LOS ANGELES (AP) — California firefighters battled wind-whipped wildfires that tore across the Los Angeles area, destroying homes, clogging roadways as tens of thousands fled and straining resources as officials prepared for the situation to worsen early Wednesday.
The flames from a fire that broke out Tuesday evening near a nature preserve in the inland foothills northeast of LA spread so rapidly that staff at a senior living center had to push dozens of residents in wheelchairs and hospital beds down the street to a parking lot.
Observations and other notes of interest from Tuesday night’s 114-98 victory over the Golden State Warriors:
– There was no pretense in this one.
– The Heat and Warriors know they need to be better.
– The Warriors entered 18-17, the Heat at 17-17.
– Now the Heat are 18-17, the Warriors 18-18.
– With Heat coach Erik Spoelstra acknowledging his team very much remains stuck in the middle.
– “You have a top-of-the-food-chain league right now, and then you have everyone else.
Exhaustion assuredly could have stood as an excuse, considering going double-overtime the previous night in a loss to the Sacramento Kings.
Opposing excellence could have created a sense of doom, as Stephen Curry drained eight 3-pointers in a 31-point performance.
And there remained the reality of Jimmy Butler missing the third game of a seven-game unpaid suspension for “conduct detrimental to the team.”
Instead, Erik Spoelstra’s team pushed through it all for a 114-98 victory Tuesday night over Curry and the Golden State Warriors at Chase Center.
A night after blowing a 17-point fourth-quarter lead in Sacramento, the Heat this time saw an early 15-point lead almost melt away before finding a way at the finish.
With solid bench boosts from Nikola Jovic, Duncan Robinson and Alec Burks, the Heat were able to minimize the fatigue for the starters in the back-to-back set.
“These are opportunities, when you have a real tough game last night and a quick turnaround, you can rally around each other or you can get overwhelmed and feel sorry for yourselves,” Spoelstra said.
