Butler Leads Heat To 4th Straight Win, 116-108 Over Raptors
MIAMI (AP) — Jimmy Butler and the Miami Heat are continuing to claw their way back from a brutal start to the season. Butler scored 27 points, 14 of them in the final quarter, and the Heat won their fourth consecutive game by topping the Toronto Raptors 116-108 on Wednesday night. READ MORE: South Florida House Republicans Vote Against President Biden's $1.9 Trillion Pandemic Relief Package Butler also had 10 assists and eight rebounds for the Heat, plus a season-high three 3-pointers — two of them in the final minutes. Bam Adebayo had 19 points and 12 rebounds for Miami, Duncan Robinson added 17 points and Goran Dragic scored 15 in his return from an ankle injury.

(AP Photo/Lynne Sladky) It was the eighth win in the last 11 games for the Heat, who started the season 7-14. Kyle Lowry, returning from a thumb injury, scored 24 for Toronto. Fred VanVleet also had 24 for the Raptors, Norman Powell scored 17 and OG Anunoby had 14 for Toronto. Powell made a 3-pointer as the shot clock was expiring to get Toronto within 100-98 before Butler had the game’s next three plays of any significance — a 3-pointer, a steal on the ensuing possession and a layup to push Miami’s lead back to seven. Another 3-pointer by Butler with 3:23 left restored the seven-point edge, and Miami kept the lead the rest of the way. Lowry scored 12 of Toronto’s first 20 points in the opening 6 ½ minutes, and he made a 31-footer over Miami’s zone midway through the second quarter to tie it at 48. The next 2:51 belonged to Miami. The Heat went on a 17-2 spurt in that time, six players scoring during the run, to open a 15-point lead and wound up taking a 66-56 lead into the locker room for halftime. Toronto scored the first 10 points of the second half, erasing ...
2nd former aide accuses New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo of sexual harassment
A second former aide has come forward with sexual harassment allegations against New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who responded with a statement Saturday saying he never made advances toward her and never intended to be inappropriate. Charlotte Bennett, a health policy adviser in the Democratic governor’s administration until November, told The New York Times that Cuomo asked her inappropriate questions about her sex life, including whether she had ever had sex with older men. Another former aide, Lindsey Boylan, a former deputy secretary for economic development and special adviser to the governor, recently accused Cuomo of subjecting her to an unwanted kiss and inappropriate comments. Cuomo denied the allegations. Cuomo said in a statement Saturday that Bennett was a “hardworking and valued member of our team during COVID” and that “she has every right to speak out.” He said he had intended to be a mentor for Bennett, who is 25. “I never made advances toward Ms. Bennett nor did I ever intend to act in any way that was inappropriate,” Cuomo’s statement said. “The last thing I would ever have wanted was to make her feel any of the things that are being reported.” Cuomo, however, said he had authorized an outside review of Bennett’s allegations. The governor’s special counsel, Beth Garvey, said that review would be conducted by a former federal judge, Barbara Jones. “I ask all New Yorkers to await the findings of the review so that they know the facts before making any judgements,” Cuomo said. “I will have no further comment until the review has concluded.” The pair of harassment allegations represent a deepening crisis for Cuomo, who just months ago was at the height of his popularity for his leadership during the height of the coronavirus pandemic last spring. In recent weeks, he has been assailed, even by some fellow Democrats, over revelations that his administration had substantially underreported COVID-19 deaths in nursing homes. A state ...
Philadelphia Weather: Steady Rain Showers Expected Throughout Region Sunday Afternoon
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — The sun peaked its way through the clouds on Saturday afternoon which was a welcomed sight after the rain and even snowy start to the day across the northern portions of Southeastern Pennsylvania. While conditions have remained dry from about midday Saturday through the early morning hours on Sunday, the next rainmaker is on tap for Sunday. The bulk of the steadiest rain is expected to advance into the Philly region between 10 a.m. and 12 p.m. Steady rain showers are expected for the whole area throughout the afternoon with pockets of heavier rain possible. READ MORE: CBS3 Pet Project: How To Build A Relationship With Your Cat The steady showers will tapper slightly heading into Sunday evening — but they are not expected to fully stop. Lots of green on the radar this morning but any rain is very light so far today. Showers will pick up in intensity throughout the morning and could become heavy this afternoon @CBSPhilly pic.twitter.com/dNkZ48rjfx — Matt Peterson (@MPetersonWx) February 28, 2021 Scattered and spotty showers, overall damp conditions, are likely through most of the evening and early overnight hours as well. A second period of more steady shower activity will fire up again after midnight on Monday. This second round of rain will be associated with a cold front tracking in from the west. We should expect to see rain and showers basically all of Monday morning before the region starts drying out midday. Clouds will slowly decrease on Monday afternoon but winds will start to pick up in the wake of the passing cold front. Rain totals over the course of Sunday and Monday morning will be widespread in the 0.5-1″ range — with some localized areas — in the heaviest pockets reaching as much as 1.25″. This new rain coupled with what we received on Saturday morning and the continued snowmelt will lead to some limited threats of small streaming flooding, especially across South Jersey.

And last week, the City of Philadelphia announced they are rolling back some COVID-19 restrictions which will allow fans to return to the stands at sporting events. It will be the first time spectators will be at sporting events since last March due to the coronavirus pandemic. The new guidelines align somewhat, but not entirely, with state restrictions. Philadelphia has been more restrictive than the rest of the state in most of its shutdowns, but the rules are being eased as the number of new coronavirus cases declines. Sports, theaters and other events will be allowed to expand to the state limits — no more than 500 people indoors and outside can hold up to 2,500.
