Stephen Curry and Andre Iguodala missed the morning shootaround and are questionable for the Tuesday night’s home game against Atlanta. Curry rolled his left ankle in the third quarter of Saturday’s overtime win at Oklahoma City, but he returned to the game to tie an NBA single-game record with 12 three-pointers, bump his single-season record of three-pointers up to 288 and make the game-winner with 0.6 seconds remaining. If Curry can’t play, the Warriors would likely start backup point guard Shaun Livingston. Читать дальше...

Donald Trump, whose most attractive quality is supposedly his unfiltered frankness, has built his campaign around the preposterous promise that Mexico will pay for a “big... Читать дальше...
