Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.The Chicago Bulls have made the NBA finals - but not without a struggle after the LA Pacers took them to the seventh game of the Eastern Conference play-offs for the first time since 1992.
The Bulls were struggling until the middle of the fourth quarter when they pulled back the deficit, winning 88-83 to make their sixth finals in a row.
Like last year, their opponents are Utah Jazz. But with the series starting tonight the Bulls will be tired, while Utah are fresh and rested. They also have home-court advantage, and they won both of the normal season fixtures against the Bulls this year. Chicago's winning streak could very well be at risk.
