Towers ready to claim title
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.

A victory over the Chester Jets will give Towers the crown, just as victory at Milton Keynes Lions last Sunday would have done. However, Towers lost that match 82-76 before crashing 97-70 against Ventspils in the first leg of their North European Basketball League play-off quarter-final. Recovering that deficit looks beyond them.
Towers and London Leopards have already qualified for the Championship play-offs from the South, with Milton Keynes and Birmingham Bullets well placed to join them.
Chester Jets and Sheffield Sharks are through from the North, with Newcastle Eagles clear in third place, leaving both Leicester Riders and Manchester Giants contesting fourth spot.
Giants have the hardest run-in, playing Sheffield tonight, while the Riders will play the Thames Valley Tigers.
