Vassell anota 33 puntos y Spurs vencen 139-136 a Nuggets para avanzar en la Copa NBA
DENVER (AP) — Devin Vassell anotó un máximo de temporada de 33 puntos gracias a que acertó siete de nueve tiros de tres puntos y los Spurs de San Antonio avanzaron a los cuartos de final de la Copa NBA con una victoria de 139-136 sobre los Nuggets de Denver el viernes por la noche.
Julian Champagnie añadió un mejor registro de temporada con 25 puntos para ayudar a los Spurs a remontar un déficit de 18 unidades en el tercer cuarto y entregar a los Nuggets, ganadores de seis consecutivos como visitantes, su tercera derrota consecutiva en casa.
Los Spurs encestaron 30 de 32 tiros libres y anotaron 30 puntos a partir de 17 pérdidas de balón de los Nuggets.
Jamal Murray lideró a Denver con 37 tantos, Cam Johnson añadió 28 y Nikola Jokic 21. Murray se convirtió en el quinto jugador en la historia de la franquicia en superar los 10.000 puntos en su carrera.
Jokic mostró otra asistencia impresionante, detrás de la espalda, esta vez a Spencer Jones para una canasta en el segundo cuarto mientras Denver construía una ventaja de 74-59 al medio tiempo.
Ambos equipos estaban con bajas, con la estrella de los Spurs Victor Wembanyama (pantorrilla) y Stephon Castle (cadera) fuera, y los Nuggets sin los titulares Aaron Gordon (isquiotibiales) y Christian Braun (tobillo).
Sin Wembanyama, los Spurs dependieron de sus tiros exteriores y ocho jugadores encestaron al menos un triple.
Los Nuggets utilizaron un ataque de 23-6 para terminar la primera mitad con una ventaja de 15 puntos, y un rápido triple de Murray para abrir el tercer cuarto aumentó la ventaja de Denver a 18 puntos, pero San Antonio dominó el cuarto y solo estaba detrás 104-103 al entrar en el último cuarto.
Murray encestó tres canastas rápidas en los minutos iniciales para convertirse en el quinto jugador en la historia de la franquicia en superar los 10.000 puntos en su carrera, uniéndose a Alex English, Jokic, Dan Issel y Carmelo Anthony.

Finally playing for his father, Marmion’s Ben Piekarz comes up big again. As for dad? ‘It’s something special.’
Decisions, decisions, decisions.
Last fall, Ben Piekarz didn’t make it easy for his dad, Joe, when the Marmion coach was putting the finishing touches on his varsity roster. And the coach wouldn’t have wanted it any other way.
Young Ben was a member of a talented sophomore class for the Cadets. How talented?
Four sophomores played up on the varsity all season, contributing mightily to a team that ended up 18-15. Ben, meanwhile, kept working and led the remaining sophomores to a 22-9 record.
“It was tough at first,” Ben said. “I worked hard in the offseason to get that spot and ended up not getting it. But my sophomore coach, Adam Terrell, taught me so many things about the game.
“Sometimes, some guys have to develop more. I had a great year on the sophomore team and I thought I developed my game nicely. I had a great time, and looking back on it, I’m blessed.”

It has been apparent this week at Batavia’s Ken Peddy Thanksgiving Tournament that Ben Piekarz, a 5-foot-9 junior guard, has been quite a blessing for Marmion.
He was the first player off the bench Friday night and scored all 15 of his points in the first half of a 78-49 rout of Bartlett that featured a running clock in the fourth quarter.
Senior guard Ali Tharwani scored 24 points and junior guard Joseph Kramer added 20 for the Cadets (2-1). Junior guard Joey Cwik scored 16 points and senior guard Mikey Kampa had 10 for the Hawks (0-3).
“We’re a young team trying to learn how to play the game,” Bartlett coach Jim Wolfsmith said.

