The New York Knicks defeated the San Antonio Spurs 94-90 yesterday afternoon. After probably, the worst week in the history of the franchise the Knicks managed to defeat the NBA's 2nd best team by record.

The Willy Hernangomez coming-out party is on - for how long?: Jeff Hornacek still is talking about starting Joakim Noah when he is healthy - likely after the All-Star break. But that could change if Willy Hernangomez continues to spark wins as a starter. Hernangomez made his first start as a center, paired with Kristaps Porzingis, and the Knicks shut down the Spurs, 94-90 in a Garden stunner. -- New York Post

A strange old-timers' day ends with Knicks-Spurs stunner: There were no Charles Oakley chants and one giant Knicks victory over a Western Conference power. Who would have thought that entering Sunday's nationally televised matinee? With Carmelo Anthony scoring seven points in the final 2:46, the Knicks averted arguably their worst homestand in history when they stunned the Spurs 94-90 at the Garden. -- New York Post

Carmelo can exhale - and weigh a late All-Star Game choice: It was, Carmelo Anthony said a few nights back, as if a cloud resided over the Knicks who seemed to be the living embodiment of Murphy's Law, even more so. If something could go wrong, not only did it go wrong but it usually ignited a five-alarm fire with it. So on Sunday, the cloud didn't disappear but there was a definite break to allow a ray of sunlight into a dark, dank season. -- New York Post

Dolan trots out Latrell Sprewell and many ex-Knicks in Oakley cover: Knicks owner James Dolan should invite Latrell Sprewell to every game. In an attempt to show his strong relationships with Knicks alumni in the wake of the Charles Oakley ban, a desperate Dolan sat between the mercurial Sprewell - with whom he formerly feuded - and Bernard King during Sunday's 94-90 matinee stunner over the Spurs at the Garden. -- New York Post

J ames Dolan's culture of fear has ruined Madison Square Garden: Years ago, BD - Before Dolan - a famous comedian, blind drunk, was seated courtside at a Knick game when he mistook a substitution buzz-in for the final buzzer then staggered on to the court. Garden security calmly, quickly and discreetly escorted him off. And that was that. No recriminations. -- New York Post

Spike Lee shows support for Charles Oakley, says he teared up when former Knick was arrested: Spike Lee was in the Garden hallway where Charles Oakley was arrested last week, and said there were tears in his eyes watching his friend get taken to jail. Four days later, Lee showed up in a #34 Oakley jersey, courtesy of a skilled stitch artist. -- New York Daily News

Carmelo Anthony passes Charles Barkley on all-time scoring list as Knicks star plans All-Star rest: If Phil Jackson gets his wish and Carmelo Anthony is dealt by the trade deadline, Sunday's 94-90 victory over the Spurs could've been the forward's last game at the Garden as a member of the Knicks. And it was an impressive showing after the fans booed his effort in the first half. "They always on me," Anthony said. "They was on me early too. I persevere, man." -- New York Daily News

Knicks defense benefits from marathon practice with 94-90 win over Spurs: After yet another embarrassing loss, this time to the Nuggets at home on Friday night, the Knicks practiced for three hours Saturday afternoon, a marathon day for any NBA team. The practice included a film session that differed from others this season. The players seized ownership as Jeff Hornacek and the coaching staff took a back seat. -- New York Daily News

Latrell Sprewell's suspect Garden reunion is just another James Dolan PR ploy: James Dolan once had to reprimand Madison Square Garden security for not protecting him from Latrell Sprewell. Do you sense a pattern here? So maybe there is hope for reconciliation with Dolan and Charles Oakley, another immensely popular former Knick who was banned indefinitely from the World's Most Famous Arena two days before Sprewell's lifetime ban was magically lifted. -- New York Daily News

Carmelo Anthony scores 25 to lead Knicks past Spurs, 94-90: If this was Carmelo Anthony's final home game as a Knick, he can say he led his team to its best win of the season. Anthony scored 25 points and hit three clutch baskets in the final 2:45 to lift the Knicks to a 94-90 victory over the mighty Spurs on Sunday at Madison Square Garden. -- Newsday

