Ultimately, Heat didn’t fall for flop rule

   A funny thing happened to the Miami Heat amid this season’s NBA crackdown on flopping: nothing.    A team with limited shot-blocking that relies on defensive positioning and taking charges was not cited for any of the 24 infractions recorded by the league. Not Udonis Haslem, who absorbed a team-high 28 charges. Not Shane [...]

Heat fall 104-97 in Utah, with Wade, Bosh benched in fourth quarter

SALT LAKE CITY—    In the end, LeBron James stood alone.    And it wasn’t enough.    With both a dramatic and curious finish, the Miami Heat fell 104-97 Monday night to the Utah Jazz at EnergySolutions Arena.    The drama came with a comeback that trimmed a 21-point deficit to two.    The curious [...]

Bulls bullish on boards, as Heat fall 96-89

MIAMI—    During the third quarter of Friday night’s 96-89 loss to the Chicago Bulls at AmericanAirlines Arena, the Miami Heat presented a video commemoration of Rony Seikaly’s franchise-record 34 rebounds on March 3, 1993 against Washington.    Awkward.    Especially on a night the Heat couldn’t reach that total as a team.    “There’s [...]

Closing confusion: Heat fall 97-95 to Warriors despite James’ 31

MIAMI—    Draymond Green?    Yes, Draymond Green.    On a night LeBron James tried to will the Miami Heat to victory, a night when Klay Thompson loaded up on 3-pointers early for the upstart Golden State Warriors, it was a layup by a rookie forward from Michigan State that ultimately made the difference at [...]

Lethargic Heat fall 105-101 to Wizards

WASHINGTON— The pattern has been all too familiar for the Miami Heat. They sleepwalk through the first three quarters only to resemble the defending NBA champions in the fourth. And Tuesday was no different. Only this time Ray Allen or LeBron James wasn’t there to bail them out. The Heat were unable to shake off [...]

Heat fall flat, as Knicks get emotional post-Sandy win

NEW YORK—    It was a game guard Dwyane Wade didn’t think should be played, one coach Erik Spoelstra wasn’t sure was going to be played, and one that the Miami Heat ultimately didn’t show up to play.    Set against a backdrop of a city and region in both ruins and recovery from the [...]

Heat trim roster, fall in preseason finale

MIAMI—   The top of the Miami Heat’s rotation no longer is an issue, with Dwyane Wade, LeBron James, Chris Bosh, Shane Battier and Mario Chalmers playing as a starting unit for the second consecutive game in Friday night’s 96-89 exhibition loss to the New Orleans Hornets at AmericanAirlines Arena.    Both Bosh and James [...]

Heat ragged in China departure, fall to Clippers

  The Miami Heat were scheduled to depart China on Sunday evening.   They appeared to check out early. Dwyane Wade, in fact, did.   After a week in China with their body clocks turned upside down, the Heat were unable to match the effort they produced in the first of the two China exhibitions [...]

Heat fall to Golden State 65-62 in summer league

LAS VEGAS— The poor shooting would bother Terrel Harris if the circumstances were different. In his case, scoring is secondary. Although Harris has shot just 12 of 34 from the field through three summer-league games, he knows the way to earning a roster spot with the Miami Heat is defense. Harris shot just 2 of [...]
