Fox Sports:
Basketball Hall of Fame coach Pat Riley is being sued for $551,000 for causing damage to his neighbor's basement, according to court documents obtained by TMZ.
The documents state Riley and his wife Christine overhauled their home in Malibu, Calif., in 2009 with new landscaping, terracing and a new irrigation system.
Shortly after the work was completed, their neighbors began noticing a major leakage problem, causing their basement to flood.
The neighbors claim their own "French drainage" system was damaged as a result of the Rileys' renovations, and are now seeking compensation.
Pat Riley, who currently serves as Miami Heat president, won four NBA championships as coach of the Los Angeles Lakers in the 1980s, and a fifth as coach of the Heat in 2006.

There is no story more well-tread than the tale of an athlete wallowing in the wreckage of a squandered fortune.
It’s enraging and simultaneously humbling for me to watch winners of the genetic lottery – many of whom I grew up wanting to emulate – earn millions for playing a simple game only to blow it on coke, whores and the dizzying spin of the roulette wheel. It happens...
Ronny Turiaf Says He Was 'Very, Very Interested' in Joining Celtics Before Eventually Deciding to Play for Heat
Ronny Turiaf joined the Miami Heat a couple of weeks ago, but the veteran big man admits he was close to donning green. Turiaf, who signed with the Heat after being waived by the Nuggets following his involvement in a three-team deal, said his decision came down to choosing between two or three teams before he eventually settled on joing LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh in...
Heat hope a return home fixes what ails them
When Monday's film session and court work were completed on the Heat practice floor, LeBron James and Dwyane Wade huddled with coach Erik Spoelstra and assistant David Fizdale for a chat.
Everyone took a turn talking, everyone took a turn nodding.
''We'd be lying to ourselves,'' Wade said afterward, ''if we said we were playing our best basketball...
Heat's uninspired road play a real concern
BOSTON A tired, dejected and exasperated Erik Spoelstra emerged from the visitors' locker room at TD Garden Sunday afternoon and addressed the buzzing media horde, where he attempted, once again, to explain how everything could have gone so horribly wrong for a team that can be so devastatingly good.
"It's not about what we say right now," Spoelstra barked after...
Will The Miami Heats Inability to Win On Road Cost Them In The Play-offs?
The Miami Heat have a good season going, just think how good it could be if these guys could win on the road. The Miami Heat have lost 7 out of their last 10 games on the road. Not only are they losing games on the road they lose them by plenty. For a team of fairly young players to lose to the Boston Celtics by 19 points and look totally worn out after the game, it leaves one to...
Avery Bradley says NOT UP IN HERE!
Avery Bradley sent Dwyane Wade's **** packin Sunday. Usually it's Wade or his partner in crime LeBron James turning a defensive play into a Sports Center Top 10 highlight. Not today. Bradley was under Wade's skin the entire game that I bet he could tell you what kind of shampoo the man uses.
P.S: How many times do you think Mike Breen ***** his pants accidently...
Sixers Still Can’t Beat the Heat, Even Without Wade
The Philadephia 76ers just can’t beat the Miami Heat, even when they are missing one of their star players. Dwayne Wade sat out tonight’s game, but the result was the same: Heat 99 – Sixers 93.
The Sixers played a good game against one of the league’s best teams. They actually led at the half 54-51. But in crunch time, when the game was on the line, the Heat could rely on...
Are these Heat really any different?
MIAMI It's simple. Either the Miami Heat are the Heat 2.0 hardened, emboldened and made better by all that's transpired since LeBron James uttered those words about South Beach.
Or they're the same team that relentlessly showed signs all last season, to those willing to see, that their glorious trio came with a very real Achilles' heel the one that finally caught...
James returns to form with 41 points vs. Sixers
MIAMI -- If Tom Brady goes awhile without a 300-yard passing game, it's a slump. If Tim Lincecum has a stretch without a 10-strikeout game, one wonders what's wrong.
It's the same with Miami forward LeBron James. When he had failed to reach 30 points for nine straight games, his longest such streak since early in his second season of 2004-05, it was a drought.
Well...
LeBron James holds off Sixers
Coming off their worst loss of the season, the Miami Heat used runs in the third and fourth quarters to hold off the Philadelphia 76ers 99-93. Dwyane Wade missed the game with a bruised left knee, but he is expected to return for Wednesday’s game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Miami swept the season series against Philadelphia, and would face the Sixers in the first round for...

Celtics blow out Heat to continue Miami's road woes
The Miami Heat visited Boston Sunday after struggling mightily on the road after the All-Star Game. The Celtics – one of the hottest teams in the NBA now – dominated the third quarter and defeated Miami 91-72.
