While the Russians looked like the new favorites when the NHL withdrew because of pandemic-related schedule disruptions in late December, the Finns were actually the big winners. With recent NHL players such as captain Valtteri Filppula, forward Leo Komarov and defensemen Sami Vatanen and Mikko Lehtonen on the team, Finland had the firepower to go along with its hallmark of strong structure, defense and goaltending.

“With AK and Marc, obviously, they’re going for it,” LaVine said. “They trust in me, they trust in DeMar, they trust in this group, and it just means a lot going into the last year of my contract that they’re putting a team around us that can compete.’’

Police learned the phone belonged to Howard, who was texting people named “mom” about a possible robbery of someone named “Sleepy,” who was the person she fled the home with.

“I didn’t think we competed in the first half,” Michigan State coach Tom Izzo said. “In the second half, we scored 52 points against the best defensive team in the league. I don’t like saying we’ll learn from a loss, but I think we’ll learn from this. We competed harder (in the second half) but we couldn’t get over that 10-point stretch.”

The threshold was $210 million in 2021, with tax rates of 20% for first offender, 30% for exceeding in consecutive years and 50% for exceeding in three or more consecutive years.

The third threshold was $250 million, with tax rates of 62.5% for the first offender 75% for the second and 95% for the third.

“It will get me through the end of the season,” LaVine said. “Then in the offseason I’ll be able to take care of it, try and get myself to 100%. But this season is important enough for me personally, I’ll be able to go out there and play, do what I’m able to do still.”