Latrell Sprewell gets royal treatment at Garden in first visit since '04: Charles Oakley is out, but Latrell Sprewell is back in. Sprewell had not been welcome at Madison Square Garden after cursing at Knicks owner James Dolan during a game in 2003. The popular former Knick not only was back in the building Sunday but sat right next to Dolan four days after Oakley, another beloved former Knick, was physically removed from his seat, arrested and ultimately banned from the Garden. -- Newsday

Gregg Popovich likes Spurs' environment free of drama: In the previous 19 seasons, Gregg Popovich's San Antonio Spurs won five NBA championships and had a .710 winning percentage - an average of 58 wins in an 82-game season. And even after their 94-90 loss to the Knicks at the Garden on Sunday, the Spurs are exceeding that. They're on pace to win 62 games. There have been a lot of wins but not a lot of drama. Popovich says that's no coincidence. He said that when the environment around a team is stable, "it's easier to win." -- Newsday

Latrell Sprewell Visits. Minds Boggle. Knicks Win.: If the Knicks had hoped that Sunday afternoon's game against the San Antonio Spurs would be a return to a semblance of normalcy, that notion did not last long. Instead, with less than four minutes gone in the first quarter, the Knicks' owner, James L. Dolan, who has been in the middle of the most recent chaos, sat down at his usual courtside seat at Madison Square Garden. But rather than just sitting with his chief spokesman, Barry Watkins, as usual, Dolan was flanked by two former Knicks stars - Bernard King and Latrell Sprewell - with another alumnus, Larry Johnson, just one seat away. -- The New York Times

Sprewell welcomed back to MSG as Knicks beat Spurs: The game was just a few minutes old when James Dolan waddled out to his courtside seat, towered over by the "fans" around him: Latrell Sprewell walked in front, Bernard King and Vin Baker behind him. All that was missing was for the former players to be covered in flashing neon lights beckoning the crowd to look here and ignore everything else your mind is telling you. -- The Record

Carmelo doesn't want to think this could be his farewell: It was a fitting backdrop for Carmelo Anthony as he rose near the foul line for the decisive shot late in the fourth quarter Sunday evening. No defender was near him, but in his line of sight was a long row of Knicks alumni. There were some stars like Larry Johnson and Bernard King, the return of an exiled scorer in Latrell Sprewell and just about every other player who'd ever suited up and could get to Madison Square Garden in time to serve as a distracting prop to the troubles mounting around the team. -- The Record

Officials in Northern California had told nearly 200,000 people to evacuate from a dam that threatened to release uncontrollable waters downstream. A lot of people who are rushing to get out of there with their cars are worried about the flooding.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Water levels are continuing to fall at the Oroville Dam, where officials ordered nearly 200,000 people to evacuate to safer ground over fears that the country's tallest dam would release uncontrolled floodwaters downstream. Spillage from the dam has stopped as a result of the lower water levels, The Associated Press said.

The objective is to lower the lake level by 50 feet in order to prepare for the future inflow of water, Butte County Sheriff Kory Honea said at a news conference this afternoon.

Drivers jammed highways overnight and this morning as thousands of residents scrambled to flee the area. Hundreds of cars lined Highway 99, creating bumper-to-bumper traffic as people headed north, the AP reported.

Evacuations remain in effect this afternoon, Honea said, calling it a "dynamic situation." No date or time has been set to lift evacuation orders, he added. All 5,780 inmates from the Butte County Jail were evacuated to the Santa Rita Jail in Alameda County, where they will remain until it is safe to return, the Butte County Sheriff's Office said.

Raj Gill, who manages a Shell gas station in the region, was torn between evacuating and staying open to serve a steady stream of customers.

"You can't even move," he told the AP. "I'm trying to get out of here too. I'm worried about the flooding. I've seen the pictures. That's a lot of water."

Lake Oroville, which is 75 miles north of Sacramento and about 25 miles southeast of Chico, is one of California's largest manmade lakes, and it swelled after a month of heavy rains that battered the region.

Water began topping the emergency spillway on the 770-foot-tall dam Saturday, causing erosion damage that could lead to a surge of water being released, officials said.

Carlos Avila Gonzalez / San Francisco Chronicle via Polaris

Officials from California's Department of Water Resources said they planned to use helicopters to drop rocks to fill in the gouge in the spillway.

