Through two games against the Warriors, the Cavaliers have been dominated. James looked at the stat sheet at his post-game press conference after Game 2, shook his head and simply said, “We didn’t win anything.” One reason the Cavs are in a 2-0 deficit heading home is the performance of their point guard. Irving is shooting 12-for-36 and has more turnovers (six) than assists (five). The question remains, almost two full seasons into James’ return to Cleveland: Will Irving ever find the proper balance between facilitator and scorer and transform into the necessary sidekick for LeBron’s third championship?...

Irving has been sidelined because of personal reasons and his absence will continue for Tuesday’s clash with the Nuggets.

L.A. City Councilman Paul Koretz introduced the resolution Wednesday, according to Deadline Hollywood. He stated that incidents similar to the Rust accident can negatively impact people’s lives forever and cause permanent damage. “While movies can be convincing and very realistic — they are supposed to be make-believe,” Koretz said during a city council meeting. “A single gun accident, let alone a fatality, like the one that occurred on the Rust set and the ones that killed Brandon Lee and Jon-Erik Hexum destroy the lives of not only the victims and their families, but the lives of the other actors and crew who forever after are burdened with the emotional trauma of avoidable accidents....

This was a game that the Dodgers were desperate to win, as they had no desire to play in another elimination matchup, which Dodgers beat reporter Bill Plunket noted would’ve been their fourth in only nine postseason games. This was not just any old win for Los Angeles, though. According to MLB reporter Sarah Langs, this was the 82nd time in the franchise’s playoff or postseason history that the Dodgers took a 3-run deficit into the eighth inning, but only the first time under that scenario that they’ve won....

La Palma is one of the islands belonging to the Canary Islands archipelago of Spain.

Some scientists are still exercising caution toward the lack of activity. Geology expert Valentin Troll told the Associated Press that the volcano has a history of “playing a few tricks,” meaning that people should still be keeping an eye out for any dangerous behavior....

The core of Howard, Kobe Bryant, Pau Gasol and Steve Nash put LA near the top of Western Conference projections. Remember Sports Illustrated’s infamous “Now This is Going To Be Fun” cover? It was fun — for fans who hated the Lakers....

Nick Young is out at shooting guard, with reserve Xavier Henry stepping in to take over his spot, coach Mike D'Antoni told reporters. Henry will start immmediately, taking on the promotion in the Lakers' Sunday game against the Atlanta Hawks. Not much was expected from Young, who has a reputation for being irratic at times. What he was expected to provide was scoring, but it appears Henry has outshined him in that department, as well as others....

Behind superstar efforts from Anthony Davis (34 points, nine rebounds, five assists) and LeBron James (25 points, 13 rebounds, nine assists), the Lakers controlled the series opener and captured a 116-98 victory over the Heat on Wednesday night.
