The All-Star forward missed his first five shots and had as many fouls as field goals after missing 10 shots in the first half. Tatum made three 3-pointers and an array of driving layups in the third, scoring 18 points in the quarter to turn a seven-point halftime lead into a 18-point cushion. Bojan Bogdanovic scored 21 for the Pistons, who have won just one-fourth of their game Bulls 128, Spurs 104 – Vucevic, Drummond come up big, Bulls beat Spurs 128-104 Nikola Vucevic had 22 points and 12 rebounds, and the Chicago Bulls handed San Antonio its ninth straight loss with a 128-104 victory over the Spurs. Andre Drummond set season highs with 21 points and 15 rebounds, helping the Bulls match a season high with their third straight win. They also got some payback for a loss at San Antonio in October. It was tied at 85 late in the third quarter when Chicago went on a 23-3 run. Keldon Johnson led San Antonio with 21 points. Tonight Chicago Bulls at Memphis Grizzlies, 8:00 p.m. NBA – NBA reschedules 3 games to make up for 1 postponed by storm The NBA has rescheduled three games after one game was postponed last week when the Detroit Pistons were stranded in Dallas due to a winter storm. The Pistons will make up their home game against the Washington Wizards on March 7. The league also rescheduled games for both franchises to avoid either team playing on three straight days. Detroit will host the Portland Trail Blazers on March 6, a day before previously scheduled. The Wizards will face the Milwaukee Bucks at home on March 5, also a day earlier than previously planned. NBA – NBA approves sale of Phoenix Suns, Mercury to Mat Ishbia Mortgage executive and former Michigan State guard Mat Ishbia is approved to become the new majority owner of the Phoenix Suns and WNBA’s Phoenix Mercury. The NBA’s board of governors approved his plan to purchase the controlling stake of those franchises from Robert Sarver. The vote was 29-0, with the Cleveland Cavaliers abstaining, according to a person who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the vote had not yet been announced publicly. Ishbia agreed on Dec. 20 to the deal, one that put the total value of the Suns and Mercury at $4 billion.

Jett Howard added 16 points and Kobe Bufkin 13 with eight rebounds for the Wolverines, who missed their last four shots to drop to 49% for the game. Bruce Thornton scored 22 points to lead the Buckeyes, who have lost four straight and 10 of 12. Thornton was 10-of-13 shooting and Ohio State made five of its last eight shots but that only raised the shooting percent to 41. Bufkin, Dickinson and Howard combined for a Michigan 12-3 run for a 24-14 lead midway through the first half. Despite a poor shooting half, the Buckeyes closed it to 41-36 at the half as Sueing hit a last-minute 3-pointer. NCAAWBKB – Women’s College Basketball Last Night (16) Duke 57, (9) Notre Dame 52 (18) Michigan 77, Michigan State 67 (16) Duke 57, (9) Notre Dame 52 – No. 16 Duke tops No. 9 Notre Dame 57-52 for 1st place in ACC Celeste Taylor scored 14 points and No. 16 Duke came from behind for a 57-52 victory at No. 9 Notre Dame. Trailing for most of the game’s first 28 minutes, the Blue Devils took the lead for good in the final two minutes of the third quarter to knock off the Fighting Irish. Duke led 48-46 going into the fourth quarter after trailing Notre Dame by as many as five points in the third quarter. A steal by Elizabeth Balogun in the final 15 seconds helped seal the win for the Blue Devils. Maddy Westbeld led Notre Dame with 15 points. The Irish fell out of a first-place tie with Duke in the ACC standings. (18) Michigan 77, Michigan State 67 – Brown, No. 18 Michigan women beat Michigan St. 77-67 Leigha Brown scored 19 of her 29 points in the second half and finished two assists shy of a triple-double to lead No. 18 Michigan to a 77-67 win over rival Michigan State. Brown scored 10 in the fourth quarter, eight from the foul line, and Maddie Nolan had two big 3-pointers in the fourth and scored 22 points for the Wolverines. Michigan pulled out a second-straight win without leading scored Laila Phelia, who has a lower leg injury. Brown was 8 of 9 and Nolan 5 of 6 from the foul line in the fourth quarter. Matilda Ekh and Moira Joiner both had 12 for the Spartans, who lost their third straight since coach Susy Merchant had a medical issue and a minor car accident on Jan. 28.

