Happy sports equinox day! Today is the only day this year that you can (try to) watch an NBA, NFL, MLB, NHL and WNBA game at the exact same time, or as I call it: The Sickos Challenge.

Come for a biased fan’s account of why Luka is the best showman in the NBA. Stay for the rational film breakdown answering: where have Kessler and the lobs gone? My latest column👇 tinyurl.com/lakers-jazz-g3

The Lincoln Riley era at USC is reaching its point of no return. But while Trojan fans want Riley fired right now, cutting ties with a coach midseason is rarely worth the trouble it causes. More on today’s Times of Troy newsletter latimes.com/sports/usc/newsl…

Times of Troy: Firing a football coach midseason is usually a bad idea

The ripple effects of previous midseason firings, you could argue, ended up setting USC back even further.

There’s a quick but remarkable moment here when SGA, despite fighting tears, maintains his composure to gently tell the reporter “go ahead” with questions. He exudes both emotion and professionalism in a brutal situation, reflecting why teammates respond to him as a leader. AK

Ross Newhan wrote countless exceptional stories and broke a ton of news during a Hall of Fame career at the @latimes, but this Bill Plaschke column highlighted his heart and character. May his memory be a blessing. latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-…

No Type Casting

David Newhan's success, once problematic, is now a joy to his sportswriter dad

Oklahoma City’s Jalen Williams just suffered what appeared to be a significant injury to his left leg. His unfortunate injury luck continues.

Luka 52 points, 10 assists, 8 rebounds, 2 steals... just took the game over after the first quarter. Two killer 3s and an assist for Reaves 3 in last two and a half minutes to seal the win. Lakers improve to 3-0, but this one took a LOT to get there.

Also Luka needed Ace Bailey to grab like 5 offensive rebounds from him... to finally come to play and take over.

I dont know what's more crazy Lakers giving up 47 in 1st quarter, trailed by -18 playing like crap...or that they lead by 3 and just scored 74 in a half.

Any hope Lincoln Riley and his Trojans had found at Penn State had all but slipped away Saturday night in Wisconsin, with one of the worst losses of the Riley era latimes.com/sports/usc/story…

'I'm disappointed.' Lincoln Riley laments USC’s struggles in loss to Wisconsin

No. 16 USC sees its playoff hopes take a serious hit in a 24-7 loss to Wisconsin following what was arguably the Trojans' worst performance of the season on offense.

Biggest compliment I can give Bob Chesney’s Bruins is that I’ve stopped seeing them as a delightful fairytale — and instead as what they are: One of the nation’s top teams. With that comes greater expectations … like wanting better starts than Saturday’s. latimes.com/sports/ucla/stor…

Commentary: UCLA’s 7-0 start has one glaring flaw. Bob Chesney is running out of time to fix it

Bob Chesney has made UCLA the second-half darlings of college football, but the Bruins must address their slow starts if they hope to reach the playoff.
