Winderman’s view: Heat in two nights go from infuriating to inspiring

MIAMI — Observations and other notes of interest from Sunday night’s 121-84 victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers: – This is how the Heat can be both inspiring and infuriating at the same time. – Inspiring because of the bounceback after Friday night’s no-show against the Pelicans. – Infuriating because of losses like that game against New Orleans, when it seemed as if they simply could not be bothered. – A little more of what the Heat offered Sunday, and a little less of what was on display on Friday night, and there wouldn’t be this desperate scramble in the play-in bracket. – No excuses this...

UCF softball shut out in series opener against No. 2 Texas

UCF softball coach Cindy Ball-Malone didn’t mince words with her team entering this season. The Knights were coming off an American Athletic Conference championship (2022) and three straight postseason appearances, including an NCAA Super Regional in 2022. But heading to the Big 12, Ball-Malone knew things would be different, especially playing in one of the toughest conferences in the country. “Last year we played well enough to win every game,” said Ball-Malone. “We told them [the players] as a coaching staff that it’s not good enough just to be good and have good people. You have to be good...

MIAMI – Observations and other notes of interest from Friday night’s 111-88 loss to the New Orleans Pelicans: – Considering the way the Heat shot 3-pointers in this one — or more to the point did not — the biggest news of the night came arguably before the game, with Heat guard Duncan Robinson expressing optimism about a rapid return, even as he missed his second game with a back issue diagnosed as left facet syndrome. – “Thankful that it’s not too serious,” Robinson said pregame. “A big thing is making sure that just kind of calm it down.
