If this Packers’ 27-0 dominance continues, several analysts might want to recategorize Miami’s 1 win in 7 games against good teams. I’m still counting it, though. – 5:57 PM

Nikola Jovic knows as Heat gets healthier, his playing time will likely shrink: “How can I expect when they come back for me to play heavy minutes? That’s not realistic.” In the meantime, Jovic is trying to make the most of this opportunity miamiherald.com/sports/nba/mia… – 5:35 PM