The Cadets, on the other hand, shot 47% (15 of 32) from the floor in the first half to take a 49-27 lead and finished with 10 3-pointers, including six from Kramer and two from Piekarz.
“There were a lot of discussions and we could have easily gone with a different four playing up,” Joe Piekarz said of last season.
But Ben started in the team’s opener, a 69-51 loss to Maine East. and then also came off the bench in a 55-53 win over Batavia. He came up big in the final minute of that game.
Working off a screen and taking a feed from Tharwani, Piekarz swished a 3-pointer that erased a 53-51 deficit. Fouled on the play, he made the free throw for the final score.

“I mix up my starting lineup the first week of the season, trying different combinations,” Joe Piekarz said. “I think that 4-point play really boosted Ben’s confidence. He came in this game and picked up where he left off.
“He’s been working really hard on getting to the rim. He can shoot the three but players have to be able to do multiple things to make themselves more of a weapon.”
Tharwani also continues to flash a strong all-around game, posting five rebounds, four assists and three steals against Bartlett.
“We have only three seniors on the roster,” Joe Piekarz said. “So when you have a team full of juniors, you need some sort of senior leadership, and Ali has been that guy.
“Because he gets a lot of points and assists, people gravitate to that, but he can defend as well.”

Ben Piekarz, who continues to hit the weight room to boost his strength, confirmed that Tharwani is “a great leader, has a great vibe, and he’s amazing people.”
What about playing for his dad for the first time in high school?
“It’s awesome,” Ben said. “It’s something special. I’m glad I get the opportunity.”
The feeling, of course, is mutual.
“He has big goals for himself and big aspirations for basketball and what he can do,” Joe said of his son. “We try to keep a balance. He understands what happens on the court is coach to son, not dad to son.”

Los cuartos de final de la Copa NBA toman forma: Heat-Magic y Knicks-Raptors completan el Este
Por TIM REYNOLDS
Los dos primeros duelos de cuartos de final de la Copa NBA están definidos. Miami irá a Orlando y Nueva York a Toronto.
Y los campeones defensores de la copa no tendrán la oportunidad de revalidar su cetro.
Nueva York consiguió el último de los cuatro pasajes disponibles en la Conferencia Este, merced a la victoria de 118-109 obtenida el viernes sobre los Bucks de Milwaukee, monarcas vigentes del certamen, para ganar el Grupo C del Este.
La derrota de los Bucks les impidió avanzar a los cuartos de final.
“Les dije a los muchachos que hicieron un trabajo increíble para encontrar la manera”, dijo el entrenador de los Knicks, Mike Brown.
Toronto ganó el Grupo A del Este, Orlando se llevó el primer sitio del Grupo B de esa misma conferencia, y ambos conjuntos lo hicieron con récords de 4-0. Los Knicks terminaron 3-1 en el Grupo C y finalizaron en la cima porque tenían a su favor el criterio de desempate, su duelo directo con Miami, que también terminó 3-1.
Los partidos de cuartos de final se jugarán el 9 o 10 de diciembre. El Magic ganó su grupo con una victoria de 112-109 sobre Detroit el viernes por la noche, y como primer preclasificado jugará contra el Heat, que es comodín.
“Estamos muy felices de estar en casa”, expresó el entrenador del Magic, Jamahl Mosley. “Tenemos algunos de los mejores fanáticos de la NBA. Ellos estarán allí, apoyándonos, listos para ir… Para nosotros, hacer esto es muy especial para nuestros muchachos en este momento”.
Los partidos Heat-Magic y Knicks-Raptors crearán una pequeña peculiaridad en el calendario. Los duelos de cuartos de final cuentan como parte de la temporada regular, por lo que Miami y Orlando terminarán jugando cinco veces esta temporada, la primera vez que eso sucede desde 1993-94. Los Knicks y Raptors se enfrentarán cinco veces también.
El Heat juega un partido de temporada regular en Orlando el 5 de diciembre, su segunda visita allí esta temporada. Unos días después, volverá para un encuentro de cuartos de final de la Copa.
“Es genial”, consideró Desmond Bane de Orlando, cuando se le informó que el Magic consiguió un duelo de cuartos de final de la Copa en casa. “Estamos construyendo algo especial”.
Los tres lugares restantes de cuartos de final de la Copa en la Conferencia Oeste también se estaban decidiendo el viernes por la noche. Los Lakers de Los Ángeles, que ganaron la Copa inaugural en 2023, eran el único equipo del Oeste con un boleto asegurado en los cuartos de final al iniciar la jornada.