Residents of Oroville, Gridley, Live Oak, Marysville, Wheatland, Yuba City, Plumas Lake and Olivehurst were ordered to evacuate immediately, authorities said.

Butte County Sheriff Kory Honea said officials made the decision to nearly double the volume of water being released from the dam to stop erosion at the top of the auxiliary spillway.

"Hopefully, that will release pressure on the emergency spillway and they'll find a repair to prevent a complete failure," Honea said Sunday. "[The] situation is dynamic and could change anytime."

California Gov. Jerry Brown issued an emergency order in response to the situation.

"The state is directing all necessary personnel and resources to deal with this very serious situation," he said in a statement Sunday.

The state's National Guard said it would provide eight helicopters to assist in reconstructing the emergency spillway.

The helicopters, along with two airplanes, will be available today for search and rescue near the Oroville Dam, California National Guard Adjunct Gen. David Baldwin said at a news conference Sunday.

He added that the California National Guard would be ready to deploy if needed.

The Mercury News, a local newspaper, reported that three environmental groups - the Friends of the River, the Sierra Club and the South Yuba Citizens League - filed a motion with the federal government in 2005 as part of the Oroville Dam's relicensing process, urging federal officials to bolster the dam's emergency spillway.

In that motion, the groups warned that the dam did not meet modern safety standards, The Mercury News reported.

The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission rejected their request after state agencies determined the refurbishment an unnecessary expense, the paper said.

ABC News reached out to the FERC for a comment about the 2005 motion but did not immediately receive a response.

The 59th annual Grammy Awards brought a pair of sweeps: a likely one for a dearly departed star, a surprise for the reigning queen of pop - and more performances than anyone will likely remember tomorrow.

As she did in 2012, Adele swept her "general category" nominations (the night's headline trophies) - but five years ago she wasn't up against what many considered to be one of the year's most definitive and universally lauded pieces of work: Beyoncé's Lemonade. Beyoncé has won neither record or album of the year - Adele is the first to twice sweep the album, record and song of the year categories.

As she accepted the penultimate award of the night, record of the year, Adele looked at Beyoncé and said, "You move my soul every single day."

Beyoncé didn't make it out of the front row of the audience for the three final awards of the night, and Adele would be back to the stage moments later to accept Album of the Year for 25 as well, upsetting Lemonade. Adele herself admitted Lemonade was a "monumental" work and mentioned being unable to accept the Album of the Year award (before accepting it).

By the numbers, the night's other big winner was David Bowie, who posthumously took every award he (and package designer Jonathan Barnbrook) was nominated for, including best rock song and best rock performance for his deeply affecting and pre-eulogistic "Blackstar" from the album of the same name, which won best alternative music album, best recording package and best engineered album.

The arrival of the night went to Chance the Rapper, the Chicago-born rapper who has shepherded his career independent of the major-label system. Chance was named best new artist - and thankfully ignored the show's get-off-the-stage music during his acceptance of the night's first trophy. Later, winning the award for best rap album for Coloring Book, he somewhat notably gave a shout-out to German-based streaming company SoundCloud, not Apple Music, which paid him a fair chunk of change for a window of exclusivity for Coloring Book. Independent is as independent does.

More than most years, a black cloud whorled over this year's Grammys, the show's 59th iteration and one that followed a year of remarkable loss for popular music after the deaths of Prince, Leonard Cohen, George Michael, Merle Haggard and many others ... but also a year that began amidst a deeply polarized political climate, one that many artists, we can reliably assume (Madonna, for sure), are lamenting.

Ahead of the telecast many wondered whether the Grammys would get political. (One only needed to look to Kendrick Lamar's performance last year for the answer, regardless of longtime producer Ken Ehrlich's pre-show diplomacy.)

Jennifer Lopez was the first of the night to make a statement, however oblique, saying: "At this point in history, our voices are needed more than ever," before doubling down, quoting from Toni Morrison's essay, "No Place for Self-Pity, No Room For Fear."

Katy Perry, who stumped for Hillary Clinton, ended a performance of new single "Chained to the Rhythm" bathed in a projection of the preamble to the Constitution - a gesture that seemed less overtly political than one that simply acknowledged politics exist.

Orange Is The New Black's Laverne Cox, introducing Metallica and Lady Gaga's fiery performance of "Moth Into Flame," referenced the upcoming Supreme Court hearing of a case centering around students' right to use bathrooms that correspond with their gender identity.

