Bulls lock Down Billy Donovan in coaching search Source: Gruden, Payton fined for not wearing masks.

-

CHICAGO » Billy Donovan wasn’t on the market for long — hardly a shocker given he’s won everywhere he’s coached. That he’s headed to Chicago might be a surprise, only because big and bold moves have been few and far between for the team. Then again, these aren’t the same old Bulls.

Chicago struck it big Tuesday, hiring Donovan and landing one of the top candidates on the market to lead a rebuilding team with an overhauled front office. The 55- year- old spent the past five seasons with the Oklahoma City Thunder. He replaces Jim Boylen, who was fired after the Bulls finished 22- 43.

Wilson has 29 points, 7 blocks; Aces even series with Sun.

BRADENTON, FLA. » A’ja Wilson had 29 points, seven rebounds and a careerhigh seven blocks to lead the topseeded Las Vegas Aces past the Connecticu­t Sun 83- 75 on Tuesday to even the best- of- five playoff series at 1- 1.

Wilson converted a three- point play with 1: 03 remaining to break a tie at 75. After Connecticu­t’s 17th turnover of the game, Wilson drove to the basket again, bobbled it and made the layup while being fouled. She missed the free throw, but Angel McCoughtry grabbed the rebound and Dearica Hamby made 1 of 2 free throws for an eight- point lead.

LAS VEGAS » Two more NFL head coaches and their teams have been fined for not wearing masks on the sideline.

A person with knowledge of the punishment said Tuesday that Jon Gruden of the Raiders and Sean Payton of the Saints were each fined $ 100,000 for not wearing masks on the sideline on Monday night. The person, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the league wasn’t announcing specific fines, said the teams were also fined $ 250,000 for the infraction­s.
