What Had Happened Was: 11/17/16

Oh, you don’t know? We got you.

GAME. BLOUSES.

On Wednesday night, the Los Angeles Clippers and Memphis Grizzlies had an epic game that went down to the wire. With the score at 107-106 in favor of the Clippers, Memphis guard Mike Conley made a beautiful pass to Marc Gasol in the corner.

BANG.

On the Clippers’ last possession, guard J.J Redick lost the ball and the Grizzlies hung on to take down the previously one-loss Clippers.

SOCIAL STATUS

The Minnesota officer who killed motorist Philando Castile at a traffic stop in July was charged with second-degree manslaughter on Wednesday. Video and dashcam footage showed that the shooting was unjustified, a Ramsey County attorney said at a news conference. The officer will not be arrested and put in jail, however. He will appear in court for the first time on Friday.
