Phillies set to host Houston with World Series tied at 1-all
PHILADELPHIA - Fresh from singing another rollicking chorus of "Fly, Eagles fly," fans streamed out of Lincoln Financial Field on Sunday and quickly turned their attention from the NFL's only unbeaten club to another Philly team, another sport and another building just a few hundred yards away.
"Let's go, Phillies!" some chanted in the concourse. "Let's go, Harper!" other hollered as they headed to the exits.
Think that was loud? Just wait till the World Series returns to Philadelphia for the first time since 2009. On Halloween night, too, with the Phillie Phanatic sure to be in rare form.
Already frenzied during the NL playoffs, Citizens Bank Park figures to be positively pulsating for Game 3 on Monday night — providing the rain that's in the forecast doesn't dampen things.

Noah Syndergaard is set to start for the Phillies against Lance McCullers Jr. and the Houston Astros with the Series tied at one game each.
"Philly fans are the best, they know the game. They just have a way of showing displeasure that sometimes is hard for players to understand," Mike Schmidt, the greatest Phillie of them all, said in an email to The Associated Press on Sunday.
That's certainly one way of putting it, coming from a three-time NL MVP and first-ballot Hall of Famer who heard boos often enough at Veterans Stadium.
Schmidt is widely expected to be at the ballpark for the pregame festivities when the Series resumes after a travel day. And he's certain to draw a standing ovation and hear loud cheers — indeed, the City of Brotherly Love is in love with all of its Phillies these days.
McCullers, in fact, say he's eager to hear and see the scene.
"I have not been shy as far as just being open to pitching on the road. I think it’s really cool to pitch on the road in the postseason. I think it’s when you get to experience the most raw and real atmospheres in all the game," he said.
Bryce Harper, Kyle Schwarber and the Phillies are all too eager to show the curveballing McCullers first-hand how quickly things can spin out of control in Philadelphia's pinball machine.
After going 47-34 at the Bank this season — good, not great compared with several top teams — the Phillies have become monster mashers at home in playoffs.
Philadelphia went 5-0 at home in eliminating defending World Series champion Atlanta and San Diego in the playoffs, outscoring them by a total of 35-15.
Harper, Schwarber and Rhys Hoskins got the park bouncing with long balls. J.T. Realmuto thrilled a sellout crowd when his drive took a crazy carom off the oddly angled wall in center field, letting him become the first catcher in postseason history to hit an inside-the-park home run.
Philadelphia Flyers coach John Tortorella had just gotten out of his car at the adjacent Wells Fargo Center when the Phillies broke loose in a playoff game.
"It was shaking over where I was. That was pretty cool," Tortorella said. "That’s what I love about being here."
Syndergaard, who spent his first six seasons in the majors pitching for the NL East rival New York Mets, is glad he'll be warming up for the home side.
"I never had the ability to play a playoff game wearing a Mets jersey in Citizens Bank Park," he said. "But I’m more than happy and more relieved to be wearing a Phillies jersey down in that bullpen."
"Because, I mean, those fans are on those guys from pitch one to the end of the game. And they’re an important part of this team and this organization as well," he said.
Schmidt vividly recalled the Philly faithful heckling and taunting a Dodgers pitcher into a meltdown on the mound during the 1977 NLCS.
"They can affect what happens in the game, like the Burt Hooton debacle," the former third baseman said. "They affect game momentum. I estimate an additional 20% advantage for home team in baseball."
"They love when the players bring them into the game with emotion and acknowledgment," he said.
Syndergaard, a fan favorite in New York with his flowing, blond hair that drew him the nickname "Thor," has pitched three times in the postseason this year for a combined 5 1/3 innings. His last start came on Oct. 15 in the NL Division Series against Atlanta when he gave up one run in three innings.
Now, he'll face Jose Altuve, Alex Bregman and manager Dusty Baker's Astros, who scored five runs each off Phillies aces Aaron Nola and Zack Wheeler in splitting the first two games.
"Well, he hasn’t had a real start really since probably the middle of September, and probably his highest pitch count is like around 35 pitches," Phillies manager Rob Thomson said.
"I think that three-inning mark is -- probably three, four innings, is probably where we’re at," he said.
Thomson will also keep an eye on the weather.
"They want to make sure that there’s no delays, that they got enough time to get it in," he said.
"If it’s really light and misty and it’s not going to get any heavier, they may start it. If it’s going to be moderate to heavy rain, they won’t start it," he said.

ATLANTA (AP) — Georgia's Republican Gov. Brian Kemp and Democratic challenger Stacey Abrams traded harsh attacks on Georgia's elections during the pair's final debate Sunday before Georgia's Nov. 8 election, while elaborating on their positions on abortion and offering sharply differing visions for the state's economy.
Kemp avoided a categorical promise not to sign further abortion restrictions, saying “it’s not my desire to go move the needle any further." But he acknowledged that more restrictions might be passed by a Republican legislature, saying that “we’ll look at those when the time comes.”
Abrams pointed out that equivocation, saying, “Let’s be clear, he did not say he wouldn’t.”
Kemp criticized Abrams as inconsistent on what restrictions she would support. Abrams argued she had not changed her position and said she would support legal abortion until a fetus is viable outside the womb.
Kemp denied claims by Democrats that under Georgia's abortion restrictions, which restrict most abortions after cardiac activity can be detected in the womb, women could be prosecuted for abortions or investigated after miscarriages. The governor revealed that his wife had miscarried one of what had been twins, while the other survived to become his eldest daughter, calling it a “tragic, traumatic situation.”
Abrams, though, said it was up to local law enforcement and district attorneys and that it wasn't clear local authorities won't attempt prosecutions. Abrams said women “should not be worried about the knock on the door is the sheriff coming to ask them if they have had an illegal abortion.”
Though Kemp and Abrams disputed issues with specificity throughout the 60-minute debate, they reserved their most personal back-and-forth for a discussion of voting rights, exposing the origins of a rivalry that goes back to when Kemp was secretary of state and Abrams was a state House member, before each ran for governor in 2018.
Kemp’s version is that he’s made it “easy to vote and hard to cheat” in Georgia, while Abrams has spent “the last 10 years running around telling you that’s not the case.” He added the barb that she’s “benefited personally from that running around,” noting Abrams’ personal financial success since her 2018 defeat.
Abrams answered that Kemp “has spent 16 years attacking the right to vote in Georgia,” most recently with the 2021 elections law overhaul that, among its provisions, enacted new rules around voting by mail.
Kemp noted that early vote totals have already reached 1.6 million, far outpacing 2018, with early voting running through Friday. He also highlighted record primary turnout for both major parties earlier this year — points that Abrams said obscure other state actions that she said have made it harder for people to cast their ballots.
“The fact that people are voting is in spite of SB 202, not because of it,” she said, referring to the GOP election law. “It was never about making sure that we had fair elections in Georgia. It was about gaming the election for Brian Kemp so he could keep people out of the polling place.”
Kemp took credit for wage growth and low unemployment while blaming sustained inflation on “disastrous” policies of Democrats in Washington, while Abrams sidestepped her party’s role in the federal government and pointed the finger at Kemp.
“We have the lowest unemployment rate in the history of our state," he said. "We have the most people ever working in the history of our state. We’re seeing economic opportunity in all parts of our state.”
Kemp touted his use of state and federal funds to suspend gasoline taxes and issue income tax rebates, repeating his pledge to seek more income tax rebates plus property tax rebates in a second term.
Abrams argued that Kemp's economy hasn't boosted enough Georgians. She pointed to her proposals to spend the state surplus on raises for teachers and some law enforcement officers, expand Medicaid, boost child care programs for working parents, among other proposals.
“Right now people are feeling economic pain, and unfortunately under this governor, that pain is getting worse,” Abrams said.
Kemp and Abrams drew sharp distinctions on crime, with the Republican governor attempting to cast Abrams as a supporter of the “defund the police” movement and touting his endorsements from dozens of sheriffs across the state.
“He is lying again. I’ve never said that I believe in defunding the police. I believe in public safety and accountability,” Abrams shot back, highlighting her proposals for spending more on law enforcement with Kemp.
While Kemp highlighted his administration’s push to curtail gang activity and violence in Georgia, Abrams criticized the administration for not thinking “holistically” about the root causes of crime, blaming Kemp's loosening of gun laws for a rise in violence.
“What is most concerning to me is that you are minimizing the death,” Abrams said. “People are dying from gun violence in the state of Georgia; children are dying. It is the No. 1 killer of our children.”
Kemp defended his policies, saying he had provided aid to state and local law enforcement, but that rising violence was ultimately not his fault.
“We are not the local police department. I’m not the mayor. I’m the governor,” Kemp shot back, adding that local law enforcement agencies “know I will have their back.”
Sunday's match was the third debate overall between the two rivals. They met only once in 2018, with Kemp, then secretary of state, skipping a second debate to attend a rally with then-President Donald Trump.
Kemp leads in most polls, but Abrams argues that her focus on getting out infrequent Democratic voters may be missed by surveys.
Unlike the first governor's debate on Oct. 17, Sunday night's event did not feature Libertarian Shane Hazel, the third candidate on the ballot. Hazel interrupted that debate several times trying to make his points because he wasn’t asked as many questions. Hazel's presence on the ballot means it's possible that there will be a runoff on Dec. 6, because Georgia law requires candidates to win an absolute majority.

