MIAMI— Shane Battier has largely been spared the misery. “It’s been a nice vacation,” the veteran forward said as he looked toward Sunday’s playoff opener against the Milwaukee Bucks at AmericanAirlines Arena, “but I know it’s time to earn my paycheck and go bang with these guys.” It was midway through last [...]
MIAMI— Friday’s lessons at AmericanAirlines Arena: When the Miami Heat want to be good, they can be very, very good. And they’ve been very, very good at home all season. Compensating for a ragged first quarter with an overwhelming second period, the Heat tied the franchise record for home victories in a season [...]
MIAMI— Well what do you know? Defense. Sustained defense. Sustained in games. Sustained now for two solid weeks.

Then Erik Spoelstra decided to wing it in the fourth quarter, for the first time this season going with the [...]
BOSTON— This time Miami Heat coach Erik Spoelstra did not parry the question. So perhaps change is coming. After deflecting the subject of a lineup change several times amid his team’s uneven starts to games this postseason, Spoelstra offered a more evenhanded response Sunday. Asked about his team consistently playing from behind with a starting [...]
MIAMI— Miami Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said Friday he will stay with the same starting lineup against the Boston Celtics that he utilized for his team’s first-round elimination of the Philadelphia 76ers. Spoelstra said he will remain with Mike Bibby starting at point guard and Zydrunas Ilgauskas starting at center, alongside LeBron James, Dwyane Wade [...]
