Not from Wilt Chamberlain. Not from Michael Jordan. Not from Kobe Bryant. Not from LeBron James. Prior to the All-Star break, DeRozan surpassed Chamberlain for the longest stretch in NBA history with at least 35 points while shooting at least 50 percent from the field at seven games. The All-Star break couldn’t cool him off, as DeRozan expanded on that streak in his first game back. NBA LEAGUE PASS: Sign up to unlock live out-of-market games (7-day free trial)...

Bayern Munich took another step towards their title defence after establishing a 10-point advantage atop the standings here on Saturday. The German giants lacked in penetration against Schalke’s well-organised defense in the first half but after the restart the hosts turned up to score three goals within 19 minutes, reports Xinhua news agency. The Bundesliga leaders took the reins from the kick-off as Douglas Costa almost scored the opener from close range following a rebound with two minutes on the clock....

According to Bungie, the Annual Pass will include three premium content releases: Black Armory in Winter 2018, Joker’s Wild in Spring 2019, and Penumbra in Summer 2019. These content packs will come with more activities, more gear to collect, new and returning exotics, more endgame challenges, raid lairs, and more lore to find throughout the game. Fans were worried that seasonal events would be tied to the Annual Pass, but it appears that special and seasonal events, like the Faction Rally event, will be available to all Destiny 2 owners....

Speculation has surrounded Destiny, and its possible relation to the company’s past projects since it was first trademarked alongside strange iconography seen being sported by Bungie employees. Since then only rumors and theories have shed any light on the game’s direction (or even genre). Bungie isn’t taking the lid off of the project any time soon, but are getting increasingly cryptic. Few developers can put a t-shirt up for sale sporting a completely unknown logo for a completely unknown game and have it sell well, but the minds behind Halo are certainly capable....

The home side come into the game on the back of a narrow 1-0 loss to Eibar at the same ground last weekend. Jose Corpas scored the match-winning goal in the 76th minute to help the visitors secure all three points. Real Valladolid picked up a 2-0 away victory over Lugo. Shon Weissman and Toni Villa scored in either half to give their side the win. That victory helped Blanquivioletas / Albivioletas climb up to second place in the table with seven points picked up from three games....

The Republic of Ireland international has been with Burnley since he joined from Cork City in January 2010, starting 16 Premier League games last term. Despite his Premier League action being restricted to one substitute appearance this season, Burnley’s longest serving player is thrilled to have extended his contract for the second year in a row. “Ever since I’ve been here the club has gone from strength to strength,” Long, 28, told Burnley’s website....

Burrow passed for 292 yards and three touchdowns, rushed for 96 yards and another score, and No. 5 LSU routed the Rebels 45-16 on Saturday night. It was an encouraging sight for the Tigers as the toughest part of their schedule nears. “LSU used to be a running offense,” said receiver Justin Jefferson, who had five catches for 99 yards and two touchdowns, and was one of nine Tigers with a reception....

What really mattered to Kyle Busch, though, was the chance to get some more competitive laps at Kansas Speedway going into the Sprint Cup race Sunday. “Some good things happened today that I was able to pick up on,” Busch said after making a late pass on Kevin Harvick and then holding on down the stretch. “Just the way the car drove, and the way we were able to make different lanes work, whether it was on restarts or whether it was during the race, picking off traffic....

Spearheaded by recipe creator Justine Doiron, the now-viral “butter board” has become the go-to for thousands of millennial dinner parties—presenting butter pushed onto a board and covered with herbs, edible flowers, and whatever else takes your fancy. Millions have rushed to re-create the appealing (and Instagramable) treat. But now there’s a new kid on the block—the mashed potato board. Earlier in October, videos started popping up on TikTok as foodies brought a carbohydrate-heavy twist to the butter board trend....

Among the pain points it tackles are racism, communicating with immigrant parents, the acceptance of one’s self and origins, and more - all packed in a game that fully wraps in just a few hours. Asian-American representation is a big aspect of Butterfly Soup 2, possibly even more than in the first game, and creator Brianna Lei tried to produce a story that tackles heavy topics while retaining the overall positivity of its first chapter....

When asked by event host Erin Burnett to respond to Limbaugh’s recent comments about his sexual orientation, Buttigieg, an openly gay presidential candidate, said: “The idea of the likes of Rush Limbaugh or Donald Trump lecturing anybody on family values. I mean, sorry but, one thing about my marriage is it’s never involved me sending hush money to a porn star after cheating on my spouse.” Buttigieg’s remarks were in reference to an alleged affair between President Donald Trump and adult film actress Stormy Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford....

Barring the Asian junior champion Lakshya Sen, none of the other Indians could fetch a win for the team. The tie began with the mixed doubles match in which the Indian pair of Tanisha Crasto and Dhruv Kapila fought valiantly only to taste a 22-20, 14-21, 12-21 defeat against the Korean combine of Na Eun Jeong and Chan Wang. It was then left to Lakshya to get one win back for India....

The Mavs have been one of the hottest teams in the league since the turn of the New Year, and are currently 11-4 in their last 15 games, following the 112-105 win over the Clippers. Over that stretch, their All-Star point guard Luka Doncic has also enjoyed one of his best stretches of the season as well, averaging almost a triple-double over that span. The Slovenian has put up numbers of 30....

This past week on WWE RAW, AJ Styles, who is a babyface on the brand, attacked Seth Rollins backstage and said he did it for Cody Rhodes. Rollins had viciously attacked Rhodes a week earlier, despite The American Nightmare suffering a painful pec injury. Speaking on the Busted Open podcast, Bully Ray suggested that WWE should keep the Cody Rhodes story alive by having babyfaces attack Seth Rollins on RAW....

Bayern have strengthened their defence during the close season, but they are a little light in attack following the departures of Franck Ribery, Arjen Robben and James Rodriguez. Will that give other teams, namely last term’s runners-up Borussia Dortmund, an opportunity to catch Niko Kovac’s side? The transfer window does not shut until September 2 but, ahead of the opening round of fixtures, we look at the five best signings made by Bundesliga clubs....

Many Destiny 2 Crucible players have noted issues with items like Lord of Wolves or the damage reduction coming from Omnioculus, and some of those individuals started harassing Bungie developers for answers and fixes. The situation got worse when Bungie’s recent TWAB posts didn’t mention much about PvP changes except for a small preview of the patch coming out with the Solstice event tomorrow. However, this is understandable on Bungie’s part after the Twilight Garrison incident, which led to a sandbox developer interrupting communication with fans after receiving death threats and abuse....

As it turns out, the Xenophage exotic heavy machine gun is not intentionally disappointing. Confirmed by Bungie Community Manager Cozmo, the new Destiny 2 exotic is not performing as intended and the developers are investigating. RELATED: Xenophage Exotic Heavy Machine Gun Review Some Destiny 2 players might assume “not performing as intended” means that the Xenophage is supposed to deal precision damage when hitting a crit spot on an enemy....