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — In one moment, thousands of Halloween revelers crammed into the narrow, vibrant streets of Seoul’s most cosmopolitan neighborhood, eager to show off their capes, wizard hats and bat wings.
In the next, panic spread as an unmanageable mass of people jammed into a narrow alley in Itaewon. Toppled revelers stacked on one another "like dominoes" in a chaotic crush so intense that clothes were ripped off.
A stunned Seoul was just beginning on Monday to put together the huge scope of the crowd surge that killed mostly people in their 20s and 30s, including foreign nationals, on Saturday night. As of Sunday evening, officials put the death toll at 153 and the number of injured people at 133. The Ministry of the Interior and Safety said it expected the death toll to rise on account of the number of injured people in serious conditions.
Witnesses say the nightmarish scene intensified as people performed CPR on the dying and carried limp bodies to ambulances, while dance music pulsed from garish clubs lit in bright neon. Others tried desperately to pull out those who were trapped underneath the crush of people, but failed because too many in the crowd had fallen on top of them.
Some people were unable to move at all for 40 minutes.
“We were just stuck together so tightly we couldn’t even shift to call out and report the situation,” said one witness, surnamed Lee. “We were strangers, but we held each others’ hands and repeatedly shouted out, ‘Let’s survive!’”
Kim Mi Sung, a witness who works for a non-profit organization in Itaewon, told The Associated Press that nine out of the 10 people she gave CPR to eventually died. Many were bleeding from their noses and mouths. Most were women dressed as witches or were in other Halloween costumes; two were foreigners.
“It was like a hell,” Kim said. “I still can't believe what happened.”
In this ultra-wired, high-tech country, anguish, terror and grief — as well as many of the details of what happened — are playing out most vividly on social media. Users posted messages desperately seeking friends and loved ones, as witnesses and survivors described what they went through.
“I thought I was dying," one woman said in posts on Twitter. "My entire body was stuck among everyone else, while people laughed from a terrace and videotaped us. I thought I would really die if I cried out. I stretched my hands out to (others) who were above me and I managed to get out.”
An unidentified female witness in her 20s wept as she described the scene to the Yonhap news agency: “It looked like the graves of people piled upon one another. Some of them were slowly losing consciousness and others seemed to have already died."
A male witness, surnamed Kong, said he managed to escape to a nearby bar with his friends after the crush happened. He saw through the bar windows that people were falling on top of each other “like dominoes,” Yonhap reported.
Friends and family members gathered at a local government office to try to find news about the missing.
“I haven’t heard from my child. How can I sleep when my child hasn’t returned home?” an unidentified woman said, according to footage from Yonhap News TV.
One Twitter user posted a series of messages asking for information about a 17-year-old friend who had gone to Itaewon to celebrate wearing a hairband that looked like cat ears.
“I lost contact with her. She’s been a friend of mine for 12 years, and we were like family. Please help me,” the message said.
Even after the crush, some witnesses said they saw some revelers not immediately making way for emergency vehicles, rescuers and police officers. One viral video clip on Twitter showing a crowd of young people dancing and singing near the carnage drew several insults from South Koreans.

DETROIT (AP) — Saddiq Bey scored 28 points, Cade Cunningham was an assist short of a triple-double and the Detroit Pistons beat the defending champion Golden State Warriors 128-114 on Sunday night to end a five-game losing streak.
Cunningham had 23 points, 10 rebounds and nine assists to help the Pistons won for the first time since their opening game. Isaiah Stewart added 24 points and 13 rebounds as Detroit's starters scored 111 points.
Steph Curry had 32 points and Jordan Poole added 30 for Golden State, coming off a 120-113 overtime loss in Charlotte on Saturday. The Warriors played without Klay Thompson (rest).
Golden State led by 10 early in the second quarter, but the Pistons responded with a 29-9 run to take a 10-point lead of their own. Stewart had 15 points and seven rebounds in the first half, including a rare 3-pointer to put Detroit up 63-55 at halftime.
Curry was 3-8 on 3-pointers in a 15-point half, but the rest of the Warriors went 1-13 from behind the arc. Golden State had a 22-12 edge on points in the paint, but Detroit's jump shooting gave them a decided edge.
The Pistons kept rolling in the third quarter, starting with an 11-2 run to go up by 17, 74-57.
Poole, though, scored 12 points in 52 seconds — a three-point play and three 3-pointers — to cut it to 79-72.
Detroit regained the momentum when Cunningham blocked Curry at the rim and tapped the loose ball to Ivey, who drove the length of the floor for a dunk.
Poole had 18 points in the quarter, but the Pistons outscored Golden State 37-36 to take a 100-91 lead. The Warriors never made a significant run in the fourth.
TIP INS
Warriors: Poole and Curry outscored their teammates 62-52 in the first three quarters. Their fellow starters — Draymond Green, Kevan Looney and Andrew Wiggins — combined for 19 points on 7-of-24 shooting.
Pistons: Detroit had more points in the first three quarters (100) than they averaged in four losses (96.3) to the Warriors over the last two seasons. ... Rookie C Jalen Duran left in the fourth quarter with a left leg injury.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Taylor Heinicke scored on a 1-yard plunge with 22 seconds left Sunday, capping an 89-yard drive in the final 2 1/2 minutes and sending the Washington Commanders to a 17-16 victory over the Indianapolis Colts.
Indy native Terry McLaurin set up the decisive score by wrestling the ball away from cornerback Stephon Gilmore, the 2019 NFL Defensive Player of the Year, for a 33-yard catch one play before Heinicke scored.
Washington (4-4) has won three straight.
Indy (3-4-1) managed only one TD in Sam Ehlinger's first career start. He took over at quarterback this week when coach Frank Reich announced longtime veteran Matt Ryan had been benched.
The Commanders carried a 7-3 lead into the second half. But Chase McLaughlin's third field goal of the day, a 20-yarder, gave Indy a 9-7 lead early in the fourth quarter.
Heinicke was picked off on the ensuing possession and the Colts needed two plays to convert the turnover into a 6-yard touchdown run by Nyheim Hines. Reich sent McLaughlin out for the extra point instead of going for 2.
Heinicke eventually made the Colts pay for that decision, converting a fourth-and-1 from his 20-yard line by buying enough time to hook up with Curtis Samuel for a 12-yard gain. He hooked up with McLaurin four plays later and eventually scored.
Heinicke was 23 of 31 for 279 yards, one TD and one interception.
Ehlinger finished 17 of 23 for 201 yards, and he also had six carries for 15 yards. He was sacked twice.
HOMECOMING WEEKEND
McLaurin made sure his homecoming was special, catching six passes for 113 yards and just missing out on the winning score.
The Indy native grew up attending Colts games in the upper deck with his father, and he won three high school state titles and two Big Ten titles on this field. So, naturally, McLaurin fulfilled nearly six dozen ticket requests in his pro debut at Lucas Oil Stadium.
RINGING IT IN
Former Colts left tackle Tarik Glenn was inducted into Indy's Ring of Honor at halftime, the 18th member of the club. Glenn started 154 games for Indy, primarily at left tackle, from 1997-2006 and was part of the Colts' Super Bowl-winning team.
Hall of Famers Peyton Manning, Marvin Harrison, Edgerrin James and Bill Polian attended the festivities, and former Colts center Jeff Saturday donned Glenn's No. 78 jersey before the game.
“I'm so grateful for this opportunity and I couldn't do it without a village," Glenn said. “I am so grateful to have played all my 10 years in Indianapolis.”
UP NEXT
Commanders: Host Minnesota and former quarterback Kirk Cousins next Sunday.
Colts: Renew their rivalry on a road trip to New England next Sunday.

CLEVELAND (AP) — Donovan Mitchell had 38 points and a season-high 12 assists, Kevin Love scored 16 of his 29 points in the fourth quarter and the Cleveland Cavaliers rallied to beat the New York Knicks 121-108 on Sunday night.
Mitchell and Love combined for 28 points in the final period as Cleveland outscored New York 37-15. Love made five 3-pointers and Mitchell scored 12 points — both also had four-point plays — in rallying the Cavaliers from a nine-point deficit.
Jalen Brunson had 12 points and three assists in the third, giving the Knicks their largest lead at 93-84. Brunson and Evan Fournier finished with 16 points apiece, while Julius Randle and RJ Barrett each had 15 for New York.
Dean Wade scored a career-high 22 points and Evan Mobley had 16 points for the Cavaliers, who won have won five straight since dropping their season opener in Toronto. They are 3-0 at home.
The Cavaliers also received six points and a game-high 13 rebounds from All-Star center Jarrett Allen and eight assists from Caris LeVert. Mitchell and LeVert each had 41 points Friday night in a 132-123 overtime win in Boston.
Three-time All-Star Mitchell scored 15 points on five 3-pointers in the first quarter, helping the Cavaliers take a 10-point lead over his hometown team.
Mitchell believed he would be traded to the Knicks over the summer, only to have the Cavaliers swoop in with a better offer on Sept. 1. Utah received Lauri Markkanen, Collin Sexton, rookie Ochai Agbaji, three first-round draft choices and two pick swaps in return.
Randle also had nine rebounds and seven assists, and Isaiah Hartenstein had 12 points and nine rebounds off the bench. The Knicks amassed 64 points in the paint to 32 for the Cavaliers.
All-Star point guard Darius Garland missed his fifth consecutive game for Cleveland with a left eye laceration. Garland has not played since being poked in the eye by Raptors guard Gary Trent Jr. on Oct. 19.
SORE SUBJECT
Knicks coach Tom Thibodeau cracked a smile when asked if he imagined what his lineup would look like with Mitchell in it.
“You know, we don’t deal with hypotheticals,” Thibodeau said. “He’s a terrific player and he’s had an immediate impact with Cleveland. He’s a high-end talent.”
Mitchell is leading the NBA in minutes per game while continuing to fill in for Garland. The Cavaliers haven’t lost since Mitchell temporarily moved to the point.
“Part of that is because teams are having to deal with Mitchell, which makes space for his teammates,” Thibodeau said. “His shot profile is really good.”
TIP-INS
Knicks: New York has lost four straight at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse and is 47-64 in Cleveland. … G Quentin Grimes (left foot soreness), the No. 25 overall pick in 2021, has been inactive for all six games. Grimes averaged 6.0 points in 46 games as a rookie. … Two-way F Feron Hunt and two-way G Trevor Keels are on G League assignments with the Westchester Knicks.
Cavaliers: Garland resumed on-court activities Wednesday, but no timetable is in place for his return to action. Coach J.B. Bickerstaff said Garland “wants to play, there is no doubt about it,” and will wear protective goggles indefinitely. … G Ricky Rubio (left knee surgery), G Dylan Windler (right ankle sprain), two-way F Isaiah Mobley (G League assignment) and Garland were inactive.
UP NEXT
Knicks: Host Atlanta on Wednesday night.
Cavaliers: Host Boston on Wednesday night.

