Sluggish at times offensively, the high-octane Phoenix Suns unveiled a new wrinkle. Zone defense, of all things, kept the Suns unbeaten. Steve Nash scored 25 of his 30 points in the second half, added eight assists and the Suns used a dominant fourth quarter to beat the Miami Heat 104-96 in a matchup of NBA unbeatens Tuesday night.
Alan Ogg, a 7-foot-2 shotblocker who played for UAB and spent parts of three seasons in the NBA, died Sunday from complications from a staph infection, a university spokesman said. He was 42. UAB spokesman Norm Reilly said Ogg died at UAB Hospital. Ogg played 80 NBA games over three seasons beginning in 1990 with the Miami Heat, who had a moment of silence Sunday night before playing Chicago.
Dwyane Wade topped 10,000 points for his career in the Miami Heat's game against the Chicago Bulls. Wade, already the Heat all-time scoring leader and last season's NBA scoring champion, made a free throw with 1:32 left in the third quarter Sunday. He entered the game 20 points shy of the mark.
Jermaine O'Neal claims he's not angry with the Indiana Pacers for trading him before last season. He might have fooled his old fans. He had 22 points and 12 rebounds against his former team, and the Miami Heat beat the Pacers 96-83 on Friday night. O'Neal was the Pacers' best player before the franchise fell apart following the brawl between Pacers players and Detroit Pistons fans in...
Without much thought, Udonis Haslem started reciting a long list of players who are good enough to be NBA starters yet come off the bench. He's now one of them. Haslem is out of Miami's starting lineup for the first time in six years, paving the way for Michael Beasley to open at power forward.

Atlanta Hawks coach Mike Woodson said every game is important. Erik Spoelstra, his counterpart with the Miami Heat, termed Thursday's game "a meaningless preseason game." The results reflected their thinking. Joe Johnson scored 14 points and Al Horford and Jamal Crawford added 12 each to lead the Hawks past Miami 92-87 in the Heat's final preseason game.
In the final minute, Dwyane Wade went to his best move. Udonis Haslem had a game-saving dive to collect a loose ball a few seconds later. Don't tell the Miami Heat veterans that this was a meaningless preseason game. Wade scored 35 points in 29 1/2 minutes, Haslem finished with 17 and Heat overcame an early 18-point deficit in beating the Memphis Grizzlies 99-93 Wednesday night.

There was no home team. Kansas fans had to choose between rooting for Julian Wright and the Hornets or Mario Chalmers and the Heat. Kansas State fans wanted to cheer for Miami because of Michael Beasley, but that also meant rooting for Chalmers, a former Jayhawk. No one knew what to do, so they just cheered the whole time.
Foul trouble limited Kevin Durant for much of three quarters, but it didn't stop him when the Oklahoma City Thunder needed him most. Durant scored 18 of his 30 points in the fourth quarter to help the Oklahoma City Thunder rally for a 96-91 preseason win over the Miami Heat on Wednesday night. Jeff Green added 25 points for the Thunder (2-2), who didn't take their first lead until there was...

Carlos Arroyo is back in the NBA, and gets to stay home in Miami for that opportunity. The Miami Heat signed Arroyo to a one-year contract Monday, which would be worth about $1.1 million if the 30-year-old point guard remains with the club all season. Arroyo last played in the NBA for the Orlando Magic during the 2007-08 season, spending last season in Israel.

San Antonio coach Gregg Popovich quickly pointed out that DeJuan Blair only had one defensive rebound Sunday night. "Not good enough," Popovich said, barely keeping a straight face. So far, Blair is showing the Spurs -- and probably the rest of the NBA -- that he's certainly good enough.
