MIAMI -- Turns out, the Miami Heat can beat the Brooklyn Nets.
And rest hardly led to rust for the two-time defending NBA champions.
LeBron James scored 22 points, Ray Allen added 19 and the Heat stayed
perfect in this post-season by beating the Nets 107-86 on Tuesday night
in Game 1 of an Eastern Conference semifinal series. It was the first
win for Miami in five meetings with Brooklyn this season.
"Its one," Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. "But I liked the energy, the
activity."
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.
This one was a different story. A 24-9 run in the third quarter blew
things open for the Heat, who hadnt played in eight days after sweeping
Charlotte in the opening round.
"It was great that we were able to come out the way we did after being
off eight days," James said. "We got a lot of work in. We had eight days
off of not playing a basketball game but Spo got us in the gym. (We)
got each other in the gym. We made each other accountable throughout the
layoff and it proved tonight."
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.
Game 2 of the best-of-seven series is Thursday night.
"This is the defending champs," Nets coach Jason Kidd said. "Its always
going to be at a high level and weve got to find a way to match it."
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 from 3-point land.
"He was focused on the job at hand," James said.
Miamis lead was 55-52 early in the third quarter after a 3-pointer by
Williams, and every indication was that the Heat and Nets -- who played
three one-point games and a double-overtime affair in the regular season
-- were heading down to the wire again.
Not quite.
The Heat took off on the 24-9 run over a 7-minute span, with Bosh
scoring the first seven points of that burst to get Miami going. Allens
3-pointer pushed the lead to 14, James and Chris Andersen (who left in
the fourth with a right knee contusion) added two free throws apiece and
just like that Miamis lead was up to 79-61.
"Its fun when you win the game and you can at least for a night do
whatever it is you do, have some dinner, chill at home and exhale a
little bit," Bosh said. "When you lose, you cant sleep, your stomach
hurts and its not a very good situation."
For Brooklyn, the trouble came at an unexpected time. The Nets had the
best third-quarter scoring differential in the East after Jan. 1, but
were outscored 33-23 in that pivotal quarter in Game 1.
It was a hectic news day long before Heat-Nets, with Oklahoma Citys
Kevin Durant being announced as the leagues MVP, the firing of Golden
State coach Mark Jackson and the NBA saying that Los Angeles Clippers
president Andy Roeser would be taking an indefinite leave as part of the
fallout related to the Donald Sterling scandal.
James two-year reign as MVP lasted 198 games.
"We have a new MVP, but when you talk about the best players in the
world, hes 1A, 1B with Durant," Kidd said.
Pregame lineup moves by both clubs lent more intrigue. Miami brought
Shane Battier -- who played 2 minutes, total, in the first round against
Charlotte -- back into the starting five, while Brooklyn reinserted
Shaun Livingston into its lineup after using him off the bench late in
the Toronto series.
After never leading by more than seven points against Brooklyn in the
regular season, the Heat led by 11 after a drive by James with 3:32 left
in the first half. But the Nets closed on a 14-6 run, and Williams
first beat-the-clock 3-pointer of the game sent Brooklyn into halftime
down 46-43.
Williams did it again in the third, but that one only got Brooklyn
within 79-66.
"It came down to defence tonight," Williams said. "Our defensive game
plan was not executed at all."
NOTES: The Heat held a pregame moment of silence for Hall of Famer Jack
Ramsay, who died last week at the age of 89. ... David Beckham, who will
be bringing an MLS team to Miami, sat next to the Heat bench. ...
Livingston was on the court to warm up for the second half with about 10
minutes left in the intermission. Small problem: The rack of
basketballs wasnt on the court yet. ... The Nