MIAMI – A year after falling one Jimmy Butler 3-point attempt short of defeating the Boston Celtics for a berth in the 2022 NBA Finals, the Miami Heat will get another shot.
With the Celtics defeating the visiting Philadelphia 76ers 112-88 in Game 7 of that Eastern Conference semifinal series Sunday, the Heat will meet the Celtics in the Eastern Conference finals for the third time in the last four seasons.
For the first time in the three matchups, the Celtics will have homecourt advantage in the best-of-seven series played on a 2-2-1-1-1 basis that opens Wednesday at 8:30 p.m. at TD Garden.

FORT LAUDERDALE — David Ruiz had a goal and an assist on Josef Martínez’s go-ahead score before picking up a red card to help Inter Miami hold off the Eastern Conference-leading New England Revolution 2-1 on Saturday night.
Ruiz staked Inter Miami (5-6-0) to an early lead when he took a pass from Leonardo Campana and scored in the 6th minute. It was the first career goal for the 19-year-old rookie midfielder.
New England (7-2-3) thought it had scored the equalizer on a goal by 18-year-old midfielder Noel Buck in the 17th minute but it was disallowed because of an offside foul. Instead, the Revolution...
A day after adding Alabama transfer Tyler Harrell, the Hurricanes picked up two more commitments on Saturday.
First, defensive lineman transfer Anthony Campbell picked Miami. Later in the evening, junior college wide receiver Shemar Kirk committed to the Hurricanes. Both announced their commitments on social media.

EL PASO, Texas (AP) — The border between the U.S. and Mexico was relatively calm Friday, offering few signs of the chaos that was feared following a rush by worried migrants to enter the U.S. before the end of pandemic-related immigration restrictions.
Less than 24 hours after the rules known as Title 42 were lifted, migrants and government officials were still assessing the effect of the change and the new regulations adopted by President Joe Biden’s administration to stabilize the region.
“We did not see any substantial...

Hours after receiving a commitment from UMKC 4-star transfer Shemarri Allen, UCF men’s basketball landed a pledge from a second top prospect out of the portal Thursday night.
Wichita State guard Jaykwon Walton announced his intentions to join Johnny Dawkins and the Knights for their inaugural season in the Big 12 Conference.
A 4-star transfer on 247Sports.com, Walton ranked as the nation’s No. 91 overall prospect in the portal, according to the recruiting website.
The move, however, comes with controversy.
Walton, who averaged a career-high 13.9 points as the Shockers’ leading scorer last season,...
The Miami Dolphins will have a major national — and even international — spotlight on them in the 2023 season.
After the Wednesday leak of the Dolphins being part of the NFL’s first Black Friday game, at the New York Jets, and visiting Frankfurt, Germany for their tilt with the Kansas City Chiefs, Miami received three more national standalone games upon the full release of the league schedule Thursday night for a total of five such contests.
The Dolphins visit the New England Patriots in Week 2 on Sept. 17 and get the Eagles in Philadelphia in Week 7, Oct. 22, for a pair of prime-time “Sunday...
