Even though the Miami Heat have won two NBA titles in the last six seasons, around here, the Dolphins still reign.

The Miami Dolphins barely edged the Heat for favorite local pro sports team in our Taking Your Pulse poll. The Dolphins had 32 percent of the vote, while the Heat had 30 percent.

The third-place finisher was also a bit of a surprise — the NHL’s Florida Panthers finished ahead of the Miami Marlins, 14 percent to the Marlins’ 11 percent. The Panthers have occasionally struggled to get big crowds at times, but perhaps their return to the postseason in 2011-12 has won them some new fans.

Our local minor league baseball teams, the Jupiter Hammerheads and Palm Beach Cardinals, finished in a tie for fifth at 4 percent.
