The Bucks, leading by as many as 30 points at one point, dominated and comfortably clinched the game 131-116 behind a 44-point night from Giannis Antetokounmpo. Milwaukee separated themselves from the hosts early, courtesy of a 26-8 run in the first quarter, and just built on that the rest of the way. For much of the game, the Lakers didn’t even look competitive against the Bucks.

Former Fox Sports presenter Whitlock, who has criticized James on a number of occasions over the years, has penned an article taking aim at the NBA star over the fatal attack on a teenager near the sportsman’s I Promise School in Ohio. Ethan Liming, 17, was beaten to death on June 2 in Akron, following his friends’ altercation with a group of men who were playing basketball. According the Akron Police Department, Liming’s friends discharged a SPLATRBALL Water Bead Blaster gel gun in the direction of the men ahead of the violent confrontation....

In his announcement through SI.com, James thanked Heat president Pat Riley and owner Micky Arison for a great four years.

Westwood’s first appearance dates back to 1997 when he was a rookie — this happened to be Tiger Woods’ rookie year as well. Coincidentally, Westwood partnered with Faldo that week. The Englishman held the No. 1 world ranking spot back in 2010, replacing Tiger Woods from that title. The 48-year-old has an overall record of 20-18-6 and has played on seven winning Ryder Cup Team Europe squads. While Westwood automatically tied the most appearances record, this isn’t the only record he’s catching up to this week....

Private lawyers have always done pro bono work–representing needy clients for free while still being paid by their firms. In recent years the concept has expanded to include “lend a prosecutor” programs, providing badly needed relief for courts overloaded with drug and other serious criminal cases. In this case, the volunteers say that they signed up to balance the scales of justice when they learned that more than 100 defense attorneys had offered to advise the demonstrators....

Federal prosecutors on Friday filed a brief with an appeals court challenging the earlier appointment of a special master to sort out protected materials taken from Trump’s home during an FBI search in August. Legal observers previously panned U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon’s appointment of a special master, and they now expect the DOJ to prevail after winning a narrower appeal earlier. At the request of Trump’s lawyers, Cannon appointed Raymond Dearie, a senior federal judge based in Brooklyn, as special master to set aside seized materials shielded by attorney-client or executive privilege....

With 20/200 vision, you can see at 20 feet what a person with 20/20 vision sees at 200 feet. If your field of vision is 20 or less, it means you can only see things right in front of you (not to the sides) when staring forward. The criteria for legal blindness are particularly relevant when it comes to state driving laws and eligibility for Social Security disability benefits, tax exemptions, and other federal or state benefits....

The founding Van Halen guitarist’s death was announced by his son Wolfgang Van Halen, who also played bass in the band, in a tweet on Tuesday. “He was the best father I could ever ask for. Every moment I’ve shared with him on and off stage was a gift,” he wrote. “My heart is broken and I don’t think I’ll ever fully recover from this loss,” he continued. “I love you so much, Pop....

The Algeria international failed to show up at the King Power Stadium after his move to the Etihad Stadium fell through. The winger had missed their last two games and several training sessions but after returning on Friday, he made a second-half appearance for the Foxes where he impressed despite their 5-1 humiliation by City. And the French tactician has taken positively from the heavy defeat, looking ahead to better outings following the return of the player....

A 6-foot-5, 220-pound pocket passer from Crawfordville, Fla., Franks made the announcement on his Twitter feed, saying: “For about a month now I have been talking with LSU about decommiting. I have given this process a lot of thought and feel that [it] is only best for me to make my decommitment public. I want to thank the LSU coaches, staff and the amazing fans for all their support.”...

LSU quarterback Danny Etling has replaced Brandon Harris as the starter for the game against Mississippi State, coach Les Miles announced Friday. The move was a no-brainer — Harris struggled against Wisconsin in Week 1 and in the first half of the Tigers’ game against Jacksonville State last week before he was pulled in favor of Etling, a Purdue graduate transfer.

The former Eagles star is throwing a “private event celebration” at a secret location Sunday, but don’t expect for the shindig to include Shady and a bunch of his his homeboys having a good time together.

McCoy, one of several Bills skill players nursing minor injuries, made the facetious comment following Tuesday’s practice. Watkins has been limited the last two weeks, and was held out of last Thursday’s preseason game against the Browns because of glute soreness. McCoy, who has a mild hamstring strain, said the Bills are protecting Watkins for the regular season by “keeping the Ferrari in the garage.” The Bills did not practice on Wednesday....

In an online chat with readers (part of The War Over the War Series), Ricks asked: Interestingly enough the next reader response had nothing to do with the question. I remember talking to my best friend a few days before I flew to Iraq, about a week after the 2003 invasion began. His thoughts seemed to echo the rest of the country’s at the time–he couldn’t take his eyes off the television’s war coverage....

“Since I’m single in the quarantine I’ve decided to reenact moments from my favorite musicals so it feels like I’m in love,” she began the hilarious Twitter thread of musical scenes. Since she began making these videos, she’s recreated scenes from Les Miserables, Phantom of the Opera, Grease, Beauty and the Beast, Hamilton, and Little Shop of Horrors, to name a few. “I have all these wigs and props and random costumes and things leftover from Halloween and themed parties and different films shoots that I’ve done....

All this free and nearly free stuff is a silver lining to the cloudy economy. Rebates have been an effective sales tactic for decades, but executives at “fulfillment houses”–the firms that process rebate checks–say the practice is booming. Manufacturers and retailers love rebates because they drive store traffic–and because many customers don’t bother to send away for the rebates, lowering the cost of the promotion. But some shoppers who count on the check in the mail are starting to loathe this trend....

What Graham meant was that investors often let themselves be seduced by a new industry. They vote for such stocks by buying them. The fact that a company’s actual business prospects may not in any way be related to its mass-market popularity is forgotten, or perhaps never even fully addressed or analyzed in the first place. The stock market just isn’t a trustworthy machine to tell you the true value of a company over short periods of time–though it will always clue you in to what’s popular at the moment....
