CORAL GABLES — The Hurricanes closed out spring camp on Saturday with their annual spring game at the on-campus Cobb Stadium on Saturday. The defense got the better of the offense, edging their teammates 25-20. “We feel really good about our spring,” Miami coach Mario Cristobal said. “We really do. We play football and we practice football, and we’re in pads, and the guys did a very good job attacking a very demanding regimen.” The defense got a key stop early in the spring game, stopping four consecutive goal-line runs. “As an offensive lineman, what do you think I’m going to say (about...

MIAMI (AP) — Nathaniel Lowe hit a bases-clearing, go-ahead double in the eighth inning, James Wood added a 400-foot homer in the ninth and the Washington Nationals scored seven unanswered runs in a 7-4 victory over the Miami Marlins on Friday night. The Nationals trailed for the first five innings before scoring seven straight, including three in the eighth and two in the ninth. Lowe’s hit down the left-field line — that was barely fair — came on the 10th pitch he saw from Anthony Bender, giving the Nationals their first lead at 5-4. Wood’s homer was his fifth of the season, with 11 RBIs....

Winderman’s view: Heat need more than this Wiggins for postseason success

Written by Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Syndicated User on April 12, 2025. Posted in Fort Lauderdale Mortgage, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Rates, Latest Headlines, Miami Heat, Miami Heat Blog, NBA, Sports.

NEW ORLEANS — Observations and other notes of interest from Friday night’s 153-104 victory over the New Orleans Pelicans: – If the reason for going with the regulars Friday night was one last-ditch attempt at continuity, then when it comes to Andrew Wiggins, that remains an abstract. – Back for a second game after missing six with a hamstring issue, Wiggins hardly looked playoff-ready. – Again as little more than an ancillary element of the rotation. – As he was in Wednesday night’s loss in Chicago. – Hamstrings certainly can be tricky. – And it’s not as if Wiggins didn’t leave Wednesday...

Heat highest-scoring win ever does nothing to prevent No. 10 fate; will open play-in Wednesday in Chicago

Written by Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Syndicated User on April 12, 2025. Posted in Fort Lauderdale Mortgage, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Rates, Latest Headlines, Miami Heat, NBA, Sports.

NEW ORLEANS – The reality of a regular season that soured months ago hit home Friday night for the Miami Heat: They’ No. 10. Despite a 153-104 victory Friday night over the injury-ravaged New Orleans Pelicans at Smoothie King Center – the highest-scoring game in the franchise’s 37 seasons – the Heat were locked into the No. 10 and final Eastern Conference play-in seed when the Atlanta Hawks and Chicago Bulls, like the Heat, won their Friday night games over equally disinterested, lottery-bound opponents. That means the path to a sixth-consecutive playoff berth is set for Erik Spoelstra’s...

Judicial watchdog recommends suspension for Broward Judge Gary Farmer

Written by Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Syndicated User on April 11, 2025. Posted in Crime and Public Safety, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Rates, Latest Headlines, News.

The state’s judicial ethics watchdog on Thursday called for the immediate suspension without pay of Broward Circuit Court Judge Gary Farmer, a former minority leader in the Florida Senate who was ousted from his leadership role by his own colleagues. Farmer was elected to the bench in 2022, a year after he was forced out of a leadership position by his fellow senate Democrats. But his propensity for speaking his mind as an elected representative followed him into the courtroom, bulldozing over the rules governing the public conduct of judges. He told one defendant to wear a condom while on...

Winderman’s view: Bulls played like Wednesday meant something; Heat just played

CHICAGO — Observations and other notes of interest from Wednesday night’s 119-111 loss to the Chicago Bulls: – First the perspective: All that was at stake in this one was the presumptive right to host a play-in game. – And even then, it was the right to host a play-in game that doesn’t even assure a playoff berth, but rather just the right to go on the road for another play-in game. – So, sort of like playing for a playoff booby prize. – But a prize nonetheless. – But it still beat the alternative. – With a loss meaning only road games in the play-in round. – A reality the Heat now face,...

Heat fall closer to play-in the hard way, stumble 119-111 in Chicago to fall behind Bulls

Written by Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Syndicated User on April 10, 2025. Posted in Fort Lauderdale Mortgage, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Rates, Latest Headlines, Miami Heat, NBA, Sports.

CHICAGO – For their efforts Wednesday night at the United Center, the Miami Heat earned a likely return trip next Wednesday to the United Center. No, it was not the outcome sought or desired, but one likely assured after Wednesday night’s 119-111 loss to the Chicago Bulls. So play-in the hard way it will be for Erik Spoelstra’s team. With the result making the Heat’s final two regular-season games all but moot, it appears 10th place in Eastern Conference it will be for a Heat team 20 months removed from the 2023 NBA Finals. Presented the opportunity to move up in the play-in seedings and...
