Cunningham logra 29 puntos y nueve asistencias en victoria de Pistons 122-116 sobre Trail Blazers
DETROIT (AP) — Cade Cunningham anotó 13 de sus 29 puntos en el último cuarto y los Pistons de Detroit se recuperaron para vencer 122-116 a los Trail Blazers de Portland el viernes por la noche.
Cunningham también sumó tres asistencias en el cuarto y terminó con nueve. Jalen Duren añadió 18 unidades y descolgó ocho rebotes.
Detroit permitió 22 tantos por pérdidas de balón. Los Pistons promediaron solo 15,0 puntos por esa vía en su inicio con récord de 15-2, pero han superado los 20 intercambios de posesión ofensiva en siete juegos consecutivos mientras tienen un récord de 4-3.

Detroit tomó una ventaja de 112-110 con un robo y bandeja de Cunningham con 2:22 por jugar, y Duncan Robinson anotó cinco tantos en las siguientes dos posesiones para ampliar la diferencia a siete.
Avdija tuvo 29 puntos en los primeros tres cuartos, ayudando a Portland a liderar 85-84. Los Pistons anotaron 65 en la primera mitad, pero solo consiguieron 19 puntos en el tercero.

Jaymon Hornsby responds in second half for Lincoln-Way East. The message? Loud and clear. ‘Do it for the team.’
Lincoln-Way East’s Jaymon Hornsby fits the mold of a classic dual-threat player.
The senior point guard maintains a sharp sense of how to blend his own opportunities without losing sight of wanting to set up his teammates for those big baskets as well.
“The coach told me at halftime he believed in me and it was on me to go out there and do it for the team,” Hornsby said, referring to Luke Yaklich, who’s in his first year as the Griffins’ head coach.
“Come that third quarter, I was looking to hit my teammates and make open shots and just play tough, stick-to-it defense.”
Hornsby then took over Friday night, scoring 15 of his career-high 23 points during the second half of a 69-58 victory over host Andrew in a SouthWest Suburban Conference opener in Tinley Park.
Converting on a host of passes from Hornsby, junior forward Aaron Stauffacher stepped up and made five 3-pointers and scored 17 points for Lincoln-Way East (2-2, 1-0).

Junior forward Ryan Dinnon had 19 points, 10 rebounds and three blocked shots for Andrew (3-3, 0-1). Junior guards Malik Mahmoud and Justin Freeman added 19 and 11 points, respectively.
The 6-foot Hornsby, meanwhile, scored or assisted on 14 points of a 21-7 burst by the Griffins at the start of the third quarter that wiped out a four-point halftime deficit.
“He did a great job as a senior leader in making sure that we got our paint touches and that the ball was where it needed to be,” Yaklich said of Hornsby. “He can get downhill.
“When he plays on balance at the end of his drives, he’s really tough to guard because he can score over the top when he gets in the paint.”

Hornsby, a two-year starter, also recorded six assists, four rebounds and two steals.
“He really gets our offense going and gets our guys open touches,” Stauffacher said. “He gets his, but when the defense collapses to stop his drives, he’s great at making plays and kicking it out.”
Hornsby showed an electric burst off the dribble and the ability to break down Andrew in the open floor. His creativity with the ball is only further enhanced by a rapidly improved outside shot.
His first basket was a 3-pointer. He also knocked down a shot from distance to punctuate that crucial run in the third quarter and produced seven of the Griffins’ nine points.

“Every time I hit a three, that just uplifts the whole team,” Hornsby said. “It gets my motor building and I just want to keep going for the whole team.
“Hitting those threes boosts my confidence for the rest of the game, knowing I can do it. I have the support system and a great coach behind me.”
Hornsby also played running back in football. The two sports play off each other, giving him a swagger. He also brings a distinctive style of handling the ball to impact the game.
“Football makes me tough and keeps me in condition for basketball,” Hornsby said. “Coach Rob Zvonar, he’s like coach ‘Yak’ — he keeps me in a tough mental state.
“He always pushed me to go harder, and now the same thing carries over to basketball.”

Studious and quiet off the field, Hornsby took up fishing three years ago at the invitation of a couple of friends. He loves the quiet and contemplative nature of fishing.
His father played baseball at a comparable age, but basketball has always been big for Hornsby. He has scholarship offers from NCAA Division III programs North Park, Benedictine and Carthage.
Point guards, naturally, are never fully satisfied by their performance.
“It’s never a perfect game and that’s what I love about it,” Hornsby said. “I love getting better every day and the obstacles that go with it. It teaches you life lessons.”

