Timberwolves has earned his fourth NBA Defensive Player 57 00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:35,080 of the Year award. 58 00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:42,320 Behind the record held by legends Ben Wallace and Dig M. Bay, Mu Tumbo, Gobert received 59 00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:51,760 72 out of 99 possible first-place votes, leading ahead of Victor Wembenyama and Bam Adabayu. 60 00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:57,160 At 31 years old, Gobert has been pivotal in anchoring the Timberwolves defense, which 61 00:04:57,160 --> 00:05:02,080 boasts the league's top spot and a low opponent field goal percentage. 62 00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:07,800 Gobert, a former Utah Jazz player, credits his team's mindset and collective effort 63 00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:10,600 for his success in defense. 64 00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:15,200 This accolade comes as the Timberwolves currently lead their playoff series against the Denver 65 00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:17,800 Nuckets. 66 00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:26,120 Last night in local sports, the Padres on the road lost to the Cubs, 3-2. 67 00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:33,800 Tonight, the Padres are on the road for the final game of the series with the Cubs. 68 00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:40,240 In top news, in March, U.S. consumer credit growth slowed significantly, according to 69 00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:42,440 the Federal Reserve. 70 00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:48,360 The total consumer credit increased by just over $6 billion, a stark drop from the previous 71 00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:54,480 month's $15 billion gain, and well below economists' predictions. 72 00:05:54,480 --> 00:06:01,720 This deceleration was marked by a modest 1.5% annual rate increase, a decrease from February's 73 00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:03,760 3.6% rate. 74 00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:10,880 Notably, credit card borrowing barely rose, increasing by only 0.1%, which is the slowest 75 00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:13,720 growth since April 2021. 76 00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:21,160 Meanwhile, non-revolving loans, which include student and auto loans, grew by 2%. 77 00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:26,320 This slowdown in consumer borrowing has prompted concerns about the overall health of consumer 78 00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:28,400 spending. 79 00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:37,380 In business news, cybersecurity startup, Wiz, recently raised a staggering $1 billion, boosting 80 00:06:37,380 --> 00:06:40,800 its valuation to $12 billion. 81 00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:46,340 This funding round, contributing to a total of $2 billion raised by the company, was led 82 00:06:46,340 --> 00:06:53,440 by Andreessen Horowitz, Lightspeed Venture Partners, and Thrive Capital, with participation 83 00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:56,800 from several prominent investors. 84 00:06:56,800 --> 00:07:02,560 This investment will support Wiz in its planned acquisitions, product enhancement, and talent 85 00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:04,120 development. 86 00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:10,200 The company, which achieved a rapid growth in annual recurring revenue, hitting $350 87 00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:17,320 million in 2023, is strategically preparing for a future public offering. 88 00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:24,080 Co-founder Asaf Rapoport expressed that Wiz is targeting a $1 billion annual recurring 89 00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:31,520 revenue milestone, before going public, focusing currently on innovation and customer value. 90 00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:36,560 In crypto movement, Bitcoin is under $63,000. 91 00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:39,760 Ethereum is $3,000. 92 00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:45,480 And Solana is $149. 93 00:07:45,480

00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:39,120 Let's talk tech. 105 00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:44,940 Apple has unveiled a new iPad Pro featuring a powerful M4 processor, claiming four times 106 00:08:44,940 --> 00:08:48,360 the performance of previous models. 107 00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:54,160 This launch, described by CEO Tim Cook as a significant event for iPad, introduces the 108 00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:58,160 most advanced chip used in Apple's tablets to date. 109 00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:04,080 The iPad Pro is available in two sizes and comes with a redesigned Apple Pencil and Magic 110 00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:05,600 Keyboard. 111 00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:12,620 The iPad Air also sees updates with an M2 processor and improved AI capabilities. 112 00:09:12,620 --> 00:09:17,520 This release is part of Apple's strategy to revitalize its tablet market, following 113 00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:19,920 a downturn in sales. 114 00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:24,760 The company anticipates growth in the iPad sector in the upcoming quarter amidst broader 115 00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:29,760 financial challenges and a significant stock buyback initiative. 116 00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:39,040 And in entertainment news, Worcester's Union Station in Massachusetts will be temporarily 117 00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:45,240 closed from 10 a.m. to midnight on Wednesday to accommodate the filming of The Walking 118 00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:48,200 Dead, Dead City. 119 00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:53,880 During this period, the station will serve as a backdrop for this series' second season. 120 00:09:53,880

several downtown areas, transforming them into scenes 124 00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:24,280 reminiscent of Manhattan, complete with actors in zombie makeup and props like a New York-style 125 00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:27,600 taxi and a fake subway entrance. 126 00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:33,400 Well, alrighty, folks, it's time for the quote of the day. 127 00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:39,040 And today, our quote

00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:53,120 And what might that be, Christopher Robin? 130 00:10:53,120 --> 00:11:00,160 You're braver than you believe, and stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think. 131 00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:14,120 But the most important thing is, even if we are apart, I'll always be with you. 132 00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:17,920 I'll always be with you. 133 00:11:17,920 -->
