Now, even at .500 and in the thick of the playoff race, the Bulls are a seething mess. They blew the one chance they had at giving Hoiberg a clean slate, last offseason, and now are trying to dig their way out of a hole. They’ve already banished Rajon Rondo, one of their top free-agent acquisitions this summer, from the rotation, and they are, according to Bleacher Report, making Jimmy Butler available in a trade ahead of next month’s deadline....

“Nobody has ever responded to an epidemic perfectly,” Dr. Michael Ryan, executive director, of the World Health Organization’s Emergencies Programme said on Thursday. “This is the real world we live in. Every emergency response is dotted with missed opportunities.” The virus has infected more than 95,000 people in more than 70 countries, killing more than 3,100, since it was identified in December, according to WHO. China’s taken the brunt of the impact with more than 80,000 cases and 3,015 deaths....

RELATED: As Dusk Falls Shows The Importance Of Game Pass For Indie Games Unlike other branching narrative games like The Dark Pictures Anthology or even some of Telltale’s releases, As Dusk Falls does not present choices - known as “Crossroads” in-game - as being “good” or “bad.” Each decision players make will have various ripple effects, but they all result in both positive and negative outcomes. As such, this list doesn’t indicate which choices players should make, but instead simply singles out the most significant decisions that will need to be made as the narrative plays out....

Day 1 completely belonged to the Aussies as they grabbed nine English wickets while conceding 238 runs. While the bowling looked extremely penetrative, most English players were guilty of injudicious shot selection. Here are the heroes for the day: Nathan Lyon (4/42 in 20 overs; 1 catch) The off-spinner extracted good turn from the surface as he troubled the English batsmen with his bag of tricks and an immaculate line....

To put things in perspective, these collapses should be pitched against the 1242 runs that England’s last five wickets added in their home summer across 12 innings at 103.5. That average has shrunk to 41.25 on this tour. Another noticeable fact and the one that would partially explain these collapses is that Ben Stokes had scored 38% of these last-five runs. A tally of 469 runs at 39 last summer not only made the exiled all-rounder the lynchpin of England’s lineup but also helped save several lower-order collapses and turned them into match-winning positions....

Lyon is no Shane Warne, but it may surprise some people that he has recently taken over the former Australian great Hugh Trumble in his Test wickets tally. His role has not been limited to just cleaning up the tail after the fast bowlers are done with leading batsmen. In fact, he has been consistently troubling the accomplished batsmen. Lyon was particularly lethal in England’s first innings of the Edgbaston Test....

Electing to bat, Hong Kong folded for a paltry 116 in 37.1 overs, courtesy Usman’s 3 for 19 and two-wicket hauls by Shadab Khan (2/31) and Hasan Ali (2/19). Pakistan then returned to overhaul the target, scoring 120 for 2 in 23.4 overs, built mainly around opener Imam’s 69-ball unbeaten 50 that was laced with three fours and a six. Chasing 117 to win, Pakistan made a good start with Imam and Fakhar Zaman sharing a 41-run partnership in 8 overs for the opening wicket....

One goal each in both the halves ensured that the hosts get to the top of the table with 4 points, while India dropped down to the second position in Group A. However, a win or even a draw against UAE would have eased the proceedings against Bahrain. The two moments of shock for India came in the 41st minute, from Khalfan Mubarak and in the 88th minute from Ahmed Mabkhout, two situations where the Indian defence should have raised the standards....

However, it’s no secret that Assassin’s Creed isn’t always faithful to the real-world version of events. For one thing, all of the protagonists are entirely fictional characters, so that’s changing history in the simplest way. Additionally, the entire plotline with the Isu is all fiction too. What’s interesting is the subtle (or not so subtle) ways in which Ubisoft changed some events to fit their stories better. RELATED: The Case For Assassin’s Creed Infinity To Go To Japan...
