Minnesota’s bench has been up and down this season, with some questions about where the offensive production would come from. But the answer to that query clarifies with each passing game: Naz Reid.The reserve big man reminded everyone again just how dynamic he can be on any given night — and how capable he is of carrying a second unit or, on a bigger level, a team.Reid did the latter Thursday, pouring in 27 points on the strength of seven triples — which tied a franchise record off the bench — to guide the Timberwolves to a 119-101 victory in Dallas.“It was feeling good,” Reid said in his postgame on-court interview. “Last couple games, it hasn’t been to the level that it is, but that’s part of the game. You go through ups and downs, and it was going tonight. My teammates kept finding me, and I was able to find those shots.”Timberwolves coach Chris Finch said Reid is Minnesota’s “best bench producer.”“And does it in ...

80s synth-pop pioneers Men Without Hats release new music, set to play Anaheim

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 18:07:17 GMT

Every generation naturally feels as if the music of their youth was the best era of them all. As more time elapses, however, it becomes hard to deny the oversized influence and enduring appeal of the 1980s.From arena-packing hard rock acts like Def Leppard, Mötley Crüe and Journey, to new wave pioneers The Cure, Duran Duran and U2, cassette-hoarding kids of the 80s never need to revisit the music from their childhood - because it never went away.Many of the top acts from that era are still enjoying heavy rotation on the radio and still packing venues across the U.S. and around the globe. Case in point: Depeche Mode’s recent four-night residency in Los Angeles (two nights at the Kia Forum and two nights at Crypto.com Arena).Carved into the Mount Rushmore of 1980s hits is “The Safety Dance” from Canadian synth-pop band Men Without Hats. The complex analog anthem and its quirky video took the world by storm, landing at No. 1 on the Billboard Dance Chart and even inspiring a “Weird Al” ...
