MIAMI -- Hassan Whiteside likes when teams challenge him inside.The reigning NBA blocks leader piled up seven to go with 12 points and 17 rebounds and the Miami Heat beat the Milwaukee Bucks 96-73 on Thursday night to end a six-game losing streak.Theres two different types of coaches and teams, Whiteside said. Theres coaches that say, `Hassan Whiteside is down there, dont attack him. And then there are coaches that say, `Hassan Whiteside is down there, lets attack him, God bless those teams. Long live those teams. I need more of those teams.Dion Waiters led Miami with 23 points, and Josh Richardson added 18. The losing streak was the Heats longest since 2008.Its just another game, we cant get too happy about one win, Richardson said. Were glad we won, but weve got to move on to the next game.Point guard Goran Dragic returned for the Heat after missing three games with a sprained left ankle. He had 16 points in 35 minutes.Rusty a little bit, Dragic said. I didnt feel quite fast enough. The first half I struggled a little bit and then I finally got my legs under me a little bit and in the second half I felt great.Giannis Antetokounmpo and Tony Snell each had 14 points for Milwaukee. The Bucks shot 32.9 percent (28 of 85) from the field and have lost four of five.As a team we struggled on the defensive end, Bucks head coach Jason Kidd said. We couldnt guard the ball. We couldnt grab rebounds when we had to. We gave them second opportunities. On the offensive end, we just lost our patience.Richardson hit a corner 3, Whiteside blocked a layup attempt by Antetokounmpo, and Dragic hit a 3 in a flurry of big plays to give Miami an 80-69 lead with 7 minutes left.That was a big sequence for us, Richardson said. Hassan, when he gets blocks like that it energizes everybody and were running I think were a dangerous team.The Heat held on the rest of the way, with a 3 by Waiters making it 88-73 with 3:31 left.Miami outscored Milwaukee 29-11 in the fourth quarter.The Bucks entered the game leading the NBA in points in the paint, averaging 49.8 a game after leading the league a year ago, but were held to 34 and just 10 in the second half.They cover so much ground in particular G.A. and (Jabari) Parker, Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. They really have a way of cutting and attacking, and catching and going into the paint. You have to have guys who are willing to compete, be physical, and do it with technique and discipline. And then when you get beat it helps to have a great eraser back there (with Whiteside).Milwaukee jumped out to a 20-6 lead, which included three impressive dunks by Parker, including taking one around-the-back on a dribble to avoid Richardson, and holding the Heat to 3-for-18 shooting.Miami quickly bounced back as Tyler Johnsons 3 gave the Heat a 30-27 lead and the teams were knotted at 48 at the break.Josh Richardson hit a pair of 3-pointers for the Heat during a 13-4 run in the third quarter to give Miami a 65-54 lead.Miami led 67-62 to start the fourth quarter.Our best basketball was in the second half, Spoelstra said.BUCKS STARS STRUGGLEAntetokounmpo and Parker, who entered the game averaging over 41 points, combined to score 25 on 10-of-35 shooting (28.6 percent).(Whiteside) did a good job of contesting shots, but I go to the basket, and I didnt get nothing the whole game, Parker said. I didnt get no calls.McGRUDER, COACHES RECEIVE RINGSMiamis Rodney McGruder and assistant coaches Dan Craig and Octavio de la Grana received their NBA D-League championship rings for winning the title last season with the Sioux Falls Skyforce, Miamis affiliate.Thats the same rock we got, thats awesome, Spoelstra said in reference to the Heats three championship rings. We all felt that we were a part of it.McGruder, a Kansas State product who went undrafted in 2013, made his NBA debut this season and recently earned his first start.UP NEXTMilwaukee will host Golden State on Saturday.

Thyago Vieira Jersey . The Nashville Predators were glad their captain was still on their side. Weber had a goal and two assists, and Roman Josi scored the shootout winner to lift the Predators to a 4-3 win over the Flyers on Thursday night. https://www.cheapwhitesox.com/ . Anthony Calvillo, through 20 CFL seasons, was frequently invincible and largely stoic in the heat of competition. But underneath the professional exterior he was, and is, compellingly human. Paul Konerko Jersey . They had already blown a double-digit lead, fans were hitting the exits, and a long seven-game road trip waited at the end. Carson Fulmer Jersey . -- Cam Newton pranced into the end zone, placed his hands over his chest and did his familiar Superman pose. Max Verstappen set the fastest time in the final practice session for the Mexican Grand Prix as traffic and tyre conditioning made a big impact on the order.Verstappen got a relatively clean lap on the super-soft tyres to set a 1:19.137, just 0.094s clear of Hamilton, whose first attempt was ruined by yellow flags for Romain Grosjeans spinning Haas. Daniel Ricciardo was third fastest and 0.233s off his teammate, but his best lap was ruined by a slow moving Kevin Magnussen in the final sector.Nico Rosberg was fourth fastest and 0.481s off Verstappens pace, but, again, his best lap was ruined on the entry to the stadium section as Romain Grosjean focused on the settings on his steering wheel rather than the cars around him. Valtteri Bottas set his time earlier in the session and a clear track meant his Williams was just 0.674s off Verstappens benchmark.Sebastian Vettel set the second fastest first sector of all, just 0.071s off Verstappen, but traffic on the entry to the stadium section ruined his quick lap as well. Ferrari teammate Kimi Raikkonen also lost time in the middle and final sectors to finish seventh fastest overall and 0.857s off Verstappen. Felipe Massa was eighth fastest after setting his time earlier than the rest on a relatively clear track.A lot of the traffic issues were caused by drivers trying to bring their super-soft tyres up to temperature slowly. The cold conditions and low-grip tarmac mean graining can occur if drivers push too hard on their out laps, and for some teams the optimum strategy is to do two warm-up laps ahead of a quick lap.ddddddddddddThe result of the chaotic final 10 minutes of FP3 is that the competitive order remains a mystery ahead of qualifying, with Mercedes qualifying dominance potentially under threat. The mixed order could be good news for Hamilton, however, who needs Mercedes teammate Rosberg to slip up at one of the remaining rounds in order to keep his championship chances alive.Nico Hulkenberg failed to follow up on his impressive FP2 pace on the soft tyre by only improving by 0.25s on the super-soft. He finished in ninth ahead of Carlos Sainz in tenth and the second Force India of Sergio Perez in 11th. Daniil Kvyat was 12th ahead of the McLaren of Fernando Alonso, Jolyon Palmers Renault and the second McLaren of Jenson Button.Marcus Ericsson managed to haul his Sauber up to 16th, over a second quicker than teammate Felipe Nasr in last, and ahead of the Haas of Esteban Gutierrez in 17th. Magnussen was 18th, 0.386s off teammate Palmer, and 0.256s ahead of Romain Grosjean, who struggled with the balance of his Haas throughout the session.In the battle of the Manors, Pascal Werhlein held a 0.163s advantage over teammate Esteban Ocon, with both drivers over 0.4s quicker than Nasr in last.
