Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:10:59 GMT

DENVER (AP) — If the Denver Nuggets can continue their dominance at Ball Arena, they’ll not only conquer LeBron James and Anthony Davis but they’ll also vanquish the ghosts of their horrendous playoff performances against the Los Angeles Lakers.The Nuggets have lost all seven playoff series against the Lakers in their history, including inside the NBA bubble in 2020. They meet for the fourth time in the Western Conference finals beginning Tuesday night in Denver.

The Lakers have gone on to win an NBA championship eac...

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:10:59 GMT

DOVER, Del. (AP) — Delaware’s Supreme Court on Monday overturned a judge’s ruling upholding a decision by state officials to prohibit electric vehicle maker Tesla from selling its cars directly to customers.In a ruling last year, a Superior Court judge determined that Delaware’s Motor Vehicle Franchising Practices Act prohibited Tesla, as a manufacturer, from selling its electric cars directly to customers in Delaware.The Supreme Court reversed that decision and sent the case back to Superior Court, noting that the franchise act was enacted to address the disparity in bargaining power that permitted automobile manufacturers to exert economic pressure over their franchises. The justices said the law’s definitions exclude Tesla because the company sells its vehicles directly to consumers without using independent franchise dealers.“It bears repeating that the Franchise Act regulates the business relationship between a manufacturer and a dealer,” wrote Chief Justice Collins Seitz...
