Thursday night’s Heat-Bulls postponed due to unplayable slick court at United Center

Written by Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Syndicated User on January 9, 2026. Posted in Fort Lauderdale Mortgage, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Rates, Latest Headlines, Miami Heat, NBA, Sports.

CHICAGO – Thursday night’s game between the Miami Heat and Chicago Bulls was postponed nearly two hours after the scheduled tipoff, after an extended delay due to 50-degree temperatures, heavy rain and the ice below the court at the United Center that left the playing surface too slick for play. A makeup date was not immediately announced. This was to be the Heat’s final visit of the season. The game, scheduled for an 8 p.m. Eastern start, featured the typical pregame warmup scheduling. But as players went through warmups, several players identified slick spots due to condensation. A...

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. (AP) — Tre Donaldson scored 21 points, and Malik Reneau added 18 as Miami survived a late-game surge to beat Wake Forest 81-77 on Wednesday. Donaldson shot 7 of 10 from the field, dished out six assists, and went 6 of 6 at the free-throw line, including two free throws with nine seconds left to seal the win for the Hurricanes (13-2, 2-0 Atlantic Coast Conference). Reneau added six rebounds and made the tying free throw with 45 seconds remaining after Wake Forest briefly took the lead. Miami led 39-38 at halftime but could never pull away in a second half that featured...

Dolphins have four finalists for GM search as team moves quickly through interviews

Written by Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Syndicated User on January 8, 2026. Posted in Fort Lauderdale Mortgage, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Rates, Latest Headlines, Miami Dolphins, NFL, Sports.

The Miami Dolphins’ general manager search that started Monday is already down to four finalists as of Wednesday night. The Dolphins will have interim GM Champ Kelly, the Los Angeles Chargers’ Chad Alexander, the Green Bay Packers’ Jon-Eric Sullivan and San Francisco 49ers’ Josh Williams move on to in-person interviews this week. That eliminates four other candidates who were interviewed remotely early this week: the 49ers’ Tariq Ahmad and RJ Gillen, the Philadelphia Eagles Alec Halaby and Los Angeles Rams’ John McKay. Miami is clearly prioritizing a pair of qualities: executives coming...

Todd Golden’s Gators rout No. 18 Georgia to avoid 0-2 SEC start

Written by Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Syndicated User on January 7, 2026. Posted in College Sports, Florida Gators, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Rates, Latest Headlines, Sports.

GAINESVILLE — Coach Todd Golden’s suddenly unranked Gators were desperate for a win. Avoiding a loss to former coach Mike White’s No. 18 Georgia Bulldogs was critical for a Florida team riding a 13-game winning streak at the O’Connell Center and 0-1 in SEC play. The Gators found their offensive flow and applied the defensive clamps against the high-scoring Bulldogs during a convincing and pivotal 92-77 win Tuesday night at the O’Connell Center. “Tonight was a game that we needed,” Golden said. Florida (10-5, 1-1 SEC) was coming off an SEC-opening loss at Missouri and with more losses than...

UCF expected to hire Oklahoma State assistant as tight ends coach

Written by Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Syndicated User on January 7, 2026. Posted in College Sports, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Rates, Latest Headlines, Sports, UCF Knights.

UCF is expected to hire former Oklahoma State coach Cooper Bassett as the Knights’ new tight ends coach. CBS Sports’ Matt Zenitz was the first to report the move, which was later confirmed by a team source. Bassett, 35, takes over coaching the tight ends from Steve Cooper, who is the team’s offensive coordinator. The move most likely frees up Cooper to spend more time with the offense as a whole. The Oklahoma native joins AJ Blazek (offensive line) and Will Johnson (defensive back) as new coaches joining Scott Frost’s staff heading into Year 2. Bassett was a four-year letterwinner as a...

New UCF transfer Kahmel Johnson excited about playing closer to home

Written by Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Syndicated User on January 6, 2026. Posted in College Sports, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Rates, Latest Headlines, Sports, UCF Knights.

Nobody was likely happier about Kahmel Johnson’s recent commitment to UCF than his mother, Jesika. “My momma was going crazy. She was crying and [was emotional],” Johnson shared with the Sentinel on Sunday, just hours after he signed with the Knights from the transfer portal. It’s a homecoming, of sorts, for the 6-foot-2, 200-pound defensive back, who hails from Jacksonville, where he excelled at football and track and field at Riverside High School before leaving the state to play at Wayne State College, a Division II school in Nebraska. Johnson is coming off a breakout season with the...

Will Miami Hurricanes be down three defensive starters vs. Ole Miss?

Written by Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Syndicated User on January 6, 2026. Posted in College Sports, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Rates, Latest Headlines, Miami Hurricanes, Sports.

PHOENIX — The Miami Hurricanes are going up against a top-10 offense in Ole Miss in the College Football Playoff semifinal, but luckily for UM, some key players may be able to bounce back from injury in time for the game. Miami listed cornerback OJ Frederique Jr. as probable and cornerback Damari Brown and defensive lineman Ahmad Moten Sr. as questionable on Monday evening’s initial availability report for the Fiesta Bowl. All three have been important parts of the defense this season. UM coach Mario Cristobal said Saturday that all three players were “progressing at a pretty good rate.”...

Final week of regular season does Dolphins no favors in regards to NFL draft

Written by Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Syndicated User on January 5, 2026. Posted in Fort Lauderdale Mortgage, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Rates, Latest Headlines, Miami Dolphins, NFL, Sports.

The games of the final week of the regular season were not kind to the Miami Dolphins in terms of positioning for the first round of the NFL draft in April. Miami entered Sunday with the No. 11 pick, with a chance to move up, at most, to No. 8 with a loss to the New England Patriots and other results going its way. In the opening slate of NFL games Sunday, the Cincinnati Bengals lost to the Cleveland Browns and the New Orleans Saints lost to the Atlanta Falcons. That meant the Dolphins could no longer move ahead of the Bengals and Saints with a loss to the Patriots. The highest Miami could...

Heat bounce back behind Powell’s 34 with 125-106 rout of Pelicans

Written by Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Syndicated User on January 5, 2026. Posted in Fort Lauderdale Mortgage, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Rates, Latest Headlines, Miami Heat, NBA, Sports.

MIAMI — Having previously lost to the second to the second-worst team in the Western Conference, the Miami Heat made sure there was no misstep Sunday night at Kaseya Center against the West’s worst. More to the point, Norman Powell made sure. So, no, no repeat of the home humiliation against the Sacramento Kings, instead a 125-106 victory over the New Orleans Pelicans that made it five victories in the last six for Erik Spoelstra’s team. “We definitely had to come out and set the tone,” Powell said. With Powell converting 9 of 12 3-point attempts on a 34-point night, the Heat improved to...
