pacific northwest. so we're not expecting the bomb cyclone, but we certainly are going to get soaked by that atmospheric river. northern california is getting rain and snow right now as we time this out for you first thing tomorrow morning, 5:00. it's in the north bay. it starts to slide at 9 a.m. so the commute begins in the north bay. pretty wet by 3:00 in the afternoon. everyone is starting to get the rain going into 6 p.m. the rainfall is going to vary quite a bit as we take you through thursday afternoon. not as much in the southern part of our viewing area. a few hundreds to a few tenths of an inch. but look at the north bay. we're talking close to a half a foot of rain over ukiah clear lake, looking at over four inches 4.5in in yountville. flood watch there in the north bay tomorrow morning to saturday morning. this is where we're likely going to see flooding on small streams, creeks and roads. now keep in mind the rivers can handle it so the rivers are okay. wind advisory for the north bay. the san francisco bay shoreline starts tonight. goes until thursday morning.

those gusts up to 45 miles an hour will take down tree limbs and certainly knock out a few power, knock out a few power lines. so power outages are certainly possible. tonight. the winds pick up tomorrow morning over 40 mile an hour winds, especially near the coast and over the higher terrain. as we look at that wind right now, it is starting to pick up oak ridge 27 mount tam, showing you a shaky view. and here's a look at that storm impact scale. it is a two for tomorrow. heavy rain and flooding in the north bay. gusty winds for all areas. light to moderate rain elsewhere. full. look at the timeline and the concerns coming up. >> dan okay sandy, thanks a lot. as sandhya mentioned, the north bay is expected to bear the brunt of that atmospheric river. so abc seven news reporter leslie brinkley went to sonoma county for a look at how people are bracing for the rough weather. >> reporter this inflatable dam in the russian river near forestville marks the start of the winter rainy season, when forecasts show river flowwhen increasing and the dam is then

lowered. last year, it was mid-december. >> this year it's now we're hearing atmospheric river. and while we can't anticipate how much water is going to come through, we know a lot of that rain water will be in our river system, and that means a lot of high, fast moving water. the inflatable dam is filled with water. it holds 180,000 gallons of water. so we're slowly releasing that water back into the river. >> it will take another 24 hours for the dam to sit completely on the bottom. and if this atmospheric river materializes as forecast, the water could be rising up to where i'm standing by the weekend. a fishery team was also on site to remove underwater cameras and lights to protect the gear from fast moving waters. they're part of the monitoring program that so far has tallied 1200 chinook salmon traveling up river in the last month, a healthy number the russian river could peak at over 24ft by the weekend, and

residents of guerneville know the drill. >> clean your gutters, clean your storm drains, get your batteries for your flashlights. charge your radios. charge your cell phone. fill the fuel tank in your vehicle. get ready. when i say we've been through it many times, we've been through it for a lifetime. >> in the north bay, i'm leslie brinkley, abc seven news. >> from the north bay to the east bay, where work is already underway in san leandro to trim some trees before tomorrow's storm. sky seven captured video of the eucalyptus trees along san leandro creek. some stretch hundreds of feet into the air, so trimming them is certainly a delicate operation. how often look at this. crews used a low flying helicopter to take away the branches. off it goes. they evaluated the health of each tree and prioritized the ones that they determine may fall during this upcoming storm. >> it's quite a little bit of a disturbance for us neighbors, but. but we're actually happy to

see the trees leave the creek and they're going to replant indigenous trees in its in its place. >> the work along san leandro creek will continue throughout the week to protect nearby homes and keep the area from becoming cluttered with debris. >> the city of alameda is offering sandbags for residents and businesses. the self-serve station is located on lexington street at west ranger avenue on the old navy base. there is a limit. people can only take up to five sandbags. they're also offering sandbags in san francisco, abc seven news reporter dion lim shows us how residents there and along the peninsula are gearing up for the season's first big drenching at the pacifica pier tuesday. >> there were plenty of people taking in the waves outside to enjoy the last of the sunshine. those elevated wave heights perhaps a harbinger of impending rain. >> my husband owns a water damage restoration company, so he's getting all his equipment ready. all of his his employees notified to be on call.