All five starters scored in double figures for the Cavaliers. Cleveland shot 52.3% from the field and 40.5% from long range to complement a top-ranked defense that held Indiana to 43.5% shooting. Jarrett Allen contributed 18 points and 13 rebounds, Evan Mobley had 17 points and 10 rebounds, and Donovan Mitchell added 19 points and six assists for the Cavs. Myles Turner had 27 points and 10 rebounds for Indiana, which has lost 12 of 14. Tonight Boston Celtics at Detroit Pistons, 7:00 p.m. San Antonio Spurs at Chicago Bulls, 8:00 p.m. NBA – AP source: Kyrie Irving going to the Dallas Mavericks All-Star point guard Kyrie Irving is being traded by the Brooklyn Nets. The team has struck a deal with the Dallas Mavericks. That’s according to a person with knowledge of the situation who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because neither team had announced the move. The Mavericks will trade Spencer Dinwiddie, Dorian Finney-Smith and a package of draft picks to the Nets. The blockbuster trade ends Irving’s pairing with Kevin Durant before it ever had much of a chance to click. Dallas also gets Markieff Morris in the deal. NFL – National Football League Sunday 2023 Pro Bowl Games NFC 35, AFC 33 NASCAR – Truex wins NASCAR’s sloppy return to Los Angeles Coliseum Martin Truex Jr. won NASCAR’s return to the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum for its season-opening exhibition race. Truex took the lead with 25 laps to go in the Busch Light Clash, a 150-lap race that was moved last year to the Coliseum as NASCAR built a temporary quarter-mile track in a bold attempt to try something new. NASCAR knew it was going to be difficult to duplicate the success of last year’s race in its return to the Coliseum and Sunday night’s racing wasn’t great: there were 25 cautions and laps under yellow didn’t count. There were only five cautions in last year’s race.

Flick Pick is a podcast about movies. In today’s episode, Andrew Green reviews two movies. They are The Banshees of Inisherin and Infinity Pool, both of which he saw last weekend. The Banshees of Inisherin is nominated for Best Picture at this year’s Academy Awards. It stars Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson as couple of best friends living in a small Irish village in the 1920s. When Gleeson announces he no longer wants to be friends with Farrell, it drives Farrell crazy. Infinity Pool is a horror film from Brandon Cronenberg about a resort island where a person can escape punishment for crimes they’ve committed by being cloned and then having the clone take the fall. It drives main character played by Alexander Skarsgård crazy. Did Andrew enjoy these films about people going insane or did they just drive him insane?

