Zach LaVine frustrated with shaky Chicago Bulls offense after career night: ‘We’re trying to figure out something that isn’t working’

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 12:30:01 GMT

The best scoring night of Zach LaVine’s career was an exercise in futility.LaVine was at his peak Saturday night in Detroit. He cut to the rim with defiance and slung shots from behind the arc with zero hesitation. This version of LaVine is undeniable and irresistible — “unstoppable” as DeMar DeRozan described it. But none of that mattered.Despite LaVine’s 51 points, the Bulls still lost by double digits, driving home the same truth that has defined the team for the prior two seasons — the stars can’t do it all for this team.The current Bulls roster is built around three stars: LaVine, DeRozan and Nikola Vučević. For two years, the Bulls have posted meager offensive results as they attempted to play through this trio — even while all three former All-Stars registered several of the most efficient years of their careers.In Year 3, coach Billy Donovan wants to try something different. The Bulls entered this season with the ment...

LEWISTON, Maine (AP) — More than 1,000 people packed a cavernous church Sunday night, and hundreds more spilled outside, to hug, sing, weep and seek comfort in the wake of Maine’s most deadly mass shooting.The crowd gathered for the vigil at the Basilica of Saints Peter and Paul in Lewiston, where days earlier a gunman fatally shot 18 people.

At one point, members of the crowd raised their hands to say “I love you” in American Sign Language in honor of the four members of Maine’s deaf community killed in the shooting.“We will not be defined by the tragedies that happened,” said the Rev. Todd Little from the First United Pentecostal Church. “Fear, anxiety and trepidation will not dictate our present or our future.”The vigil came two days after the body of suspected gunman Robert Card was found.

Confident and relaxed, Maalik Murphy steps in to lead the Texas Longhorns offense

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 12:30:01 GMT

AUSTIN (KXAN) — Maalik Murphy isn't trying to be anybody but himself while he has the reins of the high-powered Texas Longhorns offense.As the backup quarterback coming into the season, Murphy filled in admirably for Quinn Ewers against BYU on Saturday, throwing a pair of touchdowns to Adonai Mitchell and completing 64% of his passes for 170 yards. He threw an interception that he admitted was a "young mistake" and lost a fumble after getting hit from his blind side, but in the end, he was still dancing around the field and keeping it loose. After Houston comeback, Texas defense made sure that wouldn’t happen vs. BYU "That's just my personality," he said after the game. "The coaches told me not to change and just to be me, so that's what I did. I was dancing and enjoying my time out there."Support from his teammates is something Murphy said helped him adjust to being the main guy while Ewers is, according to head coach Steve Sarkisian, "week-to-week" with a shoulder injury.
