Dave Hyde: Giannis hurt, Herro out and Miami Heat beat Milwaukee in Game 1 stunner

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 11:02:33 GMT

You know how they go to the facial close-up in the movies to signal a sudden change in plot? Some look of eye-widening surprise? Some painful cry for help?They went to a close-up of Milwaukee star Giannis Antetokounmpo early in Sunday’s Game 1 against the Miami Heat. He wore a mask of pain. He didn’t get back onto the court. Giannis back against the Heat was the top story of this series.Instead, Giannis’s back is now.The Heat came out hard in Sunday’s 130-117 win, had their own injury to Tyler Herro’s broken hand to deal with and played with a force like they hadn’t previously this week in two, lackluster play-in games to reach these playoffs.But let’s be serious: This was a game the Heat had to win to make it a series. No Giannis? No best-player-in-the-game over there? You had to take advantage of that and the Heat turned in their best shooting night of the season.Herro, no doubt, was a big loss for the Heat. He dove for a loose ball in the...

Winderman’s view: No Tyler Herro now, so what next for Heat after shocking win?

Observations and other notes of interest from Sunday’s 130-117 NBA playoff victory over the Milwaukee Bucks:– The season started with the Heat touting their depth.– Then that depth proved illusory.– Victor Oladipo was benched.– Duncan Robinson was put into the deep freeze.– And Dewayne Dedmon was traded.– Yes, Kevin Love and Cody Zeller were added at the buyout deadline to bolster the power rotation.– And, yes, Love helped, a lot, Sunday.– But the perimeter rotation largely proved thin.– Now that becomes an even bigger problem, with Tyler Herro out with a broken hand.– Robinson started Sunday’s second half.– Oladipo remained in waiting.– To put into perspective what Oladipo and Robinson didn’t expect to be doing Sunday, both of them participated in an aggressive three-on-three scrimmage pregame.– Answers were going to be hard enough in this series.– Now new ones will have to be foun...

In a game Giannis and Herro are hurt, Butler gives Heat all they need in stunning 130-117 victory over Bucks

This was not as forecast.It could not have been.Not this 130-117 Miami Heat victory over the Milwaukee Bucks on Sunday night at Fiserv Forum.The teams are now one game into their best-of-seven opening-round Eastern Conference playoff series, and already seemingly everything has changed.Bucks All-Star forward Giannis Antetokounmpo, the expected leading man in the series, was lost for the night in the first half with a back contusion that leaves his status in question.Then, before the end of the first half, the Heat likely lost starting guard Tyler Herro for the playoffs with a broken right hand.Before that attrition, the Heat, who barely survived the play-in round, needing a Friday night escape against the Chicago Bulls to survive, built an early 14-point first-quarter lead against the conference’s No. 1 seed.And even after that, the Heat, for the first time playing as a No. 8 seed, moved to a 17-point lead.Eventually, like seemingly every Heat game this season, it got harried ...

Runners heading into cooler temps, light headwind on marathon day

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 11:02:33 GMT

Narrowly dodging last weeks high temps, Boston Marathon runners look to be set for cool, moderate race day conditions this Patriots Day — but run the risk of hitting some afternoon rain.Starting off in the morning, there will likely be some patchy fog and light drizzle, with temperatures starting around 50° and ticking closer to 60° as the day goes on — not the hottest and not the coldest race day in recent memory.Last year’s Boston Marathon saw a high of 50° and a low of 39°.This comes after record breaking heat last Thursday — hitting a scorching 88° high — and Friday — 83° high — before the region cooled off to more reasonable, nearly-seasonable temperatures Saturday and Sunday.“There’s going to be a light easterly wind, so that’d be a headwind for the runners as they start out in the morning,” said National Weather Service meteorologist Matthew Belk. “Then that will transition to the southeast wind as we go ...