Pacers vencen 120-105 a Bulls gracias a los 36 puntos de Siakam, su mejor marca de la temporada
CHICAGO (AP) — Pascal Siakam anotó un máximo de la temporada de 36 puntos, Bennedict Mathurin agregó 28 y los Pacers de Indiana superaron 120-105 el viernes a los Pacers de Indiana.
Los Pacers mejoraron a 5-18, pareciendo más el equipo que avanzó a las Finales de la NBA la temporada pasada que el grupo plagado de lesiones que comenzó la noche con el segundo peor récord en la Conferencia Este. Hicieron una gran racha al inicio del tercer cuarto y resistieron un gran empuje de Chicago al conseguir su primera victoria en 11 juegos fuera de casa esta temporada.
Siakam se alocó después de un primer cuarto sin puntos. El tres veces All-Star hizo cinco triples y capturó nueve rebotes. Mathurin encestó seis triples.
Andrew Nembhard añadió 15 puntos y siete asistencias. Jay Huff tuvo cinco bloqueos, ayudando a los Pacers a vencer a Chicago por segunda vez en siete días. El sábado ganaron 103-101 en Indianápolis, cuando Siakam encestó un tiro de 14 pies con un segundo restante.

Escobar: How The BRICS+ ‘Unit’ Can Save Global Trade
Escobar: How The BRICS+ ‘Unit’ Can Save Global Trade
Authored by Pepe Escobar,
The Unit project, first revealed by Sputnik in 2024, is emerging as the most viable option for breaking the US dollar’s stranglehold on global trade and investment.
In his book co-written with top economist Sergey Bodrunov, Regulations of the Noonomy (international edition published this year by Sandro Teti Editore in Rome), leading Russian economist Sergey Glazyev stresses the need to “ensure a full-fledged switch to national currencies in mutual trade and investment within the EAEU and the CIS, and further – within the BRICS and SCO, the withdrawal of joint development institutions from the dollar zone, the development of their own independent payment systems and interbank information exchange systems.”
When it comes to financial innovation – compared to the current structure of the international financial system – The Unit is in a class of its own.
The Unit is essentially a benchmark token – or an index token; a post-stablecoin, digital monetary tool; totally decentralized; and with intrinsic value anchored in real assets: gold and sovereign currencies.
The Unit can be used either as part of a new digital infrastructure – what most of the Global South is striving for; or as part of a traditional banking setup.
When it comes to fulfilling traditional money functions, The Unit is – pardon the pun – right on the money. It’s meant to be used as a quite convenient medium of exchange in cross-border trade and investments – a key plank of the diversification actively pursued by BRICS+.
It should also be seen as an independent, reliable measure for value and pricing, as well as a better store of value than fiat money.
The Unit is academically validated – including by Glazyev himself – and properly governed by IRIAS (International Research Institute for Advanced Systems), set up in 1976 in accordance with the UN statute.
And crucial at this next step, The Unit is to be launched early next year on the Cardano blockchain, which uses the digital currency Ada.
Ada has a fascinating background – named after Ada Lovelace, a 19th-century mathematician, daughter of none other than Lord Byron, and recognized as the first computer programmer in History.
Anyone, anywhere can use Ada as a secure exchange of value; and very important, without the need to ask a third party to mediate the exchange.
That means every Ada transaction is permanently secured and recorded on the Cardano blockchain. That also means that every Ada holder also holds a stake in the Cardano network.
Cardano has been around for 10 years now – and is a quite popular blockchain. It’s backed by some quite big venture capital firms such as IOHK, Emurgo and the Cardano Foundation. Essentially, Cardano is an excellent option for regular payments because transactions are cheap and fast.
Neither a crypto nor a stablecoin
Enter The Unit.
The Unit is neither a cryptocurrency nor a stablecoin – as it’s shown here.
A concise definition of The Unit would be a resilient reserve of value – backed by a structure of 60% gold and 40% diversified BRICS+ currencies.
The major appeal for the Global South is that such a unique mix provides stability and protection against inflation, especially under the current global financial landscape of wobbly macroeconomics and widespread uncertainty.
Using Cardano, The Unit is bound to become accessible to everyone, via a combination of centralized and decentralized exchanges.
So to enter this new market, individuals and companies will be able to acquire The Unit directly with fiat through regulated banking partners. That means a bridge between traditional finance and emerging decentralized ecosystems – in favor of liquidity, accessibility and reliability, opening the door to full adoption by the Global South.
The Unit can even evolve into a new form of digital cash for emerging economies.
Following exactly the path delineated by BRICS even before the ground-breaking annual summit in Kazan in 2024, The Unit may be the best solution currently available for cross-border payments: a new form of international currency, issued in a de-centralized way, and then recognized and regulated at a national level.
And that brings us to the top conceptual strength of The Unit: it removes a direct dependency on the currency of other nations, and offers the Global South/Global Majority a new form of non-censored, apolitical money.
Better yet: apolitical money featuring an enormous potential for anchoring fair trade and multiple investments.
What the Global South really needs
A good next step for The Unit would also be to set up an Advisory Board, uniting world standard stars such as Prof. Michael Hudson, Jeffrey Sachs, Yannis Varoufakis and the co-founder of the NDB Paulo Nogueira Batista Jr. (here at the Global South Academic Forum in Shanghai) .
When it comes to BRICs-emphasized de-dollarization – done with a hefty degree of sophistication, without having to spell it out – The Unit will be key. It’s also key that The Unit is not a cryptocurrency.
Wall Street behemoths – especially BlackRock – are big on cryptocurrencies, an enormously unstable set up which eschewed individual holders to the profit of massive institutional players. For example, it’s BlackRock that essentially shapes Bitcoin’s market.
US stablecoins essentially perpetuate US dollar dominance – aiming their firepower directly against possible, future digital currencies offered by BRICS+.
The Unit is the stark opposite, offering a reliable digital monetary tool for the fast advancing Multipolar World. It’s an evolution in itself, bridging the fiat and the crypto worlds; and last but not least, it is a solid foundation for the emerging post-Bretton Woods economy.
Of course the challenges ahead are huge – and The Unit will be fought tooth and nail by the usual suspects as a new concept offering borderless financial resilience for the Global South/Global Majority.
And here may lie the key takeaway: the only way BRICS+ as well as the Global Majority may be strengthened is by developing closer and closer geoeconomic, financial ties. For that, the toxic power of Western speculative capital must be contained – to the benefit of more intra-Global South commodity trading, and more investable capital for productive, sustainable development.
The potential is limitless. The Unit may well be able to unlock it. Even JP Morgan admitted The Unit is “perhaps the most thoroughly fleshed-out of de-dollarization proposals that exist in the cross-border transactions space for BRICS+.”
And there’s no other similarly effective plan anywhere in the world.