>> the pier had been partially reopened after closing due to storm damage earlier in the year. the department of public works warns the pier may close once again if the rough surf persists to the north. at the san francisco public works operations yard, we found a steady stream of residents loading up their trunks with sandbags and getting ready for the expected half inch of rainfall wednesday. >> we just moved into our place so we're not sure if there's going to be flooding or not, so we're just trying to be prepared. >> 12,000 sandbags are available to residents with a ten per person limit. >> the water doesn't drain fast enough and it starts to creep into the garage. >> in parts of the city prone to flooding, like the area around 17th and folsom streets, these signs are posted alerting people that flood barriers will be installed by the public utilities commission tuesday night. stable cafe has seen its share of flooding in years past, even closing for over a week in january. they are now on high alert. >> within like ten minutes, it was just like a completely

flooded. it was like people were trapped inside for a little bit. >> in addition to clearing storm drains, san francisco's dpw is also ready for high winds to avoid scenes like this downed tree branches across the city, including near dolores park. following storms in early january and february. we're going to have our tree crews on duty on call. >> we do see at the beginning of storm season that more trees might come down and as as it goes forward into the winter, so heavy rains, saturated grounds means that trees can come down. >> the department of public works really wanted me to hammer home the importance of keeping storm drains like this clear of debris and leaves. they also are encouraging the public to call 3-1-1 if you see downed branches or downed trees. if you're interested in those sandbags, the department of public works has them available at their operations center from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. until saturday in san francisco. dion lim abc seven news. >> and track the rain with the abc seven bay area app. you can

the allegations, and she says she isn't stepping down. in just the last hour, sheriff corpus issued a statement on the board of supervisors actions, saying in part, quote, today's vote by the board of supervisors was wrongheaded and anti-democratic. i will fight it tooth and nail. i am not going anywhere. >> tomorrow, the new transition team for san francisco mayor elect daniel lowry is scheduled to have its first meeting. >> that's where the mix of ten cochairs and advisors will begin. the unofficial onboarding process to get lowry ready to hold public office. >> abc seven news reporter monica madden talked to two of those cochairs. and you have the latest on monica. yeah, as we all heard, daniel lowry said over and over again, he promised to bring in a world class team of leaders. >> so now we're getting a peak of who might be involved later in his administration. based on this transition team, the mix of tech, nonprofit and governmental leaders all hoping to be part of the shift in san francisco city leadership that lowry promised to voters. >> we're coming from different backgrounds, have different areas of expertise. >> former san francisco fire

chief joanne hayes-white is one of seven people tapped to help mayor elect lowry get ready for office. >> he's a problem solver, and he knows that he doesn't have all the answers, so that's why he's putting a really well-rounded team together. >> openai ceo sam altman is one of the biggest names of tech players on the team, along with former twitter cfo ned segal, mission asset fund ceo jose quinonez, sf democratic party chair nancy tung and police commander paul yep. lastly, michael tubbs of stockton knows a thing or two about being an underdog. as one of the youngest mayors ever elected to office. how is that framing your advice to lori? >> embracing being new, embracing being able to ask questions? because i think t of things people take for granted what i found by simply asking why or why do we do it like this? or can you show me the policy? or can you show me the results? we're able to change a lot of things because things were just happening, because it was the way it was always done, and not necessarily because it was the best way to do something. >> the team ready to collaborate. >> usually those conversations

are siloed and the tech people talk to tech people and the government people talk to the government people and our people talk to nonprofit people. >> hayes-white is hoping to break down city hall's silos to improve things like public safety response. >> the fentanyl deaths were down quite significantly, but still way too many. so i think one of the things that we're really going to look at and that i'm going to recommend looking at, is this crossover that needs to exist between departments. it's instead of working in a silo that, you know, the police are involved, the fire department is involved. the sheriff's department potentially, and department of public health take a look at that, those relationships and see if there's something that we can do a little bit more efficiently, all with the goal of helping lori execute his promise to voters, making san francisco safer, cleaner and friendlier to business. >> we're going to do everything in our power to make sure that san francisco is once again considered and is a world class american city. >> now, sometimes we do see members of the transition committee joining the administration later. michael tubbs is out of the running because he's going to be running

