• Clippers come up short against Magic

  23-02-2026 06:00 via ocregister.com
  
  INGLEWOOD — Since the trade deadline, Clippers coach Tyronn Lue has had to adjust his lineup to keep from sinking in the standings, a task made difficult without starters James Harden and Ivica Zubac. Harden was traded to the Cleveland Cavaliers, while Zubac was sent to Indiana.
  But there is one constant with this year’s team: the Clippers play hard on defense, and they applied the pressure down the stretch but couldn’t hold off the Orlando Magic, 111-109, on Sunday night at In

  LOS ANGELES – Yes, Pat Riley is the current president of the Miami Heat, and he has his fingerprints all over what is advertised – presumably at his urging – as “Heat Culture.”
  But I suspect anyone who lived through the Showtime era of the ’80s – or, for that matter, watched how the roots of Laker Exceptionalism were formed before that – knows the true roots of that culture.
  And the statue that was unveiled early Sunday afternoon in the Star Plaza

  LOS ANGELES — Pat Riley set the tempo, the tone of Lakers-Celtics in Sunday evening primetime on NBC.
  Riley, 80, but still fiery as ever when it comes to seeing the Boston Celtics green-and-white jerseys running up and down the floor, sent the crowd at his statue unveiling into a rivalry-inclined cheer when he rallied on about it being “time to kick some Boston ass.”

• Tom Campbell: SCOTUS tariff ruling offers a lesson on statutory limits

  22-02-2026 20:31 via ocregister.com
  
  Last Friday’s U.S. Supreme Court tariff decision was a workmanlike exercise of statutory analysis. The reaction from the administration was not. President Trump impugned the integrity and patriotism of the justices, claiming that “the court has been swayed by foreign interests.” Vice President Vance proclaimed, “This is lawlessness from the court, plain and simple,” a conclusion pronounced so soon after the court’s opinion was published as to suggest the vice

  By The Associated Press
  When Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine surpassed 1,418 days last month, it officially exceeded a historic milestone — the same span of time it took Moscow to defeat Nazi Germany in World War II.
  And unlike the Red Army that pushed all the way to Berlin eight decades ago in what it called the Great Patriotic War, Russia’s 4-year-old, all-out invasion of its neighbor is still struggling to fully capture Ukraine’s eastern industrial heartland.
