digital circus pomni HOUSTON (AP) — Rockets forward Amen Thompson threw Heat guard Tyler Herro to the floor to trigger an altercation that resulted in six ejections in the closing minute of Miami's 104-100 victory over Houston on Sunday. Thompson and Herro became entangled with Miami about to inbound the ball leading 99-94 with 35 seconds left. Thompson grabbed Herro by the jersey and tossed him, with referee Marc Davis describing it as Thompson “body slams Herro .” “I didn’t see it live, but I re-watched it,” Rockets coach Ime Udoka said. “They were in each other’s face, bumping chests a little bit, and one guy’s stronger than the other.” Herro, Thompson, and Udoka were ejected, as were Heat guard Terry Rozier, Rockets guard Jalen Green, and Rockets assistant coach Ben Sullivan. Davis said Green and Rozier escalated the altercation, while Sullivan was assessed a technical foul and ejected for unsportsmanlike comments as the referee was trying to redirect the Rockets' Alperen Sengun. The altercation occurred after Miami had come from 12 points down in the second half to regain the lead with the help of Houston missing 11 straight shots in the fourth quarter. Herro keyed the comeback, leading all scorers with 27 points and adding nine assists and six rebounds. He believed that's what frustrated Thompson. “Guess that’s what’s happens when someone’s scoring, throwing dimes, doing the whole thing,” Herro said. “I’d get mad, too.” Herro said he had never spoken to Thompson, who did not talk to reporters after Sunday’s game, so there was no previous bad blood between the two. “Just two competitors going at it, playing basketball,” Herro said. “It was a regular game that we were playing throughout.” Houston's Fred VanVleet had been ejected just before the fight, with Davis saying VanVleet made contact with him after being called for a 5-second violation. The win for Miami came 24 hours after losing 120-110 in Atlanta. The Heat were missing second-leading scorer Jimmy Butler for a fifth straight game, so Herro was proud of his team played against one of NBA’s best teams this season. “They’re top two, three in the West,” Herro said. “Very good defense. Got a bunch of young, athletic guys that can really play, so that’s a good win for us. That’s a stepping stone. We go 2-1 on the road. Put ourselves in a position to win yesterday, and I like how it’s going. We just got to continue to keep getting better.”

PHILADELPHIA — One month ago, few would have expected the Nets and 76ers to be in their current states. The Nets playing above preseason expectations and the 76ers drowning among the league’s worst teams. Few would’ve also expected Cam Johnson to morph into a lethal scorer despite his hot shooting touch. Johnson kept up his torrid pace Friday night but the 76ers’ dual closers of Tyrese Maxey and Jared McCain were too much, sending the Nets to a 113-98 loss at Wells Fargo Center in Emirates NBA Cup play. After scoring 34 last game, Johnson scored 37 points, one shy of his career-high. He tied his career-high with nine made three-pointers and extended a stretch where he came into the game shooting 52.1% on field goals and 41.8% on three-pointers over his last nine games. For the first time in his career, Johnson scored at least 20 points in three consecutive games. It went for naught because the Nets (6-10) couldn’t control the ball. Nineteen turnovers gave the 76ers 28 points. Fittingly, the Nets turned the ball over on their second-to-last possession, giving the 76ers their final basket. It was a lackluster finish to a 76ers (3-12) that entered with the NBA’s worst record and was down Joel Embiid (injury management) and Paul George (left knee bone bruise). Maxey’s steal and dunk with 2:27 left gave the 76ers a 11-point lead and all coach Jordi Fernandez could do was call timeout and stare up at the crowd with his hands on his hips. He couldn’t do much because he couldn’t play defense on the court. Maxey and McCain combined for 23 fourth-quarter points to outdoes Johnson’s 18-point quarter. McCain, the 76ers’ first-round pick, finished with 30 points. Maxey added 26 points. The Nets trailed 51-38 in the second quarter before ended the half on a 12-2 run to trail by three at halftime. It foreshadowed an even stronger start after the break. The Nets stormed to the lead with a 14-0 run as part of a larger 26-4 run since their 13-point deficit. Cam Thomas found his rhythm after a quiet first half with 10 points in the third. Yet the Nets couldn’t maintain it. They led 70-62 before giving up a 15-2 run of their own. Maxey gave the 76ers a 74-73 lead with a three-point play then McCain found Reggie Jackson for a three to cap the run. McCain got hot in the fourth to keep up with Johnson. He made a layup to give the 76ers a 91-90 lead then drained a three-pointer to push the advantage to four. It was part of a 9-0 76ers run that left the Nets behind for good. The poor start to this four-game road trip was also their sixth loss in eight games. Thomas had 18 points for the Nets, who shot 49.4% from the field Evan Barnes covers the Nets for Newsday.