Even Recording Academy president Neil Portnow, who generally steers clear of even a whiff of politics, jumped into the fray, if meekly. Portnow referenced "the things" - music principally, we can assume - that bring us together and help to cohere our "more perfect union." Then, more customarily, Portnow called for reforms to the consent decrees which dictate songwriter remuneration and copyright laws that regulate usage of music. Even Johnnie Walker, in a late-show whiskey ad, retained Chicano Batman to sing "This Land Is Your Land," touching on Trump's executive order around immigration.

Solange (who made NPR Music's favorite record last year) introduced A Tribe Called Quest, who alongside Anderson.Paak and Busta Rhymes, performed a medley that kicked off with "Can I Kick It?" before Busta Rhymes popped up to "President Agent Orange and his unsuccessful attempt at a Muslim ban," then moving into "We The People" from Tribe's newest record, We Got It From Here... Thank You 4 Your Service. Q-Tip ended the utterly monumental performance with repeated calls to "resist" - it was the most fervently and successfully political presentation of the night.

Not to be outdone, Beyoncé meteored a crater of personal and political empowerment. Her mother, Tina Knowles, introduced a reliably gargantuan and beautifully produced performance, which began with the rhetorical question: "Do you remember being born?"

The production design referenced the Virgin Mary, Cleopatra and Queen Elizabeth I, with little singing for a extended period of time before Beyoncé settled into a pillowy rendition of "Love Drought" and "Sandcastles."

There, too, were the flowers that accompanied that now-famous Instagram post. As my colleague Rodney Carmichael wrote: "This is full-on #blackwomanmagic." "There is a curse," Beyoncé whispered in a pre-taped voice over, "that will be broken... now that reconciliation is possible... if we're gonna heal, let it be glorious."

Later, accepting the award for best urban contemporary album for Lemonade, she said her work seeks "to confront issues that make us uncomfortable - it's important to me to show images to my children that reflect their beauty."

Sturgill Simpson, backed by Daptone Records' house band The Dap-Kings (and, it seemed, a few friends), delivered arguably the most purely perfect musical performance of the night, singing "All Around You" with striking commitment. Equally striking was Bruno Mars' late-show tribute to Prince, which began with the indelible prayer of "Dearly beloved..." and ended with Mars ripping a (nearly) Prince-worthy guitar solo.

There were flubs: Adele stopped her tribute performance of George Michael's "Fastlove" as it was getting going, swearing and apologizing before jumping back into the 1996 hit. "I don't want to do this like last year," she said, referencing the broken piano of 2016. The song choice was semi-appropriately elegiac, though didn't engage with the unbridled joy of Michael's best work.

As for the rest: A mildly disappointing performance of "Hello" from Adele, who opened the show just prior to a very brief bit of slapstick and rapping that served as host James Corden's introduction.

There was a surprisingly sharp turn from previously stilted performer The Weeknd (with assistance from Daft Punk), an '80s synth jams straight out of Top Gun (Carrie Underwood and Keith Urban performing "The Fighter") and a bizarrely empty new reggaeton-by-way-of-Bon Iver jawn from Ed Sheeran.

Neil Diamond, Keith Urban, Faith Hill, Jennifer Lopez, Tim McGraw and Jason Derulo sang "Sweet Caroline" with Corden in a makeshift iteration of the "Carpool Karaoke" segments on his late night show. Diamond looked, perhaps was, a little lost.

Katy Perry's performance perhaps unintentionally referenced the mirrored picket fence sculpture by Alyson Shotz at upstate New York sculpture park Storm King. Gary Clark and William Bell (who won for best Americana album) performed the blues standard "Born Under a Bad Sign," written by Bell and Booker T. Jones and first recorded by Albert King in 1967 for Stax Records.

The show remained as reliably corrugated as ever - as it will until entropy catches up with it. Looking to the Grammys for substantive, not glancing, engagement with challenging times, as Ann Powers addressed recently, is a waste of time. The show is comfort food; delivering the same faces, the same voices, the same melodies and shimmering gowns.

Perhaps next year, when the awards return to New York for the first time since 2003, the show will let itself change as much as the world around it has. But probably not.
