Wolves win battle of Best in the West by shutting down Thunder

Body
With about two minutes remaining in the Timberwolves’ 107-101 victory over Oklahoma City, Anthony Edwards had the ball near midcourt and the Wolves ahead by two. In previous situations this month, Edwards might have dribbled the ball around until the shot clock wound down and taken a contested shot.

Some sports figures have high profile romances

Body
One of the side stories to this year’s NFL season has been the romance of singer Taylor Swift and Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce.

Dear Annie

Dear Annie: I just read the letter from “Anonymous” concerning his alcoholic wife and his inability to help her. This hit home for me 100%. Ten years ago, I divorced my alcoholic husband after 25 years of marriage (28 years together) due to his alcoholism.
