MIAMI GARDENS — Once again, the Miami Dolphins offered a tribute to the improbable Sunday by scoring 35 straight points. Once again, Tyreek Hill got deep on a defense whose primary intent was keeping him from getting deep and, once again, Tua Tagovailoa threw the touchdown. And so, for once in a long while, they’ve earned the national stage next Sunday in Philadelphia against the Eagles (5-1). “It’s about time the Dolphins play some meaningful games,” linebacker Jerome Baker said after the 42-21 win over the Carolina Panthers (0-6). Baker sat at the locker he has sat for six years, making...

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. — North Carolina wide receiver Tez Walker had a protracted battle with the NCAA, trying to secure his eligibility for this season. He showed why the No. 12 Tar Heels (6-0, 3-0 ACC) wanted him on the field so badly, scoring three touchdowns to lead North Carolina to a 41-31 win over No. 25 Miami (4-2, 0-2 ACC) at Kenan Memorial Stadium in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, on Saturday. The loss was the Hurricanes’ second in a row and their fifth straight defeat against the Tar Heels. UNC quarterback Drake Maye finished the game with 17 completions on 33 passes for 273 yards....

Written by Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Syndicated User on October 14, 2023. Posted in Fort Lauderdale Mortgage, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Rates, Latest Headlines, Miami Heat, NBA, Sports.

The crowd at Friday night’s exhibition at Frost Bank Center deemed attendance worthy because of the home debut of San Antonio Spurs No. 1 draft pick Victor Wembanyama. Miami Heat coach Erik Spoelstra deemed it worthy because of the opportunity to explore the back end of his 21-player preseason roster. So while Wembanyama had his moments in his team’s 120-104 victory at the building formerly known as the AT&T Center, with 23 points on 10-of-15 shooting, four rebounds, four assists and three blocked shots in 22:51, Spoelstra’s focus was on what remained of a roster that left nine rotation...

Written by Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Syndicated User on October 11, 2023. Posted in Fort Lauderdale Mortgage, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Rates, Latest Headlines, Miami Heat, NBA, Sports.

MIAMI — Jimmy Butler’s perspective was probably best. He decided the night did not merit his involvement. Such is the value of an NBA exhibition opener. But the Miami Heat’s 113-109 preseason victory Tuesday over the Charlotte Hornets at Kaseya Center did have its moments, including a rousing game-closing rally. “Winning matters, finding a way even when you’re down, it matters,” coach Erik Spoelstra said. There was Heat guard Tyler Herro playing in attack mode, after being attacked on the rumor mill during the offseason, closing with 22 points in 24 minutes. There was veteran point guard...

MIAMI — Four months after their season came to a close in a road loss to the Denver Nuggets in the NBA Finals, the Miami Heat were back on the court Monday at Kaseya Center. Sort of. In what amounted to a close of the team’s training camp, the Heat held their annual Red, White & Pink Game, an intrasquad scrimmage to benefit cancer research. It meant a return of familiar faces, such as Jimmy Butler, Bam Adebayo and Tyler Herro, as well as a variety of newcomers on the 21-player preseason roster that has to be trimmed to no more than 18 by Oct. 23. “It’s going to be a heck of a ride.”...

MIAMI GARDENS — All day Sunday, the Miami Dolphins defense put in its work in the team’s 31-16 victory against the hapless New York Giants. The results were encouraging. They defense recorded a season-best in sacks (seven), a season-best in quarterback hits (14), didn’t allow an offensive touchdown, and held the Giants to 85 yards rushing, the second-best total of the season. The Dolphins defense, which was blamed for a lot of the problems of last year’s 9-8 season and therefore made some major changes in the offseason, turned in a solid game Sunday. “It felt like how it’s supposed to...
