Strahinja Jokić, the older brother of the Denver Nuggets center, will continue his court case on Jan. 6 with a plea and setting hearing for a third-degree assault charge that stemmed from a savage punch against a fan at Ball Arena during a game versus the Los Angeles Lakers in April. The battering left the ...

Jimmy Butler made up for lost time in a dominating effort, and the Heat's defense locked up the 76ers in the second half, en route to victory. On top of that the hosts started a new lineup: Tyler Herro, Duncan Robinson, Butler, Haywood Highsmith and Bam Adebayo. Butler carried the offense in the first quarter ...

The undermanned Heatles were behind the all-game in a failed effort to snatch two straight victories at Gainbridge Fieldhouse. The guests shot poorly in the square, were hurt in the open court and were outrebounded by seven.  In the first quarter, the Heat was late to contest three-point shots and missed its own deep looks, ...

Tight ends have given the Miami Dolphins fits for years. Their own as well as their opponents'. Veteran Jonnu Smith was signed in the offseason to remedy the former problem. Sunday he delivered in a big way with two touchdowns in the Dolphins’ 34-19 win against the Las Vegas Raiders. His 57-yard TD catch when ...

The quest for the Emirates Cup continued in a winning effort for the visitors, 124-111 at Gainbridge Fieldhouse versus the Pacers. Bam Adebayo returned to All-Star form, leading  six other Healtes in double-figure scoring. And the team logged 123.7 points per 100 half-court plays, per Cleaning the Glass. The Heat was down 26-29 at the ...

Despite the Heat’s inconsistent 4-6 start, the team is much better than what it is showing. The latest loss in Detroit for the Emirates Cup match went down to the end of overtime, and uncommonly, coach Erik Spoelstra’s mental lapse- calling a timeout when none were available- sank his team. That night, Tyler Herro became ...

For the first time this season the Miami Dolphins punched above their weight —and won. The gritty 23-15 win against the Los Angeles Rams on Monday Night Football came in the sort of setting where the Dolphins have a habit of losing. On the road, in prime time, against a savvy, veteran quarterback. In Miami’s ...

The Heat went into the Wolves’ den, scraping away with victory. Kevin Love made his season debut with the starting lineup, and Haywood Highsmith was inserted into the group in place of Nikola Jović, who made the game-winning play for the Heat. Jimmy Butler was absent with a right ankle sprain. Anthony Edwards took the ...

The Miami Dolphins made the decision this week to stand pat during Tuesday’s trade deadline, ultimately opting neither to trade for or away impact players. If one were to listen to the team, however, one thing would be clear: This is a roster and a coaching staff that believes they are still competing for a ...

The touring Miami Heat were overmatched by the Denver Nuggets in Jamal Murray’s return, suffering its third straight loss. Nikola Jokić created overreactions for himself and his teammates. Vintage Murray torched the perimeter. And the Nuggets shot 61.7% from the field, including 51.4% from deep. The Nuggets only needed four minutes of action to take ...

The Heat are 3-4 after soiling themselves in Phoenix. Each of the losses was versus a quality opponent, and the wins were against the bottom of the league. The squads that have beat the Heat (Orlando, New York, Sacramento, Phoenix) amass an 18-14 record. The teams the Heat defeated this season (Charlotte, Detroit, Washington) have ...

Best-on-best international hockey is soon to return and one Florida Panther is making his case to be there for it.  Sam Bennett has been an instrumental piece to the Panthers’ success over the past few years -- especially come playoff time. After helping the Panthers win the Stanley Cup last season, the 28-year-old forward is ...

Jimmy Butler, Bam Adebayo and the crew failed to stop the Kings from their second-half flurry. Tyler Herro initiated the offense with 13 first-quarter points. Adebayo finished a lob through the lane and made a putback over Domantas Sabonis. Yet, the squad made the remaining two of 12 shots in the frame and led by ...

The detached view is the Miami Dolphins engaged the Buffalo Bills in just about the most entertaining afternoon of football one could hope to see. Predictably, the Dolphins strung their fans along Sunday long enough to leave them gutted and heartbroken by yet another brutal defeat in the final seconds for the second week in ...

Bam Adebayo snapped out of his early-season funk against the Washington Wizards in Mexico City, leading the team to its third win in five outings. His jumper was falling, and he was dynamite at close range. The rival was 2-2 before that, but it was a tune-up game that he must build on going forward ...

This is, arguably, the Marlins’ most important offseason for the foreseeable future. After an n extremely disappointing season, in which they lost 100 games for the 4th time in their 31 year existence, losing their Manager of the Year, and trading away a ton of major league assets, the Marlins are forced to find a ...
