Heat bring 2-0 lead over Celtics home to Miami as East finals resume on Sunday

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 05:22:50 GMT

MIAMI (AP) — Jimmy Butler is Miami’s leader this postseason in points, minutes, assists and steals per game. He’s the sommelier at team dinners. He’s the barista when it’s time for coffee.If all that wasn’t enough, he’s also the DJ.When music blares in the Heat locker room, Butler is almost always in charge. Could be gospel, could be Whitney Houston, could be Nickelback and — as it was after Miami’s 111-105 win in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference finals — it could be Morgan Wallen, whose song “Somebody’s Problem” has become a Heat anthem.Wallen’s song is not about basketball, though that’s completely irrelevant to the Heat. These days, Butler is Somebody’s Problem. In fact, he’s Everybody’s Problem. And the Boston Celtics are running out of time to find a solution.Game 3 of the East finals is Sunday night, with the eighth-seeded Heat leading 2-0 after stunning almost everyone but themselves by going into Boston and winning the first two games of the series — puttin...

WOLVERHAMPTON, England (AP) — Yerry Mina’s dramatic leveler at Wolverhampton earned Everton a valuable point in its fight for English Premier League survival on Saturday.The defender struck from close range in the ninth minute of second-half stoppage time to grab a 1-1 draw and give the Toffees hope after Hwang Hee-chan’s first-half goal for Wolves.Everton’s 69-year stay in the top-flight remains in doubt and Sean Dyche’s side could still find itself in the drop zone before next week’s finale.Leeds visits West Ham on Sunday before Leicester’s trip to Newcastle on Monday and victory for both would lift them above Everton.As it is, Everton sits two points above the bottom three ahead of the visit of Bournemouth next Sunday.Everton struggled for long spells and again lost Dominic Calvert-Lewin to injury. Calvert-Lewin, who came off in last week’s defeat to Manchester City with a groin problem, limped off in first-half stoppage time.It will spawn a nervous Goodison Park, whi...

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 05:22:50 GMT

PARIS (AP) — Changing coach has made no difference yet for Nantes, which stayed in the French league relegation zone after losing at home to Montpellier 3-0 on Saturday.Nantes fired Antoine Kombouaré with four games remaining and replaced him with the reserves coach. But the side has picked up only one point in two games since.Nantes fell behind in the 38th minute when Téji Savanier set up fellow midfielder Jordan Ferri with a long pass.Striker Arnaud Nordin made it 2-0 in the 47th with an angled drive into the bottom left corner. Defender Falaye Sacko completed the scoring late on to leave eight-time French champion Nantes in 17th place with four teams going down this season and only two rounds remaining.Later Saturday, Marseille was looking to win at Lille to overtake Lens and move into second place for the automatic Champions League position. Victory for Lille would move it two points behind fourth-placed Monaco in the Europa League spot.___AP soccer: https://apnews.com/hub/Socce...

And I should not have to register for any political party, in order to exercise my constitutional right to vote,” Lisa D. T.

(CNN) — Es un mito que las mujeres pierden interés en el sexo cuando llegan a la mediana edad y más allá, según una investigación que siguió a más de 3.200 mujeres durante unos 15 años.“Alrededor de una cuarta parte de las mujeres califican el sexo como muy importante, independientemente de su edad”, dijo la Dra.

Volleyball notebook: Lowell soaring above talented MVC crowd

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 05:22:50 GMT

The mentality is as cliché as it gets, but no less important toward what any championship-caliber team aspires for. “No days off,” rings loud and clear from the Lowell boys volleyball program.It echoes within a 100 percent effort each game. It echoes within the bevy of practices that pack a six-day schedule, as head coach Paul McCarthy only gives Sundays for rest.Even then, it still echoes.“One of my bench players (Kaeon Phon) sent me a picture of him at the laundromat and he said, ‘No days off, coach,’ ” McCarthy said. “It was very humorous. It was very light. … Everyone, we keep it light, and we just do what we do. That’s our motto this year, we just do what we do.”Part of the Red Raiders’ all-gas, no brakes mentality comes in hopes of succeeding even more than they did last year – making their first Div. 1 state semifinal appearance before falling to Westford Academy. So far, it’s worked wonders, orchestrating a 17-1 record with a loaded junior class that helps Lowell stand tall ...
