In a remarkable feat, the Minnesota Timberwolves achieved what eluded all of Denver’s opponents in last year’s championship run: they beat the Nuggets in Denver twice. With a dominant 106-80 victory on Monday, the Timberwolves now hold a commanding 2-0 series lead.
nnnn
The win was fueled by a suffocating defense that limited Denver to its lowest-scoring game since September 1, 2020. Karl-Anthony Towns and Anthony Edwards led the offensive charge with a combined 54 points, while the entire team worked cohesively to stifle Denver defensively.

Despite the absence of Kia DPOY finalist Rudy Gobert, who missed the game for the birth of his child, the Timberwolves forced Denver into a staggering 16 turnovers, converting them into 19 points.
nnnn
“Rudy’s driven the defensive culture here,” Wolves coach Chris Finch said. “I think it’s a testament to his impact, his presence and what he’s infused into the team of how important defense is and how great it can be when we play it.”
nnnn
With the series shifting to Minnesota for the next two games, the Timberwolves are in a commanding position. Through two games, they have showcased their defensive prowess with 15 steals, 18 blocks, and 31 forced turnovers, while holding the Nuggets to just 40.5% shooting. As the series progresses, Minnesota looks poised to maintain their momentum and continue their quest for playoff success.
In a sensational Game 1 showdown, Jalen Brunson spearheaded the New York Knicks to a thrilling 121-117 win over the Indiana Pacers. Brunson’s remarkable performance saw him tally 43 points, with an astounding 21 points scored in the final 10.5 minutes, nearly single-handedly outscoring the Pacers down the stretch.

Brunson’s incredible feat places him in elite company. He joins basketball legends Jerry West, Michael Jordan, and Bernard King as the only players with four consecutive playoff games in which he scores 40 or more points. Notably, Brunson achieved this milestone while also dishing out 5 or more assists in each game, showcasing his versatility on the court.
nnnn
Assisting Brunson in the victory were his former college teammates Josh Hart and Donte DiVincenzo, collectively contributing 92 points to the Knicks’ tally. Hart played a crucial role in the game-ending surge, while DiVincenzo sealed the victory with a clutch 3-pointer.
nnnn
Despite strong performances from Pacers starters Myles Turner and Pascal Siakam, their bench dominated, outscoring the Knicks bench 46-3. Obi Toppin, T.J. McConnell, Isaiah Jackson, and Ben Sheppard combined for an impressive 46 points on efficient shooting, highlighting the depth of the Pacers’ roster.

After Kendrick Lamar took Drake’s timestamp records, The Boy returned the favor, snatching “The Heart” series for his latest track, “The Heart Pt. 6,” which addresses Kendrick Lamar.
nnnn
“The Heart Part 6 out now… And we know you’re dropping 6 mins after so instead of posting my address you have a lot to address,” Drake wrote on social media.
nnnn
The song is in response to “Not Like Us” and features a screenshot of an Instagram comment from Dave Free, likely shared to the page of Kendrick Lamar’s lover Whitney Alford. In the song, Drake drives home that she slept with Free and questions who really is the father of Lamar’s son.
nnnn
Additionall, Drake continues to state Kendrick Lamar has committed domestic violence and he planted the information used by Lamarr in his diss. Specifically, that he has an 11-year-old daughter.
nnnn
Drake also spent a large amount of the song shooting down allegations of being a pedophile:
nnnn
I never been with no one under age but now I understand why this the angle that you really mess with Just for clarity, I feel disgusted I’m too respected If I was fucking young girls, I promise I’d been done arrested I’m way too famous for this shit you just suggested, but that’s not the lesson, clearly there’s a deeper message
All you have to do is mention Sweet Chin Music, and WWE icon Shawn Michaels will be right around the corner. Kendrick Lamar mentioned the wrestling finishing move on “Not Like Us,” prompting Michaels to offer his services to the duo to settle the differences.
nnnn
“Put the wrong label on me, I’ma get ’em dropped/Sweet Chin Music and I won’t pass the aux,” Kendrick Lamar rapped.