for lieutenant governor in 2026. but joanne hayes-white tells me that she would be open to joining laurie's team full time if she is asked. >> interesting. yeah. all right, monica, thank you so much. >> well, oakland's city finances are not bad. they're worse. the city's budget administration administrator calls them dire. you're going to hear what's being done about it. plus. >> it went up just fine. but coming down. that didn't go exactly as planned

from a street was hit and killed. police say the driver was going north on byrd avenue when he crashed into the branch, and the man trying to remove it. now, the driver took himself to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries. police say that he didn't realize he had hit anyone. no charges have been filed. bart police have revealed new details about what led to a transit cop shooting and wounding a woman in union city last night. the police shooting happened after authorities were called to investigate reckless driving in the station parking lot. >> during the traffic stop, the driver is alleged to have assaulted a police officer, which led to one of the officers discharging their firearm. >> the 32 year old woman wounded by the gunfire is expected to survive. she faces several felonies. the shooting is under investigation by bart's independent police auditor. union city station was closed for hours after the incident, but reopened in time for this morning's commute. >> oakland budget cuts are coming, but as of today, it's still not clear where or when

the city faces a $93 million deficit. and abc seven news reporter anser hassan looks at the numbers and you compare revenues to expenditures. >> we expect there to be a budgetary shortfall of $93.8 million. we don't expect to land this budget. >> oakland's finance department presented city council with new numbers based on the latest fiscal quarter. the situation is not bad in oakland. it's dire, says bradley johnson, the budget administrator. >> the fiscal circumstances in the current fiscal year are dire. the highlight here is we have already reached into our emergency reserve. this is the first time we have ever seen this occur since we've had this policy. >> the finance department says revenue is on target. the problem is increase in spending, mostly overtime, by oakland police. the report says the police and fire department combined for overspending by $80 million. >> your deficit over the next biennial is $280 million. there is no long term rescue coming

for us. >> a contingency budget was triggered september first. some cuts are already in effect, such as job freezes and cuts to travel. but now deeper cuts are required. the sale of the oakland coliseum won't be enough to resolve the current deficit. department heads have been instructed to come up with more cuts by friday. >> we set a schedule so that we can look at some additional reductions on december third. >> oakland city council president nikki bass knows tough decisions have to be made, but suggests the situation may not be as dire as discussed. unions have called for stronger tax and revenue collection. the city is looking to convert restricted funds to unrestricted funds, freeing upwards of $10 million, and there is a proposal to move upwards of $30 million set aside for lawsuits and put it towards the general fund, because we don't have you know, big litigation that we are currently in the middle of, that we will be able to manage that. cuts to police and fire are still likel.

those action items have to be decided on by the end of this year. in oakland, anser hassan, abc seven news. >> all right. we are talking about a lot of rain coming our way, but really, it depends on where you live. >> that's true. the atmospheric river is going to have effects on some areas. more than others. and meteorologist sandhya patel is tracking that. sandhya. >> yeah, that's right, dan and ama, the north bay is going to be the focus of the storm initially. let me show you live doppler seven. right now, this storm is bombing out. it is known as bomb cyclone. rapidly deepening area of low pressure just off the pacific northwest coast. this is going to head towards the pacific northwest and northwestern california, where they are expecting life threatening flooding. now that's from the national weather service. i do want to show you what we're going to get out of it. and that is the atmospheric river. that bomb cyclone is going to feed this atmospheric river into northern california, and the bay area. so we are going to get soaked, particularly in the north bay. as we look ae

california satellite radar, you will notice that there is snow falling in the mountains to our north. rain is coming in along the northern california coast. the highest flood threat is going to be focused in the north bay, but particularly high. and life threatening will be along parts of mendocino lake and sonoma counties. certainly will be increasing the flooding risk as the days go on. so here is a look at the storm concerns tomorrow. ponding on the roadways. it's a high likelihood in the north bay. same thing for the creek flooding tree limbs down with the winds picking up just about anybody could see that and a few power outages. it's going to be in the medium to high category. we look at a live picture right now from our emeryville camera, and it is really calm as you can see on live doppler seven, a lot of cloud cover that's actually not moisture, that's hitting the ground. it's up in the clouds. eventually we will see that changing 40s and 50s on those temperatures. right now, if you recall this morning, it was frigid. we had upper 20s in places like fairfield this morning, a lovely view from san jose

