'Uh that's cuz of my boy right here. He be, uh now Dante does a great job of coming and telling me like what they doing out there defensively because sometimes I don't really recognize it, and when he gets in the game, he uh he makes it easier for me for sure cuz he tells me like ASAC they they overplay you can back door right now. So just being able to read the game and then having teammates that looks out for you. I think that's the main that's the best thing about it.'

Reporters highlighted the role of the 'five man unit' closing the game for the team during the presser, asking what kept them going. To which Donte responded:
'Um just being connected. I think that unit is, you know, on the offensive end um you know, you can throw it to anybody and anybody can kind of get downhill, make plays for one another. Um, and when that is, you know, the situation, Ants up top doing his thing, they have to respect everybody on the line. Um, and he's making the right play over and over and over again. So, um, then you go on the defensive end and we can just switch and we can just be physical and and be ourselves. And, um, at that point, it's winning time. And, you know, that's the only thing you're trying to do is win the game.

'Um yeah, I mean throughout the year he's had, you know, this whole year has been ups and downs for all of us individually and collectively as a team. So um I think the the biggest thing that I've seen is, you know, during quote unquote, you know, down times throughout the year
of, you know, not necessarily making the right play, he's learned from it and come back and he's had, you know, his highs are extremely high.'

'Um, so throughout the entire season, weathering the storms of up and downs and different guys in lineups and and trying to figure out and get guys comfortable, um, when it comes winning time, dude knows how to win. Um, and that's flat out what it comes down to.
He understands watching film what they're going to do. Um, and no one's out here trying to get numbers.
No one's out here trying to prove a point. We're just trying to win a game. So when he's watching, you know, film and making quick decisions and and and being himself, you can just see a different level of him being locked in.'
Turning to Edwards, Donte asked about his age to highlight his genius and the team play approach, and continued:
'Um and him being what you 23, sir. Young as hell. So being 23 and being able to do that is really special. Um and being able to, you know, listen to everybody. Um he doesn't have to do that. Um which he's willing to do to every single person on the team. And it just allows us to, you know, be connected and be on another level.'
Anthony Edwards' records in the game were magical with 43 points, nine rebounds, and six assists. His clutch free throws in the final seconds secured the team a thrilling win over the Lakers. The Timberwolves are leading the series 3-1.

WTC Final: Sarfaraz Khan visits Lord's with father Naushad, watches Australia vs South Africa
Sarfaraz Khan visits Lord's with father Naushad (Screengrab) NEW DELHI: Young Indian batter Sarfaraz Khan made a special visit to Lord's on Thursday alongside his father and long-time coach, Naushad Khan , as the second day of the World Test Championship (WTC) Final between Australia and South Africa unfolded in dramatic fashion. Sarfaraz, who shared glimpses of the visit via his Instagram stories, was seen soaking in the atmosphere at the iconic venue, one where he no doubt dreams of making his mark someday. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! It was a father-son cricket pilgrimage of sorts, with Naushad having famously mentored Sarfaraz and his younger brother Musheer from Mumbai's maidans to international reckoning. On the field, Australia seized control of the WTC Final, largely thanks to a masterclass in fast bowling from skipper Pat Cummins . Cummins delivered a sensational spell of 6-28, claiming his 300th Test wicket and dismantling South Africa for just 138. He took four wickets for just one run in a post-lunch burst that shredded the Proteas' lower order. South Africa had resumed at 43/4 and managed a brief recovery through a 64-run stand between Temba Bavuma (36) and David Bedingham (45), but collapsed shortly after. Kagiso Rabada had earlier starred with the ball for South Africa, taking 5-51, and he returned in the second innings to remove both Usman Khawaja and Cameron Green in the same over. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch CFD với công nghệ và tốc độ tốt hơn IC Markets Đăng ký Undo 'Nitish Kumar is a guy who can bowl that magic ball': India bowling coach Morne Morkel At tea, Australia were 32-2, holding a 106-run lead with Marnus Labuschagne and Steve Smith at the crease.

Surviving Ohio State OTT Release Date: When and where to watch HBO's sexual abuse scandal documentary in India
Surviving Ohio State OTT Release Date: Directed by award-winning Australian filmmaker Eva Orner, who also won an Oscar for her work exposing abuse, the 108-minute feature peels back nearly two decades of horrific wrongdoing at Ohio State University between 1978 and 1998. Surviving Ohio State lands in India on JioHotstar on June 18, just a day after its U.S. debut on HBO and Max on June 17. More about Surviving Ohio State Surviving Ohio State's backbone is the investigative work of journalist Jon Wertheim, whose October 2020 Sports Illustrated piece laid bare 'Why Aren't More People Talking About the Ohio State Sex Abuse Scandal?'. That story exploded into public consciousness, and it's the jump‑off point for Orner's relentless search to understand how so many powerful people looked the other way. On screen, real survivors, largely male athletes, many former standouts in wrestling, share chilling memories: locker-room exams, secretive deflections, silence from coaches and administrators who 'just dealt with it.' We hear from men like Mark Coleman (later a UFC heavyweight champion), the DiSabato brothers, Will Knight, Al Novakowski, Rocky Ratliff, Dan Ritchie, Mike Schyck, Stephen Snyder‑Hill, and even a wrestling referee, Frederick Feeney. Their voices carry incredible weight because, as one survivor reflects on-screen: 'You walk into a room, and Doc tells you to turn the lights off... Who you gonna tell?'. Behind the scenes, Orner approached Surviving Ohio State with sensitivity: she spent months building trust, speaking with about 100 survivors before a core group felt ready to go public. She even screened the finished cut privately with them, complete with mental health support, to make sure they're seen with dignity, not sensationalised. The crew is also stacked: George Clooney, Grant Heslov, and David Glasser joined as producers for Smokehouse Pictures/HBO Sports, with cinematographer Nick Higgins and editor Charles Olivier shaping the story's flow; composer Cornel Wilczek provides the music.
