Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scored a career-high 42 points and Lu Dort hit a 3-pointer as time expired to give the Oklahoma City Thunder a 102-99 win over the San Antonio Spurs on Wednesday night. San Antonio turned the ball over with 3.9 seconds remaining, giving Oklahoma City the ball with the score tied. Dort's corner 3-pointer dropped as the buzzer sounded, and his teammates mobbed him. Dort, known mostly for his defense as a rookie last season, has improved as a perimeter shooter this season. He made three 3-pointers in the fourth quarter against the Spurs.

"It’s just him working hard, not getting down on himself, being confident. When you work hard, confidence comes with it because you believe in yourself." Gilgeous-Alexander became the first Thunder player to score at least 40 points in a game since Russell Westbrook had 42 on March 20, 2019. He made 13 of 20 field goals, 10 of 11 free throws and shot 6 of 11 on 3s. Gilgeous-Alexander was one of the NBA’s highest-scoring players to be left off the All-Star rosters, but he said there was "no extra push or anything like that" to score a lot of points and make a statement about being snubbed. "I wouldn’t have known how much I had if my teammates weren’t telling me," he said. "I was so locked into the game, honestly, just trying to win. Big nights are huge, but personally, if we didn’t win tonight, I wouldn’t feel close to what I feel right now." Dort and Al Horford each scored 16 points for the Thunder. Dejounte Murray had 27 points and Patty Mills added 15 for the Spurs. San Antonio hadn't played since Feb. 14 because of health and safety protocols, and the ...

Pope Francis’ New Physician Downplays Uniqueness of Coronavirus
ROME — Pope Francis’ new personal physician is a geriatric specialist who has downplayed the peculiarity of the coronavirus, calling it an “ordinary disease.” Vatican News announced Wednesday the pope has appointed Professor Roberto Bernabei as his new attending physician, following the death of his previous doctor, Professor Fabrizio Soccorsi, who died on January 9 from cancer and “complications related to the COVID-19.” For his part, Dr. Bernabei has underscored the virus’ predilection for the elderly, which makes it an “ordinary disease,” the National Catholic Register has pointed out. “If this disease targets old people it is a very serious thing, of course,” Bernabei said on Italian television last November. “But it is, so to speak, an ordinary disease. Unfortunately, infectious diseases attack the most fragile.” Bernabei also emphasized the importance of comorbidities, noting that the vast majority of Italians who died from the disease had two or three other chronic illnesses. “Only 0.2 percent of deaths have occurred to people under the age of 40,” he said. “Practically only and exclusively old people die,” he said, noting that “the average age” of those who had died “exceeds 80 years and they have at least three pathologies.” Originally from Tuscany, the 70-year-old Bernabei is a professor of Internal Medicine and Geriatrics at the Catholic University of the Sacred Heart in Rome as well as Director of the Department of Aging, Neurological, Orthopedic and Head and Neck Sciences of the Gemelli Polyclinic hospital in Rome. Among his new responsibilities as papal physician, Bernabei will be asked to accompany the pope on papal trips and will likely be joining Francis on his upcoming journey to Iraq.
