An NBA officiating review concluded that referees were correct to call a foul on Jonathan Kuminga in the final seconds of the Golden State Warriors' 91-90 Wednesday loss to the Houston Rockets. The Last Two Minute Report released by the league on Thursday stated that Kuminga "pulls his shoulder down" when reaching over Rockets guard Jalen Green with 3.5 seconds remaining on the clock. The Warriors were leading by one point at the time of the foul. Green hit both ensuing free throws to seal the Rockets' win. Golden State led by six points with three minutes left before the Rockets climbed back within one point. Steph Curry missed a step-back jumpshot attempt from 24 feet out with 11 seconds remaining. In the final seconds, Rockets guard Fred VanVleet grappled with Warriors guard Gary Payton II for the ball seconds before the foul was called on Kuminga. The Last Two Minute Report deemed that a "correct non-call," writing that VanVleet made "clean contact with the ball." Warriors head coach Steve Kerr, who was visibly frustrated by the foul on Kuminga, said after the game that he had "never seen" a call like the one that ended up deciding Wednesday night's game. "I've never seen a loose ball foul on a jump ball situation, 80 feet from the basket with the game on the line," Kerr told reporters after the game, per ESPN's Ohm Youngmisuk . "I've never seen that. I think I saw it in college one time 30 years ago. Never seen it in the NBA. That is, I mean, unconscionable." "I don't even understand what just happened. Loose ball, diving on the floor, 80 feet from the basket, and you're going to give a guy two free throws to decide the game when people are scrambling for the ball. Just give them a timeout and let the players decide the game. That's how you officiate." The Rockets had lost their previous 15 games against the Warriors heading into the matchup. After defeating Golden State for the first time since February 2020, Houston advanced to the semifinals of the NBA Cup. Kerr and the Warriors have yet to make it to the semifinals in two editions of the in-season tournament.Apple Ordered to Lift In-App Purchase Restrictions in BrazilManchester United teammates Rasmus Hojlund and Amad Diallo exchanged words after the final whistle of a 2-1 victory on Thursday. And manager Ruben Amorin has no problem with it. “For me, it’s a very, very good sign,” Amorin said after his team beat Viktoria Plzen to stay unbeaten in the Europa League. Hojlund scored two goals and hoped for a centering pass from Diallo to go for a hat trick in the final minutes. The Denmark striker didn’t get the pass, though. Viktoria had been pushing forward looking for an equalizer, which created space for United counters. On another break shortly afterward, Hojlund opted to keep the ball. The pair then had a heated post-game exchange. “We need to feel something,” Amorin said. “If we need to fight each other, it’s like a family. When you don’t care, you don’t do nothing. When you care — you fight with your brother, with your mother, your father.” ___ AP soccer:

Oklahoma Democrats mourn Fred Harris, former US senator and presidential candidateBaltimore (7-4) at Los Angeles Chargers (7-3) Monday, 8:15 p.m. EST, ESPN/ABC BetMGM NFL odds: Ravens by 3. Against the spread: Ravens 5-5-1; Chargers 7-3. Series record: Ravens lead 9-5. Last meeting: Ravens beat Chargers 20-10 in Inglewood, Calif., on Nov. 26, 2023. Last week: Ravens lost to Pittsburgh 18-16; Chargers beat Cincinnati 34-27. Ravens offense: overall (1), rush (2), pass (3), scoring (2). Ravens defense: overall (3), rush (26), pass (2), scoring (23). Chargers offense: overall (18), rush (12), pass (19), scoring (18). Chargers defense: overall (11), rush (11), pass (12), scoring (1). Turnover differential: Ravens plus-2; Chargers plus-8. K Justin Tucker missed two field goals last week and is under pressure after spending most of his career beyond reproach. He’s missed six field goals on the season and is 4 for 12 from 50-plus yards since the start of last season. WR Ladd McConkey had a career-high 123 yards on six receptions against Cincinnati. The rookie came up with clutch catches of 28 and 27 yards to set up the game-winning touchdown. Chargers RB J.K. Dobbins vs. Ravens’ run defense. Dobbins showed promise during his time in Baltimore, but he never was able to live up to that potential because of injuries. Now in Los Angeles on a one-year “prove it” contract, Dobbins has nearly matched his most productive season as a professional with 726 yards and eight touchdowns in 10 games. After seeing Pittsburgh run the ball 34 times last week, the Chargers will be glad to copy that bruising approach with Dobbins. The Ravens are allowing 77.5 rushing yards per game, but even the sturdiest defense can buckle against that volume of work, so getting off the field will be critical. Baltimore’s defense has a couple of significant injury concerns. LB Roquan Smith (hamstring) left last weekend’s game, and S Kyle Hamilton has been nursing an ankle problem, although he played against the Steelers. ... Chargers OLB Khalil Mack (groin) didn’t play against Cincinnati. If the veteran pass rusher remains out this week, it would be a big loss to the chances of containing the Ravens' multi-faceted offense. The Ravens have won four straight over the Chargers in the regular season, but Los Angeles did earn a 23-17 AFC wild-card round upset in January 2019. ... Baltimore cruised to a 34-6 win over the Chargers in its