CHARLOTTE — Observations and other notes of interest from Saturday night’s 114-106 victory over the Charlotte Hornets: – Forget the slop that came early and often. – Forget even the fact that this at times was far tougher than it should have been. – Against an opponent that was shorthanded. – And playing on the second night of a back-to-back. – Instead, consider what happened in the second period with Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo. – After both were held scoreless in the opening period, it was apparent that enough was enough with each. – Butler went into attack mode, sparking the Heat, with...

The blast about 4:30 p.m. at the marina at 4470 Ravenswood Road was powerful enough for it to be heard at the Rustic Inn Crabhouse that is diagonally across a canal from the marina, Battalion Chief Michael Kane said. The boat, which was delivered to the marina earlier Friday, was being prepared for an upcoming boat show and was fixed on a trailer while being fueled when a “large, intense blast” erupted,...

MIAMI – Observations and other notes of interest from Wednesday night’s 116-97 loss to the Orlando Magic: – Forget all the bells and whistles. – The preseason talk of pace and space and 3-pointers. – For the Miami Heat to be the best version of the Miami Heat, it has to start with Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo. – That made this one particularly disconcerting. – For much of the night, it was as if they weren’t there. – At halftime the two were a combined 1 of 10 from the field. – With Tyler Herro the Heat’s best player to that point. – Nikola Jovic, at least on offense, second best. – With...

Heat celebrate Pat Riley then crumble in 116-97 season-opening loss to Magic

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

MIAMI — On a night the Miami Heat honored Pat Riley for getting it right, Erik Spoelstra’s team offered a tutorial on getting it wrong. Thus an odd night of juxtaposition, with Riley feted at halftime in a ceremony naming the court at Kaseya Center in his honor, and the Heat then going from bad to worse in a 116-97 loss to the Orlando Magic. “We played bad,” center Bam Adebayo said. “That’s as simple as I can make it. It’s embarrassing especially on a night like this for the Godfather Riley.” Having entered with a goal of outpacing and outshooting the opposition, the Heat achieved...

Written by Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Syndicated User on October 24, 2024. Posted in Fort Lauderdale Mortgage, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Rates, Latest Headlines, Miami Dolphins, NFL, Sports.

Here’s a look at how the Miami Dolphins (2-4) and Arizona Cardinals (3-4) match up in six key areas ahead of Sunday’s Week 8 game at Hard Rock Stadium (1 p.m., FOX): When the Dolphins run: With the return of quarterback Tua Tagovailoa expected Sunday, don’t expect Miami to continue running the football 40-plus times, as the team has the past two games. But it would be wise for coach Mike McDaniel to continue to utilize what has worked well on the ground, especially as Tagovailoa may still be a little rusty in his first game back. The question is if physical rookie running back Jaylen Wright...
