Heat, on the brink of elimination, appear to be running out of playoff magic

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 06:34:09 GMT

MIAMI (AP) — Get this series back to the 305.That’s what Miami Heat coach Erik Spoelstra repeated fervently after a loss to the Denver Nuggets on Friday night left them once again facing elimination. The question now is if the Heat have enough left in the tank to overcome it.The team whose improbable run from the play-in tournament to the NBA Finals has kept finding ways to win. No matter the opponent, no matter the adversity, finding a way when their backs were against the wall has been part of the Heat’s identity in these playoffs.But Miami seems to have met an opponent in Denver that is too good and too deep. The eighth-seeded Heat fell into a 3-1 hole after their 108-95 loss in Game 4 as the series heads back to Denver.“I told the guys, ’Feel whatever you want to feel tonight. That’s fine. You probably shouldn’t sleep any tonight any amount of time,’” Spoelstra said. “We have an incredibly competitive group. We’ve done everything the hard way, and that’s the way it’s going...

This school reopened quickly after COVID. Kids’ reading was still behind

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 06:34:09 GMT

COLUMBUS, Kan. (AP) — Students spread out in their rural Kansas classroom, answering questions with a partner about invaders atop elephants attempting to sack Rome more than 2,000 years ago.“Do you want to read?” one of the third graders, Parker, asked his partner after the lesson on the Punic Wars. “Because I’m not really good.”Bekah Noel told her students to jot down answers for their partners if they needed extra help writing or spelling. Halfway through the school year, with some of her students reading nearly 200 words per minute and others struggling to sound out around 10, she has had to make a lot of tweaks like this.Exiting from the pandemic, the assumption might be that Noel’s students should be among the least scathed. The tiny, 900-student school system in Columbus pivoted to remote learning briefly in March 2020 before going back in person that fall, initially without masks. While some U.S. students spent a year or more learning online, pandemic school in rural Kansas w...
