BOSTON — Steve Nash wants fans to believe the Nets’ playoff hopes don’t squarely rest on Kevin Durant’s shoulders; His team’s success is more a byproduct of excellent team basketball than the stars they signed to max contracts. The Nets’ 114-107 loss to the Celtics in Game 2 decisively proved otherwise, as did a regular…

Blustery, cold weather Tuesday afternoon did not stop Chicago Cubs pitcher Marcus Stroman from partaking in his regular between-starts routine during batting practice before a game against the Tampa Bay Rays at Wrigley Field. Stroman, sporting lime green Nikes, positioned himself at shortstop, ready for any BP balls hit his way. He leaped in the…

The sweatshirt featured just two words. Profane? Without a doubt. Surprising? Sure, for a fighter of Cris Cyborg’s humble nature and devout Christianity.

Steeply rising mortgage rates are starting to chill the region’s housing market but not enough to keep prices from hitting all-time highs in all six counties last month.

It’s going to be hard to beat the Mets if they get this version of Carlos Carrasco all year. They’ve already got Max Scherzer, at some point they’ll hopefully get Jacob deGrom back, and now Carrasco has found the wayback machine. In Thursday’s 6-2 win over the Giants, Carrasco went 7.2 innings, notched seven strikeouts,…

By Jeff Lowenfels Many gardeners don’t start all their plants from seed. We buy “starts,” or seedlings — nursery-grown plants to transplant into our gardens and containers. These mostly consist of annuals and vegetables in plastic cell packs of four or six plants each. Many people also buy starts in individual containers. I pay particular…

DETROIT — The Yankees were lucky to get out of Comerica Park with just a loss Thursday. The Bombers were booed and taunted by a very angry crowd after intentionally walking Miguel Cabrera, sitting on 2,999 hits, in the eighth inning. The Tigers drove in two more runs after Aaron Boone’s controversial decision and went on…

The South Florida Sun Sentinel continues its 10-part series looking at the top prospects in the upcoming NFL draft (April 28-30) with edge rushers. Players who pressure quarterbacks are the second-most in-demand position in football, so don’t be surprised if three edge players are among the top-five selections in the 2022 draft class. Georgia’s Travon…

Major fundraising committees on both sides of the aisle are already throwing serious money at the primary race for the newly drawn 47th Congressional District seat in coastal Orange County. It’s widely seen as a contest between two attorneys: high-profile Democratic incumbent Katie Porter and former GOP Assembly leader Scott Baugh. But three Republican challengers…

In Adam Gase’s ideal world, a hypothetical universe where everything aligned for him perfectly before the 2018 season, the Miami Dolphins would have found a way to get atop that draft to select Baker Mayfield. Gase and Mayfield were kindred spirits, and if the Dolphins’ former coach was going to move on from Ryan Tannehill,…

With defensive end Emmanuel Ogbah re-signing with the Miami Dolphins, the critical component of the team’s defensive front that was potentially in flux this offseason was instead solidified. The Dolphins, like they’re set to do in the secondary, are returning their defensive linemen from a defense that anchored the team’s midseason turnaround to rebound from…
