A month later, it was an NBA Finals rematch of the Miami Heat vs. the Denver Nuggets on Friday night. In a far, far, far different setting.

Playing in the absences of Nikola Jovic, Orlando Robinson, Jaime Jaquez Jr., Dru Smith and Drew Peterson, the Heat looked like a team poised to leave Las Vegas, falling behind by 40 at one point on the way to a 112-81 loss to the Nuggets’ summer roster.

Some residents of the city...

Inter Miami held two separate leads in the second half, but failed to hold onto each of them. Midfielder Benjamin Cremaschi and defender Noah Allen each scored their first career MLS goals to account for Inter Miami’s scoring, but each was answered with a quick D.C. United...

The decision comes on the eve of the NATO summit in Lithuania, where Biden is likely to face questions from allies on why the U.S. would send a weapon into Ukraine that more than two-thirds of alliance members have banned because it has a track record for...
