The Park Lady Rangers put up a fight against the Laurel Locomotives, but couldn’t close the deal in the second half, losing 45-37. 

The Lady Rangers came out with intensity on defense, but needed help on offense to keep up with Laurel. They got that help on a quick run that saw Sylvie Schoenen drain a 3-pointer before Park forced a turnover on the inbound pass where Kodie Vondra then hit a jumper to put the Lady Rangers out front early. Laurel was able to tie the score at 11 before the end of the first quarter.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — The Minnesota Timberwolves have taken on yet another new look, with D’Angelo Russell on his way to join pal Karl-Anthony Towns and Andrew Wiggins heading west to the Golden State Warriors.

In a swap of high scorers consummated just a few hours before the NBA deadline on Thursday, the Timberwolves acquired the dynamic point guard they’d been seeking for awhile in Russell and pulled the plug on their development of Wiggins, the mercurial first overall pick of the 2014 draft.

ESPN’s Mendoza resigns as Mets adviser

Published on Fri, 02/07/2020 - 4:15pm

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Jessica Mendoza will no longer be on ESPN’s “Sunday Night Baseball” or work for the New York Mets front office after signing a contract extension with the network.

ESPN announced Friday that Mendoza will be an analyst on weekday games as well as making appearances on various network shows, including “SportsCenter” and “Baseball Tonight.” 

Mendoza’s increased appearances on ESPN have led her to resign as a baseball operations adviser to the Mets and general manager Brodie Van Wagenen. She was hired as a Mets adviser last March.

Small-ball Rockets outlast Lakers 121-111

Published on Fri, 02/07/2020 - 4:15pm

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Nobody taller than 6-foot-6 was in Houston’s starting lineup, and a heavily bearded guard lost the opening tip. Nobody bigger than 6-foot-7 Robert Covington played for the Rockets in a game between division leaders at Staples Center.

Because Russell Westbrook went wild and Covington came up big late in his debut, the Rockets’ first experiment in extremely small ball was a large success — and the hulking Los Angeles Lakers came up short.
