Timberwolves’ offense has rhythm and movement. That needs to continue with the team’s stars

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:40:56 GMT

Minnesota went on a 19-4 run in the fourth frame Wednesday that put the Timberwolves in a position to hold off Atlanta late for a much-needed home victory. At the center of the run was a stout defense that made life uncomfortable for the Hawks and sparked a couple of transition opportunities.But not to be dismissed was an offense that routinely generated good looks. It did so through spacing, ball movement and decision-making. It helped the big-ball lineup of Kyle Anderson, Taurean Prince, Jaden McDaniels, Naz Reid and Rudy Gobert that the Wolves had a clear objective: Attack Hawks point guard Trae Young. But it required execution.https://www.twincities.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Untitled-video-Made-with-Clipchamp-3.mp4For instance, when Prince was standing in the corner with Young on him, the wing found an opportunity to dart to the top of the floor. The ball then found him, and he attacked Atlanta’s point guard off the bounce. Prince got into the lane, drew help and immediatel...

Hastings school nutrition workers end seven-week strike

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:40:56 GMT

Food service workers in the Hastings school district will return to work on Thursday, more than seven weeks after striking over a wage dispute.The school district and SEIU Local 284 reached a tentative agreement Thursday night, which was ratified by the union’s 35 mostly part-time employees. The school board is expected to approve the deal Wednesday, along with a return-to-work agreement that will bring employees back the next day.The union said the agreement is better than the district’s final offer from early February. It includes $800 bonuses and increased wages for all members, they said, while maintaining the district’s health insurance contribution rather than reducing it, as was done for other bargaining units.“While this agreement does not reflect what we feel we are worth, our struggle for recognition and respect took a big step forward because of our solidarity,” food service worker Sara Rapp said in a news release.The strike began Feb. 7.The district in a statement said, ...

When is it legal to drive in the left lane in Missouri & Illinois?

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:40:56 GMT

ST. LOUIS - Highway drivers deal with two situations on a daily basis: Passing a slower or driver or being passed by a faster driver. All 50 U.S. states have laws when it comes to one driver passing another, but most laws generally support the idea that the faster driver should use the left lane to pass the slower driver on a highway. Occasionally, you might notice that someone who passes you will hang out in the left lane for an extended period of time, even if there are no other vehicles in proximity to pass. You might know those kinds of drivers as "left-lane lollygaggers." Top Stories: St. Louis lauds female firefighters, but denies promotions It could make for an unsafe and frustrating situation when sharing the road, but as Nexstar affiliate KDVR tells us, there are some situations in which it's not quite right to drive in the right.
