Heat load up on 3s early, hold off Clippers late in 140-123 victory to move to 14-7

Written by Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Syndicated User on December 2, 2025. Posted in Fort Lauderdale Mortgage, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Rates, Latest Headlines, Miami Heat, NBA, Sports.

MIAMI – Erik Spoelstra began the night by attempting to cast the matchup as a study in intestinal fortitude, the Los Angeles Clippers with losses in 13 of their previous 15, his Heat coming off a physical loss to the Detroit Pistons. “You have two opposing forces,” a stoic Spoelstra said. “That’s competition and who’s going to get to who.” Um, yeah, or you could just make a whole bunch of 3-pointers early, push the lead to 38and hold on from there for a 140-123 victory. So with those 3s, plus three runaway quarters, now a 14-7 record after concluding a 3-1 homestand by holding off a late...

With Gator legends Spurrier, Meyer on hand, Jon Sumrall vows, ‘We’re going to win.’

GAINESVILLE — With Steve Spurrier and Urban Meyer in the audience and a skeptical fan base tuned in, new Gators football coach Jon Sumrall made a Tim Tebow-like promise he expects to keep. Sumrall didn’t shy away from the enormous — and at times unrealistic — expectations at Florida when he was introduced Monday at the Heavener Football Center. “The standard here is championships,” he said. “That’s why I came. I’m built for this job. I was made for this job. Winners win; I’m a winner; we’re going to win.” UF hired the 43-year-old away from Tulane to resurrect a once-proud program with three...

Chris Perkins: Dolphins’ De’Von Achane, the likely team MVP, deserves a contract extension

Written by Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Syndicated User on December 1, 2025. Posted in Fort Lauderdale Mortgage, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Rates, Latest Headlines, Miami Dolphins, NFL, Sports.

MIAMI GARDENS — Miami Dolphins running back De’Von Achane became the fourth running back in franchise history to rush for more than 1,000 yards in 12 games in Sunday’s 21-17 victory over the New Orleans Saints. And, yes, he thinks about his possible contract extension at the end of the season and his future with the team. He told me as much a few days ago in the Dolphins (5-7) locker room. “A little bit,” said Achane, who has a career-best 1,034 yards rushing this season. “I mean, it’s not something you can’t think about. Like you said, it’s my future. But we’ve got to see what goes on, see...

Dave Hyde: Dolphins win, but what’s wrong with Tua Tagovailoa?

Written by Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Syndicated User on December 1, 2025. Posted in Fort Lauderdale Mortgage, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Rates, Latest Headlines, Miami Dolphins, NFL, Sports.

You can recount the weekly heroics of running back De’Von Achane, or this week’s heroics of safety Minkah Fitzpatrick. You can wonder how the Miami Dolphins wavered in those final few minutes, but appreciate how they ultimately held it together. The view from field level is they made the biggest plays like Fitzpatrick’s two-point conversion interception and a fourth-down stop to beat the New Orleans Saints on Sunday at Hard Rock Stadium. But this season began to be more about the view from 30,000 feet a while ago and so Sunday again brought this wide-angle question: What’s wrong with Tua...

Bianchi: Gators blow out FSU, now try to convince themselves Tulane’s Jon Sumrall would be a good hire

GAINESVILLE — The Florida–Florida State rivalry died Saturday night at The Swamp, and the body barely twitched. Oh, sure, technically the game was played. The helmets clacked. The bands played. The mascots waved. And, yes, the Florida Gators, behind bulldozing running back Jaden Baugh’s 266 rushing yards, ended their nightmarish season with a dominating 40-21 victory over Florida State — if you want to call surviving this mudslide of a football season a victory of any sort. Let’s be honest with ourselves, with our neighbors and with whatever football gods we deeply wronged over the past...

Baugh, Florida rout Florida State as Gators end four-game skid

Written by Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Syndicated User on November 30, 2025. Posted in College Sports, Florida Gators, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Rates, Latest Headlines, Sports.

GAINESVILLE — If Florida wasn’t going to play football again in 2025, the Gators wanted to make sure Florida State didn’t either. A year with little to celebrate finished on a high note as the Gators ended Florida State’s season during a 40-21 win to stop a four-game skid Saturday night in the Swamp. Tailback Jadan Baugh led the way with a career-high 266 rushing yards and two scores while quarterback DJ Lagway threw three touchdowns for the first time since a season-opening win against Long Island University. “The way we finished today, it was the first time we played a complete game,”...

Winderman’s view: Wheel of lineups has Ware out, with Spoelstra likely to spin again after escape vs. Bucks

MIAMI – Observations and other notes of interest from Wednesday night’s 106-103 NBA Cup victory over the Milwaukee Bucks: – So who drew up the Heat’s starting lineup now that the rotation is whole? – An answer, at least for this one night, might have been the Bucks. – Because With Giannis Antetokounmpo out, the Heat took advantage of the opportunity to play smaller, with an opening lineup of Bam Adebayo, Andrew Wiggins, Norman Powell, Tyler Herro and Davion Mitchell. – That had Kel’el Ware as a reserve for the fifth time this season. – Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said pregame he appreciates...

Herro again steps up as Heat win streak reaches six with 106-103 NBA Cup win over Bucks

Written by Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Syndicated User on November 27, 2025. Posted in Fort Lauderdale Mortgage, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Rates, Latest Headlines, Miami Heat, NBA, Sports.

MIAMI – Nothing about the Miami Heat’s first 17 games was about hero ball, with an equal-opportunity approach fueling unexpected early-season success. The past two games, however, have been a different story, with Herro ball both needed and impactful. Leading the Heat in scoring for the second time in as many appearances since returning from September ankle surgery, Tyler Herro’s 29 points proved essential in Wednesday night’s 106-103 victory over the Giannis Antetokounmpo-less Milwaukee Bucks at Kaseya Center. The win not only lifted the Heat to 13-6 and extended the Heat’s winning streak...

UCF uses second-half surge to pull off comeback win over Quinnipiac

Written by Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Syndicated User on November 26, 2025. Posted in College Sports, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Rates, Latest Headlines, Sports, UCF Knights.

UCF basketball has faced its fair share of hurdles on the court this season, yet the Knights have remained resilient, posting an impressive start to the season. On Tuesday, the Knights faced another challenge against a seemingly unpretentious Quinnipiac team that had just pulled off an impressive 83-75 victory over Pittsburgh on Sunday. The Bobcats remained on fire from beyond the arc, sinking 10 3-pointers to build a double-digit lead before UCF went on a 22-6 run in the second half to pull out a 102-91 win at Additiona Financial Arena. It was the first time the Knights scored 100 points...

Hurricanes keep moving up College Football Playoff rankings, inching closer to playoff berth

Written by Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Syndicated User on November 26, 2025. Posted in College Sports, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Rates, Latest Headlines, Miami Hurricanes, Sports.

The Miami Hurricanes have one week left to prove they deserve a spot in the College Football Playoff, and hope is still alive. Miami is No. 12 in this week’s College Football Playoff rankings released Tuesday night, which likely puts them on the outside of the playoff field. But UM could still make its way in. “Miami, again is a team that … really appears that they’re starting to look like the Miami team that started 5-0,” selection committee chair Hunter Yurachek said. “And what they’ve been able to do over the last three weeks and winning those three games and looking really good on the...