Jalen Brunson anota 37 puntos mientras Knicks vencen 118-111 a Bucks y avanzan en la Copa NBA
NUEVA YORK (AP) — Jalen Brunson anotó 37 puntos y los Knicks de Nueva York avanzaron a la ronda eliminatoria de la Copa NBA, venciendo 118-111 a los Bucks de Milwaukee el viernes por la noche en el regreso de Giannis Antetokounmpo tras una lesión en la ingle.
Miles McBride sumó 19 puntos, incluidos dos triples en los minutos iniciales del último cuarto para poner a los Knicks adelante por 13. Nueva York tuvo un récord de 3-1 para ganar el Grupo C del Este.
Josh Hart tuvo 19 unidades y 15 rebotes en su tercer juego de regreso en la alineación titular. Mikal Bridges anotó 14 tantos mientras los Knicks lanzaron con un 44% de efectividad.
Antetokounmpo terminó con 30 puntos, 15 rebotes y ocho asistencias en 28 minutos después de perderse cuatro juegos.
Kyle Kuzma añadió 20 puntos mientras Milwaukee perdió su séptimo partido consecutivo y fue eliminado del torneo con un récord de 2-2 en la fase de grupos. A.J. Green finalizó con 18 puntos para los Bucks, quienes lanzaron con un 52.1% de efectividad y encestaron 18 triples.
Brunson tuvo su tercer juego de 30 puntos desde que regresó tras una ausencia de dos partidos debido a un esguince en el tobillo derecho. Encestó siete de ocho tiros en el tercer cuarto, cuando los Knicks convirtieron un déficit de un punto al medio tiempo en una ventaja de cuatro.
Los Bucks casi remontaron un déficit de 13 tantos en el cuarto período, pero Brunson encestó tres tiros libres después de recibir una falta de Antetokounmpo con 3:37 por jugar y preparó el tercer triple de McBride del cuarto para una ventaja de 110-107 casi un minuto después. La jugada de tres puntos de Brunson con 1:27 por jugar puso el marcador en 114-107.
Los Knicks perdieron brevemente una ventaja de seis puntos al final del tercer cuarto, pero se reagruparon y mantuvieron una ventaja de 92-88 en el cuarto después de que Bridges y Brunson encestaran triples en el último minuto. McBride encestó dos triples y Tyler Kolek también anotó uno para una ventaja de 101-88 al inicio del período antes de que Milwaukee regresara con fuerza.

3 takeaways as the Chicago Bulls drop an embarrassing loss, including a dismal 35-year old defensive record
Midway through the second quarter of Friday’s 123-116 loss to the Charlotte Hornets, Coby White ran out of runway.
The play started like normal. White put his head down and stopped worrying about defenders. He charged toward the rim, barreling awkwardly into Moussa Diabaté in a flat parabola that sent him crashing down into the hardwood.
White had wanted to play hero, offer the Chicago Bulls another two points as they found themselves mired in a shootout against the sixth-worst defense in the league. Instead, he ended up halfway into a back roll, shoulders crunched against the stanchion, legs flailing with the bleak desperation that defined the Bulls throughout the first half.
White’s feet hit both Brandon Miller and Diabaté in the process, contact that was too aimless to inflict injury. The officiating team nevertheless upgraded the foul to a flagrant 1, a designation that White half-heartedly disputed as a trainer taped up his scraped knee. The outcome was a familiar one for the Bulls — another small error that piled into a deficit, then ultimately a loss.
The Hornets are not a competitive team. This is accepted as a fact in the NBA. They had won only four games before Friday night. They rank 12th in the Eastern Conference and give opponents the relative resistance of a colander on defense. And yet their offense was simply too much for the Bulls to counteract.
Same with the New Orleans Pelicans, who won their third game of the season against the Bulls earlier this week. And the Utah Jazz, who took their fifth win of the season off the Bulls. Games against the Bulls have transformed into dates to circle on the calendar — a rare opportunity to score at will and, if you’re lucky, pick up a win to boot.
Here are three takeaways from the loss.
1. The Bulls were bleeding points.

