The Lakers’ defeats seem to either be blowouts or games where they allow teams, not at their standard talent-wise, to come back from a double-digit deficit. In this one, they held their largest lead of 13 with just over nine minutes to go but over the final 9:20, they were outscored 27-14 despite the visitors missing key starters in Harrison Barnes and Richaun Holmes. Going by their 4-0 record in overtimes this season, the Lakers would have ideally not minded playing some extra basketball but the Kings never went away....

Gil Cedillo introduced a motion that would name a part of Elysian Park Avenue after Scully, who has been the Dodgers announcer since 1950 and moved from Brooklyn to Los Angeles with the team in 1958. “He is known for his dulcet voice, lyrically descriptive style, and signature introduction to Dodger games: ‘It’s time for Dodger baseball! Hi, everybody, and a very pleasant good (day/evening) to you, wherever you may be,’” Cedillo’s motion stated....

Van Dijk was heavily linked with a move to Liverpool earlier in the transfer window, but the Anfield outlet dropped their interest and apologised after being accused of allegedly tapping up the 26-year-old. Southampton 25/1 to finish in Top 4 However, the rumours have failed to disappear and Van Dijk looked to try and force a move away in a statement ahead of the new Premier League season. The defender said he was left with “no alternative” after being fined two weeks’ wages by the club and seeing “enquiries from multiple top clubs consistently rebuffed”....

Fans were happy to see her and posted several comments full of admiration. One fan wrote: This fan seems to be a foster kid who appreciates Simone Biles for working for them:...

Game Rant’s Ben Kendrick reviews Voltron: Defender of the Universe It’s been over nine months since we first got word that THQ had secured the rights to produce video games based on the 80’s cartoon, Voltron: Defender of the Universe. At the time, it was unclear what exactly the publisher had planned - and many Voltron fans braced for disappointment. Confidence in the project took another hit when Behaviour Interactive was announced as the game’s developer - the same team that underwhelmed Ghostbusters fans with the Sanctum of Slime....

The Tampa Bay Rays fell to 69-57, though they still hold a Wild Card spot at the moment. Many Rays fans took to Twitter to react to the frustrating loss. One fan wants the team to wake up as the season is coming to an end. Former Rays pitcher Rich Hill, who is now on the Boston Red Sox, pitched excellently this afternoon. Hill went seven innings, allowing zero earned runs and 11 strikeouts....

Mr. Robot was a ground-breaking drama created by Sam Esmail, running for four seasons from 2015 to 2019. It’s difficult to discuss what makes the show so compelling without spoiling its many context-altering twists and revelations, but by making some broad comparisons to WandaVision, it may be easier to explain why it could be a great show to look into after this experimental MCU story wraps up. While there won’t be any big plot spoilers for Mr....

The Elizabeth Olsen show was totally snubbed after being nominated for 23 categories but failing to scoop one trophy on Sunday night. The Marvel Studios show took home three awards at the Creative Arts Emmys last weekend—for production, costume design and music—but it was expected to sweep the board or at least take home a few awards at the main event. WandaVision was predicted to win at least two awards for acting with both Kathryn Hahn and Paul Bettany heavily touted as favorites in their categories for limited series drama....

Game Rant’s Anthony Taormina reviews Warp These days the Xbox Live Arcade has grown to become the perfect breeding ground for smaller titles with a unique gameplay mechanic or core concept to find their audience - one that couldn’t possibly sustain a full retail release. Enter Warp, developed by Trapdoor and published by EA Partners, a title that puts players in control of a deceptively cute little alien with the ability to phase through walls and into objects....

According to the Chicago Police Department, the incident occured at 5 am, when a sedan crashed into a group of four men, which included people who had been part of a pub brawl earlier that night. Authorities have not yet confirmed the motivation behind the altercation, or whether or not the driver was known to the men. Trigger Warning: The following video contains graphic violence.

Looking at the line-up on Twitch’s official Twitter page, fans were left in a state of dissatisfaction. The primary cause of the criticism was down to the fact that Twitch has decided to pay big bucks to star musicians while curtailing the income of its own creators by introducing a 50/50 revenue split (the previous split was 70/30 in favor of streamers). One user commented: Streaming community disgruntled at the sight of Twitch splashing cash on big names In addition to the aforementioned trio, there will be performances by DJ Lani Love and TIGERMOMTOY throughout the TwitchCon event....

Zahabi said Tyron Woodley is technically a better boxer than ‘The Problem Child.’ Zahabi has trained with Woodley in the past and claims ‘The Chosen One’ has a lot of power in his hands. However, what concerns Zahabi about Woodley’s boxing is his conservative approach to fights. According to Zahabi, Tyron Woodley sometimes remains inactive during fights and seems reluctant to let his hands go. Woodley’s reluctance to attack could favor Jake Paul in the fight, claims Zahabi....

The MCC told British newspaper, The Telegraph, on Wednesday the run-out was indeed contrary to the spirit of the game. “Having extensively reviewed the incident again, and after further reflection, we don’t think it was within the spirit of the game,” MCC laws manager Fraser Stewart said. The MCC reasoned the pause between the moment Ashwin reached the crease and the moment of delivery was unusually long. As per the law, if the non-striker has left the crease at the moment the bowler would “normally” be expected to release the ball, he is entitled to try to run him out....

Game Rant’s Curt Hutson reviews Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3 In the grand tradition of Capcom, a company who enjoys milking their fighting games for all they’re worth, another updated version to a previously released title is hitting shelves in the form of Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3. However, is this quasi-sequel worth the hassle of purchasing a new game or does adding buzzwords sprinkled with morsels of new content simply fall into the realm of glamorized DLC?...

This isn’t new or surprising - we see it with all major video game releases. We’re already talking about Mass Effect 4 and Mass Effect MMOs while ME3 doesn’t even release until next March. It’s happened with Batman: Arkham City and it’s happening right now with Assassin’s Cred 3. So, what does Naughty Dog, the developer behind the Uncharted games, have to say? In chatting with Official PlayStation Magazine UK, Uncharted 3 game director Justin Richmond briefly talks about the future for Nathan Drake and the Uncharted franchise....

Game Rant’s Anthony Taormina reviews Unit 13 Back during the era of the PlayStation 2, Zipper Interactive was among the premiere developers crafting unique experiences for Sony’s console. Known for bringing online multiplayer to the PS2 in the form of SOCOM Navy Seals Zipper was a developer ahead of its time, but time’s have certainly changed. Since then Zipper has struggled to stay afloat (and may even be closing their doors) and their once renowned prowess has been lost amidst military shooter after military shooter....

The 22-year-old issued a statement following his abrupt exit after losing the first set 7/5 on a tie break to the American Steve Johnson, having been docked a point for the second match running because of his conduct. The ATP Tour said it had launched an investigation and Kyrgios, similarly hit with a point penalty in losing the China Open final to Rafael Nadal on Sunday, said he was “gutted” to retire against Johnson....

The sprint king has been copping plenty of criticism during his trial with Australian club Central Coast Mariners, even after scoring twice in a trial match. Former Republic of Ireland striker and current Perth Glory player Andy Keogh was the latest to question Bolt’s ability, describing the trial as ‘farcical’ for the A-League. Despite the doubters, Bolt has earned a modest contract offer from the Mariners which the Jamaican is still considering taking....
