The visitors were 2-0 down within 15 minutes through goals from Brenden Aaronson and Joe Rodon and failed to recover from that poor start, with Matheus Fernandes’ goal in added time not enough to stop a seventh Premier League defeat of the season. As ever, skipper Bowen was one of the Irons’ few bright sparks and he called on his team to show more after some hapless defending leading to the two early goals.…
Adam Silver spoke publicly for the first time since Terry Rozier and Chauncey Billups were indicted by federal prospectors for their alleged roles in illegal sports betting. “My initial reaction was I was deeply disturbed,” Silver said in an interview with Cassidy Hubbarth of Prime. “There’s nothing more important to the league and its fans than the integrity of the competition.

Jeffries’ Oct. 23 post decried Leavitt’s comment: “The Trump administration just declared that erecting a ballroom is the President’s main priority. Meanwhile. The cost of living…
