Based on that reputation, it makes sense for Spike Lee to produce a documentary on the Knicks’ new offense, which was ushered in when general manager Phil Jackson took over the reins. Spike Lee was commissioned to explain the offense in an MSG Network documentary entitled, “What is the Triangle Offense? A Spike Lee Orange and Blue Skies Joint.” MORE: Jackson thinks Knicks are playoff team | After KD injury, OKC reserves must step up | Coach contracts...

The 64-year-old Democrat managed to do what no other member of his party has done in his state since Brendan Byrne was reelected in 1977. The last two sitting Democratic governors, Jim Florio and Jon Corzine, lost to Republicans when seeking another term. However, Murphy just barely managed the victory, with the vote count remaining too close to call until 6:30 p.m. Eastern Time on Wednesday when the Associated Press called the election....

Rivers, who was voted team MVP on Monday, told the San Diego Union-Tribune that a procedure to fix his ailing back may be necessary. Rivers declined to cite a specific injury, but said reports of a bulging disk weren’t completely accurate. “It just does me no good to say on the record what it was,” said Rivers, who has started 144 consecutive games. “I was dealing with sore ribs. I was dealing with the back....

The Filipino justice department is now investigating the criminal complaint against 36 individuals, Reuters reported, including Duterte’s rivals in the Senate and the Catholic Church, who are accused of conspiring with a fake whistleblower to lie about the president. At the center of the anonymous videos is a hooded man known as “Bikoy” who says he worked for a drugs gang connected to Duterte’s family. A man has since come forward to police claiming to be Bikoy and alleging that Duterte’s opponents orchestrated the whole thing....

At first blush, Marlon Byrd's two-year, $16 million contract with the Phillies (the deal also includes an option for a third year) is a stunner. An eight-figure deal for a 36-year-old outfielder, from a National League team that can't use him as a designated hitter, after he hit a seemingly flukish career-high 24 home runs in 2013? Yes, it could very easily turn into a disaster, but for $8 million a year over two years, it's not nearly as big a risk as it may appear....

And that big, huge, massive deal brings up one important question: Good move, but what’s next? This is a Phillies team that’s won a lot of headlines over the past calendar year or so — hi Bryce, Cutch, J.T., Jean and David! — but hasn’t won nearly enough games (they haven’t finished over .500 since 2011) and is still, by most any objective measure, the third-best team in the NL East, behind the reigning World Series champion Nationals and reigning division champion Braves....

Causes Phimosis can be caused by the failure of foreskin to loosen during growth, infections such as balanitis, deformities caused by trauma, and diseases of the genitals. Symptoms Phimosis is usually a painless condition. Infection may result from an inability to carry out effective cleaning of the area, in which case swelling, redness, and discharge may all be present, making the area tender and painful. A very tight foreskin can cause problems during intercourse and urination....

Oregon State Police (OSP) described the incident in a Facebook post that generated thousands of likes and many positive comments on the social media site. The post said OSP Fish and Wildlife Senior Trooper David Rzewnicki was called to an address in the Knappa area, north of Portland, to reports of a deer that had fallen into a ditch. However, on arrival it emerged that the deer in question was in fact a young elk that had become trapped in a ditch dug by the landowner to house underground wires....

As reported by KYMA News 11, part of US Highway 191 was shut down after police were notified of a bear sighting. According to the TV station, one officer described the scene: “[The bear] was up on one pole, then came down and went up a second one nearby.” The Arizona Game & Fish Department (AZGFD) in Tucson posted images of the bear on Twitter. The pictures show the seemingly-relaxed creature sitting on power lines, oblivious to the ground-level commotion it has caused....

Protesters clashed with riot police who used teargas in an effort to disperse crowds as businesses in downtown Minneapolis were burned and vandalized. The violence erupted two days after a video showing former Minneapolis Police Officer Derek Chauvin kneeling on Floyd’s neck during an arrest that resulted in the latter’s death—and hours after Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey called for Hennepin County Attorney Mike Freeman to file criminal charges against Chauvin....

Physical therapy is a proven treatment for low back pain. People with back pain or sciatica may benefit from PT to help improve posture, learn the correct exercises to perform, and learn what NOT to do during episodes of pain. But what about if you are pregnant? Is physical therapy effective for pregnant women who are experiencing low back pain? Which treatments or modalities are considered safe to use during pregnancy to treat your back pain?...

First of all, those psychiatrists who self-righteously proclaim to be shocked by the portrayal of a romantic relationship between a therapist and a patient either don’t read the newspapers or are living in their own bubble of denial. They also didn’t pay much attention to the movie, since Nick Nolte’s character, Tom Wingo, was not Lowenstein’s patient. His sister was her patient. He did not solicit her help; she sought his-so she did not violate his trust....

In other instances, conjunctivitis can result from an allergy or chemical irritation caused by makeup, chlorine in pools, or even air pollution....

Xavi: Madrid star Kroos is like me The Spain international has caused controversy this season with comments about the performances of officials in Spain’s top flight.

While Taillon may never measure up to Bryce Harper’s standards — few will — the right-hander will finally get the chance to realize his big-league dream this week. The Pirates announced Tuesday that Taillon will start Wednesday night against the Mets, finally making his major-league debut on the heels of two seasons wiped out by an elbow injury. “Used to practice my autograph all day in middle school, and I would dream of making the call to my family and friends,” Taillon tweeted Tuesday afternoon, adding: “Crazy to think of how many people worked so hard with me and helped me on this journey!...