Elon Musk, the company's new owner, has refuted a New York Times report that said Twitter would fire staff before November 1 to avoid having to pay out stock grants on that day.
Musk wrote, in response to a Twitter user who inquired about the layoffs, "This is false."
The New York Times reported on Saturday that Musk had mandated layoffs before Nov. 1, when workers were supposed to receive stock awards as part of their remuneration. Musk also ordered employment cuts across the company, with some teams being reduced more than others.
According to the Times, who cited unnamed persons with knowledge of the situation, the cuts may start as soon as this Saturday.
According to media sources on Saturday, Musk planned additional layoffs for this coming Saturday while he sacked key employees to avoid huge severance payments.
People with knowledge of the situation told Reuters that Musk fired Twitter Chief Executive Parag Agrawal, Chief Financial Officer Ned Segal, and Chief Legal Affairs and Policy Officer Vijaya Gadde after the completion of a highly publicised $44 billion buyout of the social media platform on Thursday.
Regarding the predominance of bogus accounts on the platform, he alleged that they had misled him and Twitter's investors. According to research firm Equilar, the CEOs might have received parting benefits totalling close to $122 million.
The Information alleged that Elon Musk fired four top Twitter executives, including Agrawal and Segal, "for cause," citing unnamed persons with knowledge of the situation, apparently to dodge severance compensation and unvested stock awards.
LightShed analyst Rich Greenfield said in a tweet on Saturday that Musk removed top Twitter executives "for cause," delaying the vesting of their unvested stock as part of a shift of ownership.
Reuters' request for comment from Twitter did not receive a response right away. The fired executives were not immediately reachable by Reuters.
According to Courtney Yu, director of research at Equilar, the ousted executives "should be getting these (severance) payouts unless Elon Musk had cause for termination, with the cause in these cases usually being that they broke the law or violated company policy," Yu told Reuters on Friday.

Reported By:| Edited By: DNA Web Team |Source: DNA Web Desk |Updated: Oct 31, 2022, 06:35 AM IST
Who is Vijaya Gadde, who received Rs 610 crore after being fired from Twitter by Elon Musk?
Several Twitter employees, including CEO Parag Agrawal, head of legal affairs and policy Vijaya Gadde, and chief financial officer Ned Segal, were let go shortly after billionaire Elon Musk "freed" the bird. The firings weren't unexpected because Musk has previously accused them of lying to him and Twitter investors about the actual numbers related to bots and phoney accounts on the microblogging platform.
Despite their disagreement with Musk, the three are leaving with sizable payouts; according to The Free Press Journal, Gadde received the most money, at Rs 610 crore, followed by Segal at Rs 544 crore and Agarwal at Rs 536 crore. Meanwhile, several right-wing Twitterati groups are jubilant that Gadde has been fired.
When the deal to buy Twitter was announced in April 2022, Musk also criticised Gadde for her "left-wing bias" and for excluding some users from the platform.
But the main question arises who is Viajay Gadde? What are her connections with India and what are the controversies she has been to while her time on Twitter?
Vijaya Gadde was born in Hyderabad, India, in 1974 to a Telugu family. But she hadn't met her father until she relocated to Texas, in the United States, at the age of three. Gadde noted that her father was a struggling graduate student in America at the time, unable to provide for his family, in a 2014 interview with Fortune.
Gadde grew up in a small town in Texas, where there were only a handful of Indians; racism was rampant and the Ku Klux Klan had a significant local presence. "You don't realise it (KKK's presence) when you're a child," she told Fortune, adding that her father needed their permission to sell insurance. Gadde later realised that this wasn't right and decided to become a lawyer to fight racism.
Vijaya was studying in Cornell University in New York where she completed her graduate degree in Industrial and labour relations and later went to New York to study law. She worked in the legal department of Juniper Networks as a senior director.
She joined Twitter in 2011, and one of her main duties was responding to harassing and fake news messages.
Ramsey Homsany, a lawyer and technology executive, and Gadde are married. Together, they have two kids. The pair typically keeps their personal affairs out of the spotlight.
Her tweets identify her as a South Asian woman, who stays true to her Telugu-Hindu roots by celebrating festivals like Vinayaka Chaturthi and Diwali.
Twitter former CEO Jack Dorsey and Gadde held a closed-door meeting in 2018 with a select group of Indian journalists and activists, during which the company agreed to look into whether it must include caste as a separate reporting category under its hateful conduct policy, as per a mail sent to the participants of the meeting.
Dorsey was seen holding a placard that said, "Smash Brahmanical Patriarchy" when he and Gadde were later seen with the activists. Hindu right-wingers and members of the upper caste immediately denounced Twitter for "insulting Brahmins," prompting Gadde to apologise and claim that Twitter was determined to remain "apolitical."
Gadde reportedly contributed significantly to the 2020 suspension of Donald Trump's Twitter account. Musk, though, sparked controversy once more during the Twitter acquisition by referring to himself as a "free speech absolutist" and calling Twitter's Trump ban "a mistake."
During a debate with American YouTuber Tim Pool and Dorsey on the radio show The Joe Rogan Experience, he even uploaded a meme with Gadde on it regarding Twitter's "left-wing bias."
Following this, Gadde ended up on the receiving end of racist abuse. Expletives were used with respect to her Indian origin, including terms like "curry." Some Twitter users wanted her fired from the firm while others accused her of deleting countless accounts for "telling the truth."

ATLANTA (AP) — Georgia's Republican Gov. Brian Kemp and Democratic challenger Stacey Abrams traded harsh attacks on Georgia's elections during the pair's final debate Sunday before Georgia's Nov. 8 election, while elaborating on their positions on abortion and offering sharply differing visions for the state's economy.
Kemp avoided a categorical promise not to sign further abortion restrictions, saying “it’s not my desire to go move the needle any further." But he acknowledged that more restrictions might be passed by a Republican legislature, saying that “we’ll look at those when the time comes.”
Abrams pointed out that equivocation, saying, “Let’s be clear, he did not say he wouldn’t.”
Kemp criticized Abrams as inconsistent on what restrictions she would support. Abrams argued she had not changed her position and said she would support legal abortion until a fetus is viable outside the womb.
Kemp denied claims by Democrats that under Georgia's abortion restrictions, which restrict most abortions after cardiac activity can be detected in the womb, women could be prosecuted for abortions or investigated after miscarriages. The governor revealed that his wife had miscarried one of what had been twins, while the other survived to become his eldest daughter, calling it a “tragic, traumatic situation.”
Abrams, though, said it was up to local law enforcement and district attorneys and that it wasn't clear local authorities won't attempt prosecutions. Abrams said women “should not be worried about the knock on the door is the sheriff coming to ask them if they have had an illegal abortion.”
Though Kemp and Abrams disputed issues with specificity throughout the 60-minute debate, they reserved their most personal back-and-forth for a discussion of voting rights, exposing the origins of a rivalry that goes back to when Kemp was secretary of state and Abrams was a state House member, before each ran for governor in 2018.
Kemp’s version is that he’s made it “easy to vote and hard to cheat” in Georgia, while Abrams has spent “the last 10 years running around telling you that’s not the case.” He added the barb that she’s “benefited personally from that running around,” noting Abrams’ personal financial success since her 2018 defeat.
Abrams answered that Kemp “has spent 16 years attacking the right to vote in Georgia,” most recently with the 2021 elections law overhaul that, among its provisions, enacted new rules around voting by mail.
Kemp noted that early vote totals have already reached 1.6 million, far outpacing 2018, with early voting running through Friday. He also highlighted record primary turnout for both major parties earlier this year — points that Abrams said obscure other state actions that she said have made it harder for people to cast their ballots.
“The fact that people are voting is in spite of SB 202, not because of it,” she said, referring to the GOP election law. “It was never about making sure that we had fair elections in Georgia. It was about gaming the election for Brian Kemp so he could keep people out of the polling place.”
Kemp took credit for wage growth and low unemployment while blaming sustained inflation on “disastrous” policies of Democrats in Washington, while Abrams sidestepped her party’s role in the federal government and pointed the finger at Kemp.
“We have the lowest unemployment rate in the history of our state," he said. "We have the most people ever working in the history of our state. We’re seeing economic opportunity in all parts of our state.”
Kemp touted his use of state and federal funds to suspend gasoline taxes and issue income tax rebates, repeating his pledge to seek more income tax rebates plus property tax rebates in a second term.
Abrams argued that Kemp's economy hasn't boosted enough Georgians. She pointed to her proposals to spend the state surplus on raises for teachers and some law enforcement officers, expand Medicaid, boost child care programs for working parents, among other proposals.
“Right now people are feeling economic pain, and unfortunately under this governor, that pain is getting worse,” Abrams said.
Kemp and Abrams drew sharp distinctions on crime, with the Republican governor attempting to cast Abrams as a supporter of the “defund the police” movement and touting his endorsements from dozens of sheriffs across the state.
“He is lying again. I’ve never said that I believe in defunding the police. I believe in public safety and accountability,” Abrams shot back, highlighting her proposals for spending more on law enforcement with Kemp.
While Kemp highlighted his administration’s push to curtail gang activity and violence in Georgia, Abrams criticized the administration for not thinking “holistically” about the root causes of crime, blaming Kemp's loosening of gun laws for a rise in violence.
“What is most concerning to me is that you are minimizing the death,” Abrams said. “People are dying from gun violence in the state of Georgia; children are dying. It is the No. 1 killer of our children.”
Kemp defended his policies, saying he had provided aid to state and local law enforcement, but that rising violence was ultimately not his fault.
“We are not the local police department. I’m not the mayor. I’m the governor,” Kemp shot back, adding that local law enforcement agencies “know I will have their back.”
Sunday's match was the third debate overall between the two rivals. They met only once in 2018, with Kemp, then secretary of state, skipping a second debate to attend a rally with then-President Donald Trump.
Kemp leads in most polls, but Abrams argues that her focus on getting out infrequent Democratic voters may be missed by surveys.
Unlike the first governor's debate on Oct. 17, Sunday night's event did not feature Libertarian Shane Hazel, the third candidate on the ballot. Hazel interrupted that debate several times trying to make his points because he wasn’t asked as many questions. Hazel's presence on the ballot means it's possible that there will be a runoff on Dec. 6, because Georgia law requires candidates to win an absolute majority.

