Russian police raid Moscow nightclubs in LGBTQ+ crackdownDeivon Smith tallied 20 points, 13 rebounds and eight assists as St. John's breezed past visiting Delaware 97-76 on Saturday in New York. Five other players scored in double figures for the Red Storm (11-2), who won their sixth straight game in a stretch that has included a victory over Kansas State and a pair of Big East Conference wins. St. John's outshot Delaware 60.9 percent to 49.2 percent from the floor. That team effort helped the Red Storm withstand Delaware sharpshooter John Camden, who set career highs of 35 points and nine 3-pointers on 11 tries. The rest of the Blue Hens (7-6) combined to make just 1 of 13 shots from long range. Niels Lane finished with 14 points and Izaiah Pasha had 10. For St. John's, Zuby Ejiofor and RJ Luis Jr. each put up 16 points, while Simeon Wilcher scored 12. Vincent Iwuchukwu had a season-high 11 points and Kadary Richmond paired 10 points with seven assists. St. John's broke the game open early by making nine straight shots from the floor. Wilcher netted the first seven points of that run, and it ended with three straight 3-pointers -- one by Aaron Scott and two by Smith -- to make it 25-12 less than nine minutes into the game. Ejiofor's two free throws with 3:32 left in the first half gave the Red Storm their first 20-point lead at 41-21. Thirty seconds later, he threw down a two-handed dunk while getting contact, and the ensuing foul shot capped a 7-0 St. John's run. The Red Storm led 48-29 at intermission and continued to keep Delaware roughly 20 points at bay. Delaware's lone saving grace was Camden, who sank seven of his 3-pointers in the second half alone. Shortly after one of Camden's triples made it 73-55, Luis had a pair of dunks, the latter putting St. John's ahead 80-57 with 7:28 on the clock. The Blue Hens got no closer than 18 the rest of the way. --Field Level MediaPedro escaped punishment after swinging an arm at Bees substitute substitute Yehor Yarmoliuk without making contact. VAR reviewed the second-half incident but deemed there was no violent conduct. Frank and Brighton head coach Fabian Hurzeler disagreed about the decision. “As I understand the rules, you can’t swing your arm to try to hit someone,” said Frank. “If you hit them or not, it’s a red, that’s the way I understand the rules.” Frank spoke to the match officials, including referee Andy Madley, about the flashpoint at full-time. “They haven’t seen the situation yet, not on TV afterwards,” said Frank. “To be fair to him, I think the angle can be tricky so that’s why you’ve got VAR.” Asked about Frank’s assessment, Hurzeler replied: “Interesting opinion. I see it completely different. “For me, it’s not a red card. He tried to get free from a person.” Brighton were booed off after their winless run was stretched to six top-flight games. Albion dominated for large periods and hit the woodwork inside four minutes through Julio Enciso. Bees goalkeeper Mark Flekken made some important saves before being forced off injured in the 36th minute, albeit his replacement Hakon Valdimarsson was rarely tested on his Premier League debut. The Seagulls remain 10th ahead of Monday’s trip to Aston Villa, with Brentford a position and two points below moving towards their New Year’s Day showdown with Arsenal. Hurzeler thought the jeers at full-time were unfair. “The team doesn’t deserve that because in all the games we had in the last weeks they were all good, they were all intense, they were all where we thought we deserved more” said the German, whose team have lost to Fulham and Crystal Palace and drawn with Southampton, Leicester and West Ham in recent matches. “We try to work hard to satisfy our supporters, we try to give them what they deserve, we try to make them proud. “But the Premier League is tough. We know there will be (tough) periods we have to go through, especially with this young squad. “We try to stick together, find the positive and keep on going.” Brentford, who remain without a top-flight away win this term, had an early Yoane Wissa finish ruled out for offside following VAR intervention but barely threatened, despite an improved second-half showing. Frank, who is awaiting news on Flekken and defender Ben Mee, who also left the field injured, said: “I thought it was a fair point. “Brighton were better in the first half, no big, clearcut chances, and I thought we were better second half. “Overall, I’m happy with the performance, especially the way we defended. “We haven’t had too many clean sheets this season, so in that context I thought it was very impressive against a good Brighton team. “We know we have a lot of players out – we get two more injuries during the game. “The way the players showed their mentality and character and dug in was hugely impressive.”

Gas Discharge Tube Market | Business Growth, Development Factors, Current and Future Trends till 2031 | Seekway Technology Ltd. SeeReal Technologies GmbH Sony CorporationSunday's showdown between the Philadelphia 76ers and visiting Los Angeles Clippers is not going to materialize in the way Paul George had hoped. After five seasons with the Clippers, George signed a four-year, $212 million deal with the Sixers in the offseason. However, the team has won only three times in its first 15 games with stars Joel Embiid, Tyrese Maxey and George all missing significant time due to injuries. Embiid continues to nurse a knee injury and will miss this matchup, while George (hyperextended knee) will not be available to face his former team. Meanwhile, the Clippers have been up-and-down this season while playing the entire campaign without two-way standout Kawhi Leonard (knee). Los Angeles opened the season 2-1 before losing three in a row. The team then won four straight, then lost three consecutive games and now has won four straight entering Sunday's opener of a four-game road trip. The Clippers announced over the weekend that Leonard would miss the entire trip, which puts more pressure on former Sixers guard James Harden, who is averaging 20.4 points, 7.6 rebounds and a team-high 8.8 assists. Norman Powell is the Clippers' leading scorer at 23.3 points per game. He will miss his third consecutive game with a hamstring issue. The Clippers won twice at home without Powell, including Friday's 104-88 triumph over the Sacramento Kings. Harden had 22 points to lead the way in that contest, while Ivica Zubac notched 10 points and 15 rebounds. "All games are meaningful for us," Clippers coach Tyronn Lue said after the win in NBA Cup play. "Playing for the Cup and having a chance to go to Vegas to play for the big money is always intriguing as well. But we got to play the same way every night, whether it's the Cup, whatever we are doing, being short-handed." After committing 22 turnovers in the victory over the Orlando Magic on Wednesday, the Clippers committed just 12 turnovers against the Kings. "We've just got to take care of the basketball," Lue said. That will be particularly important Sunday against a Philadelphia squad that forced 19 turnovers in Friday's 113-98 victory over the Brooklyn Nets. On the offensive end, rookie Jared McCain and All-Star guard Tyrese Maxey combined for 56 points as the Sixers snapped a five-game slide. "I ain't gonna lie, it felt good to win," Maxey said after shooting 11-of-17 for 26 points. "I'm not going to sit here and talk about making shots. We played so hard, offensively and defensively, (and) played together. Guys stuck together." McCain was caught on camera in the fourth quarter saying, "I'm Rookie of the Year." The guard finished with 30 points -- his seventh straight game with at least 20 points. "It's one of my goals for the season, obviously," McCain said, "but it was just that competitiveness coming out of me. I respect every other rookie in this league, but obviously I'm a believer in myself and so, yeah, some words definitely came out at that point." The teams met Nov. 6 in Los Angeles, where the Clippers posted a comfortable 110-98 victory behind 26 points from Powell.
