Seiya Suzuki needed time to grasp the reality nearly four weeks ago that his left oblique strain would prevent him from playing in the World Baseball Classic.It didn’t stop him from tuning in to the tournament and following Team Japan’s journey to Tuesday’s championship title with its 3-2 win over Team USA. His teammates hung Suzuki’s No. 51 jersey in their dugout and brought it onto the field during the title celebration and awards ceremony. The gesture didn’t go unnoticed by Suzuki.“Even though I wasn’t on the team and I wasn’t able to do much for the team, how they did that for me holding up my uniform, not just in that situation but every game they had my uniform in the dugout, it meant a lot for me,” Suzuki said Wednesday through interpreter Toy Matsushita. “Just seeing everyone grind out there … they were one of the motivators to keep on going and keeping my head up throughout the whole process.”Suzuki, he...

Chicago Bulls defense has flown under the radar — but now it’s the star of the show as they chase the play-in tournament

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 06:52:06 GMT

The Chicago Bulls defense has flown under the radar since the start of the season.It was easily obscured by the results. The Bulls kept coughing up losses and choking in close games, struggling to string together more than two wins. And regardless of accuracy, a team’s defensive reputation often can find itself defined more by gut feeling than hard statistics, especially as losses pile up.Rare blowouts — particularly when they allowed 150 points in a loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves in December — stood out sharper than grind-it-out games dominated by consistent rotations. The Bulls gained the reputation of hemorrhaging offensive boards despite being a top-five defensive rebounding team.And the shadow of a sub-500 record dimmed any shine of the Bulls defensive rating, which is fifth-best this season and the best in the NBAsince the All-Star break.“When things go wrong as far as wins and losses, people tend to look at offensive rating and the lack of 3s,̶...

WASHINGTON (AP) — House Republicans on Wednesday demanded testimony and documents from two former Manhattan prosecutors who had been leading a criminal investigation into Donald Trump before quitting last year in a clash over the direction of the probe.Rep. Jim Jordan, the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, sent letters to Mark Pomerantz and Carey Dunne as the party rallies around the former president. They request transcribed interviews and a series of communications by March 27. A grand jury in New York is weighing whether or not to bring an indictment against Trump.
