NBA PLAYOFFS-LAKERS\/NUGGETS<\/p>\n
Lakers top Nuggets for 3-1 series lead<\/p>\n
LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. (AP) \u2014 In one sense, the Los Angeles Lakers are one win away from a berth in the NBA Finals after taking a 3-1 series lead against the Denver Nuggets. In another sense, the Nuggets have the Lakers right where they want them.<\/p>\n
Anthony Davis scored 34 points and LeBron James had 26 in the Lakers’ 114-108 victory over the Nuggets in the Western Conference finals. Davis made his first six shots before another Laker made a basket.<\/p>\n
James added nine rebounds and eight assists for Los Angeles, which had 12 offensive rebounds for a whopping 25-6 advantage in second-chance points.<\/p>\n
Jamal Murray had 32 points and eight assists, but Nikola Jokic (nih-KOH’-lah YOH’-kihch) battled foul trouble and finished with just 16 points and seven rebounds.<\/p>\n
The Nuggets are in a familiar position down 3-1 heading into Game 5 on Saturday. They were in identical situations in the first two rounds, only to storm back to beat the Jazz and Clippers.<\/p>\n

BRADENTON, Fla. (AP) \u2014 Jewell Loyd scored 20 points and the Seattle Storm beat the Minnesota Lynx 89-79 on Thursday night to take a 2-0 lead in the best-of-5 WNBA semifinal series. Loyd had 10 points in a 12-0 run to end the first half, including consecutive 3-pointers, for a 46-33 lead and the Storm led the rest of the way, fending off multiple Lynx charges. Damiris Dantas made five 3-pointers and led the Lynx with 23 points. Odyssey Sims added 18 points.<\/p>\n
BRADENTON, Fla. (AP) \u2014 Alyssa Thomas, knocked out of Game 2 two days ago by a dislocated shoulder, made a surprise start and led the Connecticut Sun to a 77-68 victory over the Las Vegas Aces on Thursday night for a 2-1 lead in the best-of-five semifinal series. Thomas scored 23 points on 10-of-21 shooting and had 12 rebounds. Brionna Jones had 15 points and 10 rebounds, and DeWanna Bonner 12 points and 10 boards for the Sun.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL-PAC-12<\/p>\n
Pac-12 to play football this fall<\/p>\n
UNDATED (AP) \u2014 There\u2019s great news for West Coast football fans.<\/p>\n
The Pac-12 has decided to play football this fall, reversing an August decision to postpone until spring because of concerns over COVID-19.<\/p>\n
The conference\u2019s CEO group of university presidents voted unanimously to resume football and basketball, lifting a Jan. 1 moratorium on athletic competition for Pac-12 schools. The football season will begin in early November and culminate with a championship game to be held on Dec. 18.<\/p>\n
The men\u2019s and women\u2019s basketball seasons can start Nov. 25, in line with the NCAA\u2019s recently announced opening date.<\/p>\n
The Pac-12 is the latest Power-5 conference to reverse course after announcing the football season would be postponed. The Big Ten will open its season next month after initially deciding to delay or if necessary, cancel the season. The ACC and Big 12 began their seasons this month and the SEC starts up on Saturday.<\/p>\n
MLB…<\/p>\n
\u2014 Salvador Perez belted a three-run home run and Maikel (MY’-kehl) Franco hit a go-ahead blast in the sixth inning as the Royals outscored the Tigers, 8-7. Adalberto Mondesi had four hits and two RBIs for Kansas City.<\/p>\n
UNDATED (AP) \u2014 The Cleveland Indians have rebounded nicely since an eight-game losing streak seemed to knock them out of contention for the AL Central title.<\/p>\n
The Indians completed a four-game sweep of the White Sox by putting together a four-run seventh in a 5-4 victory against the former division leaders. Jos\u00e9 Ram\u00edrez delivered a go-ahead, two-run double in the seventh, giving him a .485 average with eight homers and 20 RBIs over his last 13 games.<\/p>\n
Chicago scored three times in the top of the seventh to take a 4-1 lead before suffering its fifth consecutive loss. The latest setback leaves the White Sox one game behind the division-leading Twins and one game ahead of Cleveland for the fourth seed in the AL.<\/p>\n
Elsewhere on the big league schedule:<\/p>\n
\u2014 The Blue Jays beat the Yankees for the third time in four days as Hyun Jin Ryu (hyoon jihn ree-OO\u2019) scattered five hits over seven shutout innings of Toronto\u2019s 4-1 victory. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. smacked a solo homer and scored on Alejandro Kirk\u2019s two-run double to help Toronto wrap up its first playoff berth in four years. The Jays also climbed within two games of New York for second place in the AL East.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Jose Altuve (al-TOO’-vay) and George Springer each launched three-run homers and Alex Bregman delivered a two-run blast and three RBIs in Houston’s 12-4 dismantling of the Rangers. Josh Reddick also hit a two-run shot and rookie Cristian Javier gave up three runs over 5 2\/3 innings for his fifth win. The Astros won for just the ninth time in 29 road games and moved a step closer to wrapping up second place in the AL West.<\/p>\n
\u2014 The Cubs lost for the fifth time in six games as Chad Kuhl held them to two hits over seven innings of the Pirates\u2019 7-0 shutout of the NL Central leaders. Geoff Hartlieb and Blake Cederlind completed the whitewash in which the Bucs\u2019 staff was backed by four homers. Colin Moran and Bryan Reynolds had home runs among their three hits as Pittsburgh kept the Cubs\u2019 magic number at two for winning the NL Central.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Rookie Dylan Carlson drove in three runs on a homer and a double as the Cardinals doubled up the Brewers, 4-2 to pull within 2 1\/2 games of the NL Central lead. St. Louis starter Kwang Hyun Kim gave up a run over five innings to pick up the win. Milwaukee ace Corbin Burnes was reached for three runs on six hits over 3 2\/3 innings, leaving the game with lower back discomfort.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Walker Buehler (BYOO’-lur) worked four scoreless innings and combined with five relievers on a 3-hitter as the Dodgers silenced the Athletics, 5-1. Corey Seager had two RBIs, including a solo homer in the third inning. Kike (KEE’-kay) Hernandez contributed an RBI single that sparked the Dodgers’ three-run fifth.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Raimel Tapia lifted a go-ahead, sacrifice fly in the 11th inning to push the Rockies past the Giants, 5-4. Brandon Belt hit a game-tying home run in the eighth for his 1,000th career hit before San Francisco fell behind the Reds for the first NL wild card.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Miami snapped a four-game losing streak as Jon Berti had three hits, including a two-run double in a 4-2 verdict over the Braves. Pablo L\u00f3pez allowed only two hits in five scoreless innings to help the Marlins bolster their NL playoff hopes. Atlanta rookie Ian Anderson threw five scoreless innings before giving up three unearned runs in the sixth.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Robinson Chirinos (chih-REE\u2019-nohs) slammed a two-run homer and drove in three as the Mets earned a 3-2 win over the Nationals to barely stay alive in the NL wild-card race. Lefthander David Peterson closed his rookie season with his longest outing, going seven innings and allowing four hits and one run for his team-high sixth win.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u2014 Jos\u00e9 Iglesias, Pat Valaika (vah-LAY’-kah) and Austin Hays homered for the Orioles in a 13-1 laugher over the Red Sox. Hays, Valaika, Rio Ruiz and Ram\u00f3n Ur\u00edas each had three of Baltimore\u2019s 18 hits as the Birds won for just the second time in eight games.<\/p>\n

Mets\u2019 Conforto done for season…Royals\u2019 Gordon retiring<\/p>\n
UNDATED (AP) \u2014 The Mets have placed Michael Conforto on the injured list with a hamstring injury, ending the outfielder\u2019s regular season. Conforto was hitting a career-high .322 with nine home runs and 31 RBIs this year, ranking sixth in the National League with a .412 on-base percentage and eighth with 40 runs scored.<\/p>\n
Also around the majors:<\/p>\n
\u2014 Royals outfielder Alex Gordon has announced he will retire after the season, after spending his entire 14-year career with Kansas City. While he never quite hit with the kind of average the Royals hoped he would, Gordon turned himself into one of the best defensive players in the game. He helped the Royals to two World Series trips and a championship in 2015.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Longtime baseball executive Sandy Alderson will return to the Mets as team president if Steve Cohen\u2019s purchase of the club is approved by MLB owners. The 72-year-old Alderson is currently a senior adviser for the Athletics. He was the Mets\u2019 general manager from 2010-18 and stepped down after being diagnosed with cancer.<\/p>\n

Fitzpatrick also led the Miami Dolphins to their first victory of the year, accounting for three touchdowns in a 31-13 downing of the Jacksonville Jaguars. He completed his first 12 passes for the first time as Miami scored touchdowns on its first three drives, something the Dolphins hadn’t accomplished since 2011.<\/p>\n
Fitzpatrick passed for 160 yards and two scores while completing 18 of 20 attempts, the last one to himself. He also beat the Jaguars while with the 2008 Bengals, 2012 Bills, 2013 Titans, 2014 Texans and 2015 Jets.<\/p>\n

Fake Meadowlands turf gets green light from NFL<\/p>\n
UNDATED (AP) \u2014 The new turf at MetLife Stadium is good to go for Sunday\u2019s game between the Giants and 49ers. The NFL says an inspection of the field Wednesday found that the Field Turf surface meets all applicable standards and protocols for its field surfaces. It was conducted after the 49ers lodged complaints that the \u201csticky\u201d surface caused at least four players to sustain knee injuries in a 31-13 win over the Jets last Sunday.<\/p>\n
In other NFL news:<\/p>\n
\u2014 Niners All-Pro tight end George Kittle practiced on a limited basis for the second straight day on Thursday, a sign that he could be ready to return after missing one game with a knee injury.

\u2014 Jets coach Adam Gase says it\u2019s doubtful wide receiver Jamison Crowder will play Sunday at Indianapolis. The Jets are expected to be without wide receiver Breshad Perriman for the next two games because of an ankle injury.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Chiefs coach Andy Reid says top cornerback Charvarius Ward will return to practice in some capacity and could play Monday night against the Ravens. Ward missed last week\u2019s win over the Chargers with a fractured hand.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Patriots owner Robert Kraft won\u2019t face trial on charges he paid for massage parlor sex. Florida prosecutors are dropping a misdemeanor charge against Kraft after a court blocked their use of video that allegedly shows him paying for sex at the Orchids of Asia spa in early 2019.<\/p>\n

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) \u2014 A federal judge has stopped the 2020 census from finishing at the end of September and ordered the once-a-decade head count of every U.S. resident extended for another month through the end of October. U.S. District Judge Lucy Koh said in her ruling late Thursday that a shortened schedule would likely produce inaccurate results. A coalition of civil rights groups and local governments had sued the Census Bureau in an effort to prevent the 2020 census from stopping at the end of the month. They said the shortened schedule would undercount residents in minority and hard-to-count communities.<\/p>\n
(AP) \u00a0 A 17-year-old accused of killing two protesters days after Jacob Blake was shot by police in Kenosha, Wisconsin, faces a hearing to return him to Wisconsin to face trial on homicide charges that could put him in prison for life. Kyle Rittenhouse was arrested at his home in Antioch, Illinois, a day after prosecutors say he shot and killed two and injured a third on the streets of Kenosha on Aug. 25. His attorneys have said Rittenhouse acted in self defense. A Friday court hearing in Illinois was to determine whether to send Rittenhouse to Wisconsin to face charges.<\/p>\n

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) \u2014 Police in Portland, Oregon, have declared an unlawful assembly at a demonstration where a fire was set outside a police union building late Thursday. Several photos and videos posted online showed flames erupting outside the doors of the Portland Police Association office. News outlets report the fire was quickly extinguished. On Wednesday night people hurled several firebombs at officers in Oregon\u2019s largest city during a demonstration over a Kentucky grand jury\u2019s decision to not indict officers in the fatal shooting of Breonna Taylor, police said.