A.The cryptocurrency industry has always been a mystery and interesting to investors as the potential for returns is valued at higher levels. The news is very much in favor of Ripple’s XRP and Rexas Finance’s token, RXS, as they both show the potential for explosive growth. Significant movements are expected by the end of the year because XRP has once again gained strength, and RXS is another revolutionary utility coin set to change the market dynamics. Ripple (XRP): Why XRP’s Price Is Going to $3 Soon XRP, with its price of $1.10, is drawing a lot of investor attention. It finally has a chart showing definable progress after meaningless litigation and thumb-twiddling in the market. There is an infusion of optimism around XRP due to several reasons, such as Ripple winning a host of lawsuits and the market taking a corrective move. Predictions now suggest the $3 figure for XRP may be reached by the end of 2024. Factors likely to drive this revised target include the prospect of Ripple launching an ETF, the adoption of Ripple’s On-Demand Liquidity (ODL) solution by enterprises, and the persistent need for reliable international payment systems. As Ripple continues pursuing partnerships with native banks, its position within the blockchain payment ecosystem is steadily solidifying. XRP is gaining momentum, likely driven by current and potential higher demand for the coin. Crossing the $1.25 mark could potentially set off a competitive wave of increased trading for the token, pushing its value to around $3. Rexas Finance (RXS): The Coin Selling for $0.09 but Hopes to Hit $12 Within 2 Months Rexas Finance (RXS) is a utility token based on Ethereum, sought after by many due to its brilliant model and ambitious goals. Priced at $0.09, RXS has raised over $10 million and sold about 179 million of its 200 million coins. With a price of $0.20 at launch, it’s not unthinkable for RXS to potentially reach $12 within 66 days of launch. A distinguishing feature of RXS is its active pursuit of the foreign market, focusing on the tokenization of real-world objects such as real estate, precious assets, and intellectual property. This unique technology allows a wide range of investors to hold fractional ownership in high-cost assets. Its utility is further enhanced by asset tokenization tools such as the Rexas Token Builder and the Rexas Launchpad, which promote new blockchains. Rexas Finance also combines DeFi innovations such as GenAI, which uses artificial intelligence to create NFTs and a decentralized treasury that provides yield-maximizing solutions. The multi-functional ecosystem appeals to various types of investors and presents an optimistic outlook for the Rexas Finance is safe for investors and clients, as its smart contracts have passed a CertiK audit. The project is also verified on CoinMarketCap and CoinGecko, providing credentials and visibility in the market. This is not just a project with innovative ideas; Rexas Finance also focuses on building a strong community. They have conducted a $1 million giveaway, where 20 RXS token winners received $50,000 worth each. Such campaigns capture the attention of their community and early backers, improving usage. Owning an RXS token is easy, as it follows Ethereum’s ERC-20 model. Investors can trade this token with ETH, USDT, or a credit card through its intuitive interface. The ease of access has made this token increasingly popular, becoming a preference for both retail and institutional traders. Conclusion: A Story of Two Investment Opportunities For crypto investors, Rexas Finance (RXS) and Ripple XRP are two distinct investment opportunities. As XRP rises back into the spotlight for being a blockchain payment service, it is on strong footing to post immense growth in the near future. On the other hand, RXS introduces uses and innovations that are unparalleled, as it revolutionizes the tokenization of real estate. XRP and RXS offer an interesting proposition for investors looking to take advantage of current market conditions. XRP is setting its sights on $3, while RXS aims for $12. Both tokens are preparing to provide huge returns in this fast-changing market.

