suspended by the team on July 30 pending an MLS investigation for using inappropriate language.

JACKSON, Miss. (AP) — The Mississippi Supreme Court has temporarily delayed ruling on whether to set an execution date for a man on death row for capital murder.The state Supreme Court ruled Thursday that the Mississippi Attorney General’s motion to lift a stay and set an execution date for Willie Jerome Manning, 55, would be held in abeyance until the Court rules on Manning’s petition for post-conviction relief.

Spy watchdog calls for more information on border agency’s air traveller targeting

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:19:53 GMT

OTTAWA — The national spy watchdog says Canada’s border agency needs to do a better job of documenting how and why it singles out certain air passengers for possible additional scrutiny.The Canada Border Services Agency’s targeting program uses pre-arrival risk assessments to identify inbound air travellers more likely to be ineligible to enter Canada.As a first step, the border agency looks at information about passengers routinely provided by commercial air carriers, including age, sex and national or ethnic origin.The National Security and Intelligence Review Agency found the border agency relies on information and intelligence from a variety of sources to determine which data elements to treat as indicators of risk.In a report released late today, the intelligence watchdog says the border agency has the legal authority to conduct such air passenger targeting.However, it found shortcomings in the border agency’s documentation of its program activities that made ...
