  22-11-2024 07:32 via ocregister.com
  
  LOS ANGELES — Playing against one of the league’s biggest and best defensive teams, Lakers coach JJ Redick emphasized the importance of physicality.
  And he acknowledged that aspect of the game as something he’ll “probably” reinforce with his team, at least every now and then.
  And when it mattered most, the Lakers met physicality with physicality. But crucial missed free throws down the stretch came back to haunt them, resulting in a 119-118 loss to the Orlando Magic

  LOS ANGELES — Lakers coach JJ Redick has made it clear he doesn’t want to have too many different starting lineups, barring injuries necessitating change.
  But with rookie wing Dalton Knecht’s recent hot streak as a starter in light of Rui Hachimura missing his fourth consecutive game because of a sprained left ankle on Thursday night against Orlando, Redick has considered his options for when Hachimura returns to the floor.

  Certainly, the advertisers on Thursday’s MLB Network announcement of the Most Valuable Player awards didn’t think so. Ads featuring Shohei Ohtani were lined up to go right after the announcement of the National League MVP award. I’m sure there were fallback ads, but why would anyone think they were needed?

• Rams tackle Warren McClendon Jr. makes most of second chance

  22-11-2024 03:17 via ocregister.com
  
  LOS ANGELES — The beginning of the season did not go the way Rams offensive tackle Warren McClendon Jr. hoped it would.
  Sure, the second-year lineman had more playing time than expected due to injuries, but he did not make the most of that opportunity. In Week 1 at right tackle, he felt like his performance was adequate, though not up to his own standards with five pressures allowed. Week 2, flipped over to the left side, was a different kind of challenge as he allowed three sacks.

Anthony Brown had trained plenty of high school athletes before, a group with natural attention spans as thin as the blades of grass under their cleats, and Brown could only assume the worst from a kid who wouldn’t even glorify him with a response.

  The Fullerton City Council advanced discussions this week about how to comply with a looming state housing mandate.
  The state is requiring Fullerton to imminently approve a plan to zone for at least 13,209 new housing units by 2029.