History is made in BBC One’s latest Death in Paradise Christmas special, as Don Gilet becomes the first Black actor to play the lead role of a British police detective parachuted into the sleepy (and entirely fictional) Caribbean island of Saint Marie. But as he dons the droopy green sun hat of DI Mervin Wilson, he has his work cut out in a fun, feature-length instalment that tries to pull off several demanding tasks simultaneously. Firstly, the episode must introduce DI Wilson as a fully rounded replacement for the departed Neville Parker (Ralf Little). Secondly, it has to serve up a distinctive dollop of Christmas cheer on a weekend when the primetime schedules heave under a dead weight of tinsel and season’s greetings. Oh, and it has to deliver a satisfying murder mystery with the inevitable loose ends tied up by the closing credits. That’s a tall order – too tall perhaps. There are moments when this Christmas one-off threatens to lose its footing and tumble head over heels like Santa slipping on a dodgy roof tile. The good news is that Gilet is a great addition to the series. His phlegmatic, crotchety persona harks back to the OG Death in Paradise policeman abroad, Richard Poole (the harrumphing Ben Miller). Poole was forever grumbling about life on a glorious tropical island. DI Wilson has some of that same Columbo-esque energy, complaining early on that visiting Saint Marie is “like stepping back in time”. But there’s deep sadness under that glum exterior, and it is revealed that he came to the island hoping to connect with his mother, whom he had never known. He also seems not to have any friends back in London – revealing to DS Naomi Thomas (Shantol Jackson) that he always volunteered to work at Christmas because he didn’t have much else on. The episode also brims with yuletide conviviality. As it was no doubt filmed months ago, in sunny Guadeloupe, conjuring the season’s charm must have been a challenge. But it pulls it off, with a heart-warming subplot in which Danny John-Jules’s officer Dwayne Myers pulls out all the stops to spend 25 December with his ageing dad Nelson (Ram John Holder), who he suspects may not have too many more Christmases left in him. Dwayne follows this up by announcing he is stepping down as a policeman so that he can have more quality time with his father (it is Jules’s second exit from Death in Paradise after he previously took time away in 2022). Where the instalment falls down is in its manically convoluted murder plot. You know that internet meme from It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia , in which a wild-eyed Charlie Day stands in front of a cork-board map criss-crossed with red lines? That is what this Death in Paradise storyline feels like, as the holidaying Wilson is asked to delay his return to London to help the local police investigate the double killing of two men, both dressed as Santa. The two have seemingly been killed with the same gun – at the same time. Oh, and there is another near-victim, again done up as Father Christmas and pinged with a bullet at the very moment his fellow Santas were shot dead. Untangling the mystery is a tremendously fiddly undertaking, and I’m still not sure I entirely understand it all. I won’t spoil it here – suffice to say it’s a bonkers combination of Agatha Christie’s Murder on the Orient Express and Oliver Stone’s JFK , with several potential culprits and enough deep-fried red herrings to stock a chipper on Christmas Eve. It’s all quite baffling, and not even DI Wilson appears to fully understand it as he breaks down the details of the murder. But then, the crimes – and the idea they need to make any sense at all – have always taken a back seat on Death in Paradise . Far more important is the fact that the new DI strikes up an instant connection with the support crew of DS Thomas and police chief Commissioner Selwyn Patterson (Don Warrington). The chemistry is great, the sunshine a balm at this time of year – and the Christmas spirit appropriately festive. You could go down a tropical rabbit hole trying to unravel the complicated plot. But bah humbug to that. What is really important is that Death in Paradise has a compelling new lead detective. To grumble about the twisting, turning story would be to indulge in criminal levels of nitpicking.

Ultimately, faced with the prospect of being exposed and held accountable for his actions, the man made a bold decision to resign from his job and set out on a new path as a self-appointed gang leader. Embracing a life of crime, he sought to establish himself as a formidable figure in the underground world, driven by a misguided belief that he could command respect and fear through illicit means.