first visit to SoFi Stadium on Oct. 17, 2021. Ravens RB Derrick Henry leads the NFL with 1,185 yards rushing and 15 total TDs (13 rushing and two receiving). He’s also run for a league-high 52 first downs. ... Henry is one rushing TD shy of the Ravens’ single-season record, set by Jamal Lewis in 2003. ... Baltimore QB Lamar Jackson is 6-2 on “Monday Night Football” with 20 TD passes and no interceptions. ... Henry is one of four players in the Super Bowl era to score a TD in each of the first 11 games of a season. The others are O.J. Simpson (1975), John Riggins (1983) and Jerry Rice (1987). ... The Ravens have scored touchdowns on a league-best 77.8% of their red zone trips. ... Jackson needs 124 yards passing and 16 yards rushing for a second consecutive season with 3,000 passing and 600 rushing. Since the AFL-NFL merger, only Randall Cunningham (1988-1990), Cam Newton (2011-12), Josh Allen (2021-22) and Jalen Hurts (2021-23) have accomplished that feat. ... Dobbins ran for two touchdowns against Cincinnati, giving him multiple scores in two of his past three games. He did it twice in 24 games as a Raven. ... OLB Tuli Tuipulotu had 1 1/2 sacks of Bengals QB Joe Burrow, his third straight game with more than one. All seven of Tuipulotu’s sacks this season have come in the past four games, and six of his eight tackles for loss have come in that span. ... The Chargers allowed a season-worst 27 points to Cincinnati after holding each of their previous nine opponents to 20 points or fewer. ... QB Justin Herbert has thrown one interception in 277 attempts this season. That lone pick came in Week 2 at Carolina. ... The Chargers lost their fifth turnover of the season when Herbert fumbled to start the fourth quarter. It was their first turnover at home. ... Los Angeles does not have a takeaway in its past two games. Herbert has heated up after a slow start in terms of fantasy production, having thrown for multiple touchdowns in three of his past four games. He is likely to keep that success going this week. Baltimore has allowed 22 scores through the air, which is tied with Houston for second most in the league, and Herbert should have plenty of chances to add to that total in what could be another high-scoring matchup. AP NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/NFLETIHAD STADIUM, MANCHESTER — Pep Guardiola ruefully acknowledged that, when your team is in a slump such as the one being endured by his Manchester City players, everyone but you has all the answers. All those trophies count for very little in the immediate post-mortem of a 4-0 hammering at home to Tottenham that means City have lost five games in succession across all competitions and each of their past three in the Premier League . "Listen, when you lose 0-4, all the comments — 'you missed this, you missed that' — can [be true]," he said. "But I don't have the feeling that at 0-1 we reacted really badly or in the second half. "At 0-3, [it] was our best moments until the last moment that we conceded the fourth. I think the team was good, they created the chances and we were there but, unfortunately, we could not do it." MORE: All the latest Man City news | Premier League schedule for 2024/25 | Latest Premier League top scorer rankings This might read as classic self-preservation, circling the wagons at a time of crisis, and no doubt there was an element of that. But Guardiola spoke calmly on Saturday evening, visibly less agitated than he has sometimes been in the aftermath of significant victories. The man who signed another two-year contract extension to remain with City until June 2027 this week was considered and clear-headed. Those are typically good signs. "I'm saying that I trust more than ever with these players," Guardiola said. "I've been here as a football player: you have doubts, you want to win, they are desperate to do it well. They are not 'oh, it doesn't matter'. Absolutely not. I see them every day in the training sessions, how they are focused today in the locker room and the warm-up and after the game, how they feel it. "In these situations, what do you have to to? Keep going, my friends, keep going. We have done it in the past in terms of being not as bad as now in terms of results but we have done it and we face the situation and move forward." A potential problem with this analysis is things are not like they were in the past at Manchester City and treating them as such might compound matters. How does Pep Guardiola deal with a crisis? At moments of danger and doubt, a notable trait of Guardiola's has been to double down, get back to his core principles and pursue them with increased fervour. You can't really argue with the results. When an ageing City squad were struggling with his demands during his first season in English football, he parked trying to find a formation to fit the collective and went back to a Barcelona-style 4-3-3. It meant David Silva and Kevin De Bruyne honed their dual-playmaker roles behind a front line fuelled by Raheem Sterling and Leroy Sane's wing play. City finished third that season and the same creative quartet were irresistible en route to a historic 100-point haul next time around. As Liverpool stormed to glory in the pandemic-interrupted 2019/20 season, Guardiola brought in his great mentor Juanma Lillo as his new assistant. When City were struggling at the start of the following season, Guardiola and Lillo went back to something like their foundational documents: wingers getting paint