Spurs go up 3-0 on Blazers, Nets win
Print Edition
SAN Antonio put one foot into the NBA Western Conference finals with a 118-103 win at Portland on Saturday to take a 3-0 lead, while Brooklyn avoided slipping to the same deficit by defeating Miami.
Tony Parker scored 29 points for the Spurs by going 23 points up on the Trail Blazers in the first half, and controlled the game from there.
LaMarcus Aldridge had 21 points and 12 rebounds for the Portland, which pulled within eight points in the third quarter but couldn’t get any closer. The Blazers were hurt by 15 turnovers and only six points from their bench.
No NBA team has come back from a 0-3 deficit to win a seven-game series, suggesting San Antonio is bound for a Western Conference decider against either Oklahoma City or the Los Angeles Clippers. The Thunder leads 2-1.
The Blazers took a brief 13-12 lead midway through the first quarter but the Spurs surged to score 16 of the next 20 points to take a grip on the contest. Parker’s back-to-back 3-pointers gave the Spurs a 58-35 late first-half lead and they went into the break ahead 60-40.
Portland rallied to get the deficit back to manageable proportions at 68-60, but the Spurs kept the Blazers from coming any closer and led 83-69 going into the fourth, and they were not troubled in the last.
Brooklyn secured the win it badly needed by beating Miami 104-90, inflicting a first defeat on the Heat in this postseason and cutting the series deficit to 1-2. Joe Johnson scored 19 points and Andray Blatche had career playoff highs of 15 and 10 rebounds for the Nets.
Brooklyn, which swept Miami in the regular season, can tie the series with another home-court victory today.
Miami’s LeBron James scored 16 points in the first quarter but only two baskets for the rest of the game.
