• Utah Jazz center Rudy Gobert feels team defense is still adapting to NBA rule changes

  05-11-2018 21:48
  SALT LAKE CITY — Defense has been the staple of the Utah Jazz's success during the Quin Snyder era.Especially during last season's second-round playoff run, where the Jazz held the league's top defensive rating (102.9), en route to Rudy Gobert taking home the Defensive Player of the Year trophy.Although it's early, Utah's team defense isn't holding their opponents in check the same way they did a year ago. Through the first nine games, the Jazz are in the middle of the pack at No. 13 with

  This election has seen some surprises and some things that were absolutely predictable. Few of us would have imagined that Republicans could think they'd be able to get away with suddenly proclaiming themselves the true champions of protections for people with pre-existing conditions, for instance. But centering their campaign on racist appeals to fear and hatred? I think we all saw that coming.It doesn't look like it's going to work, though we won't know for sure until Tuesday night.

• How Real Salt Lake gave up a ‘fluke’ goal to Sporting Kansas City, and why it matters

  05-11-2018 21:08
  Sandy • For two playoff games, Real Salt Lake’s execution has been almost as precise as surgery.And for those two playoff games, RSL’s focus translated into surprising results: a 3-2 road win over Los Angeles Football Club in the knockout round, and a 1-1 draw against a much more rested Sporting Kansas City team Sunday.But in one moment, Real’s execution slipped. A seemingly routine clearance for keeper Nick Rimando was deflected by a defender and bounced 20 yards from the

  After again falling back an hour over the weekend to end daylight saving time and readjusting body clocks, would you like a chance to vote to end such twice-a-year switching?The issue actually had a chance to be on Tuesday’s ballot, but legislators last year narrowly defeated a bill that would have allowed it.

  Provo • Junior guard Brenna Chase says the BYU women’s basketball team “is doing more rebounding drills than I have ever done in my life” in preseason camp as the Cougars prepare for the 2018-19 season.There are a couple good reasons for that.First, the Cougars will start the season without their only other returning starter, 6-foot-7 sophomore center Sara Hamson.

  Ever since women's basketball practice started in September, any discussion of Utah's team has featured two distinct groups: the seniors and the freshmen.The roster has a gap between those two classes, partly explained by two key freshmen having redshirted last season, an injury to a sophomore and some attrition as coach Lynne Roberts has established her program.

  Many House Republicans initially welcomed President Donald Trump’s talk about the migrant caravan and border security, hoping it would fire up the GOP base in some at-risk, Republican-held districts.