on their boots, stretching the pitch and darting from outside to in, and a delightful ensemble of playmakers within. This was false-nine City, probably the most fully realised example of Guardiola's vision that won the 2020/21 title and then pipped a formidable Liverpool at the post a year later. After the false-nine era came the truest nine of them all: Erling Haaland, a huge asset to Guardiola but also a puzzle for him to solve. He likes both those things. It wasn't all plain sailing but, on the other side of an explosive mid-season bust-up with Joao Cancelo, City won the treble. Guardiola found the extra midfield body he lost when Haaland joined because John Stones was the best midfielder on show in the UEFA Champions League final from centre-back. However, all approaches have limits and Guardiola's current squad is weaker than those he turned around previously. This is down to poor recruitment over the past two summers as well as the more recent factor of a debilitating injury list. Against Tottenham, Guardiola selected a midfield three of Ilkay Gundogan, Bernardo Silva and Rico Lewis — three players he would probably grow in a laboratory given the chance, who excel in tight spaces, cherish the ball and play with a 360-degree picture in their head. The downside is they're all quite small and quite slow. They share the same weaknesses and limitations. Tottenham blasted through them and passed around them time and again at the weekend. The absence of City's Rodri-less midfield as a duelling force left a defence lacking talismanic leader Ruben Dias frequently exposed. "The present for central defenders when [he was] fit was Rodri. Of course, it is completely different with the other ones, but you have to deal with that," Guardiola said. "That's why you have to deal with a different type of game, with more control and more of these kind of things [duels]. During the season, [injuries] happened, we don't expect to lose important players many times but it's happened and you have to find a way. When we start to lose, I say to the people 'I have to find a way, I have to'. It's my duty, my responsibility to find a way to be more consistent, make our game better and win games. "We have to find other abilities. If we don't have this one [winning duels], you have to find another way to win it. Sometimes, what you don't have for many reasons does not matter, we have to do it in another way. Which players do we have at our disposal? These ones are better than the other ones. Okay, let's go and try to do it with them for the potential, the qualities that we have." Can Man City win without Rodri? Lewis is a teenager who has been shunted a round various roles — a dazzling football education when things are going well but a painfully tough gig over the past month. Gundogan has looked his 34 years since returning from a season at Barcelona. Silva turned 30 at the start of the season and celebrated his birthday with a Community Shield goal against Manchester United. The Portugal international has always relished those games against big rivals but looks like he's running on empty right now. If Guardiola puts out the same midfield configuration at a baying Anfield next week, it would be tantamount to sending three of his favourite pupils to the gallows. Of course, if Guardiola were purely dogmatic, he would not have enjoyed such phenomenal success. There are other ways to go about this than the comfort blanket that was blown away amid Storm Bert on Saturday. His core principles have always been there, but Guardiola has not been shy when it comes to bolting on the physicality demanded at the sharp end of the English game. Kyle Walker looks a forlorn shell of himself right now but will be remembered as one of Guardiola's most important signings. Stones was able to maraud around the Ataturk Olympic Stadium that night against Inter Milan because he was one of four centre-backs on display. Perhaps those post-match glasses of wine with Tony Pulis shortly after Guardiola arrived in England were more than recreational. Dias joined in the aftermath of a 5-2 September 2020 defeat at home to Leicester City — a humiliation unsurpassed in the Guardiola era until this weekend — and added no-nonsense defensive muscle. It's more than a coincidence that the Portugal defender went off injured at halftime during the first game of City's five-match losing run and is yet to return. Then there is the much-lamented Ballon d'Or winner. Rodri plays like one of Guardiola's much-loved La Masia geniuses with the added bonus of having the dimensions of a wardrobe. The Liverpool players they face next will tell you first-hand how much this well-heeled City side has loved a scrap. They just don't look like that right now. Matheus Nunes and youth-team graduate Nico O'Reilly would add badly lacking physicality to the midfield at the expense of Guardiola's over-arching priority of control. James McAtee, restricted to a solitary minute in the Premier League this term despite City's injury woes, could add some verve further forward. It will be fascinating to see what team Guardiola picks for Tuesday's Champions League showdown against Feyenoord, especially if any of the above trio feature. It is also surely time for Kevin De Bruyne and Jack Grealish to return and add personality, presence and quality to the XI. There are places up for grabs and a season to salvage as Guardiola once again looks to strike the right balance between principles and pragmatism.
