After slow-playing stars Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves, rotating different lineups to accommodate an unreasonably busy six-game preseason schedule and giving their two-way players extended run, the Lakers buttoned up the rotation for a final preseason game Friday that coach JJ Redick called a “dress rehearsal.â€

With the curtain finally lifting on Tuesday, the Lakers are not quite ready for showtime.

Doncic dazzled with 31 points, nine assists and five rebounds to lead five double-digit Lakers scorers, but the Kings came back for a 117-116 win at Crypto.com Arena. Despite playing without Keegan Murray, Domantas Sabonis, DeMar DeRozen or Malik Monk, the Kings still shot 54.7% from the field, led by 25 points on 10-of-17 shooting from former Laker Dennis Schroder.

Lakers guard Dalton Knecht hit a game-tying three-pointer with 9.4 seconds remaining, but Kings forward Isaac Jones made a game-winning free throw with 0.8 seconds left after he was fouled by Nick Smith Jr.

While Doncic and Austin Reaves (eight points, four rebounds and eight assists) played together in a preseason game for the first time, the Lakers were still without superstar LeBron James, who remains sidelined because of a sciatica issue in his right side. His absence, which is expected to last at least until November, forced the Lakes to re-evaluate their starting lineup.

Redick unveiled his first choice to fill the role, adding guard Gabe Vincent into the starting lineup along with Reaves, Doncic, forward Rui Hachimura and center Deandre Ayton. Vincent, who averaged 17 points in his first three preseason games while shooting 50% from three-point range, continued his incredible preseason with 14 points on five-of-six shooting with four made threes.

The 29-year-old who has struggled with injuries the last two seasons played the majority of the preseason without Doncic or Reaves, but fit into the starting lineup seamlessly Friday as a potential solution to James†absence.

“His ability to shoot the ball in such tight windows; he takes shots that I would never even think about taking in situations,†Reaves said before the game Friday. “… And it can’t happen to a better guy. He’s one of our leaders of this team. Lead-by-example kind of guy. Shows up at work every single day, smile on his face.â€

Marcus Smart, whose preseason got off to a slow start because of Achilles tendinopathy, came off the bench for 14 points with three rebounds. Viewed as a potential starting option after signing as a free agent in the offseason, Smart played 20 minutes without a shot attempt in his preseason debut on Tuesday. Redick lamented that he wished the team could have gotten him a shot in his first preseason action.

On Friday, the key free agent addition was tentative on the offensive end to start. He passed up shots to unselfishly force the ball into traffic. When the Lakers fumbled a transition opportunity, Smart, who had an open lane to the hoop but tried to pass the ball back to a teammate to only turn the ball over, tapped his chest apologetically toward the Lakers bench.

But Smart rebounded for 11 points in the second half. The former NBA defensive player of the year continued his gritty play by diving through the air to intercept a pass. He got going on offense, dancing on the wing, then driving to the basket for an acrobatic layup.

James wonâ€t be re-evaluated until the last week of October. The teamâ€s initial timeline that he would be re-evaluated in three to four weeks covers the first nine regular-season games. It will be the first time in James†23-season NBA career that he misses the season opener.

The 40-year-old superstar sat at the end of the bench Friday on an elevated seat cushion.

The Lakers were also without Bronny James (ankle) and rookie Adou Thiero (knee). Center Jaxson Hayes, who slammed three monstrous dunks in the first half, didnâ€t play the second half because of a right wrist contusion.

Canadiens rookie sensation Ivan Demidov tied the game with under three minutes left in the third period to force the extra session.

Alex Newhook and Kirby Dach also scored for Montreal. Samuel Montembeault made 18 saves in the winning effort. The Canadiens ran their winning streak to three games as they launched a four-game homestand.

Jaden Schwartz, Jani Nyman, Jamie Oleksiak and Jared McCann also scored for the Kraken, who dropped their first game of the season and the opener of a six-game road trip. Joey Daccord stopped 17 shots.

The Canadiens exacted revenge on Seattle, which swept the two-game season series last season, including an 8-2 drubbing on home ice last October.

The Canadiens win was the culmination of a night filled with celebrations surrounding Montrealâ€s home opener.

Pre-game ceremonies were highlighted by lengthy ovations for Canadiens head coach Martin St. Louis, Demidov, and reigning Calder Trophy winner Lane Hutson, who signed an eight-year, $70.8 million contract extension on Monday.

Canadiens: Newhook scored his first goal of the season in his 300th career NHL game. The goal was assisted by defenceman Alexandre Carrier, who also celebrated his 300th game on Tuesday.

Kraken: McCann, meanwhile, scored in his third straight game to start the season. The 29-year-old, who also collected an assist in the game, has four points over the stretch.

It took less than five minutes for the Canadiens to open the scoring as Newhook, positioned at the far post, tapped in a perfectly-placed pass from Demidov behind Daccord on just Montrealâ€s second shot on goal.

Caufield scored in a fourth straight Canadiens home opener. The 24-year-old has five goals across those four opening-night contests.

Kraken: Visit the Ottawa Senators on Thursday.

