It still hurt. "I could have pushed through it," he said. "But my teammates told me if it's hurtin', they got it." The Miami Heat reminded everyone Sunday why they're heavy favorites to win a second straight NBA tit...

It's easy to see why. Allen already has been a major factor in his first playoff appearance with the Miami Heat, who are one win from closing out their first-round series against the Milwaukee Bucks. He led the Heat with 23 poi...

Heat coach Erik Spoelstra hasn't made a decision about Wade's playing status, preferring to wait and see how his guard feels after getting "a couple of hours" of treatment. The Heat didn't practice...

Yet. The Heat have a chance to sweep a playoff series for the first time since LeBron James and Chris Bosh joined Dwyane Wade in Miami when they play the Milwaukee Bucks in Game 4 on Sunday afternoon. ...

Suffice to say, he won't have favorite-son status over the next few days. Wade and the Miami Heat are halfway to advancing in the NBA playoffs after topping the Milwaukee Bucks 98-86 on Tuesday nigh...

On the other end, the sense around the Milwaukee bench was that an upset was there for the taking. Then the Heat landed a swift knockout punch. Dwyane Wade scored 21 points, LeBron James finished with 19 and the Heat used a frantic start to the fourth quarter to pull away and...

He yelled. He trash-talked. And he won, getting to watch his teammates do 20 push-ups as his reward. There is a certain irony in James staying on the court after pract...

They might have even seemed downright ominous. "We know we can play a better game," James said. His assessment came after the defending NBA champion Miami Heat pretty much did whatever they wanted ...

It was not. James scored 27 points on 9 for 11 shooting — finishing two assists shy of a triple-double — while Ray Allen scored 20 off the bench and the defending champion Heat pic...

And the Heat won handily anyway. So if this was a potential first-round Eastern Conference playoff preview, the Bucks probably didn't enjoy much of what they saw on Tuesday night. L...

Wade was ruled out of Tuesday's home game against the Milwaukee Bucks, the fifth straight contest that the All-Star guard will miss while tending to a sprained ankle and bruised knee. He did, however, feel well enough to participate in Miami's shootaround practice ...

Yawn. That's what a 23-game winning streak will do for a team. It mutes even the LeBron-Goes-Home-Again hype. Someday the Heat will lose another basketball game.
