Mitchell scores 23; Cavs down Orlando, 96-86

AP Sports Writer CLEVELAND (AP) — Through two games, the Cavaliers have been tough guys in these playoffs. This year, they’re the bullies. Donovan Mitchell scored 23 points, Jarrett Allen had 20 rebounds and Cleveland outlasted the Orlando Magic 96-86 on Monday night in a second straight slugfest to take a 2-0 lead in their first-round Eastern Conference series. It’s been an impressive opening for the Cavs, who spent the regular season waiting for a chance to redeem themselves following last year’s first-round exit against the New York Knicks, who punished Cleveland in ...

Must-See TV

You will have to forgive a piece that is not at all about politics and the current cultural contretemps of modern American society. Instead, I want to use these words to recommend as forcefully as possible a television show that you should be watching. But first, you must have a history lesson. In the 16th century, Ferdinand Magellan discovered what became known as the Strait of Magellan, a passage around South America that spared ships the treacherous open waters of the Atlanta, Pacific and Antarctic waters. The Spanish intended to keep it a secret. Concurrently, Spain and Portugal ...

Final jurors seated for Trump’s hush money case

NEW YORK—The final jurors were seated Friday in Donald Trump’s hush money trial, and an appellate judge rejected the former president’s latest bid to halt the case as a hectic day in court set the stage for opening statements to begin Monday. The panel of New Yorkers who will decide the first criminal trial of a former U.S. president took final shape after lawyers spent days quizzing dozens of potential jurors on whether they can impartially judge Trump in the city where he built his real estate empire before being elected in 2016. The trial thrusts Trump’s legal problems ...

Seeking ‘the right side of history,’ the House Speaker risks his job to deliver aid to Ukraine

WASHINGTON—Staring down a decision so consequential it could alter the course of history—but also end his own career—House Speaker Mike Johnson prayed for guidance. A conservative Christian, the speaker wrestled over whether to lead the House in approving $95 billion in desperately needed war-time aid for Ukraine, Israel and other U.S. allies, which many in his own Republican majority opposed—some so strongly they would try to boot him from office. Or, he could do nothing, halting the flow of U.S. aid and potentially saving his own job but ensuring his place as the House ...

NHL teams leaning on goaltenders in playoffs

DENVER — Colorado goaltender Alexandar Georgiev went home after a recent shaky outing and immediately watched film — the car-racing thriller “The Fast and the Furious.” Anything to keep his own mind from racing. It’s playoff time, where teams march to the beat of their goaltenders. They want them laser-focused, full of confidence and ready to save the day. There are quite a few teams going into the postseason with big decisions in net. That includes Boston, which could split the goaltending duties, and the Avalanche, where Georgiev led the league in wins (38) but also goals ...
