MIAMI— It is a game of truth-or-dare that often can define the Miami Heat’s offense and certainly delineate Udonis Haslem’s scoring success. If the mid-range jumper is true, the offense not only opens up for the 10th-year power forward, but the rest of the team, as well. All the while, the opposition, caught [...]
MIAMI— It already was a ridiculous night the way Dwyane Wade and LeBron James were trading early alley-oop dunks, the way Wade was scoring 23 first-half points and the way the Miami Heat were ripping the heart out of the Detroit Pistons with a 26-4 second-quarter blitz. And yet all of that merely [...]

Because the Celtics again showed they have the heart of a champion in the Heat’s 115-111 overtime [...]
Even after victory, Dwyane Wade was defeated. Friday night’s 113-101 victory over the Toronto Raptors at Air Canada Centre? That was just basketball. It was what happened before, and what he said after the Miami Heat’s victory, that carried Wade’s emotions over a tumultuous 24 hours that took him from South Florida [...]
MIAMI— Throughout his career, Miami Heat forward LeBron James has never dealt with being in the role of secondary player. With so much talk about who is the Heat’s closer, James has no problem taking a back seat to Dwyane Wade in situations when the game is on the line. He showed that Saturday when [...]
WASHINGTON D.C.— Solving the Miami Heat defense this season has been simple as 1-2-3. With a strong emphasis on the three … as in 3-pointer.