Durant alcanza 31.000 puntos en su carrera y Rockets dominan a Suns
HOUSTON (AP) — Kevin Durant anotó 28 puntos para convertirse en el octavo jugador en la historia de la NBA en alcanzar los 31.000 puntos en su carrera, y los Rockets de Houston se impusieron el viernes 117-98 a los Rockets de Houston.
Fue el primer juego de Durant contra su antiguo equipo desde un intercambio de siete equipos que envió a Jalen Green y Dillon Brooks a los Suns. Durant se perdió la victoria de Houston 114-92 en Phoenix el 24 de noviembre por razones personales.
Amen Thompson anotó un máximo de la temporada con 31 tantos para ayudar a los Rockets a conseguir su quinta victoria en seis juegos.
Durant hizo dos tiros libres para sus primeros puntos de la noche y encestó un tiro a media distancia en el primer cuarto que le permitió alcanzar el histórico hito. Durant, quien no jugó el cuarto periodo tiene 31.024 puntos en su carrera.
Los Rockets estuvieron en desventaja por hasta nueve puntos al principio, pero utilizaron un segundo cuarto de 44 puntos, impulsado por 17 puntos de Durant, para tomar la delantera.
Houston estaba arriba por 11 con aproximadamente 7,5 minutos restantes en el tercer cuarto antes de que se fueran arriba 92-67 con una racha de 16-2 con unos dos minutos restantes en el cuarto. Thompson anotó seis puntos en ese tramo y tanto Durant como Reed Sheppard encestaron triples para Houston. Phoenix tuvo cinco pérdidas de balón durante la racha.

NY Times Sues Department Of War Over New Media Rules
NY Times Sues Department Of War Over New Media Rules
The New York Times on Friday sued the Department of War over new rules for media outlets which restrict reporters’ movements around the Pentagon, require ID badges, and restrict the solicitation of “criminal acts” (encouraging someone to leak).
The Pentagon in Arlington County, Virginia, on March 3, 2022. Joshua Roberts/Reuters
“The policy, in violation of the First Amendment, seeks to restrict journalists’ ability to do what journalists have always done—ask questions of government employees and gather information to report stories that take the public beyond official pronouncements,” the NYT wrote in its lawsuit which was filed in the US District Court for the District of Columbia.
The new rules state that soliciting nonpublic information from department personnel or encouraging employees to break the law “falls outside the scope of protected newsgathering activities.”
Journalists will also be denied press passes if they pose a safety or security risk.
The Times and several other outlets took issue with a request from the Department of War to sign papers acknowledging that they had received, read and understood the rules – and that while they may not agree with the policies, signing the paper did not waive any legal rights.
After some outlets declined to sign the acknowledgement, the Pentagon required them to hand over their press passes, resulting in some reporters ceasing to report from the DoW.
Meanwhile, several in the media were later granted passes who had not had them before, including National Pulse EIC Raheem Kassam.
“Legacy media chose to self-deport from this building,” said Pentagon spokeswoman Kingsley Wilson during a Wednesday press briefing, adding ‘we’re welcoming new media outlets that actually reach Americans, ask real questions, and don’t pursue a biased agenda.“
According to the NY Times complaint, “These developments place the purpose and effect of the Policy in stark relief: to fundamentally restrict coverage of the Pentagon by independent journalists and news organizations, either by limiting what kind of information they can obtain and publish without incurring punishment, or by driving them out of the Pentagon with an unconstitutional Policy.
“While Plaintiffs’ enterprising reporting on the military will continue, the Pentagon’s Policy ensures the suppression of certain newsworthy information—information, for instance, gathered by directly questioning officials at press conferences or through routine unplanned interactions between journalists and Pentagon personnel on Pentagon grounds,” the outlet continued.
Pentagon chief spox Sean Parnell told the Epoch Times; “We are aware of the New York Times lawsuit and look forward to addressing these arguments in court.”
