• Clippers regroup to try to close out Dallas Mavericks

  29-08-2020 22:53
  
  For a moment this week, it seemed the Clippers’ title quest, spurred by Kawhi Leonard’s playoff brilliance, could be over.
  Not because the idea of winning the franchise’s first championship meant any less to the players, Landry Shamet said, but because he and his teammates care so much more about the racial injustices happening outside of the bubble in Lake Buena Vista, Fla.
  “One thing that I think is getting lost in all this, this isn’t about wanting to play basket

  Every so often, Nneka Ogwumike and Derek Fisher catch each other’s eye and an understanding passes between the two.
  Not the understanding of player and coach, though the Sparks forward and second-year head coach certainly share that, too. But the understanding that very few have: that of two people who have served as the president of a players’ union.

• Recipe: The easy way to make stuffed zucchini

  I love cookbook author Ina Garten’s approach to stuffed zucchini. Many versions call for a long list of ingredients that generally includes sausage, but the Food Network’s star uses a short lineup of strategic team players: garlic, fresh herbs, panko breadcrumbs and Parmesan. The vegetarians in my family adore them.
  Make it up to a day ahead if you like, keeping the empty zucchini boats and crumb filling in separate containers in the fridge. Garten says she likes to serve them hot or

  Airline traffic is slowly inching its way back to normal at John Wayne Airport, where July statistics showed gains compared with the previous few months, but still nothing like the pre-pandemic volume of travelers.

  I recently spoke to a male friend, age 82, who bemoaned the hardship of his life due to the coronavirus. I don’t think the issue is money. He lives alone so I assume he may feel isolated.
