Yesterday, the NYPD confirmed that 114 arrests were made yesterday after school officials called in police. Officers cleared out demonstrations that were camping out on the school's south lawn. Mayor Eric Adams said the school's students have a proud history of protests, but they're not allowed to trespass.        The final two spots in the NBA Playoffs will be locked up today. The Miami Heat will play host to the Chicago Bulls in a battle for the eighth-seed in the Eastern Conference. In other Play-In Tournament action, the New Orleans Pelicans will welcome De'Aaron Fox and the Sacramento Kings to the Big Easy for the final spot in the West.        "American Idol" star Mandisa is dead at 47.
