Rozier, Hornets snap 4-game skid, beat Blazers 109-101
Rozier knew the Hornets needed a win as they fight to earn a top-six seed in the playoffs and avoid a play-in game situation. The Hornets charged to an early lead, building a 43-18 lead in the first quarter behind 17 points on 7-of-8 shooting from Rozier. Rozier, despite the focus of the Blazers defense, also had six assists in the quarter, meaning he either scored or assisted on 31 of Charlotte's 44 first quarter points. As a team, Charlotte shot 77.3% in the opening quarter with Rozier and Bridges combining to go 6 of 6 from 3-point range. But the Blazers battled back and cut the lead to nine with 3 1/2 minutes remaining behind four forth-quarter 3-pointers from Anthony.

Federal turf wars over coronavirus rescues created ‘health and safety issues,’ watchdog concludes
AdvertisementStory continues below advertisementThe health agencies “operated independently of each other without coordinating their efforts at March Air Reserve Base,” the GAO concluded. The resulting confusion meant health officials were still scrambling to make key decisions when hundreds of Wuhan returnees began arriving at March Air Reserve Base, GAO auditors determined. The confusion led to safety failures at the base, the GAO said, with the watchdog faulting health officials for “inconsistent use” of protective equipment when working with the Wuhan evacuees. Defense Department officials at the base also experienced “confusion and frustration” in trying to coordinate with health officials, the GAO said. AdvertisementA former health official said the GAO report was further evidence of the fumbled response to the early coronavirus outbreak.

New Week! New Recipes!
It’s a new week filled with new recipes and the joy of discovering older ones, and if I generally meet Mondays with a kind of empty sorrow — the weekend gone and still no newsroom into which to travel, another day at home at the same desk in the same empty room — this day, I’m elated. Melissa Clark greets the season this week with her recipe for rhubarb cobbler (above). Speaking of tricks, Rachel Wharton wrote a fascinating article this week, about the magical properties of hot water in the creation of doughs and pastries. Three recipes come with it: for a samosa pie; for handvo, a savory vegetable semolina bread from the Indian state of Gujarat; and for the Chinese scallion pancakes known as chung yul bang. And Yotam Ottolenghi addresses the leek, one of the biggest stars of the allium family, with a delightful recipe for a leek and lentil stew that you’ll maybe want to make once a week for a time.

October Comes Early for Dodgers and Padres
SAN DIEGO — In April there is no red, white and blue bunting hanging anywhere quite yet, but you could have fooled San Diego’s most enthusiastic baseball fans over the weekend. They streamed into the Gaslamp Quarter and Petco Park clothed in brown and mustard, limited only by their imaginations. Baseball’s most anticipated rivalry in 2021 — the dominating, blue-blooded Los Angeles Dodgers and the class-climbing, blue-collar San Diego Padres — began with a 12-inning bang on Friday; continued with a thriller on Saturday that culminated in a diving, fully extended, game-saving catch in center field by the Dodgers’ Mookie Betts; and played through the Padres’ stirring three-run eighth to avoid a sweep on Sunday. The clubs move north to Dodger Stadium for four more games beginning on Thursday and, if the rest of their 16 games play out as the weekend’s did, it is going to be some kind of fun.

As Covid-19 Stimulus Wanes, Distressed M&A Deals Loom
Going forward, corporate divestitures may be driven by financial distress as Covid-19 relief funding tapers off, according to several deal makers interviewed by Mergermarket. That sale alone marked a larger value than every quarter in the last 15 years except for the second quarter of 2007. However, the number of companies rated B- or lower with a negative outlook by S&P Global is increasing, Belenky said, a signal that distressed companies are out there and may soon look to transact. The surge comes as the U.S. had an active quarter for M&A overall and record-breaking deal values. The first three months of the year saw 1,595 deals for total value of $563.2 billion, compared with 1,708 deals for $554 billion last quarter, according to Mergermarket data.
