JJ Redick on one adjustment he will make for Lakers vs. Thunder series

There is a growing feeling thatLos Angeles Lakerscoach JJ Redick is becoming a good NBA head coach. He has guided the team to at least 50 regular-season wins in both of his two years at the helm, and he just directed them to a victory in the first round of the playoffs over theHouston Rockets— a victory no one predicted when that series began.

But no one is immune to criticism, and there have been times when some have gotten on Redick for not calling quick enough timeouts during an opponent's hot streak. With the Lakers about to begin the Western Conference semifinals against the defending NBA championOklahoma City Thunder, he knows that he will have to adjust how he uses timeouts.

Hetalked aboutthe adjustments he will make in that department during a media session on Monday.

“They're really good at runs, and part of that is how good their defense is, their ability to create turnovers," Redick said. "The live-ball turnovers really kill you. ... I've got to be more diligent than I normally am. I like my timeouts, I like going into the fourth quarter with four timeouts, I like having two in the last 30 seconds. I don't think you have the luxury of worrying about that because the games get away from you so quick because of how explosive they are when they go on their runs.”

Los Angeles lost all four of its regular-season games to the Thunder during the regular season, and it lost three of those games by at least 29 points. The Thunder were first in defensive rating, second in opponents' turnover percentage and first in points off turnovers per game during the regular season, and they also had an incredible 11.1 net rating.

Blunting their momentum will be a big key for L.A. in this series if it is to be competitive. That means not only limiting live-ball turnovers but also calling quick timeouts when Oklahoma City starts a spurt and scoring immediately out of those timeouts.

Salmon and birds killed in ‘tragic’ chemical spill on River Spey tributary

A devastating pollution incident has wiped out a significant number of fish, eels, and birds in the Knockando burn, a tributary of the River Spey in Moray.

A chemical, thought to be caustic soda, is understood to have entered the water, "destroying" various species in recent days.

The Scottish Environment Protection Agency (Sepa) is investigating the potential pollution. Fly fishers warn the burn's salmon population has been "wiped out" and could take years to recover.

Duncan Ferguson, director of the Spey Fishery Board, said the pollution incident was one of the largest he had seen in 36 years of working on the river, with a two-kilometre stretch of the Knockando burn affected.

He said: “It’s a tragic event.

“It’s a really bad outcome and it didn’t have to happen.”

He said the salmon population could face a five-year period of recovery, with a two-kilometre stretch of the burn “destroyed”.

The chemical is thought to be industrially linked, he said.

The pollution incident comes at the peak period for fly fishing on the Spey, and just 10 days after another pollution incident at Spey tributary.

Earlier, a number of salmon died after white paint was spilled into the Burn of Carron.

A spokesman for Sepa said: “Sepa are investigating a potential pollution incident in a tributary of the River Spey and are working to identify the source and impacts.”

• A nearby couple heard the woman's cries for help during the attack and saved her

A woman sustained serious injuries during a brutal dog attack in California.

Dorrie Reyes was mauled by a pack of stray dogs while walking in her neighborhood in Weston Ranch, Stockton, at around 11 a.m. local time on April 23, according to aGoFundMe.

“A group of 7-9 stray dogs (including German Shepard breed and mixed breeds) approached her and violently attacked her,” organizer Rhenell Schiller wrote.

Dorrie filmed the pack of dogs approaching her before being attacked,ABC 10reported. Her son, Ronnie Reyes, told the outlet his mother suffered "150 to 200 lacerations and punctures all over her body,” including her head, face, arms and legs.

"They got her pretty bad," he added of the animals that caused Dorrie's injuries.

A nearby couple heard Dorrie’s cries for help during the attack and saved her, Schiller wrote on the GoFundMe page.

“The good Samaritan was, as far as I know, afraid of dogs, but he still came out to help my mom,” Dorrie’s son told9 News. “This could have been a lot worse."

Dorrie “lost a ton of blood” in the attack and was hospitalized for her injuries, Schiller said on the GoFundMe page. She is now in recovery.

“We are happy to report that she is making great progress in her recovery," Schiller wrote. “We thank the doctors and nurses who worked with her, and she has been in great spirits as she’s been receiving a ton of love from friends and family.”

“We are extremely lucky that she is still here today,” the statement on the fundraising page, which will help cover Dorrie’s medical and legal fees, added.

Stockton Vice Mayor Jason Lee said in a statement to 9 News that the California city is actively responding to dangerous stray dog situations in the area.

“This is also a community issue. Pet overpopulation and roaming animals don’t happen without a lack of responsible ownership,” added Lee.

It is currently unclear if anyone has been or will be charged in connection with the attack.

PEOPLE reached out to the Stockton Police Department (SPD) and Lee for comment on Sunday, May 3.
