For the first six minutes on Tuesday night, the Celtics were playing at their worst.They were lazy on offense. Jaylen Brown committed three turnovers in the opening minutes. Their defense – which was so good in Game 1 – was an open door. The Celtics were expecting a strong Hawks response and they got it.But when Joe Mazzulla turned to his bench, everything changed. The deepest team in the NBA showed itself again, even if Mazzulla has only gone eight deep to start the playoffs. Robert Williams, then Malcolm Brogdon entered the game and the Celtics went off and running. After falling behind early, the Celtics ripped off a huge first-half run and never looked back as they took complete control of their first-round series with a 119-106 Game 2 victory.Jayson Tatum scored 29 points – including five 3-pointers – and some big buckets down the stretch as the Celtics held off several rallies from Dejounte Murray and the Hawks. It was his supporting cast that spurred the C’s to a commanding 2...With no deal with feds in hand, union says federal workers will strike

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — North Korean leader Kim Jong Un said his country has completed the development of its first military spy satellite and ordered officials to go ahead with its launch as planned, state media reported Wednesday. During his visit to the North’s aerospace agency Tuesday, Kim stressed it’s crucial to acquire a space-based surveillance system in the face of what he called U.S.-led security threats, the Korean Central News Agency said. North Korea says its spate of weapons tests, including its first test-launch of a solid-fueled intercontinental ballistic missile designed to strike the U.S. mainland last week, are a response to joint military exercises between the United States and its regional allies South Korea and Japan. At the National Aerospace Development Administration, Kim said military reconnaissance was crucial for North Korea to effectively use its methods of war deterrence, according to KCNA.Kim said “the military reconnaissance satellite No. 1” had bee...7-Eleven bringing back 'Bring Your Own Cup Day'

Former President Trump is railing against Twitter CEO Elon Musk for telling Fox News's Tucker Carlson that he voted for President Biden in 2020. Trump said in a post on Truth Social on Tuesday that he does not believe “for a minute” that Musk voted for Biden in 2020, alleging that Musk told him he voted for him. “Elon is just trying to make friends with the absolutely horrible Biden Administration because of all the government subsidies he gets, and all the permits he needs,” Trump said. SpaceX and Tesla, both of which Musk leads, have reportedly received millions of dollars in federal subsidies. “I didn’t vote for Donald Trump. I actually voted for Biden. Not saying I’m a huge fan of Biden because I would think that probably would be inaccurate,” Musk told Carlson in a Fox News interview that partially aired on Monday. Musk said presidential elections pose a “difficult” decision and he would prefer a candidate who is a “normal person with common sense and whose value...Latest news