camera right now tomorrow strong atmospheric river moves in. it is a level two highest impacts in the north bay and heading into early next week. we are looking at that wet pattern continuing off and on on our exclusive abc seven news storm impact scale. tomorrow's storm is a moderate strength storm. a level two heavy rain and flooding will be focused in the north bay. gusty winds for any part of the bay area, and light to moderate rain in other parts of the region. as we time this out for you, 5:00 tomorrow morning, you're already starting to see the rain in a northern part of our viewing area. it starts to slide at 8:00. the north bay is just getting hit pretty hard. the oranges and the yellows indicating moderate to heavy rain. by noontime it's starting to move into the east bay, san francisco, the peninsula, and this will continue into the evening hours as we head into late tomorrow night. still raining. the rain continues into thursday morning, but notice that rain line starts to shift a little bit to the north where it will stall out. and then eventually on friday, move across the

entire bay area. looking at the rainfall projections taking you through saturday night. an inch in san jose, over seven inches in ukiah, everyone else in between. but when you get over a half a foot of rain in santa rosa, you can bet that there are going to be problems initially. the ground can take it, but as the rain continues to accumulate, that's going to cause damage. that's going to cause the flooding on streams and creeks, not the rivers so much because they can handle it. as we look at the winds out of the south, picking up at midnight at 8 a.m. over 45 mile an hour winds along the coast still gusty in the afternoon and going into the evening hours. a winter storm warning goes up for the sierra. it's already up until 10 p.m. tomorrow, above 4500ft, 2 to 4ft over the peaks, 10 to 20in above 4500 with gusts to 55. it's going to be impossible to difficult travel. i would not go and advise you to travel at this time. temperatures in the morning, 40s, 50s, stormy weather in the north bay initially eventually shifting southward. afternoon highs with windy conditions and

wet weather 50s and 60s. tomorrow the accuweather seven day forecast. it's a wet and windy day tomorrow, with that level two bringing a month's worth of rain to parts of the north bay in just a couple of days. wednesday. thursday two. tomorrow one. thursday friday. we have thunderstorm chance. it's a two showers. saturday it's a one. and then another round of rain with a two sunday, a one monday and tuesday. so ama and dan this looks more like winter. >> yes, it certainly does. thanks, sandhya. >> all right, coming up here. a child in the east bay may have bird flu without any known contact with an infected animal. ne, we're going to

a county. they say the child has been treated and is now recovering at home. the positive test showed low level detection of the virus. health officials say that indicates the child was likely not infectious. there was no known contact with an infected animal, but officials are investigating a possible exposure to wild birds. >> when you don't know how someone got infected with a virus like this, the implication is that there is more spread happening in a community setting and potentially from routes that we aren't fully aware of or are not fully understanding. >> doctor caron said went on to say that pets like dogs and outdoor cats can sometimes transmit bird flu if they've come into contact with an

infected bird. still unclear if that's what happened in this case. we are waiting on official confirmation by the cdc. >> all right. we're now less than ten days away to thanksgiving. if you can believe it. and the tsa says this season could set travel records. the tsa expects to screen a total of 18.3 million passengers over the thanksgiving holiday. the tsa is ten busiest days on record have all happened this year, so we could see a new record set in the next few weeks. united american, delta and southwest each say this will be their busiest thanksgiving ever. triple a says nearly 80 million people will travel somewhere for the thanksgiving holiday by plane, car or other means. that's also a record setting number. >> coming up next, the story of a san francisco struggle. the homeless crisis. tonight, we're putting the focus on one man, a case study for the issues. >> i'm going to take action, and i'm going to start the restraining order process. >> we follow the case through

crisis for years, simply housing people isn't enough when you're dealing with a population that struggles with mental health and substance abuse issues. >> abc seven news building a better bay area reporter lyanne melendez is here to show us one example of how our current laws and lack of treatment facilities affects not only these individuals, but also people who do have stable housing. >> and it's so frustrating because these people really, really need and deserve the help. but what happens right when you do everything right and the system fails? we found some neighbors who have been caught in the middle of a struggle to get one person, one person, the help they need, and these neighbors feel like they are the only ones paying a price. few of us will ever understand what goes on in the minds of someone with a mental illness. but most of us would agree that living on san francisco streets in these conditions should be categorized as inhumane. and so we call attention to 39 year old william

