Don’t get Jayson Tatum angry.But even then, it probably won’t matter.Tatum scored 17 of his 35 points in the fourth quarter to put away the Knicks in a 114-98 Celtics victory on Monday despite drawing a technical foul he strongly disagreed with.The Celtics led by 12 when Tatum was whistled for his fourth personal foul, which frustrated him. He clapped his hands, then said something in the direction of the official who called the foul before the official on the other side assessed him a technical foul.“I shouldn’t have got the tech,” Tatum said. “I mean, it’s tough. It’s an emotional game, right? The fans can see it, everybody watching can see it, it’s hard to play the game without emotions. I understand there’s a fine line and balance, but fourth quarter, we playing defense and I screamed nothing crazy. I’m not even directing it towards anybody. “For the ref on the other side to come and give me a tech, I don’t agree with that because it wasn’t right. Can’t go back...

DEL MAR, Calif. – Del Mar City Council voted 4 to 1 to approve a set of guidelines to make it clear where the city stands on the LOSSAN rail realignment project and any future decisions made about it. Del Mar residents also spoke out on where they believe the city should stand on the controversial plan to move the train off the bluffs by 2035. “Do not be passive, lets be active.
