When the Celtics suspended Ime Udoka on the eve of training camp, Brad Stevens trusted Joe Mazzulla enough to take over as the team’s interim head coach despite his inexperience and an organization going through uncertainty.In February, that confidence continued to carry through as Stevens took the interim tag off Mazzulla and gave him a contract extension.Now comes the true test of Stevens’ faith in Mazzulla, who will coach his first career playoff game when the Celtics open the first round at home on Saturday against either the Heat or Hawks. Mazzulla guided a successful regular season for the Celtics, who finished with 57 wins and the No. 2 seed. But the playoffs – and coaching a team with championship-or-bust aspirations – presents a different, more complicated challenge.Stevens’ confidence isn’t wavering based on the circumstances, though. Asked Sunday if Stevens, the Celtics’ former head coach, will communicate with Mazzulla more as the playoffs begin, he pushed back.“We talk ...Tua Tagovailoa excited about Dolphins’ offseason, talks progress in workouts at charity luau event

HANNAPES, France — Maryland lawmakers neared a midnight deadline on Monday to end a legislative session that included passage of measures on gun control, abortion rights, a licensing and taxation framework to open a recreational marijuana market, and a plan to boost offshore wind development goals.After a long debate, the Maryland General Assembly passed a bill Monday that would prevent someone from carrying a concealed handgun in certain areas. The measure would prohibit people with permits to carry concealed handguns in sensitive areas like school playgrounds, hospitals or polling locations. “The goal that we have in passing this bill is not to chip away at Second Amendment rights, as hard as it may be for some minority party members to believe. It’s to reduce gun violence of all kinds, gang violence, mass shootings, self-inflicted gunshots,” said Del. Marc Korman, a Montgomery County Democrat who is the House majority leader.

WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. spies caught Russian intelligence officers boasting that they had convinced the oil-rich United Arab Emirates “to work together against US and UK intelligence agencies,” according to a purported American document posted online as part of a major U.S. intelligence breach.U.S. officials declined to comment on the document, which bore known top-secret markings and was viewed by The Associated Press. The Emirati government on Monday dismissed any accusation that the UAE had deepened ties with Russian intelligence as “categorically false.” But the U.S. has had growing concerns that the UAE was allowing Russia and Russians to thwart sanctions imposed over the invasion of Ukraine.The document viewed by the AP includes an item citing research from March 9 with the title: “Russia/UAE: Intelligence Relationship Deepening.” U.S. officials declined to confirm the document’s authenticity, which the AP could not independently do.
