Marcus Morris faced similar questions following the Celtics’ 115-96 loss to the Spurs on Sunday, one that elicited boos from the TD Garden crowd. Much like Brown, he didn’t have any great explanations to offer. MORE: Marcus Smart puts positive spin on Celtics’ losses “It’s funny because everyone always asks me, ‘What’s wrong, man? Why is it not working?’” Morris told The Athletic’s Jay King. “And you can’t really put your finger on it....

Boston made a hot start, outscoring Cleveland 36-18 in the first quarter, and never looked back as the Celtics drew first blood in the NBA playoffs on Sunday. The Celtics led the Cavaliers 61-35 at half-time, marking the largest ever deficit by a LeBron James team in a playoff game. BROWN HAS EMERGED When the Celtics selected Jaylen Brown third overall in the 2016 NBA Draft many wondered how long it would take for him to make an impact....

The Boston Celtics nearly let a large lead slip away as Kyrie Irving started to take over Game 1 in the fourth quarter. Irving poured in 18 of his 39 points in the final frame alone, giving the Brooklyn Nets a one-point lead with under 15 seconds remaining. The Nets looked like they were going to take Game 1 on the road and stun Boston’s home crowd until Jayson Tatum hit an acrobatic layup as time expired to win the game for the Celtics....

Berman claimed that his company had developed a test that could detect COVID-19 from a drop of blood within 15 seconds. Berman told investors via press releases that the test would be ready for the commercial market in the summer of 2020 and raised millions of dollars in funds to support the product. However, the promised testing kits did not exist. According to Berman’s indictment, which was unsealed Friday, DECN “did not have a product that could test for COVID-19 using a blood sample, much less one that would accurately test for COVID-19 in less than 15 seconds....

“This will be the most vulnerable thing I’ll ever share. I’ve gone back and forth whether to post this or not. We just had to layoff a few of our employees. I’ve seen a lot of layoffs over the last few weeks on LinkedIn,” Wallake wrote on LinkedIn on Tuesday. “Most of those are due to the economy, or whatever other reason. Ours? My fault.” The news about HyperSocial employees came amid a prediction of a wave of layoffs as a second consecutive quarter of gross domestic product (GDP) decline pushed the U....

Manchester City faltered in their pursuit of neighbours Manchester United, leaving the latter the opportunity to reopen a 7-point gap over the reigning champions. This was largely due to some heroic ‘keeping from QPR’s former Inter Milan custodian, Julio Cesar, while QPR themselves had a few gilt edged chances which went begging. All in all, a further step towards safety for QPR, under Harry Redknapp, while at the same time, a blow to City’s title aspirations....

Johnson said he wanted to don a sweater in order to fight Bruins defenseman Zdeno Chára and left winger Milan Lucic. Fans responded to Johnson on Twitter, which he took with the proper amount of attitude as he propped up the rivalry. This, of course, is playful posturing as Johnson tries to endear himself to fans and find a home in Montreal in coming seasons. Currently, the only hockey-related problem Johnson has is finding someone to play him on NHL ‘15....

Regarding the reason for the attack, it seems the hacker is angry about the recent failure of Cyberpunk 2077, as CD Projekt Red released the game before it was finished and ended up having to remove it from certain markets. That said, this could just be a front, as some experts say it likely has nothing to do with this and that narrative is instead being used to drum up support or sympathy from the public....

In February, the CDC released mental health data collected during the first few months of the pandemic, April and May 2020. Rates of depression, substance use, and suicidal thoughts increased across the board during this time, compared to 2019 data. But individuals who were “Hispanic and/or Latino” reported higher rates in all three mental health areas. They reported symptoms of current depression 59% more frequently than non-Hispanic White adults. They also experienced suicidal thoughts/ideation two to four times as much as other demographic groups and increased or newly initiated substance use twice as much....

The December report, which is from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) Vital Signs, found that from 2010 to 2019, the number of new HIV infections remained relatively stable in Black (from 9,000 to 8,900) and Hispanic (from 6,800 to 7,900) gay and bisexual men. However, cases declined significantly for White gay and bisexual men (from 7,500 to 5,100). The report found that Black and Hispanic men were less likely to be diagnosed with HIV, undergo treatment to suppress the virus, or use pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) to prevent it, compared to White men....

The new data shows that Black Americans are diagnosed with HIV at a rate that’s about four times higher than rates for all other racial groups combined. Black adults accounted for 43% of the nation’s HIV diagnoses. Additionally, the CDC found that rates of new HIV diagnoses among Black adults were higher in communities with the highest social vulnerability index (SVI). This index uses census data to determine the potential negative effects on the health of communities that are caused by external factors and stressors, such as natural or human-induced disasters and disease outbreaks....

He made the comments after the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) said pharmacists could administer children with routine vaccines, including the flu shot, amid falling uptake during the pandemic. Speaking to Howard Bauchner, the editor of the Journal of the American Medical Association on Thursday, Redfield said: “I think this fall nothing can be more important than to try to increase the American public’s decision to embrace flu vaccine with confidence....

Last September, two American companies—Illumina, Inc and GRAIL—filed with the FTC for merger approval. GRAIL was spun out of Illumina to pursue the “holy grail” of a multi-cancer diagnostic blood test. Cancer is the number-two killer, and its treatment is the number-two cost, in the U.S. health system. GRAIL succeeded, and can now detect 70 types of cancer in a blood test, 50 of which have no other means for early detection....

Not to be confused with its French relative, Champagne, prosecco is a style of sparkling wine original to Italy. The winemaking process and rules for the two bubblies are different: Only sparkling wine made with grapes from the French region of Champagne can be called Champagne, for example, while prosecco is primarily made with Italian Glera grapes. It’s also traditionally produced using the tank method, while most Champagne wineries follow the classic method....

The yellow shoes don’t have too many customizations, it seems, except for eight Jibbitz, or pegs that are pushed into the Croc holes. One, in particular, is large and reads “Drew,” a reference to Bieber’s fashion line Drew House. As for why Beiber partnered with Crocs when he’s already got his own corner of the fashion world, he claimed he wears the shoes all the time, and just wanted to “[focus] on making something cool that I want to wear,” he said in a statement....
