Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Michael Jordan, so sick with the flu he could hardly stand, carried the Chicago Bulls to a 90-88 victory over the Utah Jazz on Wednesday night that put the defending champions one win away from their fifth NBA title in seven years.
Jordan scored 38 points, and hit a key three-pointer with 25 seconds to go. "I almost played myself into passing out. I came in and I was almost dehydrated and it was all just to win a basketball game," he said.
Jordan, who was up vomiting all night Tuesday and stayed in bed Wednesday, also had seven rebounds and five assists as the best-of-seven finals move back to Chicago for Game 6 today.
