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.

Congress is dealing with the issue of foreign aid following the Iran attack.

After prolonged postponement, House Republicans announced on Monday their intention to adopt a new strategy to pass billions of dollars in foreign aid. They plan to vote on four separate bills that address various intricate foreign policy objectives.
