LONDON (AP) — Luke Littler, a 16-year-old on debut at the World Darts Championship, came within one match of winning the sport’s biggest prize and a jackpot of 500,000 pounds ($630,000). But that wasn’t even close to being the strangest sight at what is probably the most colorful event in the British sporting calendar.For three weeks from December through January, it is party time at the Alexandra Palace — or “Ally Pally” — in London, when grown men dress like babies and revelers turn up in ever more outrageous costumes. In Wednesday’s epic final, which was won by world No. 1 Luke Humphries, fans came dressed as everything from the characters from Alice in Wonderland to pop and rock stars like Elton John, David Bowie and Michael Jackson. A woman could be seen limbo dancing between a group of men dressed as traffic cones and the sight of someone wearing a foam dartboard on their head was never too far away.It all adds to an occasion that feels distinctly British as fans joined togeth...Zach LaVine embraces a quiet return with the Chicago Bulls after missing 17 games — but questions still linger after win
