Last night, the Utah Jazz came from behind to beat the Los Angeles Clippers in Game 1 of the Western Conference Semi-Finals. This was spurred by a tremendous performance by their young star, Donovan Mitchell. Mitchell put up 45 points, 5 assists and 3 rebounds.

Donovan Mitchell was drafted with the 13th pick in the 2017 NBA Draft by the Denver Nuggets, but was traded on draft night to the Utah Jazz. Since joining the Jazz organization, he has become a staple. He has consistently averaged 20 points, with this season being his career best.

After a quiet first and second quarter, Donovan Mitchell heated up in the third quarter and never looked back after that, shooting deep threes and clutch shots at the rim, getting a crucial Game 1 win at home for his team.

The Clippers, in contrast looked dead on arrival, especially during the 3rd quarter of the game. Clippers players, even their faces in Kawhi Leonard and Paul George, missed clear shots that would have helped the Clippers take victory in the game.

They should have played how Donovan Mitchell played coming out of halftime. Mitchell's play showed just how much the Utah Jazz wanted the win more than the LA Clippers in this Game 1.

This is still, of course, a very wide open series. The Los Angeles Clippers stil very much have a chance to take control of this series and advance to their first Conference Finals. However, if Game 1 is any indication, Donovan Mitchell and the rest of the Jazz roster will play with all of their heart.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
