    Coronavirus stimulus: How it helps retirees and savers
    The $2.2 trillion stimulus package intended to help businesses and workers cope with the economic impacts of the coronavirus pandemic has goodies for Americans saving for retirement, and those already retired.
    “The bill is complex, so check with a tax specialist or accountant before making any big moves,” said Mitch Gerstein, a CPA with Isdaner & Co. in Bala Cynwyd, Pa. “But the idea is to put money into people’s hands as fast as possible.”

    DENVER — After their heartbreaking 101-99 loss to the Denver Nuggets in Game 2 of their first-round playoff series on Monday night, the Lakers criticized the officiating.
    Lakers star LeBron James was the most direct with his comments.

    Kings can’t overcome slow start in Game 1 loss to Oilers
    EDMONTON, Alberta — The Kings tend to beat teams with their blue-collar effort. It’s been their identity for more than a decade, and it’s what made them successful.
    But in Game 1 of their Western Conference first-round series against the Edmonton Oilers on Monday night, that blue-collar identity was nowhere to be seen and the Kings paid a big price, losing the opener of the best-of-seven series, 7-4.

    Nuggets stun Lakers in Game 2 on Jamal Murray’s buzzer-beater
    DENVER — The Lakers gave the Denver Nuggets as good of a shot as they’ve had over the last 16 months on Monday night.
    But Jamal Murray had the best one of the night for the Nuggets, sinking a 15-foot step-back jumper at the buzzer over Anthony Davis’ outstretched right arm as the Nuggets wiped out a 20-point second-half deficit to stun the Lakers, 101-99, for a 2-0 lead in the best-of-seven first-round playoff series.

    ANAHEIM — Angels hitters showed some signs of life on Monday night, but not enough to snap their losing streak.
    The Angels ran their scoreless streak to 18 innings on their way to a 4-2 loss to the Baltimore Orioles, their fifth straight loss.
    The Angels (9-14) were shut out on Sunday in Cincinnati and they didn’t have a run until Jo Adell’s homer in the seventh inning against the Orioles, when they were already down by four.

    Vanderbilt has been sidelined since early February because of a sprained right midfoot injury he suffered in the Lakers’ Feb. 1 road win against the Boston Celtics.

    Rengifo made errors in two of the Angels’ losses over the weekend in Cincinnati, and a third misplay was ruled a hit.
    Last week against the Tampa Bay Rays, Rengifo failed to come up with a backhand play that could have been the final out of an Angels victory, and they ended up losing in 13 innings. That was a tough play that might not have been an out even if Rengifo had played it perfectly, but it was no

I am a truck driver turned autonomous truck safety driver. My first-hand experience gives me a deep understanding of how this new technology will impact the lives of truck drivers across the country, and I am deeply passionate about how it will both save lives and help supplement, not replace, truck drivers.