HONG KONG, Oct. 30, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Akeso, Biopharma (9926. HK) ("Akeso") released the Phase Ib clinical results of Ivonescimab (PD-1/VEGF bi-specific, AK112) in combination with etoposide and carboplatin in first-line treatment of extensive-stage small-cell lung cancer(ES-SCLC), in an oral presentation at the IASLC 2022 Asia Conference on Lung Cancer.
Preliminary data of AK112 combination with etoposide and carboplatin showed a favorable safety profile and promising anti-tumor efficacy as first-line treatment in patients with ES-SCLC and may be a promising treatment option. Compared to the data from marketed PD-L1 inhibitors in combination with chemotherapy, AK112 in combination with chemotherapy demonstrated superior antitumor efficacy and survival benefit.
As of June 1, 2022, all patients had received at least one dose of AK112. The median follow-up time was 7.2 months.
- Median progression-free survival (PFS) was 6.9 months, with a 6-month PFS rate of 52.1%,
- Objective remission rate (ORR) was 87.5%, and disease control rate (DCR) was 96.9%.
- Overall survival (OS) data are not mature.
- No new safety signal was observed.
Lung cancer is one of the most common cancers globally and in China, with up to two-thirds of SCLC patients having ES-SCLC at first diagnosis, and etoposide + platinum has been the standard of care for first-line treatment of ES-SCLC for more than 30 years. Two PD-L1 inhibitors have been approved in combination with chemotherapy to treat ES-SCLC, but the survival benefit for patients remains very limited.
Two Phase III trials of Ivonescimab for major lung cancer indications are currently being conducted efficiently, including Ivonescimab plus chemotherapy versus chemotherapy in EGFR mutated advanced non-squamous NSCLC that failed in prior EGFR-TKI therapy, and Ivonescimab monotherapy versus Pembrolizumab monotherapy as the first-line treatment for NSCLC patients with positive PD-L1 expression.
Related Studies:
Atelelizumab (PD-L1) in combination with carboplatin and etoposide, was approved for the first-line treatment of ES-SCLC (IMpower133) which had a median PFS of 5.2 months, a median OS of 12.3 months, and an ORR of 60.2%. [1] [2]
Dulvalizumab (PD-L1) in combination with etoposide and either carboplatin or cisplatin, was approved for the first-line treatment of ES-SCLC (CASPIAN) which had a median PFS of 5.1 months, an ORR of 68%, and a median OS of 13 months[3]

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — In one moment, thousands of Halloween revelers crammed into the narrow, vibrant streets of Seoul’s most cosmopolitan neighborhood, eager to show off their capes, wizard hats and bat wings.
In the next, panic spread as an unmanageable mass of people jammed into a narrow alley in Itaewon. Toppled revelers stacked on one another "like dominoes" in a chaotic crush so intense that clothes were ripped off.
A stunned Seoul was just beginning on Monday to put together the huge scope of the crowd surge that killed mostly people in their 20s and 30s, including foreign nationals, on Saturday night. As of Sunday evening, officials put the death toll at 153 and the number of injured people at 133. The Ministry of the Interior and Safety said it expected the death toll to rise on account of the number of injured people in serious conditions.
Witnesses say the nightmarish scene intensified as people performed CPR on the dying and carried limp bodies to ambulances, while dance music pulsed from garish clubs lit in bright neon. Others tried desperately to pull out those who were trapped underneath the crush of people, but failed because too many in the crowd had fallen on top of them.

Some people were unable to move at all for 40 minutes.
“We were just stuck together so tightly we couldn’t even shift to call out and report the situation,” said one witness, surnamed Lee. “We were strangers, but we held each others’ hands and repeatedly shouted out, ‘Let’s survive!’”
Kim Mi Sung, a witness who works for a non-profit organization in Itaewon, told The Associated Press that nine out of the 10 people she gave CPR to eventually died. Many were bleeding from their noses and mouths. Most were women dressed as witches or were in other Halloween costumes; two were foreigners.
“It was like a hell,” Kim said. “I still can't believe what happened.”
In this ultra-wired, high-tech country, anguish, terror and grief — as well as many of the details of what happened — are playing out most vividly on social media. Users posted messages desperately seeking friends and loved ones, as witnesses and survivors described what they went through.
“I thought I was dying," one woman said in posts on Twitter. "My entire body was stuck among everyone else, while people laughed from a terrace and videotaped us. I thought I would really die if I cried out. I stretched my hands out to (others) who were above me and I managed to get out.”
An unidentified female witness in her 20s wept as she described the scene to the Yonhap news agency: “It looked like the graves of people piled upon one another. Some of them were slowly losing consciousness and others seemed to have already died."
A male witness, surnamed Kong, said he managed to escape to a nearby bar with his friends after the crush happened. He saw through the bar windows that people were falling on top of each other “like dominoes,” Yonhap reported.
Friends and family members gathered at a local government office to try to find news about the missing.
“I haven’t heard from my child. How can I sleep when my child hasn’t returned home?” an unidentified woman said, according to footage from Yonhap News TV.
One Twitter user posted a series of messages asking for information about a 17-year-old friend who had gone to Itaewon to celebrate wearing a hairband that looked like cat ears.
“I lost contact with her. She’s been a friend of mine for 12 years, and we were like family. Please help me,” the message said.
Even after the crush, some witnesses said they saw some revelers not immediately making way for emergency vehicles, rescuers and police officers. One viral video clip on Twitter showing a crowd of young people dancing and singing near the carnage drew several insults from South Koreans.