eaton. we've never met him. >> he's just an aggressive person. he'll you know, he would camp out in people's front yards. >> eaton goes by the name sapphire. >> and sapphire is an unhoused individual, spends a lot of time in the castro, a lot of time in devil's triangle and dolores heights. >> eaton claims to be a shaman. he has been in court several times for burglary, destruction of property and setting things on fire. >> he just runs through and destroys tons of plants. it's just a lot of vandalism. for years and years, most of those charges have been misdemeanors. >> eaton is not unlike other unhoused people in san francisco, living on the street with severe mental issues, except that things began to escalate with neighbors. >> what happened with me was i was out one morning, early one morning, and he tried to get into my house and luckily the door was locked and my wife

called me and she said, what do i do? i said, call 911. by the time i got back here, the cops had him in handcuffs and so on, and i said, well, that's it. that was in december, late december of last year. and so that's it for me. that's it. i've been involved with the neighborhood. you said that's it for me. that was it. i'm going to i'm going to take action and i'm going to start the restraining order process. >> rob cox says eaton is not allowed within 100 yards of his property in the castro. another neighbor who lives in nearby dolores heights, also took out a second restraining order against eaton. has he violated the restraining order at least four times? >> really? at least four times. i've had him rearrested at least four times. >> police say eaton is one of many people with mental health and drug issues caught in the court's revolving door. last may, after he violated the restraining order, the judge told him he had to attend anger management classes and comply with the treatment plan. that never happened. >> this most recent arrest was at the randall museum on an

arson charge. >> that was october 23rd, and eaton now faces felony charges. the district attorney's office asked the judge to keep him in custody. the judge, kenneth wine, agreed, but one week later, eaton was released on his own recognizance and ordered to report to assertive case management. five days a week to start treatment. here's what the district attorney told us. quote, we objected to the release because of te public safety risk the defendant poses. he has been ordered to assertive case management not once, but several times. yes, that's pretty standard. yeah, okay. but here we are. he's still not getting the help he needs. >> well, he's he's he's refusing the help that he needs. we can't we can't we can't force him into mental health treatment. right. >> so the last one, the assertive case management, the judge in that case said, okay, you have to report five times a week. he's not going to report five a week. >> i mean, that's the court's

side of it, which i'm not really a part of in terms of the, the checking in. >> absurd to think that he's going to show up. yeah. the intention of the legal system is not to punish those like eaton, but to offer help, except that the city is not set up to address this complicated problem. no one knows that better than the executive director of the department of emergency management, whose job is to coordinate operations to address encampments and offer people services. how difficult is this problem? yeah, well, i mean, we don't have an ability to just force people into treatment. >> and even when we should, we i mean, i think that we should have. you know, i wish that we had stronger laws to help people to get to a better place. we don't have the beds. enough of

those locked beds to take them to, and we don't have state resources for that either. >> eaton was arrested again and back in court on november 12th for violating his restraining order. this time, another judge, brian stretch, agreed to keep him in custody, but eaton was accidentally released from jail due to a snafu by the court. when we asked what happened, the spokesperson for the superior court told us, quote, no comment. now back out on the streets. eaton was expected to report to court on monday. we waited to see if he would appea. he didn't. >> and i feel bad for sfpd. i'm very close with the beat cops in the neighborhood. you know, they do their job and it's like, okay, this is this is who's not doing their job. i just think the courts aren't doing their job, but i think it's hard for them to do their job because there's no there's nowhere to put these people. so where do

you put them? and that's the big question. >> as you saw there william eaton failed to show up in court. we were there. and at that moment the judge issued a bench warrant for his arrest. now we can report that this evening he was found by sheriff deputies, and he is now in custody. but it's really frustrating. this revolving doo. right. and honestly, police, the sheriff's department, the district attorney, they all want to help these people. but, you know, so many obstacles and it's so difficult, right? for sure. >> yeah. it just perpetuates itself all the time. >> yeah. thank you. liane. >> well, breaking news, proposition 32 has officially failed. it would have raised california's minimum wage to $18 an hour. that's the highest in the country. the ap just called the race moments ago, two weeks after the election, the no votes tallied 50.8%. about 200,000 votes separated the two sides. >> coming up struggles on school campuses, students need a safe place to learn what's changed

