DALLAS — Since shockingly being traded to Los Angeles nearly a year ago, Lakers star Luka Dončić didn’t know what losing a basketball game to the Mavericks felt like.  And he still doesn’t.

Sundance film festival: taut and emotionally intelligent drama follows the aftermath of an eight-year-old witnessing a horrifying sexual assault

Josephine, the titular character of Beth de Araújo’s stunning second feature, is eight years old. Played by equally remarkable newcomer Mason Reeves, Josephine likes playing soccer with her dad Damien (a phenomenal Channing Tatum), with whom she is close – the film’s crisp, near wordless opening minutes, which shift seamlessly from Josephine’s perspective to third party co-conspirator, running with the pair through San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park, swiftly convey a tender, playful bond: supportive, teasing father and innocent child.

That’s about all we know of Josephine – all we need to know, really – before seeing the incident that ruptures her youth. Having run ahead of her father at the park, Josephine alone witnesses the brutal rape of a female jogger by a man in a distinctive aqua polo. Much to the audible shock of viewers at the Sundance premiere, de Araújo rejects the ellipsis now de rigueur in movies handling sexual assault, how much of post-MeToo cinema – Promising Young Woman, She Said, Women Talking, last year’s Sundance standout Sorry, Baby – have skipped over or elided the actual assault, de-emphasizing violence and allowing viewers to fill in the blanks.

After he came up big down the stretch of Tuesday’s win over Seton Hall, Darling followed that up by scoring five points in the final 1:20, including the go-ahead 3-pointer in St. John’s 88-83 win over Xavier.

The "heartbroken" family of the anti-ICE Minnesota protester who was gunned down by border patrol slammed the Trump administration in their first statement since his on-camera killing.

Don­ald Trump this past week abruptly ditched his plan to invade Greenland — and the head-spinning about-face came thanks to the US bond market.

It was more of an exhale than an exclamation point. Four days after pulling a massive upset, UCLA built a big lead before persevering through a hideous stretch to prevail once again. Oh, well. It counts just the same in the win column. What’s most important is that the Bruins carried over many of the...

The Islanders made the long-awaited move to call up Isaiah George before Saturday’s loss, but did so in a way they would have preferred to avoid.

Trinity Rodman, fresh off signing a contract with the Washington Spirit, scored and the United States had five second-half goals in a 6-0 rout Paraguay on Saturday.

This past offseason, he was the Knicks’ biggest free agency signing in two years, since Donte DiVincenzo. He was supposed to be a big part of an improved bench unit, but he’s struggled and largely fallen out of coach Mike Brown’s rotation.
