Hood broke out of a shooting slump with a season-high 27 points — all in the second half — and Jusuf Nurkic added 26 points and 15 rebounds to help the Trail Blazers beat Charlotte 118-108 on Sunday. “I’ve been through worse slumps before. The biggest thing I did the second half was not think as much as I have,” said Hood, who was acquired in a trade from Cleveland last month....

Banks’s first solo album, “The Hunger for More,” isn’t a travelogue in the sense that a Peter Mayle would understand, but it’s a tour of his own obsessions: with love, death and, of course, success in the world of hip- hop.

Red Candle Games warned that it wouldn’t be able to fulfill orders outside of Taiwan, and that the game would only be available in a limited capacity.

That doesn’t mean the episode was entirely bloodless. While Westeros is a relatively peaceful place under the rule of Viserys, there is some strife popping up here and there. That’s underlined by one of the opening scenes of several men that look as though they are being hammered to pikes and left to bleed to death, or apparently be feasted upon by crabs that litter the beach. As a way of setting the scene for what is to come in House of the Dragon, this setup does a very good job of reminding viewers that there are people in this world that are closer to monsters than man....

That’s just how the math worked out this year — that the day became the one in which the Houston Cougars would take the court for their first official practice, and so Oct. 6 was transformed into a sort of Christmas morning for the Sampsons.
