the school year. the last di of school is june 13th. jobina fortson joins us live. jobina, any progress today? >> well, there was a surprise today. talks weren't supposed to continue until tomorrow, but the district did reach out to the union, wanting to go back to the table. so they did that around 1:00 today. i was told the talks were supposed to wrap up around 7:00. we received a release from the district which appears they stopped for today and without a resolution. >> we want justice. >> it seems like no one expected the new haven teachers strike to last this long. it's day 10, now the longest in the state. the school year there have been six. >> it's a really troubling time at the moment. i'm really trying to figure fig out what the plan is. >> matthew lamb is a senior. in case he and his classmates never return to school, the district plans to calculate grades use league different data points.

around for more than 100 years. >> stephens estimates there are 3,000 to 3500 fuel cell vehicles in the bay area. he expects as many as one thousand true zero customers will be impacted this week, and anticipates true zero will be able to get some of its stations back online in the coming days. hansen says despite the hiccup, she still loves her hydrogen fueled vehicle. >> i would absolutely get another one, i must say. >> in the meantime, she plans to use her husband's gas-fueled vehicle instead. we reached out to the three car manufacturers of hydrogen fueled vehicles. they all got back to us. honda says they're offering customers free rentals, and it won't impact their 21-day allowance. they say customers should contact customer service. toyota says they're doing the same thing on a case-by-case basis, and hyundai tells us they're monitoring the situation closely. in south san francisco, melanie woodrow, abc7 news. >> all right, melanie, thank you. all right. time to check on our weather because that temperature is

spots as well. >> well, wooer in june. thanks, spencer. >> yeah we are. let's talk a little warriors tonight. >> anthony flores is in. >> that's right. big win and they need rest and relaxation until wednesday. klay thompson hurt his hamstring. will

now sports from abc7 news. >> andre hit the shot, but the

mvp of last night's warriors' win over the raptors might be boogie cousins. steve kerr took a chance by putting him in the lineup for game two. 11 points, 10 rebounds and 6 assists in 28 inspiring minutes. he also had a pair of blocks. and at the raptors secondguessing about driving to the basket. boogie has been slowed all season by injuries, but came up big when the dubs needed him most. >> this is what i've worked for my entire career, to be on this stage, to have this opportunity, you know, to play for something. but once they told me i had a chance, a slight chance of being able to return, it basically was up to me and the work and the time i put in behind the injury. it was up to me. i don't ke a oor an i've seen how quick this game can be taken away from you. so every chance i get to go out there and play, i'm going leave it on the floor. >> all right. game three isn't until wednesday, and steve kerr migh be making some lineup changes. kevon looney out with a broken

collarbone. this just into our newsroom. mri on klay thompson, a hamstring strain. he is questionable. he will test it on wednesday to see if he can ready to go for game three. last night abc7 news sports director larry beil, donald foil and carrie keating broke down the win and look ahead to game three. >> here with my after the game crew, donald foil, kerry keating, what an effort by the warriors. the bodies are falling left and right. boogie cousins rises to the occasion. steph curry, as he always does, and they even this series at a game apiece. >> you can tell a lot of things in the game. but to me, the effort in this game on the defensive end is what defined the warriors. this is what the warriors do when they're the best. playing great defense would translate into great offense. i love this effort tonight. they're going to get better on shooting the ball. but the defensive effort was amazing tonight. >> the last man standing was

andre iguodala. he had the injury at the end of game one. thankfully was able to stay on two feet, hit the big three at the end to seal the game. now we're going to find out who is available to play in game three pretty soon. >> you have kevon looney who is banged up. well don't know about the status of kevin durant. what a boost it would be if kevin durant came jogging out of the tunnel at oracle arena. you could see the raptors thinking oh, no. what do you look for in game three? >> willis reed moment. i think for me this consistent effort defensively obviously seeing what steve kerr have in terms of bodies. but i think this effort will give you a win at home. >> this will be the shining moment of the season obviously of a long run at oracle arena. i expect the fans and everybody in gold out there to be as rowdy as ever, to give a really, really big boost to what the warriors need to help with whoever is available. >> mvp the next few days, dr. rick scalabrine. you are on the clock. let's see how good you are.

get everybody back on the court. we'll see what happens on wednesday in game three. >> thanks, guys. the entire nba finals can be seen right here only on abc7 wednesday. larry and company will be live at oracle arena for our pregame show tipping off at 5:00 p.m. and check out after the game and immediately following game three. now, if you're someone who thinks the nfl preseason is too long, you're not alone. even the commissioner agrees. roger goodell says four preseason games is just too many. he wants to reduce that number when the current collective bargaining agreement expires after the 2020 season. the nfl has long been in favor of shortening the preseason in order to expand the regular season to as many as 18 games. >> i'm not sure in talking to the coaches that four preseason games is necessary anymore to get ready for a season to players., velop there are other ways of doing that. we've had a lot of discussions about that, and i feel like what we should be doing is always of

the highest quality. i'm not sure preseason games meet that. >> and some baseball notes. cal first baseman andrew vaughn was selected number three overall by the white sox. and the giants picked up arizona state outfielder hunter bishop tenth overall. he is from serra high school. so the warriors practice tomorrow. we should know more about kevin durant. and steve kerr said, he only needs one practice and he'll put him in the lineup. we'll see if he'll be available on wednesday and klay will have to test it out. >> at least you have the hometown crowd. >> and steph curry. >> good point. >> join us tonight at 9:00 on kofy. eight climbers missing, including one from california. why experts say everest is a picnic compared to this mountain. while you were sleeping, your iphone may have been sharing your data. what you need to know about hidden app trackers. and coming up on abc abc
