Whiteside returns to starting lineup

Whiteside starts for Heat — and it's about time: And then Hassan started. It had to happen, of course. It's the right thing to do. It also means the Heat officially are in playoff mode, though it's an expensive loss (Los Angeles Lakers recently) or two (Orlando on Friday) too late. -- South Florida Sun-Sentinel

Heat rout Magic 118-96, stay alive for homecourt in playoffs: This why there has to be desperation for homecourt advantage in the first round of the NBA playoffs. Including Sunday night's 118-96 victory over the Orlando Magic, the Miami Heat ended their regular-season home schedule by winning 10 of their last 11 games at AmericanAirlines Arena. -- South Florida Sun-Sentinel

Heat make signing of guard Briante Weber official: The Miami Heat's roster is up to 14 players, on the way to the playoff maximum of 15, with the formality of Sunday's signing of D-League guard Briante Weber. -- South Florida Sun-Sentinel

Hassan Whiteside back as starter in Heat's win over Magic: He certainly didn't want to come off like he was complaining but before Friday's loss in Orlando, Heat center Hassan Whiteside admitted it hasn't been easy for him coming off the bench over the last two months. -- The Miami Herald

Heat top Magic in home regular-season finale, 118-96: The home finale was an easy win for the Miami Heat. Their playoff seed now hinges on what happens on the road. Luol Deng scored 20 points, Hassan Whiteside added 18 points and 15 rebounds in his first start since Jan. 20, and the Heat beat the Orlando Magic 118-96 on Sunday night. -- The Palm Beach Post

Whiteside returns to starting lineup, helps Miami Heat defeat Magic: The Heat didn't let the same mistake hurt them twice. Just two days after Miami was upset on the road in Orlando, it returned home and made things right. The Heat (47-33) avoided a second consecutive loss to a team that has been out of the Eastern Conference playoff race for months, defeating the Magic 118-96 at AmericanAirlines Arena on Sunday to close out the regular-season home schedule and keep their aspirations of earning home-court advantage for the first round within reach. -- The Palm Beach Post