>> some republican senators also agree. some believe the report's findings will come to light, whether it's released or not. >> i don't think this would be a matter of we don't have enough information. i think this will be a matter of is gates going to get a chance to respond or not? the confirmation process is his chance to do that. >> the house ethics committee will meet tomorrow to decide whether to release the report. christiane cordero, abc news, washington. >> we have a live update on the forecast next. and make sure you are prepared for the stormy weather. that's coming our way. it will be here tomorrow. >> the abc seven storm impact scale. >> heavy rain right on top of from 1 to 5. >> light to severe. know exactly how every storm will impact you. >> downed trees. road closures. >> be prepared with the storm impact

from students. it's all part of a newly released report from the council on american islamic relations, which surveyed students at 87 colleges and universities across california. and as abc seven news south bay reporter dustin dorsey tells us, the study identifies some of the biggest issues contributing to islamophobia in the state and here in the bay area.

>> a school should be a place where students can learn and live in peace. but many muslim students experience a veryslim different reality on california campuses, including stanford university student in monterrey. >> i remember the first day after october 7th receiving a phone call from my father, telling me to stay inside, lock my doors and be careful when i'm walking around campus. i didn't understand at first, but just after one week, his suggestions became a necessary part of my daily routine. the fear and anxiety i experience every time i leave my dorm has been overwhelming since last year. >> it's the same islamophobia that a majority of 720 students surveyed from 87 california colleges and universities feel, according to the 2024 council on american islamic relations campus climate report, islamophobia has become persistent, pervasive and normalized in colleges across the nation, and our muslim students are paying the price. >> unfortunately, the numbers paint a troubling picture. >> nearly half of these students reported harassment or discrimination on campus, with almost all of them saying it

came after october 7th, 2023. many worry nothing is being done to protect them, as 65% reported their school did not address the issues impacting the muslim community and uc berkeley student zaid yousef worries normalization and fears for safety have led to underreporting, especially post 9/11. >> we lived in a world where islamophobia is so normalized that even muslims sometimes feel that islamophobia is normal, that the casual life of a muslim entails islamophobia. almost every level. and so we ask the larger community to acknowledge this reality and work at undoing this normalization of islamophobia. >> these students worry how islamophobia may only increase under a new presidency, but they hope, by raising awareness with this report, change can come and the community can protect those at risk. >> there's definitely uncertainty about what the future will bring, and justifiably so. but at the same time, we do have hope in our allies. we have hope in our community, in our institutions, in organizations like care, who are doing amazing work to protect our rights. and we hope to keep fighting the good fight

for a safe and inclusive society for all in the south bay. >> dustin dorsey, abc seven news. >> and abc seven news does not tolerate hate or discrimination. it's why we've put together a list of local resources to help anyone facing that. you can find it at abc seven news.com. slash. take action. >> go there if you need to. in the meantime, let's talk more about this weather and the rain. >> yes, let's get the timing from meteorologist andy patel. sandhya. yeah. ama and dan. as we take a look at live doppler, seven mixed precipitation is already moving into northern california. it starts to approach our area and spread during the overnight. going into tomorrow morning. as you will notice, it's a level two for 5 a.m. it's up in the north bay. it starts to spread at 9 a.m. we will see light to moderate rain for the rest of the bay area, but the north bay gets the heaviest of the rain initially, and you will continue to see that wet weather going into late tomorrow night as well. tomorrow afternoon you're looking at 5060, windy and wet, looking ahead, that storm system is going to sit over the north bay on thursday and you will notice that it continues to move southward by friday. and then we're looking at