NFL – Tom Brady retires at 45, insisting this time it’s ‘for good’ Tom Brady has announced his retirement. Brady won a record seven Super Bowls for New England and Tampa Bay. He is the most successful quarterback in NFL history and one of the greatest athletes in team sports. He posted the announcement on social media in a brief video lasting just under one minute. He says this time it’s for good. He briefly retired after the 2021 season but wound up coming back for one more year. He retires at age 45, the owner of numerous passing records in an unprecedented 23-year NFL career. NFL – Brady’s unprecedented career filled with highlight moments Nobody drove Tom Brady harder than the record-setting quarterback himself. That’s even if his 23rd and final season after a brief retirement didn’t end with him lifting yet another Lombardi Trophy. He leaves the NFL with more wins, yards passing and touchdowns than any other quarterback. He even set a pair of single-season passing records at the age of 45. And yes, nobody has more Super Bowl rings than Brady with seven. Brady competed so hard that he pulled his teammates along with him. Tampa Bay center Ryan Jensen worked his way back from a knee injury that sidelined him all season to snap to Brady in the quarterback’s final game. NFL – Eagles reserve lineman accused of rape ahead of Super Bowl Philadelphia Eagles reserve offensive lineman Josh Sills has been indicted on rape and kidnapping charges that stem from an incident in Ohio just over three years ago. The NFL on Wednesday put the rookie who has played just four snaps this season on the commissioner’s exempt list. That means he can’t practice, play or travel with the Eagles as they prepares for the Super Bowl. A grand jury indicted Sills earlier this week. His attorney said Wednesday that the allegations are false. Sills is due in court on Feb. 16, four days after the Eagles are to play Kansas City in the Super Bowl. NBA – National Basketball Association Last Night Washington Wizards at Detroit Pistons, PPD Wizards at Pistons, PPD – Wizards-Pistons postponed over travel issues amid ice storm Wednesday’s Washington Wizards and Detroit Pistons game was been postponed because the Pistons were stranded in Dallas amid a winter ice storm. The league announced about 6 1/2 hours before tipoff that Pistons were unable to fly home to Detroit following their game Monday against the Mavericks. The NBA said the date for the rescheduled game would be announced later. Tonight Los Angeles Lakers at Indiana Pacers, 7:00 p.m. Charlotte Hornets at Chicago Bulls, 8:00 p.m. WNBA – Griner return, free agency could spark charter flight change Brittney Griner’s return to the WNBA has collided with free agency which has raised questions once again about teams chartering flights. Griner announced in December that she would return to the league after spending last season in a Russian jail before being released in a dramatic prisoner swap. The 6-foot-9 center is a free agent and says she’ll return to Phoenix. Players can officially sign with teams on Wednesday. Players have been unable to negotiate for charter flights and the current collective bargaining agreement requires all teams to fly commercial. If Griner needs special travel accommodations due to safety concerns the league will have to come up with a plan and any change would have to be approved by both the union and the WNBA.

NHL – Hall of Famer Bobby Hull, the Golden Jet, dies at 84 Hall of Fame forward Bobby Hull, who helped the Chicago Black Hawks win the 1961 Stanley Cup Final, has died. Hull was 84. The two-time MVP was one of the most prolific scorers in NHL history, leading the league in goals seven times. Nicknamed “The Golden Jet” for his speed and blond hair, he posted 13 consecutive seasons with 30 goals or more from 1959-72. Hull and Stan Mikita powered Chicago to the NHL title in 1961. Hull remains the Blackhawks’ career leader with 62 playoff goals. He was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1983 and his No. 9 sweater was retired by Chicago that same year. Hull’s brother, Dennis, played for Chicago for most of his 14 years in the league, and Bobby’s son, Brett, spent 19 years in the NHL. Bobby and Brett each won the Hart Trophy as league MVP, becoming the first father-son duo to accomplish the feat. Bobby won in 1964-65 and 1965-1966, while Brett won in 1990-1991. NBA – National Basketball Association Last Night Dallas Mavericks 111, Detroit Pistons 105 Mavs 111, Pistons 105 – Doncic scores 53 in return, Mavericks beat Pistons 111-105 Luka Doncic had 53 points in his return to the lineup and Spencer Dinwiddie scored 10 of his 12 in the fourth quarter as the Dallas Mavericks rallied to beat the Detroit Pistons 111-105. Four of Doncic’s five career 50-point games have come this season. He scored a career-best 60 against the New York Knicks in a game that went to overtime on Dec. 27. Bojan Bogdanovic had 29 points and Saddiq Bey scored 18 for the Pistons. Tonight Los Angeles Clippers at Chicago Bulls, 8:00 p.m. NCAAMBKB – Men’s College Basketball Tonight Northern Illinois at Western Michigan, 7:00 p.m. Central Michigan at Kent State, 7:00 p.m. Ohio at Eastern Michigan, 7:00 p.m. NCAAMBKB – Purdue a unanimous No. 1 in AP Top 25; Vols up to No. 2 Purdue is this season’s first unanimous No. 1 team in the AP men’s college basketball poll. The Boilermakers have won eight straight games since a one-point loss to Rutgers on Jan. 2. They were followed in the AP Top 25 by Tennessee, Houston, Alabama and Arizona in the top five. No. 11 Baylor and No. 17 Providence made the biggest jumps, each climbing six spots. Auburn had the biggest drop, falling 10 spots to No. 25. No. 21 Indiana and No. 22 San Diego State rejoined the poll at the expense of Charleston and New Mexico. NCAAWBKB – South Carolina tops AP Top 25; Ohio State tumbles South Carolina, Stanford and LSU are the top teams in the latest women’s AP Top 25 college basketball rankings. South Carolina is No. 1 for the 32nd consecutive week. Only UConn (51 and 34 weeks) and Louisiana Tech (36) have had longer runs at No. 1. Indiana and UConn round out top five. Ohio State lost all three of its games last week and dropped from No. 2 to No. 10. NCAAFB – Rashada case in Florida highlights issues in NIL, recruiting Using name, image and likeness compensation to recruit college athletes is still very much against NCAA rules. The recent de-commitment from Florida by blue chip quarterback Jaden Rashada shows that NIL is definitely a factor in decisions. Booster-funded collectives are taking on a big role in compensating athletes. Schools can only hope they are acting within the rules and in their best interest. Inserting a third-party in the recruiting process between coaches and recruits has only complicated things. Experts say the collectives should focus on athletes who are already on campus.

