Observations and other notes of interest from Sunday night’s 104-100 victory over the Houston Rockets: – So much of this game said so much about who the Heat are and what they want to be. – When push came to shove, they pushed and shoved. – Showing, just like the victory a few Sundays back against Cleveland, that the fight remains. – But it also showed how difficult it can be at times. – This one as much of a struggle at times as Saturday’s loss in Atlanta. – This time they made shots. – And, so, ballgame. – But as a possible future without Jimmy Butler is considered, this one also showed that there are catalysts elsewhere on the roster. – Tyler Herro continues to fill the boxscore beyond the scoring column. – Nikola Jovic did the same in this one. – And even on an off night by his standards, another double-double for Bam Adebayo. – So now is mixing Butler back in enough? – Because those final seconds showed there is plenty of fight there. – So 16-14 with two days to recover from the road. – With Butler then expected back. – And then a push to something better? – Or was the feistiness in Sunday’s final seconds as festy as it gets? – With Duncan Robinson (foot) out along with Butler, Heat coach Erik Spoelstra opened with a lineup of Herro, Adebayo, Kevin Love, Haywood Highsmith and Terry Rozier. – It was the fifth time the Heat opened with Sunday’s lineup, now 3-2 with that lineup. – The Heat’s sixth lineup of the season. – Spoelstra spoke pregame about Robinson attempting to push through the inflammation in his right foot that flared up in Saturday’s loss in Atlanta. – “I don’t have a timeline,” Spoelstra said, “but he really wanted to try to go today, just didn’t really pass his protocols.

  • A South Florida driver said he fell asleep during a fatal crash. Why didn’t deputies test if he was sober?
    South Florida Sun-Sentinel, Tuesday - 01/21/2025 - 04:39 AM

    Before a random Sunday morning last June, Ayal Chomsky had what he could only describe as “perfection:” marriage to the love of his life, 44-year-old Caryn Chomsky, who he met about 25 years ago on Birthright in Israel, two twin teenagers, who they had despite the odds, a peaceful West Boynton Beach home, a successful corporate law career. Then, on June 9, a 19-year-old driver who said he fell asleep hit and killed Caryn while she was running on the sidewalk. Six months later, Caryn is gone and the case against the driver, Myles Denard Scott, is nearing an end.

  • Revamped Pier Sixty-Six, new Broward Convention Center hotel loom as tourism catalysts for 2025
    South Florida Sun-Sentinel, Tuesday - 01/21/2025 - 04:30 AM

    Few Florida cities and counties that consider themselves tourist destinations are starting the New Year with a hand as rich as the one held by Fort Lauderdale and Broward County. Aligned roughly across the Intracoastal Waterway from each other near Port Everglades, two major hotels stand to significantly lift the annual flow of leisure and business travelers into Greater Fort Lauderdale. On the west bank: The nearly finished 800-room Omni Hotel, which is a linchpin of the publicly financed expansion of the Greater Fort Lauderdale/Broward County Convention Center.

  • Which Florida congressional district has the highest household income? It’s not where you — or Donald Trump — might guess
    South Florida Sun-Sentinel, Tuesday - 01/21/2025 - 04:27 AM

    It’s home to President-elect Donald Trump and his billionaire neighbors in Palm Beach, but Florida’s 22nd Congressional District isn’t among the districts with the highest earnings in the country. It’s not even close. About half the nation’s 435 congressional districts have higher median household incomes. And Florida’s 22nd, which is entirely within Palm Beach County, isn’t even among the top in the state or in South Florida. The highest median income in South Florida is in the Broward-Palm Beach County 23rd Congressional District, which includes the Atlantic coast from Fort Lauderdale north through Boca Raton and includes upscale Parkland in the west. The median income in the 23rd District, represented by U.

  • South Florida lawmakers and the top roles they’ll have on committees
    South Florida Sun-Sentinel, Tuesday - 01/21/2025 - 04:26 AM

    U. S. foreign policy will be dictated by President-elect Donald Trump. It will be influenced by Trump’s pick for national security adviser, U. S. Rep. Mike Waltz, R-Fla. And policy will be implemented by U. S. Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., once he’s confirmed as secretary of state. A fourth Floridian also will have a role. Less known than the others, U.

  • ASK IRA: Would Nikola Jovic fit into a Heat Triplet Tower of Terror?
    South Florida Sun-Sentinel, Tuesday - 01/21/2025 - 04:25 AM

    Q: Please let me be the first one to say the next thing for the Heat is a Triplet Tower of Terror. Bam Adebayo, Kel’el Ware and Nikola Jovic can hit threes and play inside and outside. They all pass well. Two are pretty good defenders and Niko looked very good defending smaller players against San Antonio.  This could be an option against super-sized teams like Cleveland.