Canadiens: Host the Nashville Predators on Thursday.

SHANGHAI — Jeeno Thitikul came from four shots down with five holes to play to force a playoff with Minami Katsu, before producing another extraordinary shot on the fifth playoff hole to claim the LPGA Shanghai and become the first two-time LPGA tournament winner of the season on Sunday.

Top-ranked Thitikul’s 63 was the round of the day and included seven birdies and an eagle. The Thai player’s 24-under 264 closed what had appeared to be a comfortable margin for overnight leader Katsu of Japan, who had started the day two shots ahead and extended that to four after the 13th.

But the Thai player reeled that in with birdies on the 14th, 15th and 16th, before an incredible eagle with the ball bouncing along the mottled 17th green of Qizhong Garden Golf Club in Shanghai to draw level.

Katsu (65) could only respond with a birdie of her own at the 17th, but had another birdie chance on the final hole to claw back the victory only for the ball to slide past the hole and forcing the playoff.

Pars through the first four playoff holes, rotated between the 18th and the 10th, included Katsu having two birdie putts to win only to narrowly miss the hole on both.

On the fifth playoff hole the deadlock was broken as a brilliant approach by Thitikul placed the ball 3 feet away, while Katsu’s second shot fell short of the green at the par-4 18th.

Katsu’s chip for birdie was impressive but missed, leaving Thitikul a simple birdie putt to close out a remarkable victory nearly two years after losing in an epic nine-hole playoff to Celine Boutier at the LPGA Malaysia.

From disappointment to delight

It was Thitikul’s second win of the season after claiming the Mizuho Americas Open in May and helped ease the disappointment of her inexplicable four-putt meltdown on the final hole at the Kroger Queen City Championship last month.

“What happened on the last event (was) definitely still in my mind, but like to be able to prove myself again this tournament, which is … like a dream come true and you know, I’m not carrying a thing on my shoulder,†she said.

Minjee Lee, who won her third major title at the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship in June, shot 68 on Sunday for a 19-under 269 as her challenge faded through the middle part of the round for a third-place finish.

Jenny Bae had a round of 69 and finished in a tie for fourth with Miyu Yamashita (67) of Japan and Somi Lee (69) of South Korea at 17-under 271.

Defending champion Ruoning Yin of China carded a final round of 68 to finish in a tie for 26th.

The Shanghai event is the first of five tournaments in Asia. There are two weeks in South Korea, including the International Crown team event, and other tournaments in Malaysia and Japan.

The WWE Universe made their voices heard loud and clear following John Cena’s victory at WWE Crown Jewel: Perth. During the post-show event, the fans chanted “We want Edge,” making clear who they want Cena to face next. Not satisfied with just the chant, the crowd in Australia sang Metalingus, the theme song used by the Rated-R Superstar.

These chants were mostly ignored by Paul ‘Triple H’ Levesque, who spoke about the great experience WWE has had in Australia for Crown Jewel. While Levesque eventually highlighted the fans singing, saying the crowd had been “doing this all night long,” he did not make reference to the message the fans were sending.

Edge, aka AEW’s Adam Copeland, is considered by many to be Cena’s greatest rival. In 2006, Edge ended Cena’s first reign as WWE Champion and John would repay the favor mere weeks later.

Copeland recently shared that he’d be leaving AEW programming, and was unclear when, if ever, he would return. While some quickly saw this as a sign of a WWE return for a Cena match, it has since been reported that this is not the case.

John Cena has just four appearances left in his WWE farewell tour, a run that has seen him face rivals like Randy Orton, Brock Lesnar, and AJ Styles. And while a Cena-Edge match may never happen again, fans in Australia remain hopeful.

PHILADELPHIA — With one seventh-inning swing from Teoscar Hernandez and two starting pitchers used in relief, the narrative of the anticipated showdown between the Philadelphia Phillies and Los Angeles Dodgers took a twist as the Dodgers rallied from a three-run deficit to take a 5-3 win in Game 1 of the NL Division Series on Saturday night.

The Phillies, who have constructed their best bullpen during their four-year run of playoff appearances, suffered a familiar fate: a reliever blowing a lead late in a playoff game.

The Dodgers, who have suffered from bullpen problems all season, saw their pen hold the lead — albeit with a few nerves frayed in the process.

Hernandez’s two-out, three-run home run in the seventh off Matt Strahm was his third of the postseason. The blast capped the comeback and gave the victory to Shohei Ohtani, who struck out nine in six innings in his first career postseason start as a pitcher.

Tyler Glasnow, the projected Game 4 starter, then recorded five outs in relief, and Roki Sasaki, who returned late in the season from a shoulder injury to make two relief appearances and then one more against the Reds in the wild-card series, got the final three outs for his first big league save. Between those appearances, Alex Vesia — part of the much-maligned regular Dodgers relief corps — notched the biggest out of the game, inducing Edmundo Sosa to fly out to center field with the bases loaded to end the eighth inning.

