Warriors’ Klay Thompson, Andrew Wiggins soar in narrow win over Portland Trail Blazers

Published Fri, 27 Dec 2024 08:23:26 GMT

PORTLAND — An off shooting night for Steph Curry did not spell disaster for the Golden State Warriors, who barely escaped Portland with a 118-114 win over the Trail Blazers on Sunday night when two struggling Warriors stepped up to fill the scoring void.Klay Thompson’s 28-point night shooting 11-for-16 from the field and 5-of-10 from 3 fueled a strong first half for the Warriors in which they led by as many as 22 and by 16 by halftime. But as plenty of Warriors games have gone, that lead dissipated in a tumultuous third quarter in which Portland tied the game.Off the bench for a third game in a row after starting every regular season game in his career previously, Andrew Wiggins came out with some vengeance. Wiggins was a nuisance on defense and scored 25 points shooting 9-of-12 from the field with four 3-pointers.Trayce Jackson-Davis got extended run off the bench and challenged Portland big Deandre Ayton under the basket on both ends. He 14 points, including a few high...

Chilean voters reject conservative constitution, after defeating leftist charter last year

Published Fri, 27 Dec 2024 08:23:26 GMT

SANTIAGO, Chile (AP) — Voters rejected on Sunday a proposed conservative constitution to replace Chile’s dictatorship-era charter, showing both the deep division in the South American country and the inability of political sectors to address people’s demands for change made four years ago.With nearly all votes counted late Sunday, about 55.8% had voted “no” to the new charter, with about 44.2% in favor.The vote came more than a year after Chileans resoundingly rejected a proposed constitution written by a left-leaning convention and one that many characterized as one of the world’s most progressive charters.The new document, largely written by conservative councilors, was more conservative than the one it had sought to replace, because it would have deepened free-market principles, reduced state intervention and might have limited some women’s rights. The process to write a new constitution began after 2019 street protests, when thousands of people complained about inequality ...
