(SportsNetwork. Max Pacioretty Jersey .com) - The Miami Heat will try to even their record on this current homestand Tuesday night when they welcome the Philadelphia 76ers to AmericanAirlines Arena. The Heat started this seven-game stay with back-to-back losses against the Utah Jazz and Washington Wizards, but got back on track a bit with a win last time out. Miami drubbed the Boston Celtics, 100-84, on Sunday. Luol Deng scored 23 points to lead the Heat. Rookie James Ennis posted his best scoring game as a pro, going for 16 points to help Miami snap its five- game home losing streak. Norris Cole had 15 points and Mario Chalmers supplied 11 points and 10 assists in the win. Shawne Williams also finished with 11 and Udonis Haslem added 10 off the bench. Six guys in double figures, but finding out Dwyane and Hassan were out, the guys had a really tough-minded effort, said Heat coach Erik Spoelstra. Heat forward Chris Bosh (calf) missed his fifth straight game, while Dwyane Wade (right knee contusion), Hassan Whiteside (left toe) and Josh McRoberts (knee) were also inactive. The Heat have a huge Christmas matchup ahead when LeBron James returns for the first time since signing with the Cleveland Cavaliers. Memphis and Orlando also visit South Beach during Miamis homestand. The 76ers began a seven-game road odyssey Sunday night with a 96-88 win over the Orlando Magic. Reigning Rookie of the Year Michael Carter-Williams finished with 21 points and six assists to lead the Sixers. Five players reached double figures for Philadelphia as it ended a five-game losing streak. Nerlens Noel posted 13 points and 12 rebounds, while Henry Sims and Robert Covington joined Noel by posting double-doubles as well. Sims had 12 points and 12 boards, with Covington recording 11 points and 10 rebounds. We needed to reclaim our spirit and we didnt have that the last two games, 76ers coach Brett Brown said. Philly is 3-9 on the road, which is certainly not great, but better than its 0-14 record at home. The 76ers have committed 17 or more turnovers in nine straight games. The Heat beat the Sixers by 18 in Philadelphia on Nov. 1 and are 10-2 in their last 12 versus Philly. The 76ers actually beat the Heat in Miami late in the 2013-14 campaign to halt a 13-game road losing streak in this series, including the playoffs.

In hiring Tim Murray to take over as GM on Thursday, LaFontaine also announced the addition of Hockey Hall of Fame executive Craig Patrick to serve as a special adviser to assist in transforming the NHLs worst team into a contender. "Its comfortable for me to be in the middle, having played centre my whole life," the former Sabres captain said, seated between Murray and Patrick. "To have these wingers is pretty special." Murray has the background, decisiveness and even a hockey pedigree LaFontaine was seeking in a general manager. The 50-year-old Murray is the nephew of Senators general manager Bryan Murray, and has spent much of his 20 years in the NHL being mentored by his uncle, including the past seven in Ottawa as an assistant GM. "I think we have the next great eye for talent," LaFontaine said. "Hes earned it. Hes done every job to get to this point. Hes had success everywhere hes been. And hes going to have success here in Buffalo." Patrick assumes a role similar to the one he held the previous two seasons with the Columbus Blue Jackets. Its LaFontaines belief that Patricks 30-plus years of experience -- including 17 with the Pittsburgh Penguins -- can provide focus to a team in transition after general manager Darcy Regier and first-year coach Ron Rolston were fired in mid-November. "Craigs going to help evaluate. Hes got the experience," LaFontaine said. "Hes won Stanley Cups. Hes gone through rebuilds." The Sabres front-office has begun taking shape in the two months since LaFontaine took over. "Im on a mission to bring the right people here," LaFontaine said. "Im still not done. We still have a lot of work." Now comes improving the team on the ice, which sits last in the NHL with 12-26-4 record entering its home game against Florida on Thursday night. Though Buffalo has shown improvement in going 8-11-3 under interim coach Ted Nolan, Murray made clear he has plenty of work to do. Murray intends to continue the process begun under Regier by building through the draft. And he wont be averse to trading any of Buffalos remaining core players -- including goalie Ryan Miller. "This teams in last place right now," Murray said. "Everybody can be traded." Miller, along with captain Steve Ottt and newly acquired forward Matt Moulson, are in the final year of their contracts. Alex Tuch Jersey. Another issue is the status of Nolan, who was hired by LaFontaine with the opportunity to continue on as coach once the new GM was hired. Murray is open to working with Nolan beyond this season. "Its a clean slate here," Murray said. "Theres no preconceived notions. Hes the coach of the hockey team, and Im looking forward to getting to know him." Nolan, who is back for a second stint in Buffalo, said he had no input on Murrays hiring, and is eager to getting to know his new boss. "My status has always been the same since Pat asked me to come here," Nolan said. "Im here to coach this team as best as I can. Im not worried about tomorrow, Im just worried about here today." Murray believes the Sabres have several pieces already in place, including a large stock of high draft picks and up-and-coming prospects in their system. "The cupboards not bare," Murray said. "This was an attractive, attractive time for me to just branch out on my own and try to put my stamp on the game of hockey." The Sabres could have as many as two first-round and three second-round selections in this years draft. The Sabres also have a solid group of prospects in their farm system. They include defencemen Rasmus Ristolainen and Nikita Zadorov, who were both drafted in the first round in June. Murray has a solid track record as a talent evaluator, and has had input in numerous personnel decisions during his previous stops in Detroit, Florida, Anaheim and the New York Rangers. In Anaheim, he had a hand in the Ducks selecting future star forwards Ryan Getzlaf and Corey Perry in the first round of the 2003 draft. "I would consider myself somewhat aggressive," Murray said of his philosophy. "I dont think it takes you two days to make a decision or two weeks to make a decision." Thats a departure from the conservative approach the Sabres took under Regier, who was criticized for being overly cautious when it came to shaking up his roster. Murrays decisiveness and directness is what owner Terry Pegula was seeking in his new GM. As for Patrick, Pegula has been a long-time fan of the executive he first got to know in Pittsburgh. "Craigs a smart man," Pegula said. "Hes probably forgotten more than most people know about hockey."
