The Heat won 121-119 in overtime. - Reuters pic, December 24, 2013.LeBron James scored 38 points with eight rebounds and six assists to lead the Miami Heat to a 121-110 victory over Atlanta in an NBA overtime thriller yesterday.

Michael Beasley added two crucial free throws with less than 10 seconds to play, giving the Heat a lead they wouldn't relinquish.

Neither team led by more than three points in overtime. Miami trailed 119-116 when Chris Anderson's layup with 1:08 left in the extra period narrowed the gap to 119-118.

Kyle Korver and Paul Millsap both missed three-point attempts for the Hawks and on the ensuing Heat possession James got a pass to a driving Beasley who was fouled.

Beasley made both free throws to put the reigning NBA champion Heat ahead by one point.

Out of a timeout, Atlanta's rookie big man Pero Antic inbounded from the left sideline and lobbed the ball to Korver who was denied at the rim. Anderson grabbed the rebound and was fouled, making one more free throw with three-tenths of a second left to account for the final margin.

Ray Allen, starting in place of injured Heat star Dwyane Wade, scored 19 points and calmly drained three free throws to knot the score at 111-111 with less than 10 seconds left in regulation, sending the game into overtime.

Anderson scored 12 points and Beasley added 10 for the Heat, who notched their fifth straight win. - AFP, December 24, 2013.

Tottenham appoint Sherwood as head coach

Tim Sherwood (pic) was yesterday appointed head coach of Tottenham with a contract to the end of the 2014-2015 season, the Premier League club announced.

Sherwood had been named as interim coach after Andre Villas-Boas was sacked earlier in December following a 5-0 defeat to Liverpool.

"Following the departure of Andre Villas-Boas, the Club can announce that Tim Sherwood has been appointed Head Coach with a contract to the end of the 2014/15 season," said a club statement.

The 44-year-old Sherwood had overseen a 3-2 over Southampton on Sunday.

Chris Ramsey, Les Ferdinand and Steffen Freund will work alongside the former England international midfielder.

"We were extremely reluctant to make a change mid-season, but felt we had to do so in the club's best interests," said Spurs chairman Daniel Levy.

"We have a great squad and we owe them a head coach who will bring out the best in them and allow them to flourish and enjoy a strong, exciting finish to the season.

"We are in the fortunate position of having within our club a talented coach in Tim Sherwood.

"We believe Tim has both the knowledge and the drive to take the squad forward."

Sherwood played 93 matches for Spurs between 1999 and 2003 and also turned out for Blackburn, Norwich, Portsmouth, Watford and Coventry before hanging up his boots in 2005.

He made his mark on Sunday when recalled striker Emmanuel Adebayor, left out in the cold by Villas-Boas, scored twice.

The win left Tottenham in seventh place, four points off the Champions League places.

Sherwood had said after Sunday's game that he wanted his future sorted out as soon as possible.

"What would be ideal for me would be to have a chat with the chairman and see what's best for the football club moving forward," he said.

"I need to know what they're thinking. I don't want this job for five minutes. That's no interest to me. Are we going to move it forward or not?

"It's a massive club with history and tradition. But whatever happens needs to be right for me, too.

"Andre has left the club in a good state. There's nothing wrong with the job he's done. Top of the league in the European competition (Europa League)."

A host of names had been linked with the Tottenham job including Ajax boss Frank De Boer, Guus Hiddink, Fabio Capello and Glenn Hoddle.

Capello is on the verge of signing a new deal to stay with the Russian national team until the 2018 World Cup. - AFP, December 24, 2013.
