The Heat survived the 76ers, thanks to its strong bench play, locking up the glass and four players scoring between 18 and 32 digits, closing out their two-game road trip undefeated. They sped away each time their hosts got within striking distance and have now won eight of their last 10.  With Tyler Herro out ...

The main event of the Ring IV: Night of Champions was an execution; a pleasure for the sadists and a painful experience for the squeamish. David Benavidez stopped Anthony Yarde in seven rounds but first left him a bloody mess, retaining his WBC light heavyweight belt and staying undefeated. The outcome was never in doubt, ...

The Heat sacked the United Center in Emirates Cup play, claiming their third road win and their largest margin of victory this season (36).  Andrew Wiggins missed the game (hip flexor), and as a result, Keshad Johnson, the team's 12th man in minutes, got extra time off the bench, and they didn’t suffer for it ...

Will both Florida International and Florida Atlantic finish the 2025 season bowl eligible? The final two weeks of the season will answer this regionally profound question. FBS teams need to win six games (.500 on the season) to be eligible to participate in a bowl game. Both FIU and FAU have spent two decades at ...

The Warriors' visit to Kaseya Center was a tuneup for the Heatles, not having to deal with Stephen Curry, Jimmy Butler and Draymond Green. Even on a night when Norman Powell was dormant until the fourth quarter, it went unlike the loss at home against the Cavaliers, who were down three starters on Nov. 13.  ...

Shortly after defeating Liberty in overtime in his second start as a Panther, Florida International quarterback Joe Pesansky proclaimed to the camera, with his teammates behind him, that he “is in the greatest city in the world.” Pesansky went from being hoisted in the air by his teammates to rejoicing with friends and family to ...

Say this for Mike McDaniel, the Miami Dolphins’ coach isn’t afraid to put his neck on the chopping block. McDaniel’s decision to go for it on fourth-and-goal at the 1 rather than try a short field goal that would have put the Dolphins head by three points with 1:44 left in the fourth quarter Sunday ...

Conor Benn dismantled Chris Eubank Jr. in their rematch from April, splitting the bouts 1-1, and earning the respect of his foe, who called him a “drug cheat.” The latter knew from round one of their middleweight show down that he was mistaken about how the night would unfold, and now questions remain about his ...

Tyler Herro and Bam Adebayo watched in street clothes as the Heat came up short against the Knicks in New York in Emirates Cup group play. The hosts were without Jalen Brunson, but Karl-Anthony Towns got the extra touches, rampaging for a half, until Landry Shamet, of all people, clobbered coverages. Towns fried schemes in ...

The Heat were upset by the Cavaliers on Vice Night because they ran out of gas in the fourth quarter, couldn’t guard without fouling, and were careless with the ball, turning it over 21 times. The visitors, minus three starters (Darius Garland, Donovan Mitchell and Evan Mobley), deployed their eighth starting lineup in 12 games, ...

Cleveland coach Kenny Atkinson said before the match that it wasn’t the same team his Cavaliers wiped out by a combined 122 points through four playoff games, and the Heatles proved his point by pantsing them minus their two All-Stars (Bam Adebayo and Tyler Herro). Miami’s streak at home extended to 5-0 Cleveland boat raced ...

Quarterbacks transferring from one school to the next have become quite common in today’s college football. Transferring with your receiver, however, is the unique circumstance that is finally paying off for Florida Atlantic. After three seasons at Western Kentucky, redshirt junior quarterback Caden Veltkamp arrived in Boca Raton along with receiver Easton Messer intending to ...

Well, well, well. The Miami Dolphins’ 30-13 upset of Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills on Sunday at Hard Rock Stadium was like looking out and spotting a chartreuse unicorn in your backyard. Seeing Allen frustrated by the Dolphins is something rarely if ever seen before. They went toe-to-toe with their long-time nemesis and prevailed, ...

It only took two rounds for Vergil Ortiz Jr.’s pressure and explosive power to wound Erickson Lubin badly enough for the referee to jump in between them. It was supposed to be a bout that challenged Ortiz, but he made it look as easy as a stroll through the park on Golden Boy’s fight card ...

Despite 19 lead changes and 11 ties, the undermanned Heat took out the Trail Blazers on the second night of a back-to-back, improving to 6-4. Seven Heatles scored in double figures, and Nikola Jović had his best showing in a Heat uniform, setting a new career high of 29 points. Coach Erik Spoelstra elaborated on ...

The undermanned Heat’s 3-point shooting went cold after a team record 53-point first quarter, and Jaime Jaquez Jr. plus Simone Fontecchio had to bail them out against the Hornets in their first Emirates Cup game of the year. The defensive communication at first was abysmal without Bam Adebayo as they lost track of drive-bys, 3-pointers, ...
