Heat, Spurs begin 2nd round in style
DEFENDING champion Miami and perennial power San Antonio asserted their claims to the National Basketball Association title with authoritative home wins on Tuesday in the opening games of their second-round playoff series.
Miami was too good for its bogey team Brooklyn, beating the Nets 107-86, while San Antonio led from start to finish in beating Portland 116-92.
LeBron James scored 22 points and Ray Allen added 19 as Miami remained undefeated this postseason.
Brooklyn had beaten the Heat narrowly in all four of their previous meeting this season.
Chris Bosh scored 15 points and grabbed 11 rebounds, Dwyane Wade finished with 14 points and Mario Chalmers had 12 for Miami, which recorded at least one regular-season win against every team except Brooklyn, losing four times by a total of 12 points.
Deron Williams and Joe Johnson scored 17 points each for the Nets, who got only eight from Paul Pierce and no points from Kevin Garnett in 16 minutes.
A 24-9 run in the third quarter blew things open for the Heat, who hadn’t played in eight days after sweeping Charlotte in the opening round. James finished 10 for 15 from the field and Allen — who had never faced his former Boston “Big 3” compatriots Pierce and Garnett in the playoffs — was 4 of 7 in 3 pointers.
San Antonio’s Tony Parker had 33 points and nine assists as the Spurs bullied a younger Trail Blazers team in Texas.
Kawhi Leonard had 16 points and Tim Duncan added 12 points and 11 rebounds for the Spurs, who beat the Dallas Mavericks in the first round.
LaMarcus Aldridge had 32 points and 14 rebounds and Damian Lillard had 17 points for the Trail Blazers, but the All-Star duo, who bossed the Houston Rockets in the previous series, combined for just 17 points in the first half.
