Barkov suffered an upper-body injury earlier this month, which kept him out of a pair of games. He returned before the regular season ended. Forward Sam Bennett offered an encouraging thought after the game. “It’s tough to...

CLEVELAND – For weeks, as their play-in fate became as much of a reality as that of the Cavaliers being the No. 1 seed in the Eastern Conference, all the Miami Heat wanted was an opportunity to get to Cleveland. Now the question is whether they can get back. Far more competitive than in Sunday night’s opener of this best-of-seven Eastern Conference opening-round series, the Heat this time fought to the finish in a 121-112 loss Wednesday night to the Cavaliers at Rocket Arena. Still, the Heat only make it back to the shores of Lake Erie for a Game 5 next Wednesday if they win one of the next...