Glasnow, who started warming up in the sixth inning when the Dodgers were trailing, entered with the lead. “It was definitely different,” said Glasnow, who last made a relief appearance when he was with the Pirates in 2018. “I was in the bathroom, and the phone rang and they yelled my name.”

Glasnow didn’t know if he’d pitch in the game. Beforehand, the coaching staff told him to go to the pen. Glasnow said he had been in relief mode since the wild-card series, throwing at least a few pitches every day in case he was needed.

He ran out of the bathroom. “I warmed up and it definitely felt weird, but fun; the adrenaline of kind of having more things going on, not needing as much effort to get the same stuff,” he said. “Then, Teo hit the home run.”

Cristopher Sanchez had dominated the Dodgers until Enrique Hernandez drilled a two-run double with two outs in the sixth, cutting the Dodgers’ deficit to 3-2. After David Robertson put two runners on in the seventh, Strahm faced the top of the Dodgers’ lineup, starting with a lefty-lefty matchup with Ohtani. Strahm struck him out looking, Ohtani’s fourth strikeout of the game. Mookie Betts popped up to third, and that brought up Teoscar Hernandez, who was ready for the at-bat.

“I watched videos. He likes to go up in the strike zone,” Hernandez said. “I think that’s when he’s stronger. And something up in the strike zone. My first three at-bats, I chased a lot of down. Not trying to do overswinging or anything like that. Maybe a hit. Try to bring in one run to tie the game. But he left it over the strike zone.”

It wasn’t a bad pitch by Strahm. Hernandez struggles on pitches up in the zone, and he had just two home runs all season on fastballs in the upper third of the strike zone. He didn’t miss this one, crushing Strahm’s 1-0 fastball 394 feet to right-center.

Hernandez was a postseason star last year for the Dodgers and homered twice in the first game against the Reds in the wild-card series. He now has 25 RBIs in his first 23 postseason games, tied with Rafael Devers and Scott Spiezio for the second most through 23 games behind only Lou Gehrig, who had 31.

Maybe it wasn’t a surprise that the rally occurred in the seventh inning. Miguel Rojas and Max Muncy mentioned before the game that hitting coach Aaron Bates said in the hitters’ meeting to be ready for the intensity and the crowd noise from the start of the game — and be ready for the seventh inning. “He said that we were going to have an opportunity to come back in the game,” Rojas said.

Glasnow is only a temporary bullpen solution because he’ll still start Game 4 if the series goes that long. Sasaki, however, has thrown four scoreless innings in his four relief appearances. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts wouldn’t confirm that Sasaki is officially his closer.

“I felt good with Glas tonight in some capacity, given that he’s going to start a potential Game 4,” Roberts said. “I felt good about Vesia in some capacity tonight. And with Roki, I just felt that the lane right there, you know, asking Alex to do an up-down, I just felt comfortable with him right there. Honestly, I could have gone to a couple other guys in those spots, but just kind of knowing who I’ve got, I felt good about those guys we ran out there.”

The Phillies are staring at the same demons as 2023, when Craig Kimbrel lost twice in the NLCS to the Diamondbacks, and 2024, when Jeff Hoffman lost twice to the Mets in the NLDS and Strahm allowed four runs over two innings.

“I feel like I got gut-punched on missing two pitches,” said Strahm, who said he forgot about last year’s NLDS struggles. “And one of the two got damaged.”

Robertson, the veteran reliever who is 10th all time in postseason games pitched, said there is no panic. “We’re down one game. It’s not a big deal. Play the best three out of five, so we’ve got plenty of time to make up some ground,” he said. “We need to come back. We have the off day tomorrow. Come back and win a ballgame at home and then get ready to go on the road.”

PLEASANTVILLE, N.Y. –On Tuesday night, Pace University Women’s Volleyball showcased its resilience in a hard-fought non-conference matchup. Despite battling through extended rallies and momentum swings, the Setters ultimately came up just short in a four-set decision against Felician University (19-25, 28-30, 25-22, 23-25). The result moves Pace to 7–3 overall on the season as the team now turns its attention toward the start of Northeast-10 Conference play this weekend.

Felician gained the upper hand in the opening frame before the Setters fought back in a marathon second set that featured 23 ties and nine lead changes. Kadence Ackmann and Emily Cineus provided steady offense, while Skyler Tennant’s serving and the setting tandem of Camila Rodriguez and Aralyn Saulys kept the match tight. Despite the push, Pace was edged 30-28 to fall behind two sets.

The Setters answered in the third behind Cineus’s near-perfect attacking and strong support from Leah Mendez and Keelah Chambliss, pulling out a 25-22 win to extend the night. Ackmann led the way with 16 kills and 10 digs, while Alice Bender anchored the back row with 19 digs. In the fourth, Pace again pushed Felician to the wire before dropping the set, 25-23, to close the match.

Cineus finished with 12 kills on a .667 hitting percentage, Shirley added eight kills, and Johnson and Mendez chipped in six apiece. Saulys posted 28 assists, and Rodriguez added 18, helping Pace’s offense produce 53 total kills.

The Setters will return to action on Saturday at 1:00 p.m. as they continue out-of-conference play on the road at Queens College.