scattered showers saturday. more rain and wind on sunday. snow in the sierra. this pattern goes on into early next week when you add up all the rain through midnight sunday. we're looking at an inch to over seven inches up to our north, and then you add in tuesday as well, and you've got over nine inches at fort bragg. yeah, more than seven inches in santa rosa. the accuweather seven day forecast. brace yourselves. next seven days we've got a storm impact scale every day and a thunderstorm chance friday. >> that's remarkable. thank, andy. >> all right, let's get to sports. sports director larry beil is here. hey. yeah, well, let's talk about the warriors. >> they're doing great so far, but it should be the easiest shot in basketball, right? the free throw. so why are the warriors ranked dead last in the league? a look at the klang

they missed ten free throws and this has become a recurring theme early this season. now there are 30 teams in the nba and the warriors are playing dead last in free throw shooting at just under 70%. now last night the dubs went nine of 19 from the line and they lost by three. so you can see this will kill you in close games. warriors knw

this is something that needs to be corrected. >> got to work on it. obviously we've got to you know our guys have to get in the gym and find their rhythm, find their confidence from the line for sure. >> it is correctable. that's a good good thing. and we understand that the details do matter. like if you get maybe five more it changes the game. so get to get your work in. >> speaking of getting his work in last night, sharks rookie macklin celebrini became the third youngest player ever to score his first overtime game, winning goal. macklin recently turned 18, 18 years old, and he's this good because macklin's father, rick, works for the warriors. draymond green has seen macklin since he was just a little tiny kid, and he's one of his biggest fans. >> i am impressed by him, to say the least, and i'm looking forward to watch him chase greatness. and when you're being compared to the greats at 18, man, lebron james is pear. to compare to the greats at 18 and he

outlived it. mack has that thing. >> buster posey he's one of those greats. he's getting the old band back together in san francisco today, the giants announced they have hired former general manager bobby evans. he will serve in an advisory role. evans tenure was short lived from 2015 to 18, but he was with the organization during the championship years and helped for many years with their draft. just a couple of years ago, stephen vogt retired from playing. it waa great catcher. now he's the american league manager of the year. the former a's backstop led the cleveland guardians to a 94 win season, and to the alcs. he also had a stint with the giants in 2019. vogt becomes just the 10th manager ever to win the award in his very first season as skipper. brewers manager pat murphy was named the national league manager of the year. the 127th edition of the big game will be played this saturday at 1230. in berkeley, cal's five and four. stanford's three and seven. this is not exactly irresistible force against immovable object, right? but look, it's always fun when the rivals get

together. you never know what's going to happen. now, stanford in the david shaw era, they'd won nine in a row, but the golden bears have won four of the last five, including three straight. so the ax currently resides in berkeley. cal listed as a 14 point favorite, which is pretty steep in a rivalry game. >> it's called the big game for a reason because there's a lot at stake. however, this big game is even more important as it would even help us with bowl eligibility. so that's a big thing for our team is it's the big game. we wouldn't want it any other way. >> this is one of the truly great things about college football, is these rivalries that go back over 100 years, and people have memories of games, and hopefully it'll be another great one for stanford folk on on saturday. >> and still so weird to see the acc logo behind him. san jose state wide receiver nick nash was named a semifinalist for the biletnikoff award, given to the top receiver in the country. nash leads the nation in touchdown receptions with 14, with total catches, 95 receptions per game, receiving yards, receiving yards per game.

i could go on and on and on if it involves catching a ball, he leads it. he's also thrown for two touchdowns this season and the spartans are bowl eligible. now sports on abc seven, sponsored by smart and final. as far as the warriors are concerned, steph is like a 90% career free throw shooter. so the more free throws he shoots, the higher the average will go up. but everybody else has to has to raise their game and focus and concentrate. we sort of take throws for granted and it's a big part of the game, especially close games. like coach kerr said, more gym time and just just lock it in. >> yeah. all right. thanks, larry. >> tonight on abc seven 8:00. dancing with the stars at ten. a special edition of 2020 vegas lights and country nights countdown to the cma awards. then stay with us for abc seven news at 11. remember, we are streaming 24 over seven. get the abc seven bay area app and join us whenever you want, wherever you are. that's it for this edition of abc seven news. thanks for joining us. i'm ama daetz and i'm dan ashley for sandhya patel, larry beil, all of us. >> we appreciate your time. have a great evening. we'll see you
