A pre-dawn fire destroyed Miami Heat coach Erik Spoelstra’s home Thursday, despite more than 20 units battling flames “as tall as the trees.” No one was inside and no injuries were reported. Spoelstra, flying back from Denver, arrived to find the property engulfed, at times holding his head as cameras rolled. Reported at 4:36 a.m., the blaze was contained around 8 a.m., with crews dousing hotspots into the afternoon. Investigators are probing the cause, a process that can take weeks. Spoelstra plans to coach Friday’s home game against the Charlotte Hornets, the team said.