NEW YORK (AP) \u2014 A federal appeals court is set to hear arguments Friday in President Donald Trump\u2019s long-running fight to prevent a New York top prosecutor from getting his tax returns. Trump\u2019s lawyers appealed to the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals after a district court judge last month rejected their renewed efforts to invalidate a subpoena issued to his accounting firm by the office of Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance Jr. A temporary restraining order remains in effect, preventing any tax records from being turned over at least until the latest appeal is decided. Trump has said he expects the case to return to the Supreme Court, making it unlikely the dispute will be resolved before the November election.<\/p>\n

STOCKHOLM (AP) \u2014 Teenage environmental activist Greta Thunberg is back. On Friday, she joined fellow demonstrators outside the Swedish Parliament to kick off a day of socially distanced global climate protests. The coronavirus outbreak has prevented the Fridays for Future movement that Thunberg inspired from holding its mass rallies in recent months, lowering its public profile. The movement demands that lawmakers stick to the 2015 landmark Paris climate deal to curb the rise in global temperatures that is melting glaciers, raising sea levels and shifting rainfall patterns.<\/p>\n

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) \u2014 Police in Louisville, Kentucky, say at least 24 people were arrested from a protest in the city on Thursday. A statement says charges included unlawful assembly, failure to disperse and riot in the first degree. Authorities allege the protesters broke windows at a restaurant, damaged city buses, tried to set a fire and threw a flare into the street. Protests have broken out across the country following the announcement Wednesday that no officers were directly charged in the fatal shooting of Breonna Taylor. The Black woman was killed during a police raid in March. Police pulled back from the Louisville protest on Thursday night after negotiating an ending with demonstrators.<\/p>\n

WASHINGTON (AP) \u2014 Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg becomes the first woman in American history to lie in state in the U.S. Capitol, capping days of commemorations of her extraordinary life. The justice died last week at age 87. She also will be the first Jewish-American to lie in state and just the second Supreme Court justice. The first was Chief Justice William Howard Taft, who also had been president. Ginsburg\u2019s casket will be brought to the Capitol Friday morning for a private ceremony in Statuary Hall attended by her family and lawmakers. Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden and his wife, Jill, plan to attend.<\/p>\n

LONDON (AP) \u2014 A British police officer has been shot dead inside a London police station while detaining a suspect. London\u2019s Metropolitan Police force said the officer was shot at the Croydon Custody Center in the south of the city early Friday. The 23-year-old man being detained was also shot and is in a critical condition in a hospital. The force said no police weapons were fired. The force has launched a murder inquiry and the independent police watchdog is also investigating. It is rare for police officers to be shot and killed in the U.K., which has strict firearms laws. The last London police officer killed in the line of duty was fatally stabbed in March 2017.<\/p>\n

TOKYO (AP) \u2014 Global shares are mixed, cheered by a modest rally on Wall Street and hopes for fresh stimulus for the U.S. economy. Benchmarks in Europe fell in early trading Friday, but major markets apart from China’s were higher. Despite signs of a global economic rebound in the third quarter, worries remain the upturn may be running out of steam. Layered on top of all the myriad concerns are the still-raging coronavirus pandemic and the threat that worsening outbreaks around the world could lead to more business restrictions. Despite festering partisan divides, pressures are building for Congress to forge a compromise and produce another round of economic stimulus.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
