Winderman’s view: Tyler Herro sizzles, but too much early fizzle for Heat vs. Bucks

Observations and other notes of interest from Monday night’s 122-114 loss to the Milwaukee Bucks: – This increasingly is looking like a season of Herro ball. – Or at least least a regular season of that. – Or at least the start of a regular season of that. – On the nights when Tyler Herro is efficient, the boost is tangible for the Heat. – As was the case on Monday night. – At other times, when the shots are forced, it becomes an entire team out of sync. – Apparent already is that Jimmy Butler is easing his way into the season. – Now Bam Adebayo is ailing. – And it’s not as if this has the look...

Heat (except Herro) fall flat without Adebayo in 122-114 loss in Milwaukee

MILWAUKEE — No, not a night to take stock of the balance of power between the Miami Heat and Milwaukee Bucks. Not with Bam Adebayo out of the Heat mix. And not with Jimmy Butler still warming his way into the regular season. So a night after being humiliated on their home court by the Atlanta Hawks, and a night when they got Khris Middleton back in their mix after a day off, the Bucks pushed past the Adebayo-less Heat 122-114 Monday night at Fiserv Forum. While this hardly was anything close to avenging last season’s 4-1 opening-round outster by the Heat, a series outcome that led to Milwaukee’s...

Florida Panthers blow early 2-0 lead, fall to Boston Bruins in overtime

By JIMMY GOLEN BOSTON — The Boston Bruins are off to another hot start, and they weren’t about to let the Florida Panthers put an end to it just yet. “It was an important win, especially after last year,” said forward Pavel Zacha, who scored with 84 seconds left in overtime to lead the Bruins to a 3-2 win over the team that ended last year’s record-setting regular season with a first-round playoff elimination. “This game meant a little bit more. … You just want to beat teams like this, especially after the playoffs. And we’re happy that we won.” Brad Marchand and Charlie McAvoy also scored for...

Dave Hyde: Jalen Ramsey says his game-changing play in Sunday’s Dolphins win is just the beginning

MIAMI GARDEN — Sitting at his new locker, both knees on ice, Jalen Ramsey was handed the phone of teammate DeShon Elliott with a video rolling a half-hour after Sunday’s win. Several other members of the secondary leaned closer to the scene. “OK, let’s see,” Ramsey said. This wasn’t to watch his dramatic introduction to the Miami Dolphins (6-2), Sunday’s game-changing interception of New England quarterback Mac Jones just before half. That football that now sat in his equipment bag beside the shoulder pads with an under-plastic $5 bill attached to them. “That’s me,” he said about the bill, meaning...
