MINNEAPOLIS – The Milwaukee Bucks turned in perhaps their best win of the season late Friday night, toppling the Western Conference’s best team with a 112-107 victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves at the Target Center. “It was a great barometer for us,” Brook Lopez said. “We put a lot of great work in before the all-star break in the games leading up, the wins and losses didn’t necessarily reflect that but we’d been having great practices, learning a lot from each other, learning a lot from the staff, from Doc and you’ve heard it said – it’s been a training camp atmosphere. We had a great practice yesterday that was just like that. Obviously you don’t need me to tell you that was a great team we just played, the best team in the West. It's a great environment. We just played them a couple weeks ago and they destroyed us, dominated us. So to come out and play the way we played for the majority for the game, that’s a great sign.”

AT&T’s widespread outage that left thousands without service for hours Thursday was likely caused by a process error — not a cyberattack, the carrier said. The trouble started early Thursday, but by afternoon AT&T reported that service had been restored to all customers. Based on an initial review, the company thinks the outage "was caused by the application and execution of an incorrect process used as we were expanding our network, not a cyber attack," it said Thursday evening. Over 32,000 AT&T outages were reported by customers about 4 a.m. ET Thursday. Reports dipped then spiked again to more than 50,000 around 7 a.m., with most issues reported in Houston, Chicago, Dallas, Los Angeles and Atlanta, according to the site. That number surged to more than 71,000 just before 8 a.m. ET.

Intuitive Machines' Odysseus lander touched down on the moon Thursday after a historic, nail-biting descent following a last-minute navigation sensor malfunction, becoming the first U.S.-built spacecraft to stick a moon landing in more than 50 years and the first ever by a private company. After delaying the final descent by one orbit to press an experimental NASA navigation sensor into service — and to test hurriedly-written software patches to route its data to the lander's flight computer — Odysseus settled to a touchdown at 6:23 p.m. EST near a crater known as Malapert A some 186 miles from the south pole of the moon.
