Santa Clara – It was the matchup we’ve all been waiting for, no better stage set than Monday Night Football. The Seattle Seahawks kicked a winning field goal to end the Forty-Niners winning streak and become the first team to hand them a loss this season. It was an unbelievable game from start to finish.

The 49ers prefect season came to an end with the 27-24 loss to the Seahawks. After both teams failed to score in overtime, Jason Myers kicked a 42-yard field goal for the win. Chase McLaughlin missed a 47-yard field goal that would’ve kept San Francisco’s winning streak alive. The 49ers were the last unbeaten team in the NFL.

“You’re always disappointed when you don’t win,” said Kyle Shanahan. “Especially, when we felt we had a number of chances. I was very proud of our guys. I thought we competed very hard. Guys left it all out there. I know guys are hurting right now. I thought all three phases played hard. I thought our defense was unbelievable. I thought the offense played as hard as they could but made way too many mistakes to be able to pull out a win in that game.”

Russell Wilson put the Seahawks in great field position to start overtime. But his pass intended for Jacob Hollister who was inches from the goal line was intercepted by Dre Greenlaw who ran it back for 47 yards. But McLaughlin missed a 47 yard field goal for the win. Yet he made a 47 yard field goal to tie the game 24-24 to force the game into overtime.

The 49ers usually start the game with ease but Seattle’s defense was dominant. Thanks to two penalties by the Seahawks, Jimmy Garoppolo’s interception by Shaquille Griffin was overturned. And a pass interference call by Tre Flowers moved the chains to setup McLaughlin’s 43-yard field goal to give San Francisco a 3-0 lead on their opening drive.

By the next drive, the 49ers got back to their game, Garoppolo found a wide open Kendrick Bourne for a 10-yard touchdown making it a 10-0 game to end the first quarter. Seattle was unable to move the ball in the first quarter, forcing them to punt twice. Wilson was sacked five times tonight.

An unlucky San Francisco turnover led to the Seahawks first touchdown. Garoppolo was sacked by Jarran Reed and fumbled the ball. Jadeveon Clowney recovered the ball and ran it back for a 10-yard touchdown making it a 10-7 game. At the two minute mark in the second, Wilson’s pass to DK Metcalf for 26 yards was under review. Metcalf rushed up the sideline into the end zone carrying a pack of 49ers.

“It was a tough fought game,” Garoppolo said. “It’s a good team, so we knew it was going to be a tough fight and everything. “I thought our guys battled up until the end. It was a tough loss.”

Jaquiski Tartt took the ball from Metcalf in the end zone. After further review the call was overturned and the ball went back to San Francisco. A hug defensive stop for the 49ers who prevented Seattle from tying the game before halftime. But costly turnovers by San Francisco led to 20 unanswered points for the Seahawks in the second half.

Garoppolo’s pass intended for Bourne was intercepted by Quandre Diggs who rushed it back for 44 yards. That setup Wilson’s scramble for 14 yards, then he lobbed the ball into the end zone to Hollister for the 3-yard touchdown making it a 14-10 game with Seattle in the lead for the first time tonight.

“It is very difficult,” said Greenlaw on containing [Russell] Wilson. “It is everybody’s job on the defense from the front seven point-of-view. He is a great quarterback, he is going to make plays, he moves with the best of them. We just have to make sure that we do our jobs, be assignment sound, make sure everyone is in their gaps and be able to play off when he is ready to scramble around.”

Chris Carson rushed for a 1-yard touchdown extending their lead 21-10. But another sack on Wilson by both Arik Armstead and K’Waun Williams in the fourth, forced Wilson to fumble. Germain lefdi recovered the ball and then fumbled, DeForest Buckner recovered the ball and ran it back for a 12-yard touchdown. The 49ers two-point conversion brought them within 3 points. McLaughlin’s 39 yard field goal tied the game 21-21.

Then it became a battle between the kickers. Meyers kicked a 46 yard field goal for the lead and McLaughlin’s game winning field goal tied the game 24-24 and forced overtime. The 49ers first loss of the season came against a good team in their division. They still face an uphill battle in this second half, facing some better opponents however they’re playing their best football.