One hundred and sixteen points should be enough. That’s the brutally plain problem of nearly every Bulls loss this season. One hundred and sixteen points should be enough to win a basketball game. But it wasn’t — and it hasn’t been for a long time.
The Bulls have now allowed at least 120 points for 11 consecutive games, the longest such streak in 35 years of NBA history. This consistent permeability disarms any strengths the Bulls might have to offer, preventing them from establishing runs and exacerbating every individual error.
This is an insurmountable weakness. Chicago allows its opponents to score the third-highest volume of points (124.2) in the entire NBA. Only the five-win Utah Jazz and two-win Washington Wizards allow more points. And even with one of the highest-scoring offenses in the league, the Bulls rarely have enough in the tank to counteract their own defensive deficiencies.
2. Losses in the margins.
Most Bulls games can be defined by the same handful of stats — opponent rim attempts and second-chance points. These two variables represent the basic equation of marginal gains — or losses — that can help or hurt the Bulls in their attempt to establish consistency as a roster with no All-Stars.
The Bulls can sling dozens of shots from behind the arc and push the pace in transition from the opening whistle to the final buzzer. But if they don’t keep opponents off the rim and prevent offensive rebounds, they spend most of the second half fighting an uphill battle due mostly to self-inflicted wounds. The Bulls have now finished 12 of their 18 games this season in the clutch — and lost five of those games — often as a result of these inconsistencies.
Against Charlotte, the Bulls clinched a rare win in the paint — outscoring the Hornets 74-56 — but still allowed 44 points at the rim. But this doesn’t mean the Hornets lacked penetration; they simply sprayed out their chances at the rim, which helped to fuel their 15 baskets from behind the arc.
The Hornets scored 10 points off second-chance opportunities while logging 10 offensive rebounds. The depth of this weakness was captured with 42 seconds left in the fourth quarter, when Diabaté outjumped two Bulls defenders to secure an offensive rebound and kick the ball back out to LaMelo Ball for a second-chance opportunity. The Hornets did not ultimately score on that drive, but the offensive rebound allowed the home team to burn 12 precious seconds of the clock.
3. Bulls eliminated from the NBA Cup.
Friday’s loss officially dashed any lingering hopes for the Bulls to advance out of East Group C in the NBA Cup. The Bulls won only one of their four games in the group stage, dropping losses to the Miami Heat, Milwaukee Bucks and Charlotte Hornets.
The New York Knicks won the group outright with a 118-109 win Friday over the Bucks. The Heat are also slated to advance as a wild-card team.

Wrong-way drivers among problems cited for East Dundee’s River/Main Street intersection
Engineering consultants who gathered data about the safety of the Main Street/River Street intersection in East Dundee observed nine motorists driving the wrong way on River Street within 12 hours.
“They (also) noticed a close call resulting in some road rage and, really, kind of a scary incident,” said Steve Pautsch, Civiltech Engineering project engineer told the East Dundee Village Board at a recent meeting.
Civiltech, as part of a Bike and Pedestrian Plan it’s doing for the village, is also looking at the saftey of the Main Street/Route 72 and River Street intersection, which was the most frequently cited safety concern in a resident survey and at public meetings.
Pautsch said the study used new technology that can capture information and video on near-miss crashes. Such technology has not been used in Illinois before, consultants said.
The study took place during peak hours from Sept. 24 to 28 at which time there was a high volume of pedestrians and cyclists crossing the west leg of Main Street, the consultants said.
One hundred and twenty-seven pedestrians and 236 cyclists were counted, and the eastbound and southbound right-turn lanes at the intersection had a high traffic volume, the study found. On southbound River Street, 170 vehicles were counted.
Data showed pedestrian and bike crashes tend to be sporadic, with complaints also made for near misses, Pautsch said.
What consultants found is motorists yield to pedestrians and cyclists but don’t give them enough space, he said.
“It’s more of an issue of driver behavior than an engineering difficulty” of the intersection or crosswalk, Pautsch said.
Civiltech consultants are recommending some changes that might help in the short term, such as posting a stop-for-pedestrians sign and adding a right turn on a red light restriction to the westbound lane of Route 72.
Long-term recommendations are still being developed but could include realigning the crosswalks, relocating the Fox River Trail to the west side of South River Street and improving the sightlines by doing things like removing the village’s digital sign.
Lissa Sweeney, transportation planner with Civiltech, also gave village officials a progress report of the Bike and Pedestrian Plan. The idea is “to create a roadmap to prioritize future projects when opportunities are available,” she said, and to provide the data needed for the village to apply for funding grants.
Improving safety and enhancing connectivity for people walking, bicycling and rolling throughout the village is the goal, Sweeney said. It will build on the village’s existing bike and pedestrian network, she said.
The Fox River Trail is the primary walking/biking path in East Dundee but lacks sidewalks or paths for east-west connectivity, Sweeney said. There also are gaps in the sidewalk network and only one pedestrian signal downtown and not along other major roads, she said.
Civiltech is expecting to wrap up its work in the spring. A public meeting will be held for residents to provide more feedback before the village board reviews and approves the plan, Sweeney said.

