For Orlando Magic coach Jamahl Mosley, there wasn’ t a specific moment he felt like the team flipped the switch on the season. Unlike Friday’ s 133-113 home win over the San Antonio Spurs, where one could point to Magic’ s 19-3 run early in the fourth as what sealed the victory for them, there wasn’ t a sequence where Mosley thought Orlando started to turn things around in...
The 3-11 Chicago Bears will host the 11-3 Buffalo Bills in a Week 16 matchup.

That is double the Giants’ league-low 21. Justin Jefferson, one of the NFL’ s best receivers, and Dalvin Cook, one of the most dangerous running backs in space, will be difficult assignments for a Giants defense minus top corner Adoree Jackson and in flux at inside linebacker. This is the Giants’ No. 1 internal key every week, and so far Daniel Jones has done an excellent...
Although it is against Pat Riley’ s philosophy, why not begrudgingly embrace the idea of jettisoning, for the right price and the right deal, everyone on the roster aside from Tyler Herro and Bam Adebayo, with the idea of constructing a young and dynamic roster, through trades or the acquisition of draft picks, around those two, which can compete, and hopefully win a...

A massive winter storm battered the US on Friday with frigid temperatures, high winds and heavy snow, leaving at least nine people dead, knocking out power to over a million customers and wrecking holiday plans from coast to coast.
Vaughn said Harris was set as the first player off the bench behind a starting lineup of Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving, Ben Simmons, Royce O’ Neale and Nic Claxton before the late scratch.
