INDIANAPOLIS — “My mindset is to come out and hoop and just be myself.” That was Portland Trail Blazers rookie Scoot Henderson, hours before the NBA’s Rising Stars Challenge. He came out, hooped and scored 10 points in a 40-35 loss to open the evening’s four-team mini tournament.

Gas prices in the U.S. keep going up and up, and Washington’s Democrats have found a convenient scapegoat for the pain inflicted on American drivers — Big Oil. President Joe Biden says oil companies “shouldn’t pad their profits” while crude oil prices fall.
