What they’re saying

“I thought we executed well, and moved the ball as well as we have in weeks, maybe months. We were balanced, we got the ball inside to Shak early for some easy buckets and obviously having Rob back out there really helped, he did a good job distributing and Brandon hit some shots early to get our confidence going, and it trickled down to throughout the team. Dorrell was really big off the bench, Wayne was as well even though he didn't score, just getting guys easy looks. And then Tyriq brought a lot of energy when he checked in.”

— D.J. Broome, Head Coach

What’s next

The takeaway

This case highlights growing concerns in the community about repeat offenders released on bail, raising questions about bail reform, public safety on SF streets, and if any special laws to govern autonomous vehicles in residential and commercial areas.
