INDIANAPOLIS — Neither of Boston’s All-Star wings, 6-foot-6 Jaylen Brown or 6-foot-8 Jayston Tatum, could stop TJ McConnell Saturday night. The Pacers’ pesky backup point guard dribbled along the baseline in the second quarter of Game 3 against the Celtics, sneaking around Brown and drawing on Tatum, fooling the All-NBA First Team selection.

History seems to be repeating itself with eerily regularity in the scenic but politically unstable region of Jammu and Kashmir, but this time unrest linked to political disillusionment and economic issues is emerging from the Pakistan-occupied parts of the divided region.In 1987, a coalition of the Jammu and Kashmir National Conference and the Indian National Congress, led by Farooq Abdullah, came to power after elections for the state assembly were widely criticised as rigged.
