For a tantalizing moment, it seemed like @UCLAMBB might have persevered through it all. Trailing #Gonzaga by 10 points with 2:40 left, the Bruins ran off a 14-3 run ending in Bailey’s three-pointer. It wasn't enough. latimes.com/sports/ucla/st…
Trailing his teammates, Julian Strawther took a flip pass from Hunter Sallis and buried a 35-footer with six seconds left to lift third-seeded Gonzaga to a breathless 79-76 victory over the second-seeded Bruins. latimes.com/sports/ucla/st…
Unlike two years ago, by being outscored by 16 points in the second half, the Bruins flat blew this game.

Their fight, so powerful for so long, suddenly faded.

Their teamwork, so smooth for so many seasons, suddenly broke, @BillPlaschke writes. latimes.com/sports/ucla/st…
Maybe the injuries finally caught up with them.

Their best defensive player was wheeling around on a scooter. Their best big man was on the bench in street clothes. Maybe Jaime Jaquez Jr. and Tyger Campbell grew weary of shouldering the heaviest of loads. latimes.com/sports/ucla/st…

Early in his Hollywood career, #JohnWick director Chad Stahelski had carved out a niche in stunts, a lanky 6-foot-1 fighter who could do the splits & backflip on command. He almost missed the opportunity of a lifetime by turning down work on “The Matrix.” lat.ms/3lGB5p6 Image
Because he had a steady gig on NBC’s “The Pretender,” he decided against working on the film. But after production delays, he got another chance and took it, becoming Keanu Reeves stunt double and a coordinator on the sequels. lat.ms/3lGB5p6
By the time Reeves was mulling the indie neo-noir thriller that would become 2014’s #JohnWick, he knew that Stahelski and fellow stunt veteran David Leitch could work as second-unit directors on studio action pics. lat.ms/3lGB5p6

“Victoria, a gay Latina who had the courage to criticize Disney, was silenced,” reads a statement from former Marvel Studios executive Victoria Alonso's lawyer, Hollywood power player Patty Glaser. latimes.com/entertainment-…
Glaser said former Marvel exec Victoria Alonso “was terminated when she refused to do something she believed was reprehensible,” without giving specifics. latimes.com/entertainment-…
The Hollywood Reporter published a story citing unnamed sources who said Alonso was fired for violating an employment contract by doing press for “Argentina, 1985,” the Oscar-nominated film she produced. Alonso’s lawyer refuted that narrative. latimes.com/entertainment-…

#JohnWick director Chad Stahelski went to USC because of its proximity to Dan Inosanto’s famed martial arts academy in Marina del Rey and found himself training with legends at 17 and meeting Brandon Lee, whom he doubled on “The Crow.” lat.ms/3lGB5p6 Image
Some of his first breaks came in the early ‘90s from genre auteur Albert Pyun, who put him in B-movies like “Brainsmasher: A Love Story” and “Nemesis 2: Nebula.” lat.ms/3lGB5p6
“Albert took me under his wing and had me play small parts and learn how to do stunts. That led to everything,” Stahelski said of the late filmmaker, who died last year. lat.ms/3lGB5p6

For the first time in decades, Tulare Lake is reappearing in the San Joaquin Valley, reclaiming the lowlands at its historic heart.

This month, after a historic series of powerful storms, the phantom lake has reemerged.

Once the largest freshwater lake west of the Mississippi River, Tulare Lake was largely drained in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, as the rivers that fed it were dammed and diverted for agriculture. latimes.com/environment/st… Mark Grewal, an agricultura...
Rivers that dwindled during the drought are swollen from heavy rains and snow, and are flowing from the Sierra Nevada into the valley, spilling from canals and broken levees into fields that usually teem with lucrative plantings of tomatoes, cotton and hay.latimes.com/environment/st…

Julio Urías will get the @Dodgers' opening day nod for the first time in his career, the team announced Friday. latimes.com/sports/dodgers…
Urías is set to become a free agent for the first time. Though both he and the @Dodgers have indicated they’d like to continue their partnership, there have been no signs they’ll be able to strike an extension before the start — or end — of the campaign. latimes.com/sports/dodgers…
NL West preview: Plenty of questions surfaced during baseball's offseason. Some answered, others not. One kept coming up over and over. Where are the @Padres getting all of this money? latimes.com/sports/story/2… Image

New: Scientists have discovered that much of the DDT dumped on the seafloor not far from Catalina Island in the 1940s and ‘50s never broke down.

Thread ⬇️
latimes.com/environment/st…
The chemical remains in its most potent form in startlingly high concentrations, spread across a wide swath of seafloor larger than the city of San Francisco. latimes.com/environment/st…
“We still see original DDT on the seafloor from 50, 60, 70 years ago, which tells us that it’s not breaking down the way that [we] once thought it should,” said UC Santa Barbara scientist David Valentine. latimes.com/environment/st… “And what we’re seeing now ...
