Lakers’ fourth-quarter rally falls short as Nuggets win Game 1

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:24:22 GMT

DENVER — Forget the mile-high altitude, the strength-sapping lack of oxygen found here at the base of the Rocky Mountains, the Lakers looked as if they were running through waist-deep mud in the early minutes of Game 1 of the Western Conference finals on Tuesday night.Blame the Denver Nuggets, too. They ran circles around the Lakers while taking a 132-126 victory at Ball Arena, avoiding losing home-court advantage in the best-of-seven series, as the Memphis Grizzlies and Golden State Warriors did in the first two rounds of the playoffs.The Lakers just couldn’t match the Nuggets’ early energy.“It took us a half to get into the game,” LeBron James said. “That was pretty much the ballgame right there. We’ve got to understand we’ve got to start from the tipoff. They punched us in the mouth to start. They had (as many) offensive rebounds (13) as we had total rebounds (13) in the first half.”But then a funny thing happened in the second half.The Lakers rallied, narrowing what had been a 2...

Spurs win NBA draft lottery, right to select Victor Wembanyama

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:24:22 GMT

By ANDREW SELIGMAN | AP Sports WriterCHICAGO — Victor Wembanyama is set to follow in the footsteps of David Robinson and Tim Duncan, and the San Antonio Spurs are ready to welcome the French phenom.It sure seems like an ideal pairing.The Spurs hit the lottery jackpot on Tuesday, landing the No. 1 pick and the right to draft one of the most highly touted prospects in NBA history.Not since LeBron James made the jump from St. Vincent-St. Mary High School in his hometown of Akron, Ohio, to the NBA two decades ago has a player come with this much fanfare. At 7-foot-3 and with the ability to shoot like a wing player and pass like a point guard, the 19-year-old Wembanyama is expected to make an immediate impact.And he had a message for San Antonio.“I’m trying to win a ring ASAP,” Wembanyama told ESPN after the lottery results. “So be ready.”It’s the third time the Spurs have won the lottery, and on both previous occasions they made picks that paid off for decades. They chose Robinson in 19...

Oakland A’s reliever Trevor May nearly retired due to anxiety, says MLB’s new pitch clock made it worse

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:24:22 GMT

OAKLAND — There was Trevor May, the Oakland A’s highest-paid player, standing on the mound at the Coliseum on a Sunday in early April and wondering if this was the end of his decade-long baseball career.Four walks in a single inning. He couldn’t believe it.“For the first time since my debut (in 2014),” he said. “And my debut was bad. I don’t want to live like that anymore.”May, 33, had long before developed a strategy for handling his anxiety on the mound. He knew when to slow the game down, take a few breaths, harness the overwhelming nerves and get back to work. But not in 2023, the first Major League Baseball season with a clock that requires pitchers to throw  the ball every 15 seconds with the bases empty and every 20 seconds with a runner aboard.Now there’s not much time to determine the best pitch and generate the confidence to throw it. There’s barely enough time for a single cycle of deep breaths. And certainly not enough time for the internal monologue that can...
