LEBRON James scored 31 points, but the other members of Miami's new All-Star trio struggled as the Heat lost 88-80 to the Boston Celtics in yesterday's NBA season opener.
Dwyane Wade was limited to 13 points on 4-of-16 shooting and Chris Bosh added just eight points and eight rebounds. The star trio combined for 15 of the Heat's 17 turnovers - eight by James, six by Wade and one by Bosh.
Ray Allen led Boston with 20 points, Paul Pierce scored 19 and Kevin Garnett had 10 points and 10 rebounds. Those three joined together in 2007 and led the Celtics to the NBA title that season - providing the model for what Miami is trying to achieve this season.
Boston led 16-9 after one quarter, the first time since March 15, 2009 that the Heat scored nine points or fewer in a period.
Lakers 112, Rockets 110
In Los Angeles, newcomer Steve Blake hit the go-ahead 3-pointer with 18.8 seconds left as Los Angeles opened the defense of its back-to-back NBA titles with a victory over Houston.
Kobe Bryant scored 27 points, while Pau Gasol had 29 points and 11 rebounds for the Lakers, who hung the golden banner celebrating their 16th NBA championship and handed out their rings in a pregame ceremony.
The champs then fell behind by 15 points before rallying for a fourth-quarter lead behind Shannon Brown's 3-point barrage.
The lead changed hands four times in the final minute, but Houston's Luis Scola missed a difficult scoop shot with 3 seconds left, and Aaron Brooks' layup attempt at the buzzer was blocked.
Trail Blazers 106, Suns 92
In Portland, Nicolas Batum scored 19 points, including three late 3-pointers, and had 11 rebounds to lead Portland to a season-opening victory over Phoenix.
Brandon Roy scored 24 points for the Blazers, who fell to the Suns in the first round of the playoffs last season.
Steve Nash had 26 points for the Suns, who trailed most of the first half before going ahead in the third quarter.
Scores were locked 86-86 with 8:15 to go. Batum hit a 3-pointer and a jumper to make it 97-91 with 3:14 left, and sank two further long shots.
