| mes, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh will play Game 1 of the NBA finals on their home floor. They can thank Eddie House, Juwan Howard and Jamaal Magloire for that privilege. The story goes like this: On the final night of the regular season, the Miami Heat were playing against the Toronto Raptors - and had an eye on the Dallas Mavericks. The Heat were already locked into the No. 2 seed in the Eastern Conference, but the game was far from meaningless in the sense that by winning, Miami would finis |
| Spoelstra is Miami's calming influence |

MIAMI (AP) - Erik Spoelstra still has the T-shirt he tugged over his shirt-and-tie combination in Dallas five years ago on the night the Miami Heat won the NBA championship. It's never been washed. The scent of champagne remains. Back then, he was a little-known assistant for Pat Riley. The dark circles under his eyes were nowhere near as pronounced as they are now. He was barely noticed, and certainly did not have the weight of the Heat world on his shoulders. Things are different now. |

MIAMI (AP) - Dwyane Wade stayed long after practice ended Wednesday, fine-tuning his shot for so long that he had to eventually be summoned off the court so the Miami Heat's plane could leave on time. Up 3-1 in the Eastern Conference finals, the Heat are still working. ``We're desperate,'' Wade said. ``We're a desperate team as well. We didn't work this hard to put ourself in this position, to be up 3-1, to not be able to match their energy and effort.'' Game 5 is in Chicago on Thursday |

This is what LeBron James envisioned last summer. Why he broke the hearts of everyone within a 100-mile radius of Cleveland, trashed his reputation and gave the nation a new punchline. The Miami Heat aren't in the NBA finals - yet. But it seems almost inevitable now, what with a 3-1 lead and the Chicago Bulls looking dazed after James' all-around dominating performance Tuesday night. James can apologize for the rest of his career or make more defiant commercials, and he'll still be the pl |

Chris Bosh dropped in 22 points and Dwyane Wade made up for a quiet scoring night with two blocks in OT for Miami, which is one win away from a trip to the NBA Finals in the first year of its roster upheaval.

| (Sports Network) - Top-seeded Chicago hopes to even the Eastern Conference finals when they visit the Miami Heat in Game 4 on Tuesday. A Game 1 rout by the Bulls is now ancient history after Tom Thibodeau's club dropped two in a row, the latest of which was a 96-85 Miami triumph in Game 3 on Sunday. Chris Bosh went 13-of-18 from the field en route to 34 points in that one as the Heat pulled away in the fourth quarter.

Almost lost in that shuffle: The Bulls need to find a way to slow the Miami Heat - and fast. And that's what Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau said his team is worried about more than anything. ``I think you're going to be challenged in every way possible,'' the NBA's reigning coach of the year said Monday, after the team held |

Noah used a derogatory and offensive term from the bench during the first quarter of Sunday's 96-85 loss to the Miami Heat in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference finals. While the NBA's official release declined to elaborate on the nature of the term, the Chicago Tribune reported that it was an anti-gay slur.
