MIAMI — Observations and other notes of interest from Sunday night’s 121-84 victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers: – This is how the Heat can be both inspiring and infuriating at the same time. – Inspiring because of the bounceback after Friday night’s no-show against the Pelicans. – Infuriating because of losses like that game against New Orleans, when it seemed as if they simply could not be bothered. – A little more of what the Heat offered Sunday, and a little less of what was on display on Friday night, and there wouldn’t be this desperate scramble in the play-in bracket. – No excuses...

MIAMI – Observations and other notes of interest from Friday night’s 111-88 loss to the New Orleans Pelicans: – Considering the way the Heat shot 3-pointers in this one — or more to the point did not — the biggest news of the night came arguably before the game, with Heat guard Duncan Robinson expressing optimism about a rapid return, even as he missed his second game with a back issue diagnosed as left facet syndrome. – “Thankful that it’s not too serious,” Robinson said pregame. “A big thing is making sure that just kind of calm it down.
