Captain Dustin Brown had a goal and an assist, and Tyler Toffoli scored on his 22nd birthday during a three-goal second period as the Kings dodged a series sweep with a one-sided win that could plant a seed of doubt in their dominant California rivals' minds.

Alley, a longtime Trump supporter, took to the platform on Saturday night to tell her followers that she will vote for the president again in 2020 because “he’s NOT a politician.” “I’m voting for @realDonaldTrump because he’s NOT a politician. I voted for him 4 years ago for this reason and shall vote for him again for this reason,” the 69-year-old actress, best known for her role in Cheers and the Look Who’s Talking film series, tweeted Saturday night....

Implants now offer many patients with damaged or missing teeth a more stable, comfortable and enduring alternative to dentures. In the first phase of treatment, a surgeon opens the gums, drills into the jawbone and implants a small piece of titanium (chart). The bone in the jaw attaches to the implant and forms a stable foundation for replacement teeth. Next, the gums are sewn up and the patient receives a temporary tooth or removable denture to wear during a three-to six-month healing period....

The adorable footage was shared to Reddit by an account called Lydiarae77 and shows the toddler holding the small tabby cat, who is now her “best friend” in her arms as she squeezes the animal tight.

Meet Luna…we didn’t need another cat but she needed us and now we are in love!...

Champagne soaked and full of true joy, the Warriors sharpshooter had a memorable press conference after Golden State won their fourth title in eight years by defeating the Boston Celtics 103-90 in Game 6 on Thursday. Thompson was in rare form, wearing an omnipresent smile while he fondly talked about the journey it took for the Warriors to win another championship.

The 24-year-old, due to be sidelined for between seven to nine months, suffered cartilage damage in his right knee while making a tackle late on in the League Cup victory over Tottenham at Anfield in October. It was the first time in over a year that he was able to run out for the first team on Merseyside having sustained a partial anterior cruciate ligament rupture in his left knee last October....

Pep Guardiola’s City have surged 11 points clear atop the table, winning 16 of their 17 games while scoring 52 goals. Klopp feels there is no longer a title fight – not even for second-placed United – with City so far clear at the top. “This season nobody is really fighting any more for the title. I don’t think United are,” the German told UK newspapers ahead of his team’s trip to Bournemouth on Sunday....

Klopp has the likes of Philippe Coutinho, Sadio Mane, Roberto Firmino and Mohamed Salah at his disposal, but wastefulness – as well as poor defending – has cost Liverpool at different times early in the season. Salah 9/2 FGS with dabblebet While Manchester United (Romelu Lukaku), Chelsea (Alvaro Morata) and Arsenal (Alexandre Lacazette) strengthened with first-choice forwards in the off-season, Liverpool brought in 20-year-old Dominic Solanke. But Klopp insisted there was enough firepower at Liverpool, who visit Newcastle United in the Premier League on Sunday....

The Reds bowed out of the FA Cup at the fourth-round stage to Championship opposition, with Anfield proving to be something of an unhappy hunting ground for Klopp’s charges of late. Reds limp out of FA Cup Liverpool have now lost three successive fixtures in front of their own supporters, with Swansea City and Southampton having left Merseyside with the spoils in recent weeks. The Swans secured a thrilling 3-2 victory in the Premier League, while the Saints dumped Liverpool out of the EFL Cup in a two-legged semi-final....

There are a few injection options available to help relieve knee pain, including corticosteroids, hyaluronic acid (viscosupplementation), platelet-rich plasma (PRP), dextrose prolotherapy, and saline prolotherapy. Different injections are used depending on the type of knee pain, the cause, and factors such as age and other medications you might also be taking. While knee injections are generally safe and the risk of complication low, there are some potential side effects you may experience after an injection....

All the advantages of last offseason are gone. The Knicks need to add more quality players without the benefit of a draft pick or a ton of cap space. Their possibilities are also dependent on what Arron Afflalo and Derrick Williams decide on their player options.

Shumpert averaged 6.8 points and 3.0 rebounds in 45 games, all starts, last season after returning from torn knee ligaments. MORE: Knicks preview | Shumpert high top fade era comes to a sad end Shumpert was the No. 17 pick in the 2011 draft and was a first-team, All-Rookie selection. He will earn about $2.6 million in the 2014-15 season. The Knicks announced the move on Monday.

But victorious trustbuster Joel Klein likes that word, too. “I’m confident that the remedy will be upheld,” he says. “And I’m confident that it’s the right remedy.” Someone’s confidence is obviously misplaced here. But only Klein can afford to be wrong. If an appellate court tosses out the breakup remedy (good chance) or even overturns the whole thing (less likely but not impossible), he’ll always have his memories of Judge Jackson adopting his every suggestion at the expense of those hapless geeks from the other Washington....

The Spurs trace their roots to Dallas, where they were born as an American Basketball Association charter member on February 2, 1967. The Dallas Chaparrals finished second in the league’s Western Division that year, and they did so in plain vanilla-looking uniforms featuring blocky “Dallas” letterforms.

It was 10 years ago this month that tests for mutations in two breast-cancer genes, BRCA1 and BRCA2, hit the market. Early on, many doctors worried that the tests would do more harm than good–patients might lose their insurance, maybe even their jobs, if the results came back positive. And they’d be emotionally devastated by the news. “There was a real concern that people might commit suicide,” says Dr. Kenneth Offit, of New York’s Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center....

Brad Turner of the L.A. Times provided a schedule of the center’s week and the teams he’ll be meeting. On Wednesday, he’ll meet with the Mavs, Lakers and Knicks.

So, when Bryant was asked about the NBA TV deal, which is worth $24 billion over nine years, he was honest, per usual. Bryant said, sure, players “are overpaid, but so are the owners.
