This is the best of the Doug Gottlieb show on Fox Sports Radio.

Welcome, everybody.

It is a Friday here on the Doug Gottlieb show.

Usually when Harmon and I get together, it's either really early in the morning or really late at night. And we're smack dab in the middle of the day. Ready to do this, Mike. How are you?

I'm great because, you know what? No matter what time we're on, we always have live action. And right now we've got Brooklyn and Toronto and Brooklyn ready to go home.

The Miami Heat were one bucket away from every winning team scoring 111 points.

The Rockets beat the Thunder 11-98.

I just mentioned the Lakers score over the Blazers and the Bucs score over the Magic. The Heat won 109 to 100 over Indiana. If they would have