ROCKVILLE, Md. and SUZHOU, China, Oct. 30, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Innovent Biologics, Inc. ("Innovent") (HKEX: 01801), a world-class biopharmaceutical company that develops, manufactures, and commercializes high-quality medicines for the treatment of oncology, autoimmune, metabolic, ophthalmology and other major diseases, announced that the first patient was dosed in Australia for its proprietary anti-Claudin18.2 monoclonal antibody-drug conjugate(ADC) (R&D code: IBI343) in Phase I clinical trial for the treatment of patients with advanced solid tumors. It is the first ADC candidate drug to enter clinical phase in Innovent's pipeline.
The study (NCT05458219) is an open-label, multi-center Phase I study evaluating the safety, tolerability, and preliminary efficacy of IBI343 in subjects with advanced solid tumors, and to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and/or the recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D).
IBI343 is a recombinant human anti-Claudin 18.2 monoclonal ADC. After IBI343 binds to the Claudin 18.2-expressing tumor cells, the Claudin 18.2 dependent ADC internalization occurred and the drug is released resulting in DNA damage and eventually apoptosis of the tumor cells. The freed drug can also diffuse across the plasma membrane to reach and kill the neighboring cells, resulting in "bystander killing effect". In both Claudin 18.2 high and low expression mice tumor bearing models, IBI343 exhibited potent tumor growth inhibition efficacy, and it also demonstrated tolerable safety profile in preclinical in vivo models.
Dr. Andrea Tazbirkova, Pindara Private Hospital Located in Queensland, Australia, stated: "Claudin 18.2 has emerged as an ideal anti-tumor target and has been clinically validated by different modalities including mono-antibodies and CAR-T therapy with manageable toxicity. Nonetheless, the efficacy is selective and limited within cancer patients with CLDN18.2-high expression, leaving unmet need for patients with CLDN18.2 low-expressing tumors. IBI343 is Claudin 18.2 targeting ADC with bystander effect and has demonstrated promising anti-tumor effect in Claudin 18.2-high and low in-vivo models with tolerable safety profile. We look forward to the positive results in the safety/tolerability and efficacy of IBI343 in the clinic."
Dr. Hui Zhou, Senior Vice President of Innovent, stated: " At present, target treatment options are limited for gastric and pancreatic cancer where imply huge unmet clinical needs. High expression of Claudin 18.2 in aforesaid tumors suggests its high potential and Innovent has been actively rolling out a cluster of Claudin 18.2 drug candidates across different modalities to seek for differentiated therapeutic values while guarantee druggability. We are pleased that the first patient dose of IBI343 has been completed in Australia. In parallel, the IND for IBI343 has been filed in China last month. We are looking forward to the positive results of IBI343 in patients with advanced solid tumors. IBI343 is our first ADC molecule to initiate clinical study in both Australia and China, adding a valuable clinical asset in our R&D pipeline that represents Innovent's global innovation strategy. The company will also accelerate the development of more innovative molecules with high global potential, taking advantage of cross-regional R & D and clinical resources, adhering to the long-term development strategy of 'driven by innovation, developed through globalization'with an aim to benefit cancer patients worldwide."
About Claudin 18.2
Claudin18.2 is a member of the Claudin protein family, which is a highly tissue-specific protein expressed only in differentiated epithelial cells on the gastric mucosa under normal physiological conditions. Previous studies have revealed that Claudin18.2 is highly expressed in multiple types of cancer such as gastric cancer, pancreatic cancer, esophageal adenocarcinoma, and colorectal cancer. The unique feature of limited expression in normal tissues and highly specific expression in cancer makes Claudin18.2 an ideal target for developing the immunotherapeutic for solid tumors.
Globally, there are many candidate therapies in clinical development. The drug modalities under development include monoclonal antibodies, bispecific antibodies, antibody-conjugated drugs and CAR-T cell products. However, currently no drug targeting Claudin18.2 has been approved.
About IBI343
IBI343 is a recombinant human anti-Claudin 18.2 monoclonal antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) developed by Innovent Biologics. IBI343 binds to the Claudin 18.2-expressing tumor cells, the Claudin 18.2 dependent ADC internalization will occurr and the drug is released resulting in DNA damage and eventually apoptosis of the tumor cells. The freed drug can also diffuse across the plasma membrane to reach and kill the neighboring cells, resulting in "bystander killing effect". Currently, Phase I study of IBI343 has been conducted in Australia (NCT05458219) to assess the safety, tolerability, and preliminary efficacy of IBI343 in subjects with advanced solid tumors, and to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and/or recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D).

BOSTON (AP) — Jaylen Brown scored 24 points and the Boston Celtics took advantage of cold shooting by Bradley Beal, routing the Washington Wizards 112-94 on Sunday night.
Jayson Tatum had 23 points, including five 3-pointers, and Malcolm Brogdon added 21 points off the bench to help Boston avoid its third straight loss.
The Celtics connected on 21 3-pointers and had a season-high 29 assists on 36 field goals.
But they were more proud of their defense on a night Washington shot just 38.8% from the field.
“The sole focus is we want to have hot starts like that — offensively and defensively,” Celtics guard Marcus Smart said. “Sustaining it is our problem. We wanted to come out tonight and make a big emphasis on that end. Once we get that lead because of our defense...not to let it slow down and take our foot off the gas pedal.”
Boston interim coach Joe Mazzulla said he was also comfortable with the shot selection on a night his team hoisted 47 3-point attempts.
“I love 3-pointers, I like math," Mazzulla said. “I think it's a huge strength of our team. The thing we have to learn on the offensive end...is making sure we're getting the best, accurate shot every time down and regardless if it goes in or not, it's a good shot. We did a good job of when shots were not falling of competing defensively.”
Kristaps Porzingis scored 17 points for the Wizards, who have lost three of their last four.
Beal missed his first 11 shots and was scoreless until the third quarter before finishing with 12 points and eight assists. He was 4 of 16 from the field. Beal and Porzingis were the only Wizards starters to reach double figures
“It's one of those nights where you have three of your five starters really struggle offensively. That's difficult to overcome,” Wizards coach Wes Unseld Jr. said.
With Beal struggling, Boston led by as many as 24 points in the opening 24 minutes. Washington's starting lineup managed to connect on just 11 of its 32 field goal attempts in the half.
Beal’s first points came from the free throw line with 2:29 left in the third quarter. He didn’t score from the from the field until dropping in a step-back, 17-footer a few possessions later.
It also didn’t help that Sunday was Washington’s second game without one of its peskiest defenders in backup point guard Delon Wright, who could be sidelined up to two months with a hamstring issue.
TIP-INS
Wizards: The last time Beal was held scoreless in the first half of a game was 2018 against the Golden State Warriors. … Trailed 51-27 in the second quarter before closing the half on a 20-7 run. … Have faced first- quarter deficits of at least 15 points in back-to-back games.
Celtics: Grant Williams had 10 points, four rebounds and a block in his first game back from serving a one-game suspension for directing inappropriate language at and bumping into a referee. … Led 34-15 at end of first quarter. … Jumped out to 21-8 lead, with Tatum and Brown taking the team’s first 12 shots and combining for 27 points in the period.
UP NEXT
Wizards: Host Philadelphia on Monday.
Celtics: At Cleveland on Wednesday.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Taylor Heinicke scored on a 1-yard plunge with 22 seconds left Sunday, capping an 89-yard drive in the final 2 1/2 minutes and sending the Washington Commanders to a 17-16 victory over the Indianapolis Colts.
Indy native Terry McLaurin set up the decisive score by wrestling the ball away from cornerback Stephon Gilmore, the 2019 NFL Defensive Player of the Year, for a 33-yard catch one play before Heinicke scored.
Washington (4-4) has won three straight.
Indy (3-4-1) managed only one TD in Sam Ehlinger's first career start. He took over at quarterback this week when coach Frank Reich announced longtime veteran Matt Ryan had been benched.
The Commanders carried a 7-3 lead into the second half. But Chase McLaughlin's third field goal of the day, a 20-yarder, gave Indy a 9-7 lead early in the fourth quarter.
Heinicke was picked off on the ensuing possession and the Colts needed two plays to convert the turnover into a 6-yard touchdown run by Nyheim Hines. Reich sent McLaughlin out for the extra point instead of going for 2.
Heinicke eventually made the Colts pay for that decision, converting a fourth-and-1 from his 20-yard line by buying enough time to hook up with Curtis Samuel for a 12-yard gain. He hooked up with McLaurin four plays later and eventually scored.
Heinicke was 23 of 31 for 279 yards, one TD and one interception.
Ehlinger finished 17 of 23 for 201 yards, and he also had six carries for 15 yards. He was sacked twice.
HOMECOMING WEEKEND
McLaurin made sure his homecoming was special, catching six passes for 113 yards and just missing out on the winning score.
The Indy native grew up attending Colts games in the upper deck with his father, and he won three high school state titles and two Big Ten titles on this field. So, naturally, McLaurin fulfilled nearly six dozen ticket requests in his pro debut at Lucas Oil Stadium.
RINGING IT IN
Former Colts left tackle Tarik Glenn was inducted into Indy's Ring of Honor at halftime, the 18th member of the club. Glenn started 154 games for Indy, primarily at left tackle, from 1997-2006 and was part of the Colts' Super Bowl-winning team.
Hall of Famers Peyton Manning, Marvin Harrison, Edgerrin James and Bill Polian attended the festivities, and former Colts center Jeff Saturday donned Glenn's No. 78 jersey before the game.
“I'm so grateful for this opportunity and I couldn't do it without a village," Glenn said. “I am so grateful to have played all my 10 years in Indianapolis.”

Commanders: Host Minnesota and former quarterback Kirk Cousins next Sunday.
Colts: Renew their rivalry on a road trip to New England next Sunday.

CLEVELAND (AP) — Donovan Mitchell had 38 points and a season-high 12 assists, Kevin Love scored 16 of his 29 points in the fourth quarter and the Cleveland Cavaliers rallied to beat the New York Knicks 121-108 on Sunday night.
Mitchell and Love combined for 28 points in the final period as Cleveland outscored New York 37-15. Love made five 3-pointers and Mitchell scored 12 points — both also had four-point plays — in rallying the Cavaliers from a nine-point deficit.
Jalen Brunson had 12 points and three assists in the third, giving the Knicks their largest lead at 93-84. Brunson and Evan Fournier finished with 16 points apiece, while Julius Randle and RJ Barrett each had 15 for New York.
Dean Wade scored a career-high 22 points and Evan Mobley had 16 points for the Cavaliers, who won have won five straight since dropping their season opener in Toronto. They are 3-0 at home.
The Cavaliers also received six points and a game-high 13 rebounds from All-Star center Jarrett Allen and eight assists from Caris LeVert. Mitchell and LeVert each had 41 points Friday night in a 132-123 overtime win in Boston.
Three-time All-Star Mitchell scored 15 points on five 3-pointers in the first quarter, helping the Cavaliers take a 10-point lead over his hometown team.
Mitchell believed he would be traded to the Knicks over the summer, only to have the Cavaliers swoop in with a better offer on Sept. 1. Utah received Lauri Markkanen, Collin Sexton, rookie Ochai Agbaji, three first-round draft choices and two pick swaps in return.
Randle also had nine rebounds and seven assists, and Isaiah Hartenstein had 12 points and nine rebounds off the bench. The Knicks amassed 64 points in the paint to 32 for the Cavaliers.
All-Star point guard Darius Garland missed his fifth consecutive game for Cleveland with a left eye laceration. Garland has not played since being poked in the eye by Raptors guard Gary Trent Jr. on Oct. 19.
SORE SUBJECT
Knicks coach Tom Thibodeau cracked a smile when asked if he imagined what his lineup would look like with Mitchell in it.
“You know, we don’t deal with hypotheticals,” Thibodeau said. “He’s a terrific player and he’s had an immediate impact with Cleveland. He’s a high-end talent.”
Mitchell is leading the NBA in minutes per game while continuing to fill in for Garland. The Cavaliers haven’t lost since Mitchell temporarily moved to the point.
“Part of that is because teams are having to deal with Mitchell, which makes space for his teammates,” Thibodeau said. “His shot profile is really good.”
TIP-INS
Knicks: New York has lost four straight at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse and is 47-64 in Cleveland. … G Quentin Grimes (left foot soreness), the No. 25 overall pick in 2021, has been inactive for all six games. Grimes averaged 6.0 points in 46 games as a rookie. … Two-way F Feron Hunt and two-way G Trevor Keels are on G League assignments with the Westchester Knicks.
Cavaliers: Garland resumed on-court activities Wednesday, but no timetable is in place for his return to action. Coach J.B. Bickerstaff said Garland “wants to play, there is no doubt about it,” and will wear protective goggles indefinitely. … G Ricky Rubio (left knee surgery), G Dylan Windler (right ankle sprain), two-way F Isaiah Mobley (G League assignment) and Garland were inactive.

