If L.A. were to lose its first Play-In game, it would have to defeat the winner of the matchup between the No. 9 and No. 10 seeds. Things get complicated for the Lakers if they lose in New Orleans on Sunday. L.A.

So, when Mayor Sherman heard that she had gone missing, he wanted to help. “I felt that Maddi was a daughter of Winona,” said Mayor Sherman. “She was a bright young woman working through school, working … a — a job in Rochester and raising kids all at the same time, that’s a lot. … So, I had respect for Maddi.

Lakers forward Anthony Davis reacts to a jeering fan during the Lakers’ win over the Memphis Grizzlies on Friday. (Brandon Dill / Associated Press) April 13, 2024 6:33 PM PT NEW ORLEANS —  The Lakers and the Memphis Grizzlies actually played more than 13 minutes in the third quarter Friday because of a clock error that went unnoticed. “We have confirmed that the game clock was inaccurately set in the third quarter of the Los Angeles Lakers-Memphis Grizzlies game last night at FedExForum,” an NBA spokesperson said Saturday in a statement. “After a shot clock violation, the clock was set at 2:20 when it should have been at 1:14.

While unfortunate, the error was not identified in time to resolve the situation in-game.” The error surfaced on social media Saturday afternoon.

Deteriorating roadways has become a prevailing topic in local discourse about public infrastructure. Elected officials have long stated that cost is a primary barrier to maintaining their network of streets, but a state audit released on Thursday revealed a more complicated reality: One with little oversight to ensure cities and counties are making their own roadway investments. The audit specifically found that the California State Controller — the state’s bookkeeper or accountant — does not examine whether cities and counties are meeting a requirement to use money from its own coffers when receiving money from a state program to fund road projects. The program, called the “Local Streets and Roads Program,” was set up by a measure, Senate Bill 1, that was signed into law in 2017. SB 1 raised several existing taxes and fees to put towards a variety of transportation-related projects. The measure came at a time when California was facing a $59 billion shortfall in funding to adequately maintain its highway system and localities were facing a $78 billion deficit for addressing their road networks.
