MIAMI -- Extra pass, easy win.
Curley Culp Womens Jersey . Its a
tried-and-true formula for the Miami Heat. LeBron James scored 25 points, Chris
Bosh added 24 and the Heat beat the winless Washington Wizards 103-93 on Sunday
night to snap a rare two-game slide. Dwyane Wade scored 20 points for Miami,
which hasnt dropped three straight regular-season games since Jan. 10-13, 2012.
The Heat (2-2) had 32 assists on 37 field goals, including on all nine of their
baskets in the third quarter. "Thats what we do," James said. "We understand
that its easy for everyone when we move the ball, share the ball and we play
like that." Including playoffs, the Heat are now 100 games over .500 at home
since the start of the 2010-11 season -- 127-27. And when collecting at least 25
assists in the Big Three era, they are 58-5. Of the 10 Heat players who played,
nine scored, nine got at least one assist and all 10 grabbed at least one
rebound. "The intensity was better and the consistent ball movement was better
than its been," Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. Bradley Beal scored 19 points
for the Wizards. Marcin Gortat finished with 15 points and 11 rebounds for
Washington (0-3), which shot 43 per cent and allowed the Heat to convert 21
turnovers into 25 points. "I thought we battled well," Beal said. "We still had
a few breakdowns on defence and didnt make a lot of shots on offence. But we did
a great job moving the ball. We just have to knock down shots and limit our
turnovers as much as possible." Miamis last three-game slide was against Boston
in the 2012 Eastern Conference finals, a series the Heat won in seven games.
With two defeats in three games to open this season, Sunday marked only the
second time since James, Bosh and Wade teamed up that they took the court with a
losing regular-season record. The other was after their first game together in
October 2010. "You can feel it, and its special when it happens," Wade said of
having so many assists as a team. "It just makes the game so much easier."
Washingtons Trevor Ariza got hot to start the fourth, as the Wizards turned what
looked like a runaway into a game again. Ariza missed all eight of his shots in
the first three quarters, then had four baskets -- three of them 3-pointers --
in the first 4:48 of the final period as the Wizards got within 91-80. That got
the Heat to take a timeout, and got James back into the game. The Wizards kept
chipping away, with Beal scoring and getting fouled with 41.3 seconds left to
get his team within 100-93. Beal missed the free throw, it stayed a
three-possession game, and the Wizards let 15 seconds run off the ensuing Miami
possession before fouling Bosh. By then, the outcome was clear. Mario Chalmers
had eight assists for the Heat. Ariza and Martell Webster each scored 13 points
for Washington, which got 11 points and nine assists from John Wall. "This is
how weve got to play," Wizards coach Randy Wittman said. "Nobody wants to lose
but I thought we took a good step in the right direction." Before the game,
Spoelstra said the early struggles this season were simply a matter of Miami not
clicking at times. That wasnt an issue Sunday. James got it going early for
Miami, scoring 14 points in the first quarter and connecting on all three of his
3-point tries in that period. All five Miami starters got into the scoring act
early, and the bench added 12 points in the second quarter as the Heat extended
the lead. About all the Heat could really complain about in this one was the
opening minutes, in which they found themselves in a 9-2 deficit, continuing a
trend of falling behind early. Miami trailed 9-2 against Chicago at home in the
season-opener, then 19-0 (and 26-4) at Philadelphia, then 11-3 at Brooklyn.
Sundays deficit didnt last long. A 14-2 run over a 5-minute stretch of the
opening quarter put the Heat up by five and the margin grew throughout, starting
with 33-27 after 12 minutes, 61-48 at halftime and 87-64 entering the final
period. "We know what works for us," Wade said. "Sometimes we just dont do it."
NOTES: James ran his double-digit scoring streak to 499 straight regular-season
games, going back to January 2007. His teams are 363-136 in those games. ...

Bastos Marques, president of the EOM (Municipal Olympic Company), will be
leaving her post but will remain as an advisor, a city hall statement said
Tuesday. ASHBURN, Va. -- The Washington Redskins on Thursday formally appealed a
ruling that stripped the team of trademark protection, the latest legal manoeuvr
in the franchises attempt to defend its name against those who consider it a
racial slur. The team announced that it had filed its complaint in the U.S.
District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia and that it "points out the
many errors" in the decision by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. The
offices Trademark Trial and Appeal Board voted 2-1 on June 18 to cancel six uses
of "Redskins" trademarked from 1967 to 1990, saying the name is "disparaging of
Native Americans." "We believe that the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board ignored
both federal case law and the weight of the evidence, and we look forward to
having a federal court review this obviously flawed decision," Redskins lawyer
Bob Raskopf said in the teams statement. The team had previously said it would
appeal the ruling and had two months to do so. The trademark protection remains
in place while the matter makes its way through the courts, a process that could
take years. A similar ruling by the trademark board in 1999 was overturned on a
technicality in 2003. Native Americans have bbeen challenging the trademark
since 1992.
Earl Campbell Jersey. The Redskins say they
will ask the court to consider "serious constitutional issues," including
whether the ruling penalizes the teams right of free speech and whether the team
has been unfairly deprived of "valuable and long-held intellectual property
rights." The group of five Native Americans challenging the name is equally
confident. "This effort is doomed to fail," said Amanda Blackhorse, the lead
plaintiff. "But if they want to prolong this litigation which has already gone
on for 22 years, I guess they have that prerogative." The Redskins have been
under sustained pressure to defend the name over the last 18 months, with major
political, church and sports figures joining the debate and saying it should be
changed. Team owner Dan Snyder has vowed never to change the name, calling it a
"badge of honour." "If people wouldnt dare call a Native American a redskin
because they know it is offensive, how can an NFL football team have this name?"
Blackhorse said. "We know that time is on our side for a change in the teams
name, and we are confident we will win once again at this stage of the
litigation."
