MIAMI— For the Miami Heat’s 3-point specialists, the long shots proved to be, well, a longshot during the second round against the Chicago Bulls, even with the Heat advancing in five games. While there was an unlikely 9-of-11 3-point contribution from backup point guard Norris Cole and surprising 4-of-8 efficiency from center Chris [...]
BROOKLYN, N.Y.— On a day Brooklyn Nets forward Reggie Evans questioned the legitimacy of the Miami Heat’s 2012 NBA championship, the Heat gave Evans something more tangible to mull: Whether the Nets ever will beat the Heat or LeBron James. Defeating the Nets for the 13th consecutive time, the Heat swept the season series [...]
LOS ANGELES— So what do you do when the opponent is poised to body slam you? You go tag team. No, the Miami Heat’s approach to their power rotation hardly is typical. There is no definitive center, no robo-rebounder, no hulking presence. But there are options, with Thursday night’s 99-90 victory [...]

And Sunday these players and coaches decide if the lineup card gets torn apart for next season. Because with a loss there’s little chance they recover in this series and even less chance Heat President Pat [...]
INDIANAPOLIS— The Indiana Pacers are along for the ride. They seemingly wouldn’t have it any other way. While the focus Friday was on how the Miami Heat are trailing 2-1 in this best-of-seven Eastern Conference semifinal series, there has been little discussion of what the Pacers have done to seize that lead.

Meanwhile, the NBA players will stop at nothing to get all the cheese.” [...]
