The five-game losing streak ended in Cleveland in game one of the miniseries.

The WBC’s middleweight belt didn’t change hands. Carlos Adames’ trunks had “destroy” and "demolish” written on the front plus backside, and he lived up to that, being too strong for his challenger, who looked like he’d gone through oblivion inside Caribe Royale in Orlando, Florida.  The strongest Austin “Ammo” Williams looked was in the first ...

The Heat didn’t have enough horsepower to hang with Luka Dončić and LeBron James despite the close result.

Fortunes can change for a team at the turn of a page. The Heat are on a five-game winning streak and have matched their best mark from the season being seven over .500.