(AP) — Down by two shots with two holes to play, Jeeno Thitikul knew exactly what was needed to capture the biggest prize in women's golf history. And another eagle-birdie finish — for the second straight day — made it happen. Thitikul claimed the record-setting $4 million first-place check by winning the CME Group Tour Championship on Sunday. It's the biggest money prize in women’s golf history, bigger than even the winner’s shares in three of the four men’s major championships this year. “Today, standing here with the trophy, it's more than I can ask for,” Thitikul said. Thitikul shot a 7-under 65 on Sunday and finished the week at 22 under, one shot ahead of Angel Yin (66). Yin had a two-shot lead walking to the 17th tee, only to wind up settling for the $1 million runner-up check. Yin — who missed the start of the season after breaking her leg over the winter — hardly sounded defeated after finishing second and more than doubling her 2024 earnings in four days. “I’m pretty awesome. ... I’ve learned that I just need to believe my myself and that’s what I did," Yin said. The win and the massive check came down to the 18th hole, Thitikul and Yin tied at 21 under after a back-and-forth day atop the leaderboard — both knowing a mistake would likely come at a $3 million cost. Both hit the fairway on 18. Thitikul’s approach was nearly perfect, stopping about 5 feet from the cup. Yin’s response stopped maybe 15 feet away, giving Thitikul the edge as they walked up the fairway. She was smiling broadly as she approached the green, almost as if she knew what was about to happen. Yin’s birdie putt just missed. Thitikul’s was dead center. And history was hers. Her plans for all that cash? “Definitely spend it,” Thitikul said. “That’s an honest answer, for sure. Definitely going to spend it for a little while.” She already had clinched a $1 million bonus this week through the Aon Risk-Reward Challenge, a competition based on how players score on a designated hole each week. In the end, it wound up as a whopping $5 million week for the 21-year-old from Thailand — and going 8 under on the Nos. 17 and 18 over the four days at Tiburon Golf Club made the difference. “All the hard work paid off,” said Thitikul, whose eagle-birdie close to Saturday's round pulled her into a tie for the lead with Yin going into Sunday at 15 under. It didn’t take long on Sunday for Thitikul to jump in front, with birdies on two of the first three holes to grab a two-shot edge. Her lead vanished with a two-shot swing on the par-4 fourth; Yin made birdie, Thitikul bogey. It seemed like Yin grabbed control on the par-3 16th. Her birdie putt from across the green — about 25 feet — rolled in for a two-shot lead with two holes to play. But her second shot at the par-5 17th missed the green right, and the door was opened for Thitikul. The eagle-birdie finish Saturday gave her hope. The eagle-birdie finish Sunday gave her so much more — even though, it turns out, the second shot on the par 5 wasn't one that she caught flush. It worked out anyway. “Just lucky enough,” Thitikul said. Olympic gold medalist Lydia Ko (63) finished third at 17 under, her nine birdies coming in a 13-hole span. “I’m excited to be able to work hard this offseason and have another great 2025,” Ko said. Ruoning Yin (68) was alone in fourth at 16 under, and LPGA player of the year Nelly Korda (66) finished at 15 under along with Narin An (68). Ayaka Furue finished at 13 under, good enough to give her the Vare Trophy as the LPGA’s season-long scoring champion over Haeran Ryu. “I feel very happy to have this trophy in my hands,” said Furue, the first Japanese player to win the Vare. Lexi Thompson — a 15-time winner as a pro who plans to step away from full-time golf — finished at 2 under. It’s not clear how often Thompson plans to play in 2025 and beyond; that said, she returns to Tiburon the week of Dec. 9 for the Grant Thornton Invitational, where she’ll team with Rickie Fowler in the event featuring PGA Tour and LPGA Tour players. “I’m not going anywhere, guys.” Thompson said. “I’ll be back in two weeks.” There were two players who said they were retiring after Sunday’s round: Marina Alex, who shot 66 to finish at 12 under, and Ally Ewing, who closed with a 68 to wrap up the week at 11 under. “I’m happy to have ended on my best,” said Alex, a bottle of sparkling wine in her right hand, a bouquet of flowers in the other. Added Ewing: “I’ve been at peace with my decision. It’s just so nice to be able to share the walk with my family this week.” But in the end, the week belonged to Thitikul. And as the sun was setting over Tiburon on Sunday, she was ready for her offseason to begin with a well-deserved celebration. “Anybody hungry?” she asked. “I am.” With Sunday's check in her pocket, she can dine anywhere she wants for a while.