‘Beneath Sheep’s Clothing’: Communism’s Capture Of America
‘Beneath Sheep’s Clothing’: Communism’s Capture Of America
Authored by Rudolph Lambert Fernandez via The Epoch Times (emphasis ours),
Anti-Communism Week has been marked for November 2025. Writer-producer Julie Behling’s documentary “Beneath Sheep’s Clothing” warns of communism’s devastation: “Globally, communism claimed the lives of approximately 150 million people in the 20th century.”
The narrator continues, “This history is now suspiciously missing from America’s public school systems.” Therein lies a tale.
This documentary shows how socialism-communism that’s failed somewhere keeps trying to reinvent itself elsewhere, typically prioritizing rights over responsibilities.
For example, yes, source-country citizens have a right to emigrate. But host nations owe their own citizens managed, meaningful immigration. Source countries also have responsibilities to ensure their citizens aren’t compelled to emigrate, just as those emigrating must be bound by host-nation norms, not enforce theirs.
Introspection requires humility and courage; the film mentions two people who showed both. Manning Johnson fell under communism’s spell, then found his Christian upbringing and critical thinking at odds with communism’s self-destructive mass hypnosis. Bella Dodd did likewise.
There’s a misconception, critical race theory critic James Lindsay suggests, that Karl Marx put forth an economic doctrine. In truth, he put forth a totalitarian “religion” that forces people to remake themselves into what they’re not. Fuller treatment of this theme can be found in Lindsay’s podcast.
Communism in the Classroom
In Behling’s film, Lindsay addresses parents. He says the communists are “coming for your kids, your kids are the revolution for them.” They’ll get around to brainwashing children, but they must ensure parents can’t “brainwash them first.” Once a “politics of oppression” has entered the classroom, it’s easier to mobilize students as activists, as they were mobilized for COVID-19 hysteria and lockdowns, Black Lives Matter, pro-Palestine, or anti-Israel protests.
Lindsay, Behling, and educator Cari Bartholomew lament how America’s K-12 school education terms nearly everything “systemic”: racism, homophobia, transphobia, sexism. Being “woke,” is being awake to these supposedly self-perpetuating hegemonies and denouncing them.
This requires finding solutions through oppressor-oppressed binaries. And it’s racial minorities, radical feminists, and LGBT figures who get to decide who’s oppressed, who’s oppressing, and what the solutions are.
The Whole School, Whole Community, Whole Child framework envisages schools caring for all of a child’s needs, relegating parents to redundancy, and undermining moral values and church authority. It schools children to complain, blame, feel entitled, and prioritize their feelings over everything and everyone else.
Education theorist Henry Giroux’s “praxis” in the late 20th century was to get radicals tenured as professors and shape teachers unions around Marxist agenda and conformity. But Lindsay says, it wasn’t until the 21st century that socialism-communism powered ahead, contorting America’s institutions around victimhood and self-loathing.
“Common Core” curriculum, effectively erased (and revised) much of American history, dumbing down academic standards, enforcing a device-led conformity around “content.” Journalist Alex Newman says it’s not education but “behavioral training,” much like the physiologist Ivan Pavlov who trained his lab dogs to develop compulsive responses to stimuli.
Behling explains, “A dumbed-down populace led by emotion and accustomed to the constant, instant reward of dopamine hits for clicking the right boxes? It’s easier to control than a rugged, skeptical, critically thinking populace.” It’s why too many parents took too long to question film, TV, or on-campus shows for preschool children featuring gender-bending characters.
Why is a culture of grievance attractive? Behling admits this is because oppression happened. But the socialist-communist playbook marries truth to a lie. It pretends that Marxist solutions, such as reparations or redistribution of private property, will restore for the oppressed the rights of their past, by absolving them of their responsibilities in the present.
