MIAMI (AP) — The last time Miami scored 45 points in a fourth quarter was 1989, long before Pat Riley arrived in South Florida, long before Erik Spoelstra arrived, long before most of the current Heat players were born.It happened again Thursday to fuel a comeback win.The Heat made 15 of their final 17 shots and Jimmy Butler’s 36 points led the way as Miami topped Indiana 142-132 — despite the Pacers getting a career-high 44 points from Tyrese Haliburton.The 45 fourth-quarter points were second-most in team history, topped by only a 48-point fourth against New York on March 2, 1989. And it was the third-most total points in Heat history, more than 31 above their season average.“That’s definitely not our style of basketball,” Butler said. “But a win is a win.”Rookie Jaime Jaquez Jr. scored 14 of his 24 in the fourth quarter for the Heat, who trailed by 13 early and didn’t take the lead for the first time until about 10 minutes remained. Butler added 10 rebounds, Josh Rich...Scott Lake Elementary empowers young girls in ‘Girls Growing into Greatness’ pinning ceremony

(CNN) — Some fans may not be happy with Andre 3000 for releasing a record that isn’t a rap song, but give the man some credit.The artist, who has been beloved as both a solo act and part of the hip-hop duo Outkast, has broken a Billboard record for the longest song to ever crack the Billboard Hot 100.Fittingly, Andre 3000’s flute hit also has a long title: “I Swear, I Really Wanted to Make a ‘Rap’ Album But This Is Literally the Way the Wind Blew Me This Time.”With a run time of 12 minutes and 20 seconds, the song entered at No. 90 and “becomes the longest-running song ever to have hit the chart, surpassing Tool’s ‘Fear Inoculum,’ at 10:21 in length,” according to Billboard.Andre 3000, now 48, has suggested that he may have aged out of the hip-hop game. Much of his audience has pushed back on that, while embracing the new music. His all-instrumental “New Blue Sun,” has hit No. 1 on the New Age Albums chart.Miami’s annual Tree Lighting and Holiday Festival spark festive beginnings for December