They were one of the most dreaded mafia groups in Mumbai known for extorting money from celebrities and gunning down people. Today, the D-Company’s presence in the city has been curtailed and the gang has been reduced to ‘settling’ land and property deals by cashing in on the fear still associated with the names of its founder and boss Dawood Ibrahim and his trusted aide Chhota Shakeel, both declared fugitives by the government.
Behind the shrinking and rescaling of D-Company’s operations in Mumbai lies a change of its fortunes after the death of one of its most powerful leaders, Dawood’s sister Haseena Parker, as well as the dogged efforts of the National Investigation Agency (NIA) and the Mumbai police to wipe out their reach and threat in the city.
The recent arrest of brothers-in-law of Chhota Shakeel by the NIA first, and later by the Mumbai crime branch, has shed light on the modus operandi of the gang.
After Parker died in 2014, Salim Qureshi, alias Fruit, and Arif Shaikh, alias Arif Bhaijaan, took over the mafia network.
An officer from the Mumbai crime branch said that the Mumbai police has registered at least four FIRs against D-Company members in the past two months after the NIA arrested Qureshi and Shaikh on August 5 on charges of extortion and terror funding.
The cases have been registered under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act and the Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act (MCOCA). If convicted, Qureshi and Shaikh would be behind bars for at least a few years due to stringent bail conditions specified in the two acts.
“Earlier people would be worried about complaining against Qureshi and Shaikh. However, after their arrest, four people have come forward to lodge FIRs and more complaints are likely,” the officer said, adding that while one complaint was registered with the Economic Offences Wing of the Mumbai police, the other three were registered at Versova, Dadar and Dongri police stations.
All these cases were eventually taken up by the anti-extortion cell of Mumbai police for further investigation. The officer said that while the police knew that the D-Company had been extorting money from people caught in land and property disputes over the past few years, these cases provide a closer look at how they operate.
The first FIR against Qureshi was registered on August 10 at the Dadar police station. The complainant, Mohammad Tambe, said that he had rented out a building, jointly owned with his nephews, at Masjid Bunder. In June 2021, after a dispute broke out between them, some of the tenants of the building showed Tambe a legal notice they had received saying 50% of the ownership of the building had been sold to Qureshi and henceforth they would have to pay the rent to him.
When Tambe visited the registration office at Dadar, he found out that the property was sold for Rs 21 lakhs by using forged documents like fake tenant list, rent receipts, duplicate gumasta license etc. It took Tambe more than a year to gather the courage to lodge a complaint against Qureshi, which led to an FIR being registered against nine people including Qureshi and Tambe’s nephews.
On September 24, an FIR was registered by the Economic Offences Wing of the Mumbai police against Qureshi, his wife Shazia and nine others for allegedly usurping a property worth Rs 25 crores in south Mumbai.
The complainant, a South Africa-based businessman Ahmad Lambath, alleged that his relatives had sold his building in Umerkhadi to Qureshi’s wife in 2016 by forging the signature of his father who died in 2006. In this case too, while the incident took place in 2016, the complainant came forward a month after Qureshi had been arrested.
On September 26, another FIR was registered by Versova police against Qureshi and his aide Riyaz Bhati for allegedly threatening and demanding Rs 62 lakh from a businessman after he lost to Qureshi during a game of cards. When he couldn’t pay, Qureshi asked the businessman to hand over his car – a Range Rover worth Rs 30 lakhs. Seven people have been arrested in the case including Qureshi and Bhati.
The latest FIR was registered on October 12 at the Dongri police station against Qureshi, Shaikh and a builder, Jayesh Shah, based on a complaint lodged by a property dealer Sohail Arbiwala. Arbiwala alleged that in 2012 he had bought a five-acre land at Mira Road in Thane from its owner Meenabai Raut, Bahmini Patil and others for Rs 4 crores. He later discovered that Shah had also transacted with the owners for the same land parcel. When Arbiwala approached Shah to clarify if he had purchased the plot, Shah told him to talk to “hajisaab”, or Chhota Shakeel.
In 2018, Arbiwala was asked to pay Rs 5 crores and hand over a part of the land measuring 50,000 sq ft to Arif Shaikh to settle the matter. When he did not respond to the offer, he started receiving death threats. Eventually, Arbiwala decided to approach the Dongri police. An FIR was registered and Shaikh and Shah were arrested.
An officer said: “While we knew about the crime in several of these cases, the complainant was not willing to come forward. After the arrest of Shaikh and Qureshi, we have been counselling people to lodge a formal complaint, which leads to the registration of an FIR.”
“The D-Company capitalised on the fear its name would trigger to ensure that people yielded to its demands and did not come forward to complain. After the NIA case, however, the tide has turned,” he added
A senior police officer said that the police are keeping a watch on at least 20 people who assist Chhota Shakeel in carrying out such activities in and around Mumbai.
“There are a few more cases where we suspect the involvement of D-Company and we are trying to convince people to come forward and lodge a complaint. Our aim is to completely wipe out D-Company’s network in the city,” he added.
Profiles of key members of the D-Company in Mumbai
Haseena Parkar
Haseena Parkar was Dawood Ibrahim’s younger sister. Haseena got involved in mafia operations after her husband, Ibrahim Parkar, was shot dead by the Arun Gawli gang in 1991. The infamous JJ shootout was carried out by Dawood in order to avenge the death of his brother-in-law. Later, when Dawood left the country after law enforcement agencies started tracking him, it was Haseena who handled D-Company’s activities in the city till she died of a heart attack in July 2014. After her death, Arif Shaikh and Salim Qureshi took over the reins of the gang.
Arif Shaikh
Arif Shaikh, also known as Arif Bhaijaan, is the husband of Chhota Shakeel’s younger sister Fehmida, who passed away in 2020. Arif, along with nine others, was deported to India from Dubai in 2006 in connection with the murder of former Gujarat home minister Haren Pandya. Since then, his name cropped up in extortion cases, following which he was placed under arrest. On October 12, the Crime Branch arrested him in an extortion case.
Salim Qureshi
Salim Qureshi reportedly handles D-Company operations in south and central Mumbai. Also known as Salim Fruit – he owns a family business of selling fruits in south Mumbai – Qureshi was deported to India by the UAE government in 2006. He was arrested in an extortion case related to Chhota Shakeel and charged under the Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act (MCOCA). He was in prison till 2010. On October 1, the Mumbai Crime Branch took his custody in connection with an extortion case.
Low-ranking members
Officials say that Shaikh and Qureshi are assisted by a network of several small-time goons and middlemen, who help them approach potential victims. In its probe, the NIA had claimed to have identified ’21 operatives’ of the D-Company that were still functioning and assisting Qureshi and Shaikh in Mumbai.

As withdrawal of nominations closed on Saturday, rebel candidates will continue to remain a trouble for both BJP and Congress. In Chief Minister Jairam Thakur’s home district Mandi, three BJP rebel candidates will be contesting as independents. Higher functionaries of the party, including national president JP Nadda and Thakur have been reaching out to rebel leaders to soothe the rebellion.
While the candidature of Gian Chand as an independent has been accepted in Nachan, former minister Roop Singh’s son Abhishek Thakur has not withdrawn his nomination from Sundernagar and will be posing a challenge to candidate Rakesh Jamwal. In Mandi Sadar, Parveen Sharma, a supporter of former CM Prem Kumar Dhumal, will be up against BJP’s Anil Sharma. Champa Thakur is the Congress candidate from Mandi.
In the Kangra region, Vipin Nehria, district president of the BJP ST Morcha, from Dharamsala will be fighting this election as an independent. Hundreds of party workers had resigned from party posts in Vipin who enjoys the support of the Gaddi community. Kirpal Singh Parmar, former Rajya Sabha member from Fatehpur; Manohar Dhiman, former MLA from Indora; Kulbhash Chaudhary from Kangra and sitting MLA turned rebel Hoshiyar Singh from Dehra, have filed their nominations as independent candidates. Kulbhash Chaudhary and other BJP leaders in the region had expressed discontent with Pawan Kajal defecting from Congress.
Former BJP MLA KL Thakur will be fighting as a rebel candidate from Nalagarh while GL Musafir, a seven-time MLA will be contesting as independent from Pachad after being denied a ticket by Congress. After a string of efforts, the BJP was able to convince former MP Maheshwar Singh to withdraw his nomination as independent from Kullu. The leader’s ticket had been canceled after he failed to convince his son to not fight as independent from Banjar.
Congress party has been able to convince nine rebels- Kamal Kishore from Indora, Vijay Kumar and Rakesh Kumar from Dehra, Karan Parmar from Shahpur, Lal Singh Kaushal from Nachan, Kuldeep Kumar former minister from Chintputni, Dr Bheeru Ram Kishore ex MLA from Jhandutta, Tilak Raj from Bilaspur, Shamsher Ali from Paonta Sahib and Sabla Ram Chauhan from Choupal.

