NEW YORK -- The shell of Gawker has settled with Hulk Hogan for $31 million, ending a years-long fight that led to the media companys bankruptcy, the shutdown of Gawker.com and the sale of Gawkers other sites to Spanish-language broadcaster Univision.Gawker founder Nick Denton in a Wednesday blog post said that the saga is over.The invasion of privacy case, which revolved around a sex tape posted on Gawker.com, resulted in a $140 million verdict won by the former professional wrestler in a Florida court. It became even more notorious when it emerged that Silicon Valley billionaire Peter Thiel had secretly bankrolled the suit. Thiel was outed as gay by a Gawker-owned website in 2007.The settlement instead means Hogan will get $31 million as well as 45 percent of the proceeds from potential sale of Gawker.com, said Elizabeth Traub, a spokeswoman for Hogans lawyer, David Houston. Gawker.com is dormant, but its archives remain online.Houston said in an emailed statement that all parties have agreed it is time to move on.Denton said in the Wednesday post that he was confident that an appeals court would have reduced the $140 million verdict, but an all-out war with Thiel would have cost too much, and hurt too many people, and there was no end in sight ... Gawkers nemesis was not going away. Thiel has said he would support Hogan, whose real name is Terry Bollea, until his final victory.Denton also said Wednesday that as part of the settlement, three true stories -- about Hogan and two others who had also filed suit -- are being removed from the web. Univision, which bought Gawker Medias other sites for $135 million, has already deleted several posts from the properties it now owns, which include tech blog Gizmodo and women-oriented site Jezebel, because they were tied to litigation.The two others mentioned by Denton, a journalist and a man who says he invented email, will settle with Gawker for a total of $1.25 million, the bankruptcy court papers indicated Wednesday.Denton himself also had to file for personal bankruptcy because of the Florida courts verdict. Court documents filed Wednesday said there have been settlement talks between Gawker and Denton as well, although they have not reached a final settlement.

TORONTO -- Drake Night or not, the Golden State Warriors pushed aside the Toronto Raptors.Though the Canadian rapper and Toronto Raptors global ambassador had never had to witness his hometown team losing on his special night the first three years it had been held, he was powerless to stop the star-studded Warriors leaving town with a 127-121 victory Wednesday night.It didnt stop him chirping the Golden State bench at various points, particularly in the first quarter when the Raptors were up by 10 points.Hes been talking junk for a couple weeks now, talking about they were going to beat us and that its Drake night, Draymond Green. He may be a little disappointed.Stephen Curry had 35 points and Kevin Durant added 30 in the victory, the Warriors fifth straight overall as well as their fifth consecutive win over Toronto.While Golden State coach Steve Kerr was a little upset at how the first quarter unfolded, giving up 38 points to the Raptors, he termed the second quarter, one of the best quarters weve played.Case in point, the Warriors restricted the Raptors to 5-for-24 shooting, outscoring them 32-15 and ending the half on a 21-4 run to seize a 66-53 lead at the break. The 66 points were the most the Raptors have given up in a first half at home since surrendering 71 to the Los Angeles Clippers on Jan. 25, 2014.While incorporating Durant into the offense remains a work in progress, the team continued to share the ball around the likes of former most valuable players Curry and Durant, with the team finishing with 33 assists on 44 baskets. It was the seventh time this season that the team has had 30-plus assists.Offensively were moving the ball, no one is in each others way and were making shots, Durant said. We could have had 40 assists tonight.DeMar DeRozan had a team-high 34 points for the Raptors, while Kyle Lowry added 24 as Toronto lost back-to-back games for the first time this year. Toronto lost 121-117 in Cleveland against the NBA-champion Cavvaliers Tuesday night.ddddddddddddDeRozan, who was 17 for 17 from the free-throw line, is the first NBA player with nine 30-point games in his teams first 11 games since former Chicago Bulls superstar Michael Jordan in 1987-88.It was scant consolation for the NBAs leading scorer, who is averaging 33.3 points per game.We played both of the best teams in the NBA, he said. We were right there with them and had a couple stretches where we could put it away. We gave it away.TIP INS:Warriors: Kerr is one win away from the 150th coaching victory of his career. With 33 assists and a 50.6 success rate from the field, the Warriors set a franchise record with a fifth straight game with at least 30 assists and shooting over 50 percent. ...
