    Lakers must turn around second-half offensive woes in playoffs series against Nuggets
    DENVER — There’s been a common theme for the Lakers in their two losses to open their first-round playoffs series to the Denver Nuggets.
    A strong start, especially offensively, to earn an early advantage over the defending NBA champions.
    What’s followed in both games is that the Nuggets have made adjustments and the Lakers have gotten away from what’s worked earlier in the games, and the offense has bottomed out.
    This was most evident in Monday night’s heartbreaking

    A: First, a person being disruptive in a courtroom, such as engaging in outbursts, is not new. Nor is it limited to a party. Lawyers and witnesses, or a person in the gallery, may be engaged in misconduct that requires the court to take action.

    NFL draft: How might the Rams replenish their defense?
    For the past 10 years, the Rams’ defense has revolved around Aaron Donald. That’s what happens when a defensive lineman commands as much attention as the future Hall of Famer did, sometimes drawing three or even four blockers on a given play.
    But Donald upended that normal with his decision to retire last month. Suddenly, the Rams’ center of gravity is gone, and the defense has to be reimagined.
    That process could begin Thursday with the first round of the NFL draft, with furth
