“As we have played together, it’s also easy because he’s right next to me in the infield,” Kath said. “We get to talk about everything.

The Hawks avoided going winless in eight straight home games for the first time since the 2006-07 season, when they went 0-6-2 from Dec. 29, 2006, to Jan. 26, 2007. They hadn’t won at the United Center since Jan. 15, when they blanked the Anaheim Ducks 3-0.
Jalen Pickett added 11 points for Penn State (12-13, 7-10 Big Ten), which completed the regular-season sweep of the Wildcats for the first time since 2011. The Nittany Lions, who own the Big Ten’s best defense, allowing 64.8 points per game, held Northwestern to 36.7% shooting.

Nagy followed Friday by agreeing to return to Kansas City, where he was an assistant under Reid from 2013-17. He will also reunite with Chiefs star quarterback Patrick Mahomes, who spent his rookie season working with Nagy, then the team’s offensive coordinator.
“He was the first person I believe in this league in NBA history to be a star in their role,” Thompson said. “I remember saying that exact quote, saying ‘be a star in a role’ when we were on those runs in Cleveland, making those championship runs.

“I think that’s lost a lot, that actual caring about what you’re doing out there, taking pride in playing defense,” Crow-Armstrong said. “It’s such an offensive game, and I’ve always believed, for myself at least, if I’m struggling up at the plate, I’m always going to have that defense.
“I’m not the type of player to look too much into the future,” he said. “I want to be here, present now, because obviously that’s what’s most important.

“The first (technical) one, I tried really hard to get,” Underwood said. “Second one, I didn’t even deserve it. If you’re going to throw me out, come on, just let me earn it. I didn’t like some of the calls and I deserved the first one.”
“What we’ve done up to this point in time, in my opinion, is just not good enough,” Donovan said. “I’m not trying to be negative, it’s just we’ve got to get better. … We were dealing with a lot. I thought the guys did a really really good job settling the ship, so to speak, with a lot of turbulence.

It’s not good enough right now.”
