Bane leads Grizzlies past Nets as Irving scores 43 points

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Desmond Bane scored 23 points, including nine straight as Memphis rebuilt its lead in the fourth quarter, and the Grizzlies beat Kyrie Irving and the Brooklyn Nets 132-120 on Wednesday night. Irving scored 43 points and Kevin Durant had 35 points, 11 rebounds and eight assists.

Newsom suggests up to $800 to fight gas prices

Even more states are considering ways to help fight high gas prices, including a proposal unveiled by California's governor on Wednesday that would give vehicle owners in the state up to $800 as a refund for gas taxes.Last week Georgia and Maryland both passed bills to pause their state gas taxes of about 29 cents and 36 cents per gallon of regular gasoline, respectively.

It comes less than a year after the state sits out millions of $600 stimulus checks to residents, prompted by a mas...
