Colorado reached into the NFL ranks
again to find their football coach, luring
Karl Dorrell back to Boulder from the
Dolphins.
Athletic director Rich Geoge hired
Dorrell on Sunday, two weeks after Mel
Tucker bolted for Michigan State.
Tucker, who had a decade of experience
in the NFL, went 5-7 in his one season in
Boulder after arriving from the Georgia.
George has asked the Board of Regents
to approve a five-year contract for Dorrell
worth $18 million plus incentives that
includes a starting base salary of $3.2
million with annual increases of $200,000.
Also, George is proposing a salary pool of
$3.8 million for assistant coaches, up from
$3.155 million for Tucker’s staff.
Dorrell was the Dolphins receivers
coach in 2019 and had recently been
promoted to assistant head coach. He
served as an assistant coach for the
Buffaloes under head coaches Bill McCart-
ney and Rich Neuheisel in the 1990s.

Golf: Rookie Viktor Hovland made a
30-foot birdie putt on the final hole to earn
a one-stroke victory at the Puerto Rico
Open in Rio Grande to become the first
Norwegian winner in PGA Tour history.

Hovland, 22, overcame a triple-bogey to
shoot a final-round 2-under 70 and finish
at 20-under 268. Josh Teater (69) finished
second.

Tennis:No. 2 seed Stefanos Tsitsipas of
Greece beat 19-year-old Canadian Felix
Auger-Aliassime 6-3, 6-4 to win the Open
13 title. It was the 21-year-old Tsitsipas’
fifth ATP career title and second straight at
the tournament in Marseille, France. ...
Jeanne Evert Dubin, the younger sister of
18-time Grand Slam champion Chris Evert,
died after a 2^1 ⁄ 2 -year battle with ovarian
cancer. She was 62. Evert Dubin had a
standout junior career, turned pro in 1973
at age 15 and reached a career-high singles
ranking of 28th in 1978, when she retired.

Also:Host Manchester United beat rele-
gation-threatened Watford 3-0 to move
into fifth in the Premier League standings.
Fifth is a Champions League qualification
spot due to Manchester City’s recent
two-season ban from European competi-
tions by UEFA. ... Chase Briscoe won the
rain-delayed NASCAR Xfinity Series at Las
Vegas Motor Speedway.

LeBron James scored 29 points and put
the Lakers ahead on a fallaway jumper
with 30 seconds to play, and the Lakers
split their season series with the Celtics
with a 114-112 victory Sunday in Los
Angeles.
James missed a tying free throw mo-
ments before he coolly nailed the shot the
put the Lakers ahead to stay in a frenetic
fourth quarter to cap the latest chapter of
this famed NBA rivalry.
Anthony Davis had 32 points and 13
rebounds in the fifth straight win overall
for the Lakers, who took a 32-point
blowout loss in Boston last month.
Davis hit two free throws with 12.3
seconds left and added one more with 6.7
seconds to play, before Jayson Tatum was
called for charging in the final second as he
attempted to create one last basket.
Tatum matched his career high with 41
points for the Celtics, who had won 12 of 14
starting with that dominant win over the
Lakers in January.
Kemba Walker missed his second
straight game with left knee soreness.
The Lakers are comfortably atop the
Western Conference standings, while the
Celtics sit third in the East.

Raptors win big: Kyle Lowry had 16
points and 11 assists, extending his career-
best streak of double-doubles to six, and
the Raptors routed the visiting Pacers
127-81, the most lopsided victory in Raptors
history.
Pascal Siakam scored 21 points and
Serge Ibaka had 15 points and a season-
high 15 rebounds as the Raptors won for
the 17th time in 18 games and extended
their home winning streak to nine.
The Raptors’ largest lead was 49 points,
their biggest of the season. The 46-point
margin of victory surpassed a 36-point win
over the Hornets on Nov. 18.

Bulls overcome Beal’s big night:Brad-
ley Beal scored a career-high 53 points, but
the Wizards still fell to the host Bulls
126-117.
The Bulls ended an eight-game skid.
Coby White scored 33 points to join
Michael Jordan as the only Bulls rookies
with consecutive 30-point games. Zach
LaVine added 32 points and broke the team
record for 3s in a season. He has 177.

Bucks idle, still clinch:Despite being off,
the Bucks became the earliest team to
clinch a postseason berth in at least 15
years, according to Elias Sports Bureau.
The Bucks (48-8) booked a trip to the
playoffs with 55 days left in the regular
season after the Wizards’ loss.

Layups: 76ers G Ben Simmons will
undergo more tests on his back Monday,
ESPN reported. Simmons left the 76ers’
loss to the Bucks on Saturday. ... Grizzlies F
Jaren Jackson Jr. has a sprained left knee
and will be re-evaluated in two weeks.
