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.Williams wants to play for England in March's Commonwealth Games and his stay with Brighton could be short if he does not obtain funding from England Basketball to keep him in this country. Williams said before last night's game: "I want to go and play in Europe so I'm only hanging around in England for the next couple of weeks unless I get funding to stay here. Birmingham wanted to keep me for the rest of the season, which is fair enough, but I needed to make more money. It's business."
The Bears trailed Bullets by a basket after each of the first three quarters, but hit a 12-3 run. Andrew Alleyne led Bears with 19 points while Steve Parillon joined Williams on 13.
The Bullets coped better 24 hours earlier by beating the defending BBL champions Chester Jets 94-91 at home. Dino Tanner scored 11 of Bullets' last 13 points.
Scottish Rocks' unbeaten six-game start to the BBL season ended with a 67-62 defeat in Glasgow against Sheffield Sharks, while Chester bounced back last night as Philip Gilbert scored 30 points on his home debut to defeat Guildford Heat 109-89.
