Kyle Lowry Halfcourt Bomb Sends Game 1 To Overtime
Kyle Lowry had been struggling all game, until the bitter end of Toronto’s opening game against Miami, when he hit this absolute moonshot to tie the game at 90 and send it to overtime.

Somehow, The Hornets Are On The Verge Of The Second Round

Vintage Dwyane Wade Is Fun As Hell
It’s easy to forget how good Dwyane Wade can be. LeBron James was Miami’s best player during their title seasons, and Wade’s struggled with injuries for a few years. Since LeBron took his talents back to Ohio, Wade has had the highest usage rate on the Heat in both seasons, but he’s not the undisput...

Nearly Perfect: For One Night, Rex Chapman Was King
Michael Jordan made me hate basketball. That’s not supposed to be the effect of one of the greatest players of all time, not if he plays for your team or you’re a connoisseur of the sport. But for me, a young sports fan in South Florida who sort of understood basketball, I looked at Michael Jordan’s...

The sweepstakes to see who loses the NBA Finals, a.k.a. the East, is looking, in the very early going, like someone other than LeBron James could emerge for the first time since 2010.

Everybody's Mad At The Heat For How They Got Under The Luxury Tax Threshold
After the Brooklyn Nets bought out the rest of Joe Johnson’s contract, the Miami Heat quickly moved to sign him. While Johnson will probably help the Heat out on the court, signing him barely put the Heat over the luxury tax threshold....

Reports: The Heat Are Scared Chris Bosh's Blood Clots Have Returned

This Hassan Whiteside One-Handed Catch Is The Best Block Of The Year

Hassan Whiteside On His Monster Triple-Double: "Ain't Nobody Doing It With Blocks"
The Heat hit a bump in the road lately, stumbling to three straight losses on a long West Coast road trip.
