“One of them we weren’t up the way we should have been on a switch and he got a free one”, Popovich said.
Two Arrested In Latest Counter-Terror Raids In Western Sydney
A police source told the ABC that the Merrylands home of Salihy raided this morning was also raided earlier this month. Police say their investigation disrupted the terror plot.
Having both those players healthy for the rematch did little to help Cleveland.
Turkish forces and PKK engage in intense clashes
The three-decade conflict between Turkish security forces and the PKK rebels have claimed the lives of more than 30,000 people. Turkey and Russia have been at odds since Ankara downed a Russian jet last month saying it violated its airspace.

“We want what they have, and we’re not going to stop until we get it”, Irving said.
The Warriors’ Draymond Green celebrates after making a shot in the first half of Friday’s Christmas Day game against the Cavaliers. They barely won the game but at the same time cemented their ownership of the Cleveland Cavaliers. And his shooting line looked downright accurate next to LeBron James’s (10-for-26), Irving’s (4-for-15), Matthew Dellavedova’s (4-for-11), Iman Shumpert’s (0-for-6) and Timofey Mozgov’s (0-for-5).
As evidenced by its resumé, Golden State is perhaps the best basketball team on the planet when it comes to dictating an uptempo, favorable pace, and it once again imposed its style of basketball down the final stretch. Shaun Livingston had 16 points, Iguodala chipped in with 7, and Klay added another 18.
Leandro Barbosa also suffered a left shoulder sprain in the quarter and did not return. “The next one, he was deep and (Duncan) was all over him and he made a great shot”. Love and Irving combined to miss all 11 attempts.
“About 14,000 kilometers. Adelaide, Austraila”, said one fan. Curry, averaging 31 points per game, had just 19 in the win.
No one has had a bigger impact on basketball in 2015, and I can’t come up with another athlete in any sport who has had a year like Curry’s. I can’t even do it. “I’ll hopefully be able to get back to 100 percent”.
The Rockets were impressed with the play of Terry on Friday night.
Warriors: Host Sacramento on Monday.
So far this season, though, Love has been on track to make history.
But then James, with a chance to cut the gap to two, missed a pair of free throws with 1:33 left, after which Curry’s hoops slammed the door on the visitors.
Harden finished with 20 points, while Kawhi Leonard had the same tally for the Spurs.
Jimmy Butler scored 23 points, and Pau Gasol had 21 points and 13 rebounds for the Bulls, who had lost their previous three.
Davis was stellar in his Christmas debut, leading the Pelicans with 29 points, 15 rebounds, four assists and four steals. The Rockets have won 18 straight games when holding an opponent to less than 90 points…. Oklahoma City changed things up and played Anthony Morrow and Enes Kanter with Durant, Westbrook and Serge Ibaka for most of the fourth quarter.
Cleveland shot 32 percent.

Miami’s Chris Bosh had 30 points and 10 rebounds to lead the Heat to a 94-88 overtime win against New Orleans. Both teams, moreover, have achieved marvelous success in the National Basketball Association the last two seasons. His argument is that kids are eschewing other parts of the game to practice shooting threes when it’s not realistic to expect to become as good of a shooter as Curry.
