WEYMOUTH — Making it to Gillette Stadium for a state title game is actually really difficult.It’s just that King Philip makes it look so easy.Following a 41-21 win over Barnstable in a Div. 2 state semifinal, the Warriors clinched their sixth appearance out of the last seven tournaments.KP improves to 11-0 heading into a date with Franklin at Fenway Park next week. Barnstable falls to 9-2.The Warriors were utterly dominant from the jump, as they seemingly did everything right, from running the ball, to throwing it, to playing defense.“It’s great,” KP coach Brian Lee said. “I’m so happy to have these guys.

The potential of an impending trade has dominated this week for Zach LaVine.But before Wednesday’s 96-94 loss to the Orlando Magic, Chicago Bulls coach Billy Donovan wasn’t concerned about his star guard’s ability to balance his focus between the off-court drama and his on-court duties.“He’s always been coachable,” Donovan said. “He’s always been a guy that you can go to and talk to.”Another haphazard game from LaVine, however, offered more questions than answers about the two-time All-Star’s future with the Bulls. This week has added tumult to the latest chapter of the LaVine era in Chicago — a chapter bookended by two games against the Magic.When the Bulls faced the Magic on Nov. 18, 2022, LaVine suffered the worst shooting night of his life. He shot 1-for-14 from the field, missing all five of his 3-point attempts, before Donovan finally yanked him off the court for the final four minutes, forcing LaVine to watch f...

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Repairs to an elevated Los Angeles freeway closed because of an arson fire are moving faster than expected and lanes are scheduled to reopen by next Tuesday, California Gov. Gavin Newsom said Thursday. Earlier this week officials said it could take crews between three and five weeks to shore up the mile-long stretch of Interstate 10 near downtown after the blaze last Saturday burned about 100 support columns. “The bridge structure itself seems to be in better shape than we anticipated,” Newsom said during an evening news conference. “One thing we can guarantee you is we will be open, five lanes in both directions, at the latest Tuesday of next week.”More than 250 people were working around the clock to make the repairs, he said.“This is a good day in Los Angeles,” Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass said.The fire that spread quickly over 8 acres (3 hectares) was fed by pallets, cars, construction materials, hand sanitizer and other items being stored under the free...
