GLEN Davis filled in for Kevin Garnett to lead the Boston Celtics to a 106-77 victory over the Miami Heat yesterday and a 2-0 lead in their playoff series.
With Garnett serving a one-game suspension for elbowing Quentin Richardson in Game 1, Davis started and had 23 points and eight rebounds, going aggressively to the basket to grab missed shots and draw fouls.
The Heat took a 29-25 lead on a dunk by Jermaine O'Neal. But the Celtics used a 44-8 surge over the next 16? minutes to go ahead 69-37, capped by one of Ray Allen's five 3-pointers in the third quarter. Allen led the Celtics with 25 points, while Dwyane Wade scored 29 for the Heat.
Game 3 is Friday night in Miami.
Hawks 96, Bucks 86
At Atlanta, Joe Johnson took control in the fourth quarter to finish off a 27-point effort and Josh Smith finished one assist short of a triple-double as Atlanta downed Milwaukee.
The Hawks took care of business on their home court. They'll head to Milwaukee on Saturday with a commanding 2-0 lead, the first time they've won the first two in a best-of-seven series since 1970.
Smith had 21 points, 14 rebounds and nine assists - not to mention two steals and two blocks. He had the crowd on its feet with four thunderous dunks and a couple more above-the-rim layins. Center Al Horford was nearly as dominant, scoring 20 points, snatching down 10 rebounds and blocking three shots.
John Salmons scored 21 points, and Ersan Ilyasova came up big off the bench with 13 points and 15 rebounds. But rookie Brandon Jennings, after scoring 34 points in Game 1, managed only nine points on 3-of-15 shooting.