“A little Sweet Chin Music goes a long way,” Michaels wrote. “@kendricklamar, you and @Drake are formally invited to #WWENXT to settle this thing. I’m even offering my services to mediate.”
The Met Gala, often dubbed as the fashion world’s most illustrious night, unfolded its grandeur on May 6th at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, dazzling spectators with a fusion of innovation, style, and creativity. This year’s theme, “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion,” delved into the realms of technological advancements to breathe new life into garments deemed too delicate or aged to be worn again. As celebrities graced the red carpet, they not only pushed the boundaries of fashion but also offered a riveting commentary on the theme, showcasing both hits and misses in the sartorial realm.
nnnn
nnnn
One of the standout looks of the evening was Zendaya’s ethereal ensemble, resonating with the theme effortlessly. Draped in an ocean-blue gown by Maison Margiela’s John Galliano, Zendaya evoked the serenity of the sea with cascading layers of tulle and fabric, complemented by a dramatic headpiece. Her interpretation of the theme was both captivating and refreshing, setting a high bar for the night.

Similarly, Alia Bhatt mesmerized onlookers in a mint green saree adorned with real gems, custom-designed by the renowned Sabyasachi. With a 23-foot-long train trailing behind her, Bhatt paid homage to the opulence and grandeur synonymous with the Met Gala, perfectly encapsulating the essence of the theme.

Nicki Minaj made a bold statement with an hourglass mini dress crafted from hand-painted golden silk duchess material, which was a masterpiece in itself. Adorned with 3-D metal flowers, each delicately hand-painted in bright hues. She completed her look with floral heels and jewels.
nnnn
nnnn
Natasha Poonawalla, known for her impeccable fashion choices, opted for a sculpted white bodycon dress with delicate black detailing, a custom ensemble from the Maison Margiela Artisanal Collection. Her look exuded elegance and sophistication, seamlessly aligning with the theme’s narrative.
nnnn
nnnn
However, amidst the sea of exemplary interpretations, there were a few misses. Doja Cat’s choice of a Vetements maxi-length wet T-shirt raised eyebrows, failing to resonate with the theme of reawakening fashion through technology. While undoubtedly bold, the ensemble seemed out of place amidst the gala’s futuristic ambiance.
nnnn
nnnn
Similarly, Kim Kardashian’s outfit, consisting of a pale grey cardigan layered over a rewoven corset, lacked the innovative spark that defined many other attendees’ looks. Despite Maison Margiela’s reputable name, the ensemble failed to make a significant impact in the context of the theme.
nnnn
nnnn
Nevertheless, amidst the hits and misses, one cannot overlook the breathtaking display of fashion prowess exhibited by the attendees. Cardi B’s spectacular black gown, designed by Chinese designer Windowsen, epitomized luxury and splendor, leaving a lasting impression on all who beheld it. Likewise, Jennifer Lopez’s sheer champagne gown, adorned with sculptured silver beading, epitomized glamor and sophistication, solidifying her status as a fashion icon.

In essence, the Met Gala 2024 was a celebration of fashion’s boundless creativity and ingenuity, where celebrities pushed the boundaries of style and offered a tantalizing glimpse into the future of fashion.

nnnn
“I don’t like what Drake dropped last night because it wasn’t bad but I don’t like the way that it ended,” Cam said. “It seemed like ‘This is the last one I’m doing.’
nnnn
“You can’t end it when you just want to end it. He’s all, ‘I’m tired of doing this,’ this, that and the third. I just think that you shouldn’t have ended it like that. You gotta keep going.”
nnnn
Ma$e said he felt “Not Like Us” as “the one.” He added, “When I heard that, I was like, ‘Oh yeah, it’s gonna be tough.’ That was the one I was expecting.”
nnnn
