SEATTLE — The Kings built a four-goal lead then nearly squandered it all while tying a franchise record in their penultimate game of the regular season. Samuel Helenius scored twice, David Rittich made 29 saves, and the Kings spoiled the Seattle Kraken’s home finale with a 6-5 victory on Tuesday night, winning their fourth straight and tying the franchise record for single-season wins (48) set in 2015-16. The Kings (48-24-9, 105 points) are already locked into a best-of-seven first-round playoff series against the Edmonton Oilers, and they secured home-ice advantage with a 5-0 win in Edmonton on Monday night.

SAN FRANCISCO — Jimmy Butler had 38 points, seven rebounds and six assists creating opportunities on both ends at every chance, Steph Curry scored 37, and the Golden State Warriors earned the seventh seed in the Western Conference playoffs by beating the Memphis Grizzlies, 121-116, on Tuesday night in the Play-In Tournament. Playoff Jimmy in all his brilliance on the big stage took serious pressure off Curry, who knocked down a baseline 3-pointer with 1:50 to go and one from the left wing with a minute on the clock. Golden State advances to a best-of-seven first-round series with the Houston…
INGLEWOOD — Clippers point guard James Harden will be appearing in his 16th NBA postseason, an interrupted journey that began back in 2010. He has not missed the playoffs in nearly two decades. Yet, the prospect of playing additional games never grows old for the 35-year-old guard. Each series presents new challenges, new players and another chance at winning a title, something that has eluded Harden so far. Harden and the Clippers kick off the quest for their first NBA championship on Saturday at 12:30 p.m. against the 2023 champion Denver Nuggets in Game 1 of a best-of-seven first-round playoff series.…
The San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department on Monday, April 14, provided new details on an e-bike crash that killed a 14-year-old boy in Chino Hills. The crash, on April 5, was at least the second serious accident in less than two weeks in the county involving e-bikes, which are receiving increased scrutiny — and regulation — nationwide because of concerns over unsafe riding. In the April 5 crash, several Vehicle Code laws may have been violated. The boy who died was driving the e-bike with a rider standing on the pegs when he lost control and hit a wall near…
EL SEGUNDO — Throughout his first season as an NBA head coach, JJ Redick’s eagerness for game planning for the Lakers’ next opponent was evident. Now, he and his staff are about to face their biggest problem-solving challenge as a collective: strategizing for a first-round playoff series against the Minnesota Timberwolves, with Game 1 kicking off the series on Saturday night at Crypto.com Arena. “The first thing [assistant coach] Greg St. Jean and [head video coordinator Michael Wexler] have been really helpful [with], not just for me, but just for the whole staff, is the first thing was getting organized,”…

LOS ANGELES — When it comes to the quarterback position for the USC football team, the Trojans can never have too much of a good thing. A position that was in flux last season seems to be heading in the opposite direction this year, with a stable group of quarterbacks who have all impressed so far three weeks into spring camp. Jayden Maiava, who took over down the stretch last season and went 3-1 in his four starts – including a 35-31 come-from-behind victory over Texas A&M in the Las Vegas Bowl – is the frontrunner to start. But senior…
Riverside County sheriff’s deputies rescued a terrified hiker from a cliff on the Pacific Crest Trail on Sunday, April 13, as she was “death gripping” an outcropping and her legs trembled as she planted her feet on a ledge about 4 inches wide. Deputy Jason Beeman, who rappelled from the Rescue 9 helicopter to the hiker, recorded the operation with a camera just inches from the woman. The sheriff’s aviation unit posted the tape to its Instagram page. The hiker got stuck in the Whitewater area of the trail just south of the San Bernardino County line, the Instagram post…
By REBECCA BOONE and CEDAR ATTANASIO A federal judge has allowed the U.S. Department of Justice to temporarily stop funding legal education programs for people facing deportation or immigration court while a lawsuit brought by the organizations that provide the service moves forward in court. The decision from U.S. District Judge Randolph D. Moss in Washington, D.C., means a coalition of nonprofit groups that offer the education programs will lose their federal funding on Wednesday – and possibly, some access to potential clients inside detention centers. Unlike criminal cases, people in immigration courts and detention centers don’t have a right…
