CHICAGO (AP) — Chicago stars Zach LaVine and DeMar DeRozan missed the Bulls’ game against the Milwaukee Bucks on Thursday because of injuries.LaVine was ruled out because of a sore right foot. DeRozan, who was a game-time decision, sat out with a sprained left ankle, leaving the Bulls without their two best players.LaVine, averaging 21 points, exited Chicago’s blowout loss at Boston on Tuesday. Coach Billy Donovan wasn’t sure how much time the two-time All-Star will miss.“I know he’s going to be out tonight, but that’s really kind of all I have at this point in time,” he said. “It’s just something that I think flared up for him in the Boston game and is still dealing with the soreness.”Guard Alex Caruso was available after being listed as questionable with a strained left toe. Chicago was 5-14 with five straight losses heading into the game. ___AP NBA: https://apnews.com/hub/NBASource

A win over the basement-dwelling San Jose Sharks would not have meant a whole lot to the Bruins a week ago. But after three straight ugly losses in which the B’s allowed 17 goals, any positive development was welcome.Though the B’s started a tad slowly, they nailed down a 3-0 win over the Sharks on Thursday at the Garden, with a couple of encouraging style points to boot. They got goals from both of their rejiggered top six lines, the pushed back emphatically when challenged physically and Jeremy Swayman, pulled in his last start through little fault of his own, posted his second shutout of the season.The B’s had a long way to go to get their game back to respectability, but it was a good first step.The two teams played a low-event, scoreless first period which, for the Bruins in the early going, didn’t look unlike some of the hockey they’d been playing on their three-game losing streak. In the offensive zone, they seemed a bit brain-locked, waiting a h...

Cairo Santos’ game-winning field goal Monday night was a gimme, a 30-yard tap-in that finished the Chicago Bears’ 12-10 victory against the Minnesota Vikings. From the right hash, with a running clock, Santos set himself up. Snap, hold, kick. W.Nothing to it.“We all showed character in finishing tonight,” the kicker said afterward from a jubilant visitors locker room at U.S. Bank Stadium.That kick was the Bears’ finishing touch, the punctuation of a 66-yard final drive that had its biggest moment when Justin Fields drilled a clutch 36-yard completion to DJ Moore on third-and-10 to propel the offense into field-goal range.That was the biggest play of the night, both in significance and yards gained. Against zone coverage and facing a four-man rush, Fields kept his poise in the pocket. A huge hole opened in the middle of the field.Moore broke in. Fields threw his fastball.Boom.That play has been talked about most this week — and with good reason. Fi...
