Elsewhere in sports, Yannis out in a combo had 41 points, 9 rebounds and 8 assists as the box beat the Bulls 122, 106.

Brooke Lopez scored 21 points in the game.

We're obviously in a fortunate situation where we got not just one guy that can do that, but two guys that can do that any given night.

And obviously Yannis was just the best player on the planet, you know, leading us through that third quarter.

And then, you know, we need him to do that and he's always been there for us.

Coach Shock Rivers says the team needs to leave its foot on the gas.

The little upset at halftime because it's our second quarter.

That's like the third time, like to me, think we were up 12.

I don't even mean 11, but it should have been 20.

And those are the little things.

That's how you let a team back in the game.

And so that's our next down.

Yannis says the team continues to work hard to get better.

We just got to put it together.

Like everybody's willing to do that, I think.

We just got to put it together and make this group believe that we have something special.

Like it does look good right now.

We didn't start it as well, but we have something special going on.

Like we have what it takes to go and try to compete for something, you know.

But from the working aspect, I mean, probably this is one of the hardest working group of being a part.

The box host Charlotte on Saturday, other games in the NBA Cleveland 128, New Orleans 100, Oklahoma City over Portland,

199, 99, Houston 130, Indiana 113, Memphis 117, Philadelphia 111, Golden State beat Atlanta 120 to 97,

New York 138, Phoenix 122, and the Clippers 104 or Lando 93.

Injuries to several 49ers starters could impact Sunday's game with the Packers.

Quarterback Brock Purdy was a limited participant in practice Wednesday.

Defensive and Nick Boza is sidelined with hip and oblique injuries and he may be less than 50-50 for the game.

Tied in George Kittle missed the last game against Seattle, but should be available this weekend.

Like Purdy, he was limited Wednesday and running back Christian McCaffrey did not practice.

Green Bay quarterback Jordan Love was asked if the offense seems to be getting better.

I don't know. I mean, I think we're really good offense regardless.

But I think obviously just going to move around, make plays outside of the, you know, on schedule plays is definitely a big part of our offense.

And I think we can do that. We have more explosive plays that we're capable of, but I think we're a good offense or robust.

The Niners have knocked the Packers out of the playoffs in recent times and Love was asked if there was revenge on the minds of the Packers.

No, definitely. I mean, just then being the team that knocked us out last year definitely plays a factor.

But I think the day, like you said, NFC opponent and obviously we've had a lot of, you know, since I've been here,

we've had a lot of games against the Niners. So I want to go out there and get this win.

The NFL weekend begins with Pittsburgh at Cleveland coming up this evening.

Also last night in college basketball in state River Falls was a winner over St. Olaf 69 to 50.

Ashkosh beat Carol 83, 64, Platteville 85 Carthage 72, Whitewater over Aurora, Illinois 75, 72,

and Wisconsin defeated Minnesota and college women's volleyball three sets to two in a close one last night between the two rivals.

The white socks have hired the Brewers run prevention coordinator Walker McKinvin.

He will serve as bench coach as the socks are assembling a new staff.

The announcement was made Tuesday. McKinvin had been with Milwaukee since 2016, starting as an advance scout.

The Brewers made it to the postseason six times in his eight seasons.

The white socks are coming up the worst season by any major league baseball team in history when they lost 121 games.
