Following their loss to crosstown rivals LA Clippers, the Los Angeles Lakers were frustrated. Both superstar LeBron James and Lakers head coach JJ Redick said the Lakers can’t be sloppy because the team has little margin for error.

Renato Moicano might already have his next opponent lined up after his unexpected title fight appearance. Saturday’s UFC 311 main event went poorly for Moicano, who stepped up to fight lightweight champion Islam Makhachev on less than 48 hours’ notice after Makhachev’s original opponent Arman Tsarukyan withdrew due to a back injury. Moicano was already on the card having been scheduled to fight Beneil Dariush, but being in fight shape did him little good as Makhachev submitted him inside of a round.

According to the negativity-inducing RFU, coverage of rugby in this country is far too down-beat, so here is a concerted attempt to see the glass half-full. There are reasons to believe that England’s slump could be over soon.In fact, there are many reasons to believe that Steve Borthwick’s national team could emerge from the rubble of their horror year to become contenders to win the Six Nations. Seriously. Some of the scorelines inflicted on Premiership clubs over the weekend, in both the Investec Champions Cup and Challenge Cup, may mean that any English optimism requires a leap of faith, but…
