As a young man starting college, director Todd Haynes fell immediately for the Velvet Underground — the band which, musician Brian Eno famously said, didn’t sell many records, but everyone who bought one went and started a band. It sounds like the storyline of a great fictional music film: Amidst the flower-power hippie era, a rock band emerges from the New York avant-garde art scene with the opposite ethos, dressed in black with an outsider vibe, singing about drugs...

NEW YORK (AP) — Kevin Durant was a superstar on his own — Kyrie Irving was out and James Harden probably should have been — and he was almost enough for the Brooklyn Nets. Durant couldn’t get the injury-weakened Nets past the Milwaukee Bucks in last season’s playoffs. But the way he played in the second-round series — 49 points and a triple-double in Game 5, 48 points in Game 7 — and then in Tokyo while leading the...
