    Jokic scores 32, Nuggets ride dominant third quarter to Game 1 win over Lakers

    [ad_1]

    DENVER — The Denver Nuggets used a dominant third quarter to build a lead they wouldn’t relinquish in Game 1 of the Western Conference First Round Saturday night, beating the Los Angeles Lakers, 114-103.

    Three Nuggets posted double-doubles in the game. Nikola Jokic scored 32 points and grabbed 12 rebounds, Jamal Murray had 22 points and 10 assists, and Aaron Gordon added 12 points and 11 boards in the win.

    Michael Porter, Jr. scored 19 points and secured eight rebounds.

    Down by three at the half, Denver returned to the Ball Arena floor with a vengeance, building a lead as large as 14 in the third quarter and going into the fourth with an 11-point lead.

    The Nuggets, who last played six days ago in the regular season finale, got off to a slow start. They fell behind by 12 through 20 minutes of game action, but erased the entire deficit in just over three minutes during the second quarter. Denver trailed 60-57 at the half thanks to a 32-foot Lebron James three-pointer in the final seconds of the second frame.

    James finished with 27 points on the night. Anthony Davis added 32 of his own for Los Angeles.

    The win marks the ninth consecutive win for the Nuggets over Los Angeles, including the sweep in last year’s Western Conference Finals.

  • Chauncey Billups, a Denver native and former Nugget, to be inducted into Naismith Hall of Fame: Report

    Chauncey Billups, a Denver native and former Nugget, to be inducted into Naismith Hall of Fame: Report

    [ad_1]

    DENVER — Chauncey Billups, a Denver native who played parts of five seasons over two stints with the Denver Nuggets during a remarkable 17-year NBA career, will reportedly be inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame.

    The Athletic’s NBA insider Shams Charania posted the report to the social media site X, saying that a formal announcement would come this weekend. Vince Carter, who played 22 seasons in the NBA, will join Billups in the Hall of Fame class, according to Charania.

    Billups was born in Denver and graduated from George Washington High School, where the basketball court now bears his name. He attended the University of Colorado, where he averaged 18.5 points, 5.6 rebounds, 5.1 assists and 1.9 steals over two seasons in 1995-1997. Billups earned Consensus All-American and 1st-team All-Big 12 honors in his sophomore season in 1996-97.

    He would go on to play for the Denver Nuggets between 1998-2000. He then played two seasons in Minnesota before joining the Detroit Pistons, where he was named NBA Finals MVP in their 2004 title run. Billups would return home in 2008 when the Pistons dealt him to the Nuggets in a blockbuster trade that sent star point guard Allen Iverson to Detroit.

    Later that season, Billups hit eight three-pointers in a Western Conference First Round game against the Charlotte Hornets, which at the time was a Nuggets franchise record.

    Billups averaged 17 points, 5 assists and 3 rebounds per game as a Nugget, and still ranks 10th in franchise history in three-pointers made with 514.

    He is now the head coach of the Portland Trail Blazers.

  • Report: Norway detains university lecturer as suspected spy

    Report: Norway detains university lecturer as suspected spy

    [ad_1]

    COPENHAGEN, Denmark — Norway’s domestic security agency has detained a man who entered the country as a Brazilian citizen but is suspected of being a Russian spy, a Norwegian broadcaster reported Tuesday.

    The man was arrested Monday in the Arctic city of Tromsoe, Norwegian public broadcaster NRK said, adding that investigators believe he was in Norway under a false name and identity while working for one of Russia’s intelligence services.

    Norwegian Police Security Service deputy chief Hedvig Moe told NRK that the man had been based at the Arctic University of Norway in Tromsoe as “a Brazilian researcher” and would be expelled from the Scandinavian country “because we believe he represents a threat to fundamental national interests.”

    The security service, known as PST, “is concerned that he may have acquired a network and information about Norway’s policy in the northern region,” Moe said, according to NRK. “Even if this network or the information bit by bit is a threat to the security of the kingdom, we are worried that the information could be misused by Russia.”

    PST representatives were not immediately available to comment. In a statement, Arctic University of Norway administrator Jørgen Fossland said the person in question was “a guest lecturer” at the school. Fossland referred other questions to the security service.

    Several Russian citizens have been detained in Norway in recent weeks. They include three men and a woman who were seen allegedly taking photos in central Norway of objects covered under a photography ban. They have since been released.

    European nations have heightened security around key energy, internet and power infrastructure following underwater explosions that ruptured two natural gas pipelines in the Baltic Sea that were built to deliver Russian gas to Germany.

    The damaged Nord Stream pipelines off Sweden and Denmark discharged huge amounts of methane, a potent greenhouse gas, into the air.