“You don’t treat both the same, success and failure, because neither one of them are fatal,” Richard Sherman said. “It’s a learning experience, guys battled and we had a chance to win it. We’ve got to play better on both sides of the ball. All three phases we’ve got to play better football. On defense, we’ve got to give ourselves a chance. We’ve got to get those stops on those sudden changes. So, at the end of the day, it’s a good learning lesson for us. Guys battled, there was a ton of mistakes that guys made but then we made a ton of huge plays to give us a chance.”

Seth looked comfortable in his new uniform, seamlessly fitting into the Warriors’ offensive and defensive system. He finished the night with an impressive 14 points, becoming one of the team’s top scorers for the game. Seth’s points came in a variety of ways – floaters, spot-up three-pointers, mid-range jumpers, and a handful of aggressive drives that kept the Oklahoma City Thunder defense on its heels.

Tuesday night was anything but ordinary for fans in San Francisco as Seth Curry made his highly anticipated debut as a new member of the Golden State Warriors. Seth didn’t disappoint, delivering a performance that not only showcased his scoring ability but also demonstrated his added value to the team.

At 35, the 12-year NBA veteran on Monday signed a contract to play with the Warriors for the rest of the season.

One of the most memorable moments of the evening came before Seth even scored his first points. As he checked into the game, the Chase Center erupted into applause, with fans rising to their feet to give the newest Warrior a standing ovation.

The crowd’s reaction was a testament not only to Seth’s reputation as a sharpshooter but also to the excitement he brings to the Warriors. It was clear that fans quickly embraced Seth as one of their own, eager to see what he could bring to the team’s championship aspirations.

Warriors’ superstar Steph Curry – Seth’s brother – did not play due to an injury. One could only imagine what it would be like if the Curry brothers were on the court together. Magic in the making.

Seth’s debut proved to be a turning point for the Warriors. Not only did he contribute on the scoreboard, but he also brought a sense of confidence and composure to the floor.

While their loss last night, OKC 124 – GSW 112, Seth’s impact was a game-changer and there’s more yet to come. Beyond statistics, it was clear that Seth’s presence elevated the team’s performance, giving the Warriors a new force as they look to make a deep playoff run.

West Oakland’s McClymonds High School, “the School of Champions,” this week named the school’s gymnasium in honor of one of its most famous graduates, basketball legend Bill Russell (class of ’52).

Russell is widely known as one of the greatest basketball players of all time. In 2011, he received the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the country’s highest civil honor, from President Barack Obama for Russell’s contributions to basketball and the Civil Rights Movement.

The McClymonds’ naming ceremony was held on Wednesday, the same day as Russell’s birthday. Oakland leader Bill Patterson, a longtime friend of Russell’s, was scheduled to cut the ribbon at the reopening of the gym, which had been closed for several months for renovation. Russell’s daughter Karen was scheduled to attend the ribbon cutting.

Russell’s name and signature are now printed on the gymnasium floor.

Patterson was working at DeFremery Park when he met Russell. “I befriended him as a boy and during his years at University of San Francisco” said Patterson. “We stayed friends for the rest of his life.”

Said McClymonds Principal Darielle Davis, herself a McClymonds graduate, “We are excited to honor Bill Russell for his sports accolades and because he broke color barriers. He is part of our legacy, and legacy is really important at McClymonds.”

Brian McGhee, community schools manager at McClymonds and former football player at UC Berkeley, said that Russell meant a lot to him and others at the school. “He was a beacon of light and hope for West Oakland,” he said. “He did a lot for sports and for civil rights.”

Starting in 2018, Ben “Coach” Tapscott worked with Patterson and other McClymonds grads, community members, and former coaches to encourage the Oakland Board of Education to endorse the naming of the school gym, which finally happened recently.

“We worked hard to make this happen,” said Tapscott. “He’s an important part of McClymond’s history, along with a lot of other famous graduates,” he said.
