LINCOLN, Ill. (AP) — Dressed in her Sunday best — pink ruffled sleeves and a rainbow tulle tutu — Crystal Martinez’s 4-year-old daughter proudly presented her with a multicolored bouquet of carefully crafted tissue paper flowers. With her 5-year-old son nestled on her lap, laughing in delight, Martinez held out her arms and pulled the girl into a hug so tight that her glasses were knocked askew.“I want you! I don’t want the flowers,” Martinez said, smiling and holding her children close.Martinez’ five children, including the three aged 13, 10 and 6, last month traveled for three hours from Chicago to visit her in Logan Correctional, Illinois’ largest state prison for women and transgender people, on the Reunification Ride.

They knew what he was getting at.“Let’s talk about effort,” Malone said after Miami seized Game 2 with a 111-108 win, snatching homecourt advantage in the process. “This is the NBA Finals, we are talking about effort; that’s a huge concern of mine.”Malone tried to warn inquiring media tempted to deem the series over after Game 1 when he insisted the Nuggets didn’t play well. But Sunday reaffirmed the defensive lapses he’d seen when he professed concern. He knew Miami, which had been a great 3-point shooting team throughout the playoffs, wasn’t going to remain cold for long.That effort he cited trickled into numerous alarming aspects of the night.“We had guys out there that were just whether feeling sorry for themselves for not making shots or thin...
