ORLANDO – This time the Miami Heat turned the tables five days after blowing a 25-point lead in this building five nights earlier. In dramatic fashion, no less. Battling back from a 17-point deficit Thursday night at Kia Center, Erik Spoelstra’s team found a way in the absence of Jimmy Butler, winning on a Tyler Herro 19-foot jumper that closed the scoring with five-tenths of a second to play. Heat 89, Magic 88 – with the game ending with Magic guard Jalen Suggs off with a 3-pointer just before the closing buzzer. It was a rugged, gritty, at times painful experience, as Spoelstra had...

Written by Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Syndicated User on December 24, 2024. Posted in Fort Lauderdale Mortgage, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Rates, Latest Headlines, Miami Heat, NBA, Sports.

MIAMI – The Miami Heat already were at an emotional loss watching Dru Smith being escorted off the court in the second period with a leg injury. For a while, they also seemed at a loss against a team trying to lose. Eventually, if not emotionally, order was restored enough for Erik Spoelstra’s team to snap a three-game losing streak with Monday night’s 110-95 victory over the Brooklyn Nets at Kaseya Center. With Jimmy Butler sidelined for a second consecutive game due to a stomach illness, and with Terry Rozier sidelined by knee pain, the Heat were forced into a rotation shakeup even before...

MIAMI GARDENS — The Miami Dolphins had a chance to erase the bitter taste of last week’s Houston loss out of their mouths with Sunday’s game against San Francisco at Hard Rock Stadium.

MIAMI GARDENS — Look, up in the sky. It’s not a bird. It’s a plane with a Fire-Chris-Grier banner flying around Hard Rock Stadium early Sunday afternoon, according to social media. It’s also — oh, not this — the pie-in-the-sky playoff possibilities floating around for the Dolphins. We’re not going to do this again, are we? Can’t we just say they played hard in beating San Francisco, 29-17, and leave it at that? Sure, if the Dolphins win in their final two games, and Denver loses its final two, and Indianapolis loses one, and a partridge in a pear tree … Come on. Let’s not muddle the...
