The Warriors' trio of stars proved ineffective against the unavoidable outcome in their defeat.

  In Sacramento, as the final buzzer echoed and the Warriors faced defeat, there was no outburst of frustration, no defiant gestures, no disrespect towards their victorious opponents. Instead, there was a symbolic acknowledgment of the Sacramento Kings' triumph and a sober recognition of the inevitable reality that unfolded in a decisive 118-94 loss in the NBA Play-In Tournament on Tuesday night at Golden 1 Center. "We've been incredibly fortunate here with exceptional players, multiple championships, and appearances in the Finals," remarked coach Steve Kerr. "We've experienced the pinnacle of success. And now, this is the other side of the coin. This is life. This is the way things unfold. You can't remain at the top indefinitely." The illustrious recent history of the Golden State Warriors offered no advantage against the youthful, more determined Sacramento Kings in this play-in matchup.

Latest on the Manchester United takeover: Sheikh Jassim gets "big news"

The battle for control After the Glazer family declared that the club will be put up for sale, Manchester United has continued to advance.


As Easter weekend approaches, the takeover of Manchester United continues to go forward.

As of right now, three parties have expressed interest in purchasing United from the Glazer family. Sheikh Jassim of Qatar, Sir Jim Ratcliffe of INEOS, and Thomas Zilliacus, a businessman from Finland.

Recent modifications to the Premier League's owners and directors test, which determines who can take over operating a football team, were made public. Jassim has received some encouraging news from a football finance expert, contrary to certain predictions that the changes would spell doom for him.

The Premier League's modifications to the owners and directors test, according to football finance expert Kieran Maguire, won't have an impact on Jassim's attempt to acquire United. According to him, the modifications to the owners and directors test that were approved at the most recent Premier League meeting will have no bearing on a potential takeover of Manchester United.

"Sheikh Jassim, individuals from Saudi Arabia, or citizens of other Middle Eastern nations are unaffected by the reforms. The potential of being bought by Sheikh Jassim is exciting for Man United supporters, thus this is major news.

There won't be many people who could have previously purchased a Premier League club who can't now because of these changes, according to the suggestions.

Glazers is prepared to move forward.

Inviting the top bidders for negotiations in the next days, according to The Telegraph, the Glazer family want to probe deeper into proposals for Manchester United. Well-connected individuals in European football have raised concerns that the controversal owners may now be planning to keep complete control.

United sources, however, say that the Glazers will keep exploring all possibilities and will continue to be open-minded. The exact maximum price that Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad Al Thani and Sir Jim Ratcliffe are prepared to pay for an outright sale is likely to be a significant deciding factor.

Following the sale of the Denver Broncos American football franchise for £3.8 billion last year, it is thought that offers of $5 billion have already been made for a deal that would shatter the previous record for the price paid for a sports team.
