Winderman’s view: Heat’s Spoelstra not concerned about standings shenanigans, just wins like Sunday

WASHINGTON — Observations and other notes of interest from Sunday’s 132-101 victory over the Washington Wizards: – For Heat coach Erik Spoelstra, the moment at hand is one positioned between indifference and desperation. – Sunday, he found his team facing a Washington team prioritizing lottery seeding to the degree that no one is quite sure when recent trade additions Trae Young and Anthony Davis will make their Wizards debut. – That included the Wizards coming off a Saturday loss in Brooklyn, when just about anybody and everybody of note was held out in a loss to the Nets. – Then,...

BOSTON (AP) — Malik Reneau had 23 points, Shelton Henderson and Tre Donaldson scored big buckets down the stretch, and Miami defeated Boston College 74-68 on Saturday.

GAINESVILLE — Overlooking the white-sand beaches on the Florida Panhandle, Jon Sumrall and Buster Faulkner first hatched their plan to resurrect the Gators. Two men who rose through the coaching ranks on opposite sides of the football had neighboring houses. Their families vacationed at the same time. Dreams of joining forces were discussed during these annual getaways off State Road 30A. “My first couple of conversations with Buster about maybe being on my staff happened before I was the head coach at Florida,” Sumrall said. “It was like, ‘Hey, if one of these happens one day, what do you...

Florida residents file petition asking court to stop DeSantis’ redistricting effort

Written by Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Syndicated User on February 6, 2026. Posted in Fort Lauderdale Mortgage, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Rates, Latest Headlines, News, Politics, Social.

TALLAHASSEE – Lawyers for residents in Broward and Miami-Dade counties have filed a petition challenging Gov. Ron DeSantis’ call for a special session where lawmakers would redraw congressional boundaries mid-decade instead of every 10 years. After months of trying to convince the Legislature to take up redistricting on its own, DeSantis on Jan. 7 called a special five-day session in April for the “purpose of considering legislation relating to the drawing of congressional districts for the State of Florida.” The same day, Secretary of State Cord Byrd, a DeSantis appointee, sent a letter to...

Heat regain their footing against Bulls, power to 134-91 rout as Mitchell returns

Written by Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Syndicated User on February 2, 2026. Posted in Fort Lauderdale Mortgage, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Rates, Latest Headlines, Miami Heat, NBA, Sports.

MIAMI – Perhaps it was the return of Davion Mitchell. Perhaps it was the humiliation of falling 18 hours earlier to a team that scheduled it as a day of rest. Or perhaps there is rekindled hope of the move into February leading to a move out of nearly permanent residence in the play-in bracket. Looking far more cohesive and connected than in either of the previous two games in this unusual three-game head-to-head series, the Miami Heat made quick work of the Chicago Bulls on Sunday night at Kaseya Center in a 134-91 victory, tying for the third-most-lopsided victory in the Heat’s 38...

Winderman’s view: Pelle Larsson again makes himself noticed against Bulls

Written by Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Syndicated User on February 2, 2026. Posted in Fort Lauderdale Mortgage, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Rates, Latest Headlines, Miami Heat, Miami Heat Blog, NBA, Sports.

MIAMI — Observations and other notes of interest from Sunday night’s 134-91 victory over the Chicago Bulls: – So Pelle Larsson for Giannis Antetokounmpo straight up? – Of course not. – Because the Heat also would have to add salary to make the trade work. – Not, not a suggestion of Larsson as any sort of make-or-break addition to a potential Heat bid for Giannis. – But when considering the Heat’s young players, including the travails of Kel’el Ware, the real story might be what the Heat have made out of Larsson. – At this point, too efficient and effective to seemingly be moved out of the...

CORAL GABLES, Fla. (AP) — John Camden scored a season-high 26 points and little-used Dhiaukuei Manyiel Dut had a critical block and followed that with his only basket of the game to send California to an 86-85 win over Miami on Saturday.

Written by Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Syndicated User on January 31, 2026. Posted in Fort Lauderdale Mortgage, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Rates, Latest Headlines, Miami Dolphins, NFL, Sports.

The Miami Dolphins agreed to terms with two more assistant coaches to join Jeff Hafley’s staff Friday night, and one of them is coming back to Miami after a short stint with the Dolphins four years ago. The team is bringing back former offensive line coach Matt Applebaum as assistant offensive line coach and bringing in Chuka Ndulue as assistant defensive line coach, according to a league source. Applebaum, 42, was with the Dolphins’ staff in 2022, former coach Mike McDaniel’s first season at the helm, but he was relieved of the duty after the lone year with the team. The connection with...

A Leon County circuit judge Thursday ruled that the Florida Division of Elections is required to update its website to reflect the number of valid petition signatures for a proposed recreational-marijuana constitutional amendment. Judge Jonathan Sjostrom backed arguments by the Smart & Safe Florida political committee, which faces a Sunday deadline for submitting enough valid signatures to put the proposed amendment on the November ballot. The committee filed a lawsuit this month alleging that the Division of Elections was not complying with a requirement to post weekly totals of valid...

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — Olympic gold metalist Sha’Carri Richardson was arrested and charged with speeding in Florida on Thursday, according to law enforcement. Richardson was arrested for allegedly going 104 mph (167 kph) on a parkway just outside of Orlando, Florida. A spokesperson for the Orange County sheriff’s department said she was “dangerously tailgating and traveling across lanes of travel to pass other motorists.” The 25-year-old sprinter is one of the fastest women of all time, winning a silver metal in the 100 meter dash in the 2024 Paris Summer Olympics, and gold in the 4×100...
