Hassan Whiteside, On The Heat Playing Small Lineups: "It's Really Bullshit"
Saturday night the Heat had one of those really grinding losses, in Brooklyn.

Caroline Wozniacki Says Unruly Fans Threatened Her And Her Family During Miami Open
Monica Puig came roaring back after a dispiriting first set to beat Caroline Wozniacki, 0-6 6-4 6-4, in a Friday Round of 64 match at the Miami Open.

Derek Jeter On The Marlins' Dinger Machine: "It's Big. It's Big. It's Big."
Much of the Miami Marlins’ roster from last season has departed, but the team’s true centerpiece—the home run sculpture in the outfield—is set to remain, at least for now.

Dwyane Wade, paying tribute to Parkland shooting victim Joaquin Oliver, hit the game-winning shot last night in the Miami Heat’s 102-101 victory over the Philadelphia 76ers.
