  There’s something about the midnight stroke of a fresh year that packs gyms, boosts athleisure sales and sends even the most dedicated burger lovers on a juice fast.
  But, as Peter Quan, the Laguna Woods Fitness Center supervisor of over 15 years, has seen time and time again — the motivation doesn’t always last. As kale-chip bags empty and alibis tire, all inspiration behind the “New Year, new me” motto morphs into a predictable, sedentary cliche.

  LOS ANGELES — It’s common to hear Lakers players talking about Lonzo Ball in the terms Tyson Chandler used after Tuesday night’s win over the Chicago Bulls.
  He does the little things. He makes the right plays. Et cetera.
  “For Zo, he does all the intangibles,” he said. “He does everything for the team defensively, making plays, rebounding. He’s one of those guards who can take over the game without filling up the stat sheet.”
