CORAL GABLES — Ryan Bilka came in to relieve Rob Evans, who put two runners on in a 4-4 game after a strong outing. Bilka walked the first batter he faced. Then he struck out Jacob Kendall. He followed that by striking out Kyle Jones. One more out, and he would have escaped the bases-loaded, no-out jam. Bilka induced a fly ball to center field that Mikey Torres tracked down. He celebrated. Then third-base umpire Travis Carlson sent the Hurricanes back to the field. He called a balk on the play. The inning would continue with the Gators up by a run. Miami could not get another run, and...

Observations and other notes of interest from Thursday night’s 124-117 loss to the Philadelphia 76ers: – This was the lesson the Heat will not heed. – Dealing with injuries, the 76ers took a gap year last season. – After winning at least 47 games the previous four seasons, they stepped back to 24-58. – As in 13th in the East. – As in positioned well enough to land the No. 3 pick in the lottery. – As in able to land VJ Edgecombe. – As in the No. 3 rookie scorer. – As in the NBA rookie leader in steals. – Yes, Tyrese Maxey is the engine and Joel Embiid is the size. – But Edgecombe has...

The victories over the New Orleans Pelicans, Atlanta Hawks and Memphis Grizzlies that gave the Heat the three-game winning streak going into the week were window dressing against going-nowhere teams. The last two games, including Thursday night’s 124-117 loss to the Philadelphia 76ers at Xfinity Mobile Arena, were the reality check for Erik Spoelstra’s team. In a game with significant impact in the playoff and play-in races, the Heat stormed back from a 16-point halftime deficit to a third-period lead, only to come up short in the fourth quarter for the second consecutive game, after losing...
