PITTSBURGH (AP) — The Pittsburgh Penguins hope the end of one streak marks the beginning of another.Jeff Carter and Jake Guentzel both scored twice and Pittsburgh’s beleaguered power play snapped an 0-for-37 drought in a 4-2 win over Arizona on Tuesday night.Guentzel scored the Penguins’ first power-play goal in 31 days when he beat Carter Ingram just over a minute into the game. Carter’s deflection in front 4:32 into the third with Pittsburgh on the man advantage gave the Penguins the lead for good and — perhaps more importantly — will allow them to finally move on.“Hopefully we don’t have to talk about it anymore,” said Carter, who also had the 20th short-handed goal of his 19-year career in the first period.There was only tepid applause when the Penguins went on the power play 48 seconds in. It grew considerably louder moments later when Guentzel took a pass from behind the net by Sidney Crosby and beat Ingram from in close 1:12 into the game for Pittsburgh̵...Jonas Aidoo dominates inside as No. 12 Tennessee beats Georgia Southern 74-56

He saw plenty of Aidoo, a junior.“That’s a development success story for (Tennessee),” Henry said. “He has a great touch offensively. That game has expanded.

CHICAGO (AP) — Reggie Jackson scored 25 points and short-handed Denver held off the Chicago Bulls for a 114-106 victory on Tuesday night after Nuggets star Nikola Jokic was ejected in the second quarter.Michael Porter Jr. had 17 points and Aaron Gordon finished with 14 points, seven rebounds and six assists, helping Denver to a gritty second straight win after a 129-122 victory at Atlanta on Monday night. Julian Strawther added 16 points.Jackson made five 3-pointers as the reigning NBA champions went 14 for 30 from behind the arc. The Nuggets also beat the Bulls 123-101 in Denver on Nov. 4. It was unclear what exactly Jokic did to warrant the ejection. It looked as if the two-time NBA MVP felt he was fouled when he missed a reverse layup with 1:12 left in the first half, and he said something in the direction of a referee as he made his way back down the court.Jokic was promptly whistled for a technical and thrown out by official Mousa Dagher.

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — Organizers of the global climate summit offered a new proposal early Wednesday seeking to bridge a yawning divide over whether to shut down fossil fuels in the name of saving the planet.The latest compromise text, published by the United Arab Emirates conference hosts after marathon overnight consultations, would commit countries to developing plans for “transitioning away from fossil fuels in energy systems … in this critical decade.” It says this shift should occur “in a just, orderly, and equitable manner,” with the aim of bringing net greenhouse gas pollution to zero by 2050 — “in keeping with the science.”The text still needs consensus approval from nearly 200 nations at the summit, any one of which could sink the deal. That decision could come as early as Wednesday.Latest news
