Timberwolves have one last chance to take an inferior foe seriously. Their play-in seed depends on it

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 21:45:20 GMT

The NBA regular season wraps in a very fitting way for the Timberwolves.Lurking Sunday is a home game against New Orleans that could determine whether Minnesota needs to win one play-in game to reach the playoffs, or two. Such a game would be an exciting conclusion to the 82-game campaign in front of a packed home crowd. The Timberwolves have fared well in high-stakes square-offs against high-level competition throughout the season.But, before the Wolves take part in such a high-stakes duel, they must first take care of lesser competition the day prior.Minnesota controls its own destiny in its pursuit of a top-eight seed. But, assuming the Pelicans take care of the short-handed Knicks on Friday, the Timberwolves must first handle their business against a bad team Saturday before earning their must-see matinee.If Minnesota doesn’t beat San Antonio on Saturday in Austin, Texas, Sunday’s game could be rendered moot from the Wolves’ perspective, and they could be locke...

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 21:45:20 GMT

ALBANY, N.Y. (WTEN) -- It’s been just over a year since the state implemented the HALT Act; limiting the time an incarcerated person spends in solitary confinement to 15 days. Some say the bill makes prisons more dangerous, but others think it’s necessary to maintain the mental and physical health for incarcerated people.   NYSCOPBA doesn’t want to HALT solitary confinement According to the State Department of Corrections, since HALT was enacted, there’s been a total of 3,113 assaults in New York’s correctional facilities. The year prior, that number was 2,375. A 33% jump in overall violence.  It’s something the Correction’s Officers union sees first hand. "Incarcerated, individuals, understand the system, you know they play the system, they work the system to an extent and I’m not suggesting that they all do it but you know there’s some that do it and they recognize that the consequences aren’t there anymore and there’s no deterrent for them to stop that," said Michael Powers, pr...

NYS fire investigator shares insight on deciphering a scene

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 21:45:20 GMT

ALBANY, N.Y. (NEWS10) -- It’s not surprising some still think a fire should be solved in the time it takes to watch an episode of CSI or Forensic Files. Investigations Chief Bill McGovern with the NYS Office of Fire Prevention and Control says he’s heard it all before."I do shake my head often. Television is entertainment, and I'll leave it at that," Chief McGovern laughs to NEWS10's Mikhaela Singleton. "I think oftentimes people assume fire investigations happen rapidly. It is a painstaking process. It does take some time. People also assume all of the evidence is burnt up in the fire."Chief McGovern describes a fire scene like a puzzle—one that was much harder to solve when he first started volunteering in the 90s."It used to be things were passed down as lore or tradition and we are now forced to back up our findings. It’s no longer because we said so," he explains.Luckily, he says fire is fairly predictable, and finding the point of origin can tell a lot."Fire burns the same way...
