A lot of people are very cynical about whether voting makes a difference, and they're not always wrong to feel that way. But elections do have big consequences for your daily life - just ask folks up in Vance county. 🚰

This Wednesday is Tax Day across America, and North Carolina is no exception. Most people have no idea what their taxes pay for, which leads to a lot of weird ideas. So let's just break it down. 💵

The drives from Karl-Anthony Towns have been key for New York early in this one. Cleveland hasn't been afraid to switch or change the matchup. Has Strus here and looks to go 1v1. Good job from Alvarado to clear the wing and Hart to slide to the right block.
