Or not. "Our belief," Pacers coach Frank Vogel said Thursday, "has strengthened." Barely 12 hours after LeBron James scored on a drive as time expired in overti...

Must have been one amazing tape job. Wade was brilliant down the stretch — and the Miami Heat are heading back to the Eastern Conference finals as a result. LeBron James...

They're running away with the Eastern Conference semifinals, and another performance like this will end it. LeBron James scored 27 points and the Heat nearly matched a franchise record for fewest points allowed in a playoff game, pounding...

Somehow, that did not spell doom for the Miami Heat. Somehow, they managed to squeeze out another win and take a 2-1 lead over the Chicago Bulls in their Eastern Conference semifinal series. That's because Chris Bosh and Norris Cole came up big, and James cam...

Mario Chalmers said the Miami Heat thought they were getting too many cheap shots. Tensions and emotions are now nearly as high as the stakes. In other words, this Bulls-Heat series is just getting started. Ray Allen scored 21 points in less than 19 minutes off the bench, LeBron James...

They responded with a technical knockout. After nine technical fouls, two ejections and a whole lot of extracurricular pushing and shoving, the end results were as follows: The biggest postseason win in Heat history, the biggest postseason loss in Chicago Bu...

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...

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...

Like an ordinary fan, he watched the Heat, who had some guy named Jarvis Vernado playing for them. And Miami won without James — and most of its other stars. James sat on the bench in street clothes as Norris Cole stripped Kyrie Irving of the ball with 2.2 seconds left to give Miami,...

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...

LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Mario Chalmers are all expected to be held from the starting lineup again Friday, and now, so is reserve guard Ray Allen, according to Heat coach Erik Spoelstra.

The shot was good. For Anthony and the New York Knicks, the outcome was even better. Relying entirely on jumpers, Anthony tied his career high with 50 points and the Knicks won their ninth straight game, topping the injury-depleted Miami H...

Spoelstra ruled all three out for Tuesday night's game, with James battling hamstring tightness and Wade and Chalmers dealing with right ankle sprains. "Everybody's human," Spoelstra...

Bosh scored 23 points, including the winning 3-pointer with 1.9 seconds remaining, and the Heat beat San Antonio 88...

(AP) — LeBron James was in perfect position for the rebound he needed for a triple-double. Near the rim, no Orlando opponents in his way, he readied his hands as he gazed toward the basket. Only problem was, E'Twaun Moore made the shot. James' night was complete a few moments later. No triple-double, the 24th time he fell short of the feat b...

(AP) — Late in the third quarter, the game was tied and the Miami Heat winning streak seemed to be in jeopardy. Then LeBron James got mad. And then the Orlando Magic had no chance. James finished with 24 points, 11 assists and nine rebounds, throwing down a dunk to start a huge, swift run that decided everything and the Heat won their 27th s...

Chris Bosh was twice regaled by "Happy Birthday" singing from fans. Juwan Howard got his first minutes of the season. Sunday was about fun for the Miami Heat. A much bigger test — a four-game trip that could bring them to the ...

Novak Djokovic, the top-ranked men's tennis player. Wladimir Klitschko, the world heavyweight boxing king. Rory McIlroy, who sits atop the golf rankings for at least one more night.
