The Bulls are 5-10 and yet to record consecutive wins as they prepare to embark on a four-game trip beginning Wednesday in Oklahoma City.Here are five takeaways from Monday’s game.1. Not a fast start, but not an overly slow one either.It took the Bulls less than three minutes to fall behind by 10 points, forcing coach Billy Donovan to take a timeout 2 minutes, 29 seconds into the game.This is a common theme for the Bulls, one of the worst first-quarter teams in the league. After the Heat led 22-1 on Saturday, the Bulls were determined to start faster Monday. But while the deficit wasn’t as dramatic, the Bulls still suffered from a sluggish start that they couldn’t overcome.The Bulls never led, getting within four points in the third quarter before the Heat put their foot on the...Analysis: Iran-backed Yemen rebels’ helicopter-borne attack on ship raises risks in crucial Red Sea

The rebels, dressed commando-style in bulletproof vests carrying assault rifles, covered each other and moved in military formation before quickly seizing control of the bridge of the Galaxy Leader. While their body-camera footage serves as a propaganda coup to bolster their own position in Yemen amid some protests against their rule, it also signals a new maritime front has opened in a region long focused on the Persian Gulf and its narrow mouth at the Strait o...Putin, Xi and UN Secretary-General Gutteres to attend virtual meeting on Israel-Hamas war
