This article is about the Lonzo Ball and the LA Lakers, and how many NBA players are drawing a target on his back. Lately NBA point guards have been all over Ball like Patrick Beverly and John Wall.
What the reporter did well was that they included a large amount of information from the coach Luke Walton. They also included in-game details of opportunity of what happened with an average performance by Lonzo Ball. For example, giving details on how he would make the next 3-pointer since he missed the first one.
What the reporter needs to work on is use soundbytes from sources that actually fit into the story. They added some from Lonzo's dad, Lavar, that were not necessary and was a distraction to the main topic of the matchup between Ball and Wall.
Overall, I think I need to add a lot more in-depth content when writing about a story or incident that occurred. Even though recaps are much harder, its very important to include as much detail of possible, while also providing the correct information.

Weekly Blog 10/13
This article is on the U.S Men's National Soccer Team and how they were eliminated from contention for the World Cup by Trinidad and Tobago.
What the journalist did well was give a summary of the awful loss by USA and explain now what the role will be for them. I also liked how they inserted a tweet from a foreign person and their reaction to USA losing.
What I didn't like was that the article did not go into detail, and was only a couple of paragraphs long. The journalist could have done a better job of showing tweets from citizens on their thoughts of the game, as well as, provide more opinion on the game itself.
What I would use in my work is using different sources to relay information and get people's reaction of events that happened to strengthen the angle of my story.