On Thursday, the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) of the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) will convene to formulate its response to the Government of India about the high rate of inflation in the country.
The RBI is by law responsible for maintaining price stability. Under the “inflation-targeting” regime that began in 2016, the central bank is required to target an inflation rate of 4 per cent, with a leeway of 2 percentage points on either side. Thus, for any given month, RBI’s comfort zone for inflation lies between 2 per cent and 6 per cent.
What has triggered this meeting?
Retail inflation for September was 7.4 per cent — which means the price level for retail consumers last month was 7.4 per cent higher than what it was in September 2021. This also means that retail inflation — which is calculated using the Consumer Price Index (CPI) — has been outside the RBI’s comfort zone for three consecutive quarters beginning January.
Under the RBI Act, 1934, if the central bank fails to meet the inflation target for three consecutive quarters, it is required to provide the following information to the government:
How does the MPC target inflation?
The MPC has six members including the RBI Governor — three each nominated by the RBI and the government. The MPC meets every two months — that is, six times a year — in February, April, June, August, October, and December to evaluate the current status and outlook for inflation and economic growth. Based on that assessment, it tweaks the repo rate, which is the interest rate at which the RBI loans money to the banking system. It is for this reason that movements in the repo rate influence the overall interest rates in the economy.
Typically, when the MPC wants to contain inflation, it raises the repo rate. Such a “dear money” policy makes all types of borrowing — both for consumers (say, car loans) and producers (say, fresh business investments) — costlier and effectively slows down economic activity in the economy.
When inflation outlook is benign but growth is stalling, the RBI can choose to lower the repo rate and promote economic activity; such a “cheap money” policy incentivises people to spend money instead of saving it.
How did RBI fail to check inflation?
RBI’s response to the government — which it must provide by November 12 — will be privileged communication. However, reading previous MPC statements and comparing them to India’s inflation can provide clues on where RBI fell behind the curve. Note, however, that the MPC’s knowledge of inflation typically lags by two months — which means as it deliberates in October, it works with data until August.
The latest surge in inflation began from October 2021. This is what the MPC said after meetings since then:
OCT 2021: “The inflation trajectory is set to edge down during Q3:2021-22 (October to December)… The CPI headline momentum is moderating with the easing of food prices which, combined with favourable base effects, could bring about a substantial softening in inflation in the near-term.”
However, Prof Jayanth R Varma, one of the government-nominated members, “expressed reservations” about the RBI’s continued “accommodative” stance. Varma flagged rising “core” inflation, which is the inflation rate without the effect of fuel and food prices, which often fluctuate wildly. Core inflation is a more stable measure that rises and falls more gradually than the headline number.
As the chart shows, India had been witnessing high headline inflation since late 2019. While there was some relief on the headline inflation front in the first half of 2021, core inflation became a concern by October. The MPC noted: “Core inflation…remained elevated and sticky at 5.8 per cent in July-August 2021.”
This was a clear red flag. It underscored India’s vulnerability to sudden spikes in inflation if either food or fuel prices went up. However, the RBI kept the repo rate unchanged at 4 per cent. In the limited context of what happened later in 2022, this was the first point where RBI fell behind the curve.
DEC 2021: By this time, RBI knew that core inflation in October had inched further up to 5.9 per cent. But it still chose to not raise interest rates. “…The MPC decided to keep the policy repo rate unchanged at 4 per cent and to continue with an accommodative stance as long as necessary to revive and sustain growth on a durable basis,” it said.
FEB 2022: By this time, headline and core inflation were converging at the 6 per cent level. But the MPC still refused to raise interest rates, stating that “inflation is likely to moderate” between December 2021 and September 2022. Prof Varma again expressed reservations with the accommodative stance. As it happened, Russia invaded Ukraine later in February and crude prices went shooting up.
APR 2022: It was clear that inflation was unlikely to “moderate”, and the MPC recognised it formally by sharply raising the inflation forecast for the current financial year from 4.5 per cent to 5.7 per cent. And yet, it did not actually take action to raise interest rates.
In April the retail inflation rate came in at 7.8 per cent, the highest since the Narendra Modi government took charge in 2014, and almost double the mandated target rate. The MPC was forced to call an emergency meeting in May to raise the repo rate. Rates have since gone up by 190 basis points, including three consecutive 50 bps increases in June, August, and September.

PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- Fresh from singing another rollicking chorus of "Fly, Eagles fly," fans streamed out of Lincoln Financial Field on Sunday and quickly turned their attention from the NFL's only unbeaten club to another Philly team, another sport and another building just a few hundred yards away.
"Let's go, Phillies!" some chanted in the concourse. "Let's go, Harper!" other hollered as they headed to the exits.
Think that was loud? Just wait till the World Series returns to Philadelphia for the first time since 2009. On Halloween night, too, with the Phillie Phanatic sure to be in rare form.
Already frenzied during the NL playoffs, Citizens Bank Park figures to be positively pulsating for Game 3 on Monday night - providing the rain that's in the forecast doesn't dampen things.

Noah Syndergaard is set to start for the Phillies against Lance McCullers Jr. and the Houston Astros with the Series tied at one game each.
"Philly fans are the best, they know the game. They just have a way of showing displeasure that sometimes is hard for players to understand," Mike Schmidt, the greatest Phillie of them all, said in an email to The Associated Press on Sunday.
That's certainly one way of putting it, coming from a three-time NL MVP and first-ballot Hall of Famer who heard boos often enough at Veterans Stadium.
Schmidt is widely expected to be at the ballpark for the pregame festivities when the Series resumes after a travel day. And he's certain to draw a standing ovation and hear loud cheers - indeed, the City of Brotherly Love is in love with all of its Phillies these days.
At their ballpark, a large World Series banner was in place. Across the street, a giant "Let's Go Phillies!" sign was draped from the Eagles' stadium before they routed the Pittsburgh Steelers 35-13 to improve to 7-0.

Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney and Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner set up a bet on Twitter.
If the Phillies win - when the Phillies win - Houston will send over chicken and waffles from The Breakfast Klub, some Dome Faux'm from 8th Wonder Brewery, and make a donation to Kids Meals Inc. of Houston. In addition, Kenney asks for a donation to Philly's Mighty Writers.
If the Astros win - not likely - Philly will send over a six-pack from Triple Bottom Brewing Company and a meal from South Philly Barbacoa.
The Philadelphia City Council issued a wager of its own to the Houston City Council.
The challenge was accepted and it will be cheesesteaks vs. BBQ.
Philadebundance is looking to continue its winning ways with its Strike Out Hunger fundraising challenge.
Philabundance and Feeding San Diego faced off during the National League Championship Series to see who could raise the most funds to address hunger. Philabundance raised $16,944 and Feeding San Diego raised $7,707.

NEW YORK -- The city of New York is settling lawsuits filed on behalf of two men who were exonerated last year for the 1965 assassination of Malcolm X, agreeing to pay $26 million for the wrongful convictions which led to both men spending decades behind bars.
The state of New York will pay an additional $10 million. David Shanies, an attorney representing the men, confirmed the settlements on Sunday.
"Muhammad Aziz, Khalil Islam, and their families suffered because of these unjust convictions for more than 50 years," said Shanies said in an email. "The City recognized the grave injustices done here, and I commend the sincerity and speed with which the Comptroller's Office and the Corporation Counsel moved to resolve the lawsuits."
Shanies said the settlements send a message that "police and prosecutorial misconduct cause tremendous damage, and we must remain vigilant to identify and correct injustices."
Last year, a Manhattan judge dismissed the convictions of Aziz, now 84, and Islam, who died in 2009, after prosecutors said new evidence of witness intimidation and suppression of exculpatory evidence had undermined the case against the men. Then-District Attorney Cyrus Vance Jr. apologized for law enforcement's "serious, unacceptable violations of law and the public trust."