NHL – Hall of Famer Bobby Hull, the Golden Jet, dies at 84 Hall of Fame forward Bobby Hull, who helped the Chicago Black Hawks win the 1961 Stanley Cup Final, has died. Hull was 84. The two-time MVP was one of the most prolific scorers in NHL history, leading the league in goals seven times. Nicknamed “The Golden Jet” for his speed and blond hair, he posted 13 consecutive seasons with 30 goals or more from 1959-72. Hull and Stan Mikita powered Chicago to the NHL title in 1961. Hull remains the Blackhawks’ career leader with 62 playoff goals. He was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1983 and his No. 9 sweater was retired by Chicago that same year. Hull’s brother, Dennis, played for Chicago for most of his 14 years in the league, and Bobby’s son, Brett, spent 19 years in the NHL. Bobby and Brett each won the Hart Trophy as league MVP, becoming the first father-son duo to accomplish the feat. Bobby won in 1964-65 and 1965-1966, while Brett won in 1990-1991.

Bojan Bogdanovic had 29 points and Saddiq Bey scored 18 for the Pistons. Tonight Los Angeles Clippers at Chicago Bulls, 8:00 p.m. NCAAMBKB – Men’s College Basketball Tonight Northern Illinois at Western Michigan, 7:00 p.m. Central Michigan at Kent State, 7:00 p.m. Ohio at Eastern Michigan, 7:00 p.m. NCAAMBKB – Purdue a unanimous No. 1 in AP Top 25; Vols up to No. 2 Purdue is this season’s first unanimous No. 1 team in the AP men’s college basketball poll. The Boilermakers have won eight straight games since a one-point loss to Rutgers on Jan. 2. They were followed in the AP Top 25 by Tennessee, Houston, Alabama and Arizona in the top five. No. 11 Baylor and No. 17 Providence made the biggest jumps, each climbing six spots. Auburn had the biggest drop, falling 10 spots to No. 25. No. 21 Indiana and No. 22 San Diego State rejoined the poll at the expense of Charleston and New Mexico. NCAAWBKB – South Carolina tops AP Top 25; Ohio State tumbles South Carolina, Stanford and LSU are the top teams in the latest women’s AP Top 25 college basketball rankings. South Carolina is No. 1 for the 32nd consecutive week. Only UConn (51 and 34 weeks) and Louisiana Tech (36) have had longer runs at No. 1. Indiana and UConn round out top five. Ohio State lost all three of its games last week and dropped from No. 2 to No. 10. NCAAFB – Rashada case in Florida highlights issues in NIL, recruiting Using name, image and likeness compensation to recruit college athletes is still very much against NCAA rules. The recent de-commitment from Florida by blue chip quarterback Jaden Rashada shows that NIL is definitely a factor in decisions. Booster-funded collectives are taking on a big role in compensating athletes. Schools can only hope they are acting within the rules and in their best interest. Inserting a third-party in the recruiting process between coaches and recruits has only complicated things. Experts say the collectives should focus on athletes who are already on campus.
