FORT LAUDERDALE — Luis Suárez scored his fifth goal of the season for Inter Miami and Alonso Martínez scored the first of his career for New York City FC as the clubs played to a 1-1 draw on Saturday night. Suárez staked Inter Miami to a 1-0 lead just 15 minutes into the match, scoring on a header with an assist from Julian Gressel off a set piece. Suárez has also assisted on three goals as he continues to carry the scoring load with superstar teammate Lionel Messi out for the past three weeks with a muscle injury. Suárez is tied with the Los Angeles Galaxy’s Dejan Joveljic and one behind...

By ALANIS THAMES (AP Sports Writer) MIAMI — Ke’Bryan Hayes had a single and an RBI double, and the Pittsburgh Pirates used another solid pitching outing to beat the Marlins 7-2 on Friday night. Michael A. Taylor and Connor Joe also doubled for the Pirates, who beat the Marlins in front of 13,636 people at loanDepot park — a sharp decline in attendance from the crowd of 32,564 on opening day. Marlins games have typically been among the fewest-attended in MLB for years, but Thursday’s opening-day home crowd was Miami’s largest since 2016. Starter Martín Pérez held the Marlins to one run...

MIAMI — Observations and other notes of interest from Friday night’s 152-82 victory over the Portland Trail Blazers: – This wing thing is getting interesting. – For reasons beyond the question of what happens when Tyler Herro returns. – Because Haywood Highsmith is on the rise. – As Jamie Jaquez Jr. levels off. – And as Caleb Martin remains somewhat uneven amid a variety of ailments. – The suggestion of Highsmith over Jaquez in the playoff rotation would have seemed folly earlier this season. – But Highsmith continues to change that calculus. – Yes, he’s more limited than Jaquez. – More of...

Heat bludgeon Blazers 142-82 in most lopsided victory in franchise’s 36 seasons

Written by Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Syndicated User on March 30, 2024. Posted in Fort Lauderdale Mortgage, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Rates, Latest Headlines, Miami Heat, NBA, Sports.

MIAMI — The Portland Trail Blazers spent the 2023 offseason acting as if the Miami Heat didn’t exist, at least when it came to soliciting trade offers for since-dealt guard Damian Lillard. Friday night at Kaseya Center, the Blazers could not deny the reality of the Heat very much taking care of business, with Erik Spoelstra’s team pounding Portland 142-82 — the most lopsided victory in the Heat’s 36 seasons. “There was a professionalism from our part and an energy and an intentionality,” Spoelstra said. “And that’s what we’re aiming for right now. “Hopefully that becomes more who you...

By TIM REYNOLDS (AP Basketball Writer) Florida Atlantic is hiring Baylor associate head coach John Jakus as its coach, a move that comes four days after Dusty May capped his six-year run with the Owls and took over at Michigan. Jakus and the school have agreed on a five-year contract. Financial terms were not immediately released and the school was planning to hold an introductory news conference on Friday. “This program has been in such great hands, and I have a tremendous amount of respect for what Dusty May, his staff, and the players have accomplished,” Jakus said. “FAU has been one of...

TALLAHASSEE — A three-judge federal panel Wednesday rejected a constitutional challenge to a congressional redistricting plan that Gov. Ron DeSantis pushed through the Legislature in 2022, saying opponents did not prove lawmakers acted with “racially discriminatory purpose.” The decision was the second time in less than four months that courts have upheld the map in cases focused on the overhaul of a North Florida district that in the past elected a Black Democrat. The state’s 1st District Court of Appeal on Dec. 1 backed the plan — a decision that has been appealed to the Florida Supreme...

Winderman’s view: Heat learn that sometimes we-have-enough isn’t enough

MIAMI — Observations and other notes of interest from Tuesday night’s 113-92 loss to the Golden State Warriors: – Basically this simple: The Warriors had weapons, the Heat didn’t. – Or at least not enough available. – It’s not that the Heat don’t, just that they weren’t in uniform. – Which kind of matters. – Not only again without Tyler Herro, Duncan Robinson and Kevin Love. – But this time without Jimmy Butler, as well, due to illness. – Not exactly how you want to go into it against Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, Andrew Wiggins, Draymond Green and the rest of the Warriors who showed up. –...

No Butler and not much of a shot for Heat in 113-92 loss to Curry, Warriors

Written by Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Syndicated User on March 27, 2024. Posted in Fort Lauderdale Mortgage, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Rates, Latest Headlines, Miami Heat, NBA, Sports.

MIAMI — One team arrived Tuesday night to Kaseya Center fully loaded, the other significantly shorthanded. It played out as expected. On a night the Miami Heat not only were without Tyler Herro, Duncan Robinson and Kevin Love, but this time also lacked Jimmy Butler, Erik Spoelstra’s team ultimately was no match for Stephen Curry and his fully ambulatory friends. So Golden State Warriors 113, Heat 92. “We could never get it to the moment of truth,” Spoelstra said. It basically a night of Heat center Bam Adebayo looking for a friend and most of his friendly faces out of view, Butler due to...
