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.Charlotte Bobcats have six games left to avoid the terrible distinction of becoming the worst team in NBA history.
If Charlotte lose their six remaining games they will finish with the worst winning percentage in league history (.106), a dubious honour currently held by the 1972-73 Philadelphia 76ers, who finished with a 9-73 win-loss record (.110)
"We are desperate to get a win," said Bobcats guard Matt Carroll said. "No one wants to be known as the worst team in NBA history. I've been talking about this with guys on the team for the last two weeks telling them we at least need to get one more win. I think the guys at first heard it but weren't thinking it was going to happen.
"But now everybody is aware it could happen," Carroll added, "so we better get a win."
It will not be easy. Their next game is today against the Chicago Bulls, who are top of the Eastern Conference Central with a 46-15 season's record compared to the Bobcats' 7-53.
