2 paramedics found guilty in death of Elijah McClain, who they injected with an overdose of ketamine

By COLLEEN SLEVIN and MATTHEW BROWN (Associated Press) BRIGHTON, Colo. (AP) — Two Denver-area paramedics were convicted Friday for giving a fatal overdose of the sedative ketamine to Elijah McClain in 2019 — a jury verdict that experts said could have a chilling effect on first responders around the country.

Winderman’s view: Heat keep foot on the gas, so no need for clutch vs. Magic

ORLANDO — Observations and other notes of interest from Wednesday night’s 115-106 victory over the Orlando Magic: – Building leads the Heat have been quite good at this season. – Retaining leads? Not so much. – That’s what made this one interesting as the lead moved into the 20s. – With Monday’s loss to the Timberwolves from 17 up still fresh in the mind. – For as many as the Heat have cycled through to start games this season, the overall record largely has been about the finishes. – In a season where there already have been a pair of blown 21-point leads, there rarely has been a sense of closure. –...

Heat push past absence of Butler, shove aside Magic 115-106 behind Herro’s 28

ORLANDO – The Miami Heat showed the ability to play quality ball against a quality opponent Monday night against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Wednesday night against the Orlando Magic, they did it again. The difference from that disheartening home loss two days earlier was that this time the Heat sustained long enough. After again thrusting to a sizable early lead, the Heat this time kept the pedal on the gas long enough to push to a 115-106 victory at Kia Center, with only a window-dressing rally by the Magic at the finish. With Jimmy Butler and Kevin Love sidelined, Tyler Herro seized control...
