Chicago Bulls play their best game of the season — an OT win against the Milwaukee Bucks — without Zach LaVine and DeMar DeRozan

Alex Caruso is beginning to feel casual about being clutch.The guard didn’t hesitate when he shimmied away from Brook Lopez and pulled up to drain a 3-pointer, beating the buzzer by a half-second to send the Chicago Bulls into overtime against the Milwaukee Bucks on Thursday at the United Center.The play wasn’t drawn up to give Caruso the shot. But in the moment it just felt natural for Caruso, who has played the savior three times this season.“That shot, I don’t think it’s that difficult,” Caruso said. “I shoot that a lot in the summer playing open gym and then playing in August and September when we come back with the guys. I just don’t get the opportunity to shoot a lot of those because usually I’m the guy taking the ball out, so I was excited to shoot it.”The Bulls finally found a small sense of cohesion in the 120-113 overtime victory. All it took was the absence of their two biggest stars.Zach LaVine and DeMar DeRozan...A Social Life?! In This Economy?!

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — As world leaders gathered for the COP28 climate summit in Dubai, the collapse of a cease-fire in the Israel-Hamas war Friday plunged the conflict back into open combat and cast a long shadow over the talks. Israel’s top diplomat for the Middle East huddled with leaders at the summit as his colleagues went through a book of posters of those held hostage by the militant group Hamas, placing yellow “released” stickers by some while looking at others still held. Meanwhile, just a street away at the Palestinian territories’ first-ever pavilion, an official gave a horrified look when Associated Press journalists gave her the news that Israeli airstrikes and ground fighting in the Gaza Strip had resumed. Even United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres brought up the fighting in his remarks at a COP conference meant to focus on restraining global warming. “As we see in this region, conflicts are causing immense suffering and intense emot...One person in critical condition after vehicle crashes into pole in Brampton

DEIR AL-BALAH, Gaza Strip (AP) — Israeli fighter jets hit targets in the Gaza Strip minutes after a weeklong truce expired on Friday, as the war with Hamas resumed in full force. Black smoke billowed from the besieged territory and Israel dropped leaflets over parts of southern Gaza urging people to leave their homes, suggesting it was preparing to widen its offensive.Renewed hostilities heightened concerns for the about 140 hostages who remain in Gaza, after more than 100 were freed as part of the truce. Qatar, which has served as a mediator along with Egypt, said negotiators from both sides were still trying to reach an agreement on restarting the ceasefire.The resumption of hostilities “complicates mediation efforts and exacerbates the humanitarian catastrophe,” Qatar's Foreign Ministry said.Palestinians visit their houses destroyed in the Israeli bombings in Al-Zahra, on the outskirts of Gaza City, on Thursday, Nov. 30, 2023. during the temporary ceasefire between Hamas and Isra...Stretch of 70s with little chance for rain
