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...

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) — Lionel Messi and Inter Miami are headed to the CONCACAF Champions Cup semifinals and it took a dramatic three-goal comeback to get there. Messi scored twice, including a penalty kick in the 84th minute, to lift Inter Miami past LAFC 3-1 on Wednesday night — good enough for a 3-2 aggregate win in the two-leg series. The Herons needed three unanswered goals to win the series and ensure that they wouldn’t lose a tiebreaker. And for Messi, the series clincher was reminiscent of how he led Argentina past France in the World Cup final in 2022. He scored two goals in...

Juan Soto’s RBI double leads Mets over Marlins

Written by Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Syndicated User on April 8, 2025. Posted in Fort Lauderdale Mortgage, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Rates, Latest Headlines, Miami Marlins, MLB, Sports.

NEW YORK — Juan Soto hit a go-ahead double in the third inning and Kodai Senga combined with a standout bullpen for New York’s second shutout in four days, a 2-0 win over the Miami Marlins on Monday night that extended the Mets’ winning streak to five. Signed to a record $765 million, 15-year contract in December, Soto drove a cutter to the opposite field in left-center off Valente Bellozo (0-1) to score Francisco Lindor, who singled to start the inning for the second of his three hits. Soto also singled for his first multihit game with the Mets. He has hits in nine of his first 10 games...

Winderman’s view: Yes they beat the 76ers, but the Heat now need to get real

MIAMI — Observations and other notes of interest from Monday night’s 117-105 victory over the Philadelphia 76ers. – So what to make of this? – What, indeed. – Until Andrew Wiggins is on the court with Tyler Herro and Bam Adebayo for an extended period, the possibilities will remain largely unknown. – And at this point, the only way they can be on the court together for a long stretch would be in an extended playoff run. – Which, at this stage, appears highly unlikely. – This time no Wiggins or Adebayo. – So maybe it comes together Wednesday night in Chicago. – Maybe it gets Erik Spoelstra...

Heat push past 76ers in absences of Adebayo, Wiggins 117-105 behind Ware double-double

Written by Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Syndicated User on April 8, 2025. Posted in Fort Lauderdale Mortgage, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Rates, Latest Headlines, Miami Heat, Miami Heat Blog, NBA, Sports.

MIAMI — While you were watching college basketball, the Miami Heat were playing a game Monday night that no one should have had to watch. No Bam Adebayo or Andrew Wiggins for the Heat, no anyone and everyone for the Philadelphia 76ers, with Joel Embiid, Paul George and Tyrese Maxey out of the mix amid yet another tankathon from the City of Brotherly Lottery. Against that backdrop, in arguably the worst of basketball counterprogramming against the NCAA Final Four championship game, the Heat did enough to move forward with a 117-105 victory that made it seven wins in the past nine games for...

Panthers hobble home from Detroit after fifth straight loss

By LARRY LAGE DETROIT (AP) — Alex DeBrincat and J.T. Compher scored in the second period and Cam Talbot finished with 32 saves to help the Detroit Red Wings keep their fading playoff hopes alive with a 2-1 win over the Florida Panthers on Sunday night. The Panthers put their goaltender on the bench to add an extra skater and Anton Lundell scored with 39.9 seconds to pull them within a goal. The defending Stanley Cup champions lost their fifth game in a row and, combined with Ottawa’s win on Sunday, are only two points ahead of the Senators, who are in the first wild-card position. Detroit...

Winderman’s view: After loss to Bucks, Heat mandate simply is to not lose again

MIAMI – Observations and other notes of interest from Saturday night’s 121-115 overtime loss to the Milwaukee Bucks: – For a team that only recently snapped a 10-game losing streak, this might come off as wishful or even hubris. – But the Heat cannot lose another game the balance of their regular season. – Not if they want to make a statement in the play-in round. – Not if they want to maximize their positioning in that round. – Granted, only four regular-season games remain. – But then consider those games. – A 76ers team desperate to lose. – A Bulls team the Heat need to beat for...

Written by Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Syndicated User on April 6, 2025. Posted in Fort Lauderdale Mortgage, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Rates, Latest Headlines, Miami Heat, NBA, Sports.

MIAMI – At a time when more is needed than good job, good effort, that is what the Heat wound up Saturday night for a second consecutive game at Kaseya Center. A game after falling to the Memphis Grizzlies on a Ja Morant buzzer-beating jumper, the Miami Heat this time blew a seven-point lead late in regulation and fell 121-115 in overtime to Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks on Saturday night. Two nights after being locked into the franchise’s first losing record since 2018-19, the Heat could have arrived with heads bowed. Instead, for the third consecutive game Erik Spoelstra’s...