Sexuality in Schools
Critic of Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) Lisa Logan warns of how “Transformative” SEL encourages schoolteachers to teach “power dynamics,” to make white children learn that they’re “privileged,” that supremacy is so ingrained that they have “implicit bias.” Their very skin informs their racism.
Teachers emotionally blackmail children, holding them accountable for things they can barely understand, coercing them into becoming allies (and activists) for sundry causes. Trouble is, cognitive dissonance results when children are schooled on beliefs that destroy familial, religious, and cultural beliefs their parents try to inculcate at home.
Transformative SEL medicalizes schools, pathologizing disagreements, critical thinking, and religious or spiritual traditions. Social workers, psychologists, and curricula from organizations such as Planned Parenthood have introduced Comprehensive Sexuality Education, discussing sexuality, identities, and puberty blockers in classrooms, rather than age-appropriate sex education.
Newman cites a 2023 Boston Middle School Youth Risk Behavior Survey that asks children how many sex partners they’ve had, offering up to six options, the lowest being “never” and the highest being “6 or more people.” Other questions are equally depraved. The point is to normalize deviancy in children whose brains aren’t developed enough to judge for themselves what’s normal and abnormal for a child.
What Can Be Done?
First, democracies must shed complacency. Implied in the film, socialist self-destructiveness shows up in the unlikeliest places; socialist democracies aren’t immune because they’re democracies.
India’s nationalist-Hindutva state and party ideology, for instance, demands conformity as proof of patriotism, labeling lack of it as treason. Ignoring the diversity of India’s nearly 30 states, the federal government floods public life with conformity slogans.
Implied is the notion that, if the prefix “One Nation” announces policy, whatever practice follows must also be “one” and adopted unquestioningly: one religion, one election, civil code, language, curriculum. Or one email server.
Second, democracies must recognize that “equity” from the socialist-communist diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) playbook is a trick. It’s made to sound like more or better equality. It’s neither. It is instead, as Lindsay says, “An administered political economy in which shares are adjusted so citizens are made equal.”
A New Wrapper
It’s socialism in a new wrapper. It undermines diversity, imposing a dull sameness. Behold the tyranny of pronouns. Far from inclusive, it excludes, as Mao’s in-or-out-groups once did, naming those deserving of state and party commendation and shaming, blaming, and punishing those deserving of condemnation.
Third, Lindsay suggests, fights for religious liberty must accompany those for individual liberty. Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn once said, “Only moral criteria can help the West against communism’s well-planned world strategy.” Yes, Christ’s call was to be as gentle as doves. But Lindsay wonders, whatever happened to Christ’s other call, to also be as wise as serpents?
Finally, those who care about democracy must speak up, act, and work for family stability and trust as the best antidote to a cult. Ignorance is no longer an excuse. Lindsay admits that fear holds people back; they fear ostracism and losing their jobs, friends, and family.

But he insists, the truth matters more. Love for our children and the world we leave behind matters more. Mom Army founder Seak Smith recalled the savagery of Cambodian communism. She now devotes her energy to supporting (or opposing) bills that protect (or endanger) children, through lobbying and litigation.
When Ronald Reagan railed against similar evils in his 1964 speech, he didn’t use the word “communism” once. But he did use the word “socialism” five times, hinting at a war with “the most dangerous enemy.” Aptly, Behling’s film has his voiceover calling for conviction, courage, clarity, character: “There is a price we will not pay … a point beyond which they must not advance.”
