Published Thu, 13 Mar 2025 06:27:38 GMT

Usually, it’s fairly easy for the Nuggets to decide on one opposing player per game that Kentavious Caldwell-Pope can mark as his primary matchup as a defender.The Clippers, throughout 2023-24, are going to be more complicated.With their recent trade with Philadelphia for 2018 MVP James Harden, the Clippers doubled down on their style of heavy isolation offense by adding a fourth 2010s mega-star.With Harden, Kawhi Leonard, Paul George and Russell Westbrook, Los Angeles has 32 combined All-Star appearances, two league MVPs and a two-time NBA Finals MVP. It’s a murderer’s row of the previous decade’s best, a fearsome lineup on paper that hasn’t lived up to high expectations in the early stages.Entering Denver for an in-season tournament game Tuesday night, the Clippers were 0-4 in the Harden era.“You knew James was gonna go somewhere,” Nuggets coach Michael Malone said, referring to Harden’s very public trade request and ensuing standoff...

10 Freeway closure costing some drivers more money

Published Thu, 13 Mar 2025 06:27:38 GMT

With the 10 Freeway in downtown Los Angeles likely to remain closed for the next several weeks, forcing drivers to find alternate routes to their destinations, it’s not just adding extra time to their commute, in some cases, it’s also costing more money for drivers whose alternatives include pricey toll roads.  After the massive Nov. 11 fire damaged the freeway, prompting an emergency declaration from Gov. Gavin Newsom, city leaders have been scrambling to provide relief to the hundreds of thousands of Angelenos who use the 10 Freeway downtown daily.  For those willing to pay for the privilege and typically a shorter commute time, transportation officials offer express lanes or the FasTrak system. During this state of emergency, many drivers said they’re wondering why the lanes have not been opened to everyone and why the prices aren’t being reduced.  The FasTrak pass comes in the form of a little box or transponder that sends or receives signals.
