SAN ANTONIO— Miami Heat coach Erik Spoelstra moved his team’s game-day shootaround Thursday to a small private high school 22 miles from the AT&T Center. He said it was a matter of location. “It’s closer to our hotel,” he said, “so it’s more convenient.” It also was more private, private enough [...]
SAN ANTONIO— The whispers began even before the regular season concluded. The shift appeared inevitable. The Miami Heat, after all, made their most significant statements during their 2012 championship run after Shane Battier replaced Udonis Haslem as the starting power forward.

MIAMI— There is only so much that can be taken against the league’s worst team that is playing without its top two point guards and on the second night of a back-to-back. Unless, of course, you’re talking about the Miami Heat and power forward Udonis Haslem. That made Saturday’s 102-72 mundane rout [...]
