THE ageless Ray Allen scored 23 points, and broke the National Basketball Association career-playoff mark for 3-pointers, as the Miami Heat used another of their patented runs to win 104-91 at the Milwaukee Bucks on Thursday for a 3-0 lead in their first-round series.
In the other playoff games, the Chicago Bulls held off the Brooklyn Nets 79-76 to take a 2-1 lead, while the Memphis Grizzlies got the win they needed, beating the Los Angeles Clippers 94-82 to cut their series deficit to 2-1.
Miami can complete a sweep in Game 4 tomorrow at the Bradley Center. No team has ever overcome a 0-3 deficit to win a series in the NBA playoffs.
Allen's five 3-pointers against the Bucks gave him 322 for his career, two more than Reggie Miller. LeBron James added 22 points in his standard strong performance for the Heat, and Chris Bosh had 16 points and 14 rebounds.
"That's been our calling card all year, the depth that we have," said Allen. "As a team, you've got to find ways to plug in the holes, and every night we find somebody different."
Dwyane Wade scored only four points, but had 11 assists.
"I shot the ball terrible," said Wade, who is still nursing a bruised right knee. "But we played a good game. As a team, we showed a lot of guts, a lot of grit. There's nothing as satisfying as winning a Game 3 on the road."
Larry Sanders and Brandon Jennings led the Bucks with 16 points each.
