Best game: Warriors 123, Pelicans 119 (OT)

Dick Wolf is going to write an "SVU" episode about what the Warriors did to the Pelicans on Thursday. That was a flat-out abduction. The Pels were up 20 in the fourth quarter. The Warriors were shooting under 40 percent from the field. Dubs not named Stephen Curry or Klay Thompson had combined for exactly zero 3-pointers.A Pelicans victory seemed inevitable. But the Warriors outscored New Orleans 39-19 in the fourth, capped with Curry's late three — he finished with 40.

Why the Pelicans didn’t foul up three with less than 10 seconds left in regulation is confusing.Why they ran risky out-of-bounds play after risky out-of-bounds play, lucking out of not one but two turnovers in the final minutes of the fourth is confusing.Why their crunch-time offense got away from Anthony Davis, who finished with 29 points and 15 boards, confusing. Why they took 10 seconds to foul Curry when they were down three with the shot clock turned off in OT, confusing. But each of those things has been a theme in the Big Easy all year. Condolences, Pels fans. The 67-win Warriors have gotten the better of pretty much everyone this season. If anyone is coming back from 20 down to seize a playoff win and take a 3-0 series lead, it's the top-seeded Warriors.

Wenger and Arsenal stuck together in defeat

COMMENT: Wednesday's 3-1 defeat to Monaco has left the Frenchman on the brink of his most embarrassing European exit and the sense is of a coach who has reached his ceiling By Liam Twomey As the dust settled on another Arsenal humiliation and criticism poured in from all sides, the most damning words of all flowed from Arsene Wenger . He spoke of “suicidal” defending, a collective loss of nerve and the heart ruling the head before touching on a favourite theme. “Mentally we were not ready or sharp enough to get into this game,” he admitted. “We paid for it.” Mentality is something Wenger talks about a lot, in victory and defeat. Nor is it idle talk – renowned French psychologist Jacques Crevoisier has regularly been employed to work with Arsenal players in recent years, and in 2010 he subjected the entire squad to a psychometric test designed to measure all the mental qualities required of an elite athlete. Nicklas Bendtner famously scored 10 out of nine for ...

The Exercise That Will Smoke Your Six Pack

The Exercise That Will Smoke Your Six Pack For a greater challenge to the classic plank, take your workout sideways with the lateral crawl. “It’s essentially a sideways moving plank,” says Sam Stauffer, an expert trainer for Men’s Health Thrive , a cutting-edge functional training system. “When you move side-to-side you have to take a hand and foot off of the floor at the same time,” says Stauffer. “This causes instability that your abs have to fight against to keep your body in a straight line from head to toe.” The benefit: Your core gets stronger, from every angle. Perform just a few yards in each direction to wake up your abs before your workout, or go for 30 to 60 seconds to ignite a deeper burn in your six-pack. Keep in mind, the exercise only “works” if you do it right. Sloppy technique—the kind you often see people using with conventional planks—won’t provide the results you want. So watch the video above to learn how to perform the lateral crawl with perfect ...

You don’t have to visit France to find out their beauty tips, though. I’ve got some of the most awesome French beauty tips that you may want to incorporate into your beauty routine. 1.
