• Clippers cruise past Mavericks in dominant win

  06-04-2025 07:15 via ocregister.com
  
  INGLEWOOD — Seeing Clippers star Kawhi Leonard in the starting lineup isn’t unusual. But seeing the two-time NBA Finals MVP on the court on the second night of a back-to-back is rare, a phenomenon that hasn’t happened at all this season.
  In fact, Leonard has not participated fully in a back-to-back series since the 2023-24 season when he appeared in 68 games.
  But there he was Saturday, not just playing, but playing without the hesitation that might have accompanied him in the p

  SAN ANTONIO — Houston’s suffocating defense wiped away a 14-point deficit over the final eight minutes and erased Cooper Flagg and Duke’s title hopes Saturday in a 70-67 stunner over the Blue Devils at the Final Four.
  Duke made a grand total of one field goal over the last 10 1/2 minutes of this game. The second-to-last attempt was a step-back jumper in the lane by Flagg that J’Wan Roberts disrupted. The last was a desperation heave by Tyrese Proctor that caught nothing a

  ARCADIA — This time, in her bid for the big stage, Tenma passed the audition.
  Last fall, the filly was shaping up as a Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies contender after a strong summer at Del Mar, only to run a poor third behind two other Bob Baffert-trained 2-year-olds in the final prep race at Santa Anita and miss the championship event at Del Mar.

  LOS ANGELES — So who is the Kings’ most bitter rival now? Is it the Ducks, the neighborhood irritant who is again out of the playoff picture? Or is it the Edmonton Oilers, who have knocked L.A. out in the first round three straight springs?
  Well, consider: The Oilers, minus injured stars Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl and No. 1 goalie Stuart Skinner, were in downtown L.A. for a Saturday matinee, and early in the game No. 90 in Edmonton blue and white was booed the first time he to

  ANAHEIM — In yet another subtle move with preservation in mind, Mike Trout was moved into the designated hitter spot with a late lineup change Saturday, while Jorge Soler was given a chance to play in the field.
  Manager Ron Washington insisted Trout’s move out of right field for the day wasn’t because of injury. Call it a nod to injury prevention.
  “It’s just to get Mike off his feet,” Washington said a little more than three hours before first pitch, immediate

  LOS ANGELES — With his team looking to create separation against a New Orleans Pelicans team that wouldn’t go away easily Friday night at Crypto.com Arena, Lakers coach JJ Redick leaned on the collective offense prowess of his three best players to close out the game.
  And he did so by having them all directly involved in the offensive actions to keep the Pelicans off balance.

  PHILADELPHIA — During Roki Sasaki’s first two starts, the Dodgers had to use their imagination to visualize the pitcher they believe he can be.
  On a chilly Saturday in Philadelphia, they at least got a glimpse of it. Sasaki retired 12 of 13 batters at one point and pitched into the fifth inning for the first time in his three MLB starts, allowing just one run as the Dodgers beat the Phillies 3-1.

  Shirin Valiat is a lot.
  The Houston event planner is bold, opinionated, self-absorbed, and maybe not all that grateful for the niece who bails her out after an arrest for attempted prostitution in Aspen. But by the end of “The Persians,” the debut novel from Sanam Mahloudji, you too might be affectionately referring to her as “Auntie Shirin.”
  Indeed, “Auntie Shirin” is the title of Mahloudji’s original short story, published in McSweeney’s Quarterl