The New York City Law Department, through a spokesperson, said Sunday it "stands by" Vance's opinion that the men were wrongfully convicted and the financial agreement "brings some measure of justice to individuals who spent decades in prison and bore the stigma of being falsely accused of murdering an iconic figure."
Shanies said over the next few weeks the settlement documents will be signed and the New York court that handles probate matters will have to approve the settlement for Islam's estate. The total $36 million will be divided equally between Aziz and the estate of Islam.
Aziz and Islam, who maintained their innocence from the start in the 1965 killing at Upper Manhattan's Audubon Ballroom, were paroled in the 1980s.
Malcolm X gained national prominence as the voice of the Nation of Islam, exhorting Black people to claim their civil rights "by any means necessary." His autobiography, written with Alex Haley, remains a classic work of modern American literature.
Near the end of Malcolm X's life, he split with the Black Muslim organization and, after a trip to Mecca, started speaking about the potential for racial unity. It earned him the ire of some in the Nation of Islam, who saw him as a traitor.
He was shot to death while beginning a speech Feb. 21, 1965. He was 39.
Aziz and Islam, then known as Norman 3X Butler and Thomas 15X Johnson, and a third man were convicted of murder in March 1966. They were sentenced to life in prison.
The third man, Mujahid Abdul Halim - also known as Talmadge Hayer and Thomas Hagan - admitted to shooting Malcolm X but said neither Aziz nor Islam was involved. The two offered alibis, and no physical evidence linked them to the crime. The case hinged on eyewitnesses, although there were inconsistencies in their testimony.
Attorneys for Aziz and Islam said in complaints that both Aziz and Islam were at their homes in the Bronx when Malcolm X was killed. They said Aziz spent 20 years in prison and more than 55 years living with the hardship and indignity attendant to being unjustly branded as a convicted murderer of one of the most important civil rights leaders in history.
Islam spent 22 years in prison and died still hoping to clear his name.

SAN ANTONIO — San Antonioans can expect a chance of scattered showers several days this week, with a 30 to 50% chance of rain on Tuesday afternoon and a 20% chance on Friday, according to the National Weather Service. Rainfall totals will be low.
“Tomorrow, the weak disturbance coming in from the west, out of Mexico, will gradually start to increase the cloud cover,” said Andrew Quigley, meteorologist from the National Weather Service New Braunfels, bringing in some light rains across the county.
The disturbance can be expected early Tuesday morning before the sun rises, but Quigley said despite the chance of rain, precipitation totals will be low as the rain passes through.
“Unfortunately, despite the 30 to 50% chance of rain, some locations within Bexar County may be lucky to see even a tenth of an inch,” said Quigley.
By Tuesday afternoon, rain chances will taper off, with temperatures in the low to mid 70s, and dry weather will return.
“We’re going to settle into this mild, partly cloudy pattern through the middle and later portions of the week,” said Quigley.
There is another chance of rain for Friday afternoon, but that is looking more uncertain as of now, with a 20% chance of precipitation and isolated thunderstorms.
According to Quigley, there’s a lot of “disagreement amongst the models” when it comes to the rain at the end of the week. The National Weather Service’s Austin Bureau expects to have more clarity in the coming days.

Abbott just makes sense
Re: “O’Rourke for governor just makes sense,” Editorial, Oct. 23:
The evaluating and endorsing of candidates was somewhat bipartisan, even for the San Antonio Express-News’ Editorial Board.
Interesting, though, was an endorsement being justified in that the candidate was the choice to better serve his/her constituents. That being said, with Gov. Greg Abbott leading in the polls and his previous success at “winning in a red state,” wouldn’t those be strong indications he is the better choice to represent Texans?
The key to winning is, however, getting out and voting, but a recommendation for Abbott would have been nice since the polls and his past success are indicative that Texans are not as dissatisfied with him as some people would like you to believe.
Rich Petri
Texas is already gambling
Re: “Abbott open to expanded gambling,” Front Page, Wednesday:
This headline greeted me when I opened my paper Wednesday. More gambling with our children’s lives? More gambling with the lives of women who need medical care that is no longer available to them? Is this what we need in Texas?
Go to the polls — if you aren’t blocked from voting by some ridiculous new voting requirement.
Doris Alderman, Boerne
Money makes sky friendly
Re: “S.A. airfares return to pre-COVID levels,” Front Page, Oct. 24.
Why does the Express-News continually disregard the realities of our demographics?
Your most recent articles about the inadequacies of San Antonio International Airport lie somewhere between ignorance and deliberate misinformation. All your reporters seem to understand is population. They regularly complain that we lack the nonstop flights and destination choices of Austin’s airport, despite being the larger city.
Among the top 25 U.S. cities in population, Austin ranks eighth in income. San Antonio ranks 22nd. People in Austin fly. Many San Antonians don’t — and won’t. San Antonio couldn’t fill a flight to Beijing if we had the longest runways in the country.
Why don’t you report the basic reality? Airlines are for-profit entities. They will add destinations when they can sell enough tickets to make it worth their while. Take a look at how many middle-distance (e.g., Chicago, Denver, Atlanta) flights from San Antonio still are serviced by regional jets with fewer than 100 seats. They aren’t trying to insult us. They just want to make money by carrying as many passengers as will buy a ticket.

SAN ANTONIO — It’s high school playoff time with UIL set to start on Monday and most of TAPPS next week.
The UIL Region IV-6A is loaded. The addition of Smithson Valley to Class 5A from 6A could lead to a third matchup against district New Braunfels Canyon with huge stakes.
La Vernia, Pleasanton and Davenport are the local teams to beat in 4A.
Also, Antonian could be on a state-championship path in TAPPS.
Here’s a look at some storylines to watch during the playoffs.
Class 6A obstacles
Getting through Region IV-6A won’t be easy. The region has six of the 25 teams listed in the latest Texas Girls Coaches Association’s state rankings.
O’Connor (41-4) is the region’s highest-ranked team at No. 6.
Dripping Springs, a perennial 5A power is now in 6A. The Tigers (36-13) are ranked 11th in state. Others are No. 14 Clark (34-8), No. 16 Austin Lake Travis (35-11), No. 18 Austin Westlake (33-12) and No. 24 Reagan (31-14).
Reigning state champion Brandeis (27-16) is not listed, but the Broncos still pose a serious threat.
Clark, which won District 28-6A at 16-0, won’t have it easy should the Cougars beat San Marcos in the first round. The Cougars could meet Westlake in the second round and Dripping Springs in the third round.
O’Connor and Lake Travis could meet in the regional semifinals. However, potential meeting against Brandeis and Reagan won’t make it easy for Lake Travis.
Bolstering IV-5A
Smithson Valley, a perennial area power in 6A is now aligned in 5A. The Rangers (35-7), ranked No. 9 in 5A, have improved steadily down the stretch. They shared the District 26-5A championship with No. 10 New Braunfels Canyon (39-7), a state semifinalist last season.
Smithson Valley has a veteran team with outside hitter Emily Wertz, middle blocker Lillie Johnson and right-side hitter Morgan Spradling — all seniors.
Canyon runs everything through junior setter Megan Hawkins, who has produced some gaudy numbers in two-plus seasons. Hawkins has 2,879 career assists. That number is impressive considering Hawkins shared setting duties as a freshman during a pandemic-shortened season (26 matches).
Hawkins is also an asset on defense. She is 46 digs short of the 1,000 for her career.
Two others in contention from Region IV-5A are District 28-5A champion Harlandale and 27-5A winner Alamo Heights. Harlandale (28-5) are led by versatile junior outside hitter/setter Cayla Reyes, a superb setter and attacker with strong defending skills. The No. 19 Mules (30-10) are led by senior middle blocker and SMU pledge Hannah Whittingstall.
Area 4As pack power
Davenport, a relative newbie, joins established powers Pleasanton and La Vernia, as the area top contenders in Class 4A.
The third-year Wolves (34-5), ranked No. 5 in state, secured the District 27-4A title with a 12-0 league run. Sisters — junior Talan Dodson (457 kills) and sophomore Ashtan Dodson (317 kills) lead the attack. Freshman Lexi Dahl has 448 assists.
District 28-4A champion La Vernia (34-9), ranked No. 4, is led by senior outside hitter Bailey Schievelbein and senior setter Ava Harris, who are third-year starters.
La Vernia defeated No. 6 Pleasanton (40-2) in four sets in a non-district match on Oct. 7.
Pleasanton, the District 29-4A champion, is led by senior outside hitter Sadie McAda (699 kills, 571 digs to lead team) and senior setter Victoria Urbancyzk (1,036 assists).
Ambitious Antonian
Antonian (37-11) concludes its regular season at Houston Incarnate Word on Tuesday. Antonian has not dropped a match in TAPPS District 2-6A play.
Antonian is optimistic about a state-title run after playing a challenging non-district schedule.
The Apaches won the Kerrville Tivy tournament by going 6-0, went 6-3 in the Round Rock Westwood tournament and 4-5 in the New Braunfels Fraulein tournament. Antonian also victories against District 27-6A champion New Braunfels and Brandeis.
Junior outside hitter Kalina Calvillo (496 kills) and senior all-around Sujeili Mermello (304 kills, 457 digs) lead the team.

Doug McDermott was 7 for 14 from 3-point range and scored 23 points as the Spurs defeated the Minnesota Timberwolves 107-98 on Sunday night at the AT&T Center.
The Spurs, who were picked to win less than 23 games by Las Vegas oddsmakers, continued their stellar — and selfless play. The Spurs (5-2) led the NBA in assists coming into the game and, once again, showed prowess at ball movement, getting assists on 27 of 36 baskets.
The Spurs were down to nine rotational players after Blake Wesley was injured during the game and did not return. Devin Vassell was ruled out again and then Isaiah Roby and Jeremy Sochan were both out with flu-like symptoms.
Karl-Anthony Towns scored 15 points in the first quarter, but that didn’t deter the Spurs from taking control. Towns finished with 26 points.
Keldon Johnson led the Spurs with 25 points and was tied with Tre Jones for the team lead with eight assists. Keita Bates-Diop scored 18 points for the Spurs.
With 2:20 remaining in the third quarter McDermott drained a 3 from the corner to put the Spurs up by 19. Minnesota (4-3) cut the lead to four, 94-90, with 6:38 remaining.
From there the defenses took over and the Spurs closed out the Timberwolves down the stretch as Johnson hit a 3 and a pair of free throws.
