[lea] i'm a retired art teacher. [steve] we met online about 10 years ago. as i got older, my hearing was not so good so i got hearing aids. my vision was not as good as it used to be, got a change in prescription. but the this missing was my memory. i saw a prevagen commercial and i thought,

"that makes sense." i just didn't have to work so hard to remember things. prevagen. healthier brain. better life. (vo) at wells fargo, direct deposits come up to i just didn't have to work so hard to remember things. two days early with early pay day. what if everything came two days early? (hero) have a good weekend! alright now... have a good weekend. (co-worker) but it's wednesday... (co-worker 2) see you monday! (co-worker 3) am i missing something? (hero) it's the weekend baby... see you later. (vo) like getting things two days early? when it comes to payday, you can with wells fargo. (co-worker 4) what are you doing this weekend?

larry: earlier this -- early in the season, the 49ers struggled to crack 10 in a game. then they trade for mccaffrey and purdy takes over at quarterback. now they're averaging 35 per game. trying to shut down all the

niners weapons will be a major task for dallas sunday in the divisional playoff matchup. the niners-cowboys rivalry goes back to the 1970's but purdy and mccaffrey who happen to be undefeated as starters for the red and gold weren't on the team last season when they went to dallas and knocked them off. they're excited to leave their imprint on this decades-listening story. >> this is going to be some kind of netflix documentary or anything like that. i'm not trying to make it bigger than that. but very thankful to be part of it, the rivalry and everything. having to come back, obviously they have 2023. so it's going to be a good one. >> cowboys-niners, must-watch tv. i think that's what everyone wans to see. two fantastic teams with a ton of history. >> you let the natural emotions take place on gameday. last lot of history between the two teams. happy to be part of it. >> you wouldn't think many teams would want to see the 49ers in the playoffs. they've won 11 straight. they have so many weapons. cowboys insist this matchup is

the one they wanted all along. they've been itching for redemption after losing in the final seconds at home. this play running out the clock. time expired. they lost in the wild card round to the niners. san francisco favored by four. dallas, they can't wait. >> i didn't sleep much but yeah, we're excited. tremendous. it's thursday, yeah, we're jacked up. >> using that loss last year as motivation, just kind of, the focal point, i guess, of the resiliency we carried into theoff season, carried into this year. >> this is what i wanted. this is what i wanted. this -- the three-headed dragon we need to cut one of the heads off. i don't care who it is. we got it lined up. either way you're going to meet them at some point. >> who wants to see mike mccarthy do his dance at levi's? nobody. since beating the celtics in the finals, warriors kind of me andered through this regular

season dealing with a lack of motivation and gyres. boston got the best record in the league. finals rematch tonight in boston. motivated warriors are different warriors. like they actually want to play. klay thompson on fire early. 20 points in the first half. hit four threes. final seconds before halftime. vintage steph. i'll take that, thank you very much. launching from brookline. the heave is back. warriors by one at the break. curry with 15 at he the half. third quarter. watch curry specifically. he gives the ball up. runs to the left corner. celtics lose him. down it goes. warriors up by seven. 89-82 after three. but turnovers late just killed golden state. jalen brown, former cal star. with authority. they're going toover time. tied at 106-106. all the highlights tonight at 11:00. for the second straight day, a norcal native orchestrated a bigup set at the australian open.

jensen brooksby taking on the two-seed casper ruud, the norwegian, advancing to the third round. mackenzie mcdonald of piedmont who beat the number one, nadal, yesterday. so bear tennis players making their mark down under. i tell you. what watching steph teand warriors play, when they are motivated against an opponent they really want to beat, it's just a whole different feel than a lot of the regular season games where time to focus up. i think purdy is focused. it's not about a netflix documentary. it's bigger than a netflix documentary. it's the division playoffs. karina: coming up tonight on abc 7 celebrity jeopardy begins at 8:00, followed at 9:00 by "the parent test," stick around for "the chase" starting at 10:00, then abc 7 news at 11:00. that's it for this edition of abc 7 news. dan: for all of us here, we

appreciate your time have a great evening. we'll see you again at 11:00. hold on... you're a night manager and mom. and the bill payer, baker, and nightlight maker? that's a lot. so, adding “and student” might feel daunting. but what if a school could be there for all of you? career, family, finances and mental health. -happy birthday. -happy birthday buddy.
