FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) — Lionel Messi raised the Golden Boot. He then got Inter Miami started with his head.
Messi opened the scoring with a diving header in the first half, then capped the scoring in the 96th minute as Inter Miami opened the Major League Soccer playoffs with a 3-1 win over Nashville SC in Game 1 of their Eastern Conference best-of-three first-round series on Friday night.
Messi and Ian Fray had the assists on Tadeo Allende’s second-half tally for Inter Miami, which now gets two chances to advance out of the first round for the first time in Messi’s 2...
Winderman’s view: Heat go big, but also learn big things about rotation in rout of Grizzlies
MEMPHIS – Observations and other notes of interest from Friday night’s 146-114 victory over the Memphis Grizzlies:
– This wasn’t as much about a really big thing as it appeared at the outset.
– Yes, Kel’el Ware was in the starting lineup alongside Bam Adebayo.
– And, yes, that had Nikola Jovic playing off the bench.
– But what it did was balance the rotation.
– Davion Mitchell has proven a capable playmaker with the first unit.
– But Dru Smith isn’t that with the second unit.
– This way, Jovic gets to orchestrate, without also having to be deferential to Adebayo.
– Remember, this all will...
Heat off to the races in high-octane 146-114 domination of Grizzlies
MEMPHIS – The expiration date of Miami Heat plans to play at pace typically is somewhere along the lines of the first week of the season.
Bully Ball-or-bust has been the touchstone for so long, anything else seems out of character.
And then came Friday night and Erik Spoelstra’s team was nothing short of a perpetual motion machine in what evolved into a resounding 146-114 victory over the Memphis Grizzlies at FedExForum, the third-highest-scoring game in the franchise’s 38 seasons.
There were 44 points in the first quarter.
Then 86 at halftime.
This wasn’t just shots falling at high clip,...
Sidney Crosby’s two goals, assist lead Penguins to 5-3 win over Panthers
SUNRISE, Fla. (AP) — Sidney Crosby had two goals and an assist for his fourth multipoint game of the season, Erik Karlsson added two assists and the Pittsburgh Penguins topped the Florida Panthers 5-3 on Thursday night for their fourth consecutive win.
Crosby now has five goals in a four-game goal-scoring streak, his longest since a four-game stretch late in the 2021-22 season. Ben Kindel, Rickard Rakell and Connor Dewar also had goals for the Penguins, who improved to 6-2-0 and are off to their best start since 2019-20.
Brad Marchand had two goals and Sam Reinhart also scored for...
Winderman’s view: Ware (solely) as an Adebayo understudy it is for Heat in opening loss
ORLANDO — Observations and other notes of interest from Wednesday night’s 125-121 loss to the Orlando Magic:
– The previous math, the one we mostly saw in the preseason, appears to be back.
– Even after a statistically dominant preseason by Kel’el Ware.
– Even after coach Erik Spoelstra stressed how willing a pupil Ware has been.
– In Wednesday night’s first half, either Bam Adebayo or Ware.
– But neither together, with Adebayo playing 16 minutes over the first two quarters, Ware the other eight.
– And so it went through the Heat’s high-energy opener.
– Playing out the same way in the...
Heat come up short 125-121 to Magic in opener, despite Powell’s 28
ORLANDO – At the start, it was off to the races, 77 total points in the first quarter, 134 in the first half.
In no way did this resemble anything even close to Miami Heat vs. Orlando Magic.
And then Wednesday night’s season opener at Kia Center turned into something more along the lines of they are what they thought they are.
With less sizzle with the shooting and more determination by the defense, the Magic outlasted the Heat 125-121, with their offensive rebounding proving to be the difference, just as it was in the Heat’s two preseason losses to Orlando.
That’s not to say it wasn’t the...

By JIMMY GOLEN
BOSTON — Brad Marchand had two assists in his emotional return to Boston, and Carter Verhaeghe scored the winner with 27 seconds left to help the Florida Panthers beat the Bruins 4-3 on Tuesday night.
Boston rallied to tie it after trailing 2-0 lead in the third period, then Marchand skated through the neutral zone and flipped the puck ahead to Eetu Luostarinen as he burst ahead of the last defender and beat Jeremy Swayman to make it 3-2 with 10 minutes to play.
With the Boston net empty, Morgan Geekie made it 3-3 with 1:31 left. But Verhaeghe broke the tie with 27 seconds to...
