Former New York Knicks star Carmelo Anthony presented Bad Bunny with the Artist of the Year trophy on the stage there, and the musician soon performed his hit “Tití Me Preguntó” for the telecast.

The Badgers play pretty. Their center, All-American Frank Kaminsky, has the footwork of a dancer. Their small forward, Sam Dekker, shoots 3-pointers that look like rainbows. This is not what we are accustomed to from this program. We expect defense from Wisconsin basketball, defense played with the legs and not the hands, the hips and not the shoulders, but defense that nonetheless grinds the opposition toward agony.

Taking to the field from kick-off in Ryan Giggs’ first game as boss of the national team, Bale made an swift impact at Nanning’s Guangxi Sports Center Stadium by crafting an excellent second-minute solo goal.

In response, Minneapolis—and other jurisdictions—are calling for a ban on no-knock warrants, a type of search warrant which authorizes police officers to enter certain premises without first knocking and announcing their presence or purpose. Because no-knock warrants do not give individuals notice that it is the police at their door, or even a moment to prepare themselves—the execution of such warrants are far too likely to have tragic consequences. Breonna Taylor—and an estimated 30 to 40 individuals each year—have lost their lives as a result of botched executions of such warrants....
