The Los Angeles Lakers dropped the ball in a critical game against the Chicago Bulls on Sunday afternoon, falling back to below .500 (37-38).
Eating up the disappointing loss was ex-Lakers guard Patrick Beverley, who singled out Lakers superfan Shannon Sharpe and also cussed out home fans at Crypto.com.
Patrick Beverley Gets Revenge Over Lakers
Beverley’s blood was surely boiling when the Lakers traded him in February to the Orlando Magic before the trade deadline, then got bought out to join the Bulls.
The countdown to Houston has officially begun.
The march to the 2023 Final Four began in earnest on Sunday after No. 5 Miami and No. 5 San Diego State advanced past the Elite Eight to join No. 4 Connecticut and No. 9 Florida Atlantic in Houston.
With the stage now set, men’s college basketball fans now know which matchups to prepare for when the national semifinal tips off on April 1. Set to air on CBS, the first game will see South Region champion San Diego State take on East Region champion Florida Atlantic at 6:09 p.m.

Don’t let perhaps the most polarizing foul call of the last few years of college basketball overshadow a deserved winning effort from the Aztecs.
The ball was out of Darrion Trammell’s right hand and in the air, taking a palpably tense arena along for the ride to the rim. The KFC Yum Center momentarily hushed as every eyeball in the place followed the arc of the shot. This moment would decide a desperately fought South Regional championship game—but not in a way that was immediately evident.
The running back has been a key cog in the Chargers’ offense the last two seasons.
In six years with the Chargers, running back Austin Ekeler has gradually evolved from a role player to a valuable bell cow.
In 2021, after never starting more than 10 games in a season, Ekeler exploded for 911 rushing yards and 12 touchdowns on the ground on a team that fell just short of the postseason. In 2022, he slightly eclipsed those totals, racking up 915 yards and 13 scores for a team that did make the playoffs.
