The TEN<\/p><\/div>\n

(“The TEN” is not a top ten but ten items worth being included in “The TEN”)<\/p>\n

1.)\u2014Clippers dedicate win to suspended owner Steve Ballmer.\u2014The Los Angeles Clippers beat the Sacramento Kings 121-96 behind Darius Garland\u2019s 30 points. Coach Ty Lue opened his postgame by saying the win was \u201cfor Mr. Ballmer,\u201d<\/em> who is serving a one-year suspension tied to the Kawhi Leonard salary-cap circumvention case.<\/p>\n

2.)\u2014NFL Thursday Night Football: Patriots at Bears. Both teams enter 4-2 for the 8:15 p.m. ET matchup on Prime Video. A ticket to see it in person at Soldier Field costs $736 (minimum).<\/p>\n

3.)\u2014Dubbed \u201cSnowtime\u201d by Shaquille O\u2019Neal, the Lakers rolled to a 127-105 victory over the Golden State Warriors in the opener for both teams on Wednesday night.<\/p>\n

4.)\u2014 The Minnesota Timberwolves got 45 from Anthony Edwards and beat the Miami Heat, 131-106, in Miami. Giannis Antetokounmpo scored 35 in his first game with the Heat, while LaMelo Ball, formerly of Charlotte, registered 21 points and 6 assists.<\/p>\n

5.)\u2014Legendary Dallas Cowboys safety\/cornerback Cornell Green dies at 86. The five-time Pro Bowler and Super Bowl winner was an All-American who played basketball at Utah State, but not a down in college football.<\/p>\n

6.)\u2014\u201cSo let me get this right if Mountain View beats Rosemead which their HC they beat when he was at Gabrielino MV will be in the playoffs cause they\u2019ll be at least #2 and playing for a league title against Arroyo in week 10? If so that\u2019s crazy.\u201d\u2014MVS commenter, \u201cWatcher.\u201d<\/p>\n

7.)\u2014On this date in 1974, the Los Angeles Rams traded quarterback John Hadl, 34, to the Green Bay Packers for five draft picks \u2014 the Packers\u2019 1st-, 2nd-, and 3rd-round picks in 1975, plus their 1st- and 2nd-round picks in 1976 (specifically, the 9th, 28th, and 61st overall in 1975, and the 8th and 39th in 1976).<\/p>\n

8.)\u2014New Lakers center Walker Kessler went 12-for-12 from the field in his debut. Shaq dubbed him, \u201cMilk Chamberlain.\u201d<\/p>\n

9.)\u2014\u201cI had a lot of respect for him [because] I didn\u2019t really watch the NBA much. I just watched highlights and seen him kill people. But being in it firsthand and seeing all the whining and complaining, I lost all respect.\u201d<\/em>\u2014Warriors rookie Yaxel Lendeborg on Luka Doncic.<\/p>\n

10.)\u2014\u201cI told him he sucks. He can\u2019t score on me.\u201d<\/em>\u2014Yaxel Lendeborg to Luka Doncic, who finished with 28 points, 8 rebounds, 7 assists.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
