• Clippers find something in reserve, rally past Spurs for 1st Intuit Dome win

  INGLEWOOD — It was a random suggestion, maybe even silly. Should either James Harden or Norman Powell, the Clippers’ best offensive threats, be on the court at all times?
  While not a serious question, Clippers coach Tyronn Lue is searching for ways to secure victories, especially down the stretch. On Monday, he might have stumbled upon a solution, and it didn’t involve his number one option.
  A group of four bench players and center Ivica Zubac got the Clippers back into a game

• Cam Reddish makes debut in Lakers’ rotation: ‘He certainly earned some trust’

  05-11-2024 06:06 via ocregister.com
  
  DETROIT — With the Lakers searching for athleticism and perimeter defense, Cam Reddish made his rotation debut during Monday night’s 115-103 loss to the Detroit Pistons.
  Reddish, who made his season debut in the Oct. 30 blowout loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers, made his first appearance on Monday midway through the second quarter, subbing in for forward Rui Hachimura during the rotation pattern when third-year wing Max Christie typically comes in to close the first half.

• Lakers fall to Pistons despite Anthony Davis’ 37 points

  DETROIT — The reasoning could be the Lakers were on the fourth game of a five-game, 11-day road trip.
  It could be that despite not being too far apart in the average ages of their teams (24.278 vs. 25.285), the Detroit Pistons are equipped with more speed and athleticism, especially in the backcourt.
  It could be that the Lakers took an opponent lightly, given that the Pistons have been one of the league’s worst teams over the last half-decade.
  Or it could be a mixture that led to the

  Recent sweeping changes to how the nation handles election results should prevent a repeat of the near-constitutional crisis four years ago.
  For months, former President Donald Trump has been laying the groundwork to challenge the results, claiming that noncitizens are voting in droves and swing-state election officials are cheating.

  The putting green at Shandin Hills Golf Club is scarred with weeds and brown patches, the decrepit clubhouse is yellow-tagged and the golfers are angry.
  As it turns out, those are probably good things for critics of the city-owned course in San Bernardino and the management companies that have been operating it. That’s because conditions are so bad that the city has pushed the 100-acre public golf course high up the priority list for badly needed capital repairs.
