He didn’t return. … The Nuggets are 6-1 against Miami since O’Neal joined the Heat in 2004 and have won five straight against the 2006 NBA champions. … Heat coach Pat Riley is one win shy of 1,200 for his career. He has coached 1,838 games and will be the fastest NBA coach to reach the milestone. … Miami’s 4-12 start is its worst since the 2003-04 season. That team also started 4-12, but finished 42-40 and reached the Eastern Conference semifinals.
