MIAMI CONTINUES TO IMPROVE
The Miami Heat are a team that sometimes struggles against lesser opponents, but this is something that happens to every great team. On Sunday’s against Toronto, they looked dominating for stretches, then at other times let the Raptors go on a run that would let them stay in the game. The final score of 95-89 certainly didn’t indicate a blowout of any kind, but there was...

Heat Wake Up, Breeze By Hornets
The New Orleans Hornets took advantage of a complacent and lethargic Miami Heat to open their game Monday night, making nine of their first 10 field goal attempts and racing out to a 12-point lead midway through the second quarter. But from that point on, the Heat played with more urgency and the game went how one would expect a meeting between Miami and an Eric Gordon-less Hornets...

Until this week, Mike Miller and Eddy Curry wore suits at the end of the Miami bench. They arrived here under vastly different circumstances, but are now essentially in the same place.
