SKIING
Shiffrin left fuming over start delay — Mikaela Shiffrin
slammed Slovakian race organizers after a women’s World Cup
giant slalom Sunday, calling them “unprofessional” for making
her wait in the start gate before her final run for what she felt
was too long. Holding a slim lead from the opening leg, Shiffrin
was ready to start when she had to wait for two minutes while
course workers replaced a broken gate. Finally allowed to go,
the American posted only the 11th-fastest time and dropped
to third, 0.37 behind the winner, Petra Vlhova of Slovakia. “It
took (two) minutes to fix a gate, that should take 30 seconds,”
Shiffrin said. “I just felt like she is a good enough skier to win
these races on her own and doesn’t need this unprofessional act
from something that she doesn’t have control over, I don’t have
control over, but just to say, ‘Oh, she is in the lead, let’s see if we
can do something to get into (Shiffrin’s) head.’” While Shiffrin
acknowledged interruptions are a common part of the sport,
she said the lengthy delay was not necessary this time. By beat-
ing her rival, Vlhova turned the tables on Shiffrin a day after the
American had beaten her in the slalom. Vlhova finished 10th
and 12th in the last two giant slaloms on the World Cup, and
12th at the world championships last month.
GOLF
Ernst wins Drive On Championship for 3rd LPGA title —
Austin Ernst won the Drive On Championship on Sunday for
her third LPGA Tour title, pulling away to beat fellow former
NCAA champion Jennifer Kupcho by five strokes at Golden
Ocala. Tied for the lead with Kupcho after each of the first two
rounds and a stroke ahead entering the day, Ernst closed with a
2-under 70 to finish the wire-to-wire victory at 15-under 273.
“I think it’s just really cool to be in the heat of it all week and to
be able to perform the way I did,” Ernst said. Kupcho, coming
off a closing eagle Saturday, had a double bogey and three bo-
geys in a 74. Following sisters Jessica and Nelly Korda in the
first two events of the year, Ernst gave the United States three
straight victories to open a season for the first time since 2007.
The 29-year-old former LSU star from South Carolina, showing
her school spirit Sunday with a purple shirt, also won the 2014
Portland Classic and the 2020 NW Arkansas Championship.
She won the NCAA title in 2011. Nelly Korda, tied with Ernst
and Kupcho for the first-round lead, had weekend rounds of 76
and 75 to tie for 28th at even par. Jessica Korda shot a 71 to tie
for eighth at 4 under.

No. 4 Stanford drubs No. 9 UCLA, 75-55, wins Pac
12 title — Kiana Williams scored 26 points to lead No. 4
Stanford to the Pac 12 Tournament championship with a 75-
55 win over No. 9 UCLA on Sunday night. Stanford, which
has made the Pac-12 championship game 18 times in 20 total
tournaments, improved to 14-4 in the finals while winning
its third title in five years. Lexie Hull added 24 points while
Haley Jones finished with 10 points and 13 rebounds for
Stanford (25-2). Michaela Onyenwere led UCLA (16-5) with
30 points. Charisma Osborne finished with 11 points and
five rebounds for the Bruins. The game was a renewal of one
of the more storied rivalries in Pac 12 postseason history, as
Stanford has played UCLA more than any other team in the
Pac-12 Tournament. The Cardinal improved to 11-1 against
the Bruins in the event - including four wins in championship
meetings.
AP source: Blake Griffin agrees to deal with Nets —
Blake Griffin is joining the collection of stars in Brooklyn.The
six-time All-Star agreed to sign with the Nets, a person with
knowledge of the details said Sunday. Griffin became a free
agent Friday when he completed a buyout agreement with the
Detroit Pistons. He cleared waivers Sunday and was eligible
to sign with any team. The often-injured forward decided to
join All-Stars Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving and James Harden in
Brooklyn, the person told The Associated Press on condition of
anonymity because there was no announcement. ESPN first re-
ported Griffin’s plans. The 31-year-old Griffin is a six-time All-
Star who has averaged 21.4 points and 8.7 rebounds since being
the No. 1 pick in the 2009 draft.

All-Star
Continued from A5
Lillard pulled up for a
3-pointer from the half-court
line. Not to be outdone, Curry
knocked down one from virtu-
ally the same spot.
The atmosphere at State
Farm Arena was downright ee-
rie compared to a normal All-
Star Game.
Instead of a packed house,
with A-list celebrities crammed
into prime courtside seats, this
game was attended by a smat-
tering of hand-picked guests.
They had plenty of room to
spread out in a 17,000-seat
venue that was essentially
transformed into a giant tele-
vision studio, with socially dis-
tanced spectators kept far from
the court.
Towering video screens were
set up behind the benches. Ve-
gas-style lights flashed around
the arena. Recorded crowd
noise blared over the sound
system. The entertainment
was provided by the host At-
lanta Hawks, who didn’t have
any players in the game but
were represented by their
cheerleaders, drum line and
DJ.
To address fears that one of
its biggest events would be-
come a super-spreader for a
virus that has killed more than
a half-million Americans, the
NBA pared down its usual
weekend-long ritual of extrava-
gant parties, gridlocked streets
and people watching
Brynn Anderson/AP
Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry holds the trophy after winning the 3-point contest at basket-
ball’s NBA All-Star Game in Atlanta on Sunday. Curry shot his way to another 3-point title on Sunday. Curry
also won the 3-point contest in 2015.
This All-Star Game was a
one-night-only event, with a
pair of skill competitions held
shortly before the game and
the Dunk Contest squeezed
into the halftime break. The
players flew in Saturday after-
noon and were largely con-
fined to a nearby hotel except
for their time on the court.
“This is when everyone in
basketball all over the world
comes to one city,” James said
during a Zoom call before the
game. “We’re able to sit back
and go, ‘Wow, this is the game
we have built.’ It’s a beautiful
weekend for all walks of life, on
the floor and off the floor.
“But I’m sitting here in my
hotel room, isolated. My fami-
ly’s not here. I’m by myself. It’s
just different, to say the least,
compared to previous years.”
TIP-INS
Team Durant: Zion William-
son of New Orleans started the
game in place of Embiid. The
Pelicans forward had 10 points.
Team LeBron: Paul had
16 assists. ... Lillard ended
the game with another long
3-pointer.
UP NEXT
The 71st All-Star Game will
be held Feb. 20, 2022, at Rocket
Mortgage FieldHouse in Cleve-
land. The 2023 game is set for
Salt Lake City, followed by In-
dianapolis in 2024.
