BERLIN (AP) — The Bundesliga isn’t over yet.Karim Adeyemi and Jude Bellingham both scored twice for Borussia Dortmund to send a message to league leader Bayern Munich with a 6-0 rout of Wolfsburg on Sunday.Sébastien Haller and Donyell Malen also scored as Dortmund restored the one-point gap on Bayern with three rounds of the league remaining.Bayern, the 10-time defending champion, had stretched its lead to four points with a win over Werder Bremen on Saturday — piling the pressure on Dortmund, which lost the lead last weekend with a 1-1 draw in Bochum.Wolfsburg hadn’t conceded at all in its previous three games, and clocked eight goals of its own in the last two.But Adeyemi got Dortmund on its way with the opener in the 14th minute, leaping high to beat a defender to Julian Ryerson’s cross, then setting up Haller for the second in the 29th. Inbetween the goals, Dortmund needed goalkeeper Gregor Kobel at his best to deny Patrick Wimmer in a one-on-one with Mats Hummels throwing...

Stefan Bondy: Knicks are toast if Julius Randle doesn’t get out of his playoff funk

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 16:09:52 GMT

MIAMI — The difference was there on Saturday. Obvious to the eye.Jimmy Butler, a competitor and clutch performer at his core, returning from an ankle injury, embracing and enjoying the moment, carrying the Miami Heat because victory was non-negotiable.Smart, deliberate, winning basketball.On the other side was New York’s All-Star, Julius Randle, settling for difficult shots and misfiring, moving at ¾ speed on defense and carrying the posture of a player ready for Cabo.The Game 3 blowout loss ended for Randle, fittingly, with a missed 3-pointer and a South Beach stroll back on defense, allowing Miami’s Cody Zeller to leak out for a breakaway dunk. Randle was immediately subbed out and his latest playoff dud was complete: 10 points, 4-of-15 shooting, four turnovers and two assists.At the risk of invading Captain Obvious’s turf, the Knicks need more from Randle. They got through the first round because Jalen Brunson was brilliant, Mitchell Robinson dominate...

We could be seeing the northern lights more often: Here's why

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 16:09:52 GMT

(NEXSTAR) - In recent weeks, states as far south as Alabama have had the chance to view a relatively rare night-sky occurrence: the northern lights. Thanks to some ongoing solar activity, the celestial event may be more common in the coming months. Late last month, a severe geomagnetic storm erupted after a coronal mass ejection and minor solar flare were detected on the Sun. Coronal mass ejections, or CMEs, are explosions of plasma and magnetic material from the sun that can reach Earth in as little as 15 to 18 hours, NOAA explains. Solar flares and CMEs (which can occur at the same time) can impact navigation, communication and radio signals on Earth, and CMEs are able to create a stunning show in the night sky. According to NASA, CMEs can create currents in Earth’s magnetic fields that send particles to the North and South Poles. When those particles interact with oxygen and nitrogen, they can create auroras.Another CME was forecasted to impact Earth in early ...
