The top two teams in the Eastern Conference squared off in another thriller Monday night. Jaylen Brown (32 points, 11 rebounds) outproduced fellow NBA All-Star starter Cade Cunningham, but his last-second fadeaway missed the mark, allowing the East-leading Detroit Pistons to escape with a 104-103 win over the second-place Celtics at Little Caesars Arena. “(Brown is) a super talented player playing at an all-time level right now,” Pistons forward Tobias Harris said in a postgame interview with NBC sideline reporter Robbie Hummel. “… At the end of the day, I know he’s going to hit tough shots, but it’s just…

The first-ever World team for the NBA All-Star Game is already looking loaded. And the fate of LeBron James’ record streak of All-Star selections will now be decided by coaches, or perhaps even Commissioner Adam Silver.Milwaukee’s Giannis Antetokounmpo, Oklahoma City’s Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Denver’s Nikola Jokic, the Los Angeles Lakers’ Luka Doncic and San Antonio’s Victor Wembanyama were among those announced Monday as starters — an inexact term this year — for next month’s All-Star Game at the Los Angeles Clippers’ home arena in Inglewood, California. They’re likely heading to the World team, which will take on two teams of U.S.…
The Patriots could have two more games remaining in their season, but it’s never too early to start thinking about potential players New England could bring in to bolster its roster for next season. New England welcomed the Houston Texans to town on Sunday, featuring standout pass rushers Will Anderson Jr. and Danielle Hunter. In light of this, the Patriots may want to consider drafting their own marquee pass rusher in the first round of the 2026 NFL Draft. CBS Sports NFL writer Josh Edwards released a mock draft on Monday, predicting that the Patriots will select Texas A&M pass…

Former B.M.C Durfee High boys basketball coach and athletic director Thomas “Skip” Karam died Sunday at age 91. He was the Hilltoppers’ head coach from 1960-1995 and won 659 games and five state titles during his time with the program.

He was looked up to, he demanded excellence from not only his players but Durfee athletes as a whole.” Gauvin, who was a…
It’s hard to believe that the Red Sox are about one quarter as many years removed from the 2004 World Series as the total length of the curse that was broken that year. A huge difference, of course, was the addition of three more trophies. With the announcement of Jon Lester being enshrined the the Red Sox and Cubs’ respective Halls of Fame and his pending addition to the Hall of Fame ballot that will come out later this year for the Class of 2027, let’s look back at the ‘06 and ‘16 teams before 2026 begins.The 2005 season ended…
For the first time in his career, Jaylen Brown will start an NBA All-Star Game. The Celtics wing was voted as one of the five Eastern Conference starters for the 2026 All-Star Game in Los Angeles, joining Milwaukee’s Giannis Antetokounmpo, New York’s Jalen Brunson, Detroit’s Cade Cunningham and Philadelphia’s Tyrese Maxey. It’s the fifth career All-Star selection for the 29-year-old Brown, who’s led Boston to the second-best record in the East while longtime co-star Jayson Tatum recovers from Achilles surgery. Brown ranks fourth in the NBA in scoring at 29.7 points per game, trailing only Luka Doncic, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and…
By MARTHA BELLISLE The U.S. has never won an Olympic medal in biathlon, the only winter sport where that’s the case. The drought could come to an end next month at the Winter Olympics. The team brought on Campbell Wright, a rising star and dual citizen from New Zealand who combined fast skiing and precision shooting to win two world championship silver medals last year and has had strong results this season. In addition, the team has a homecourt advantage, of sorts: Their Italian head coach, Armin Auchentaller, grew up in Antholz, the village that’s hosting the Olympic biathlon competitions.…
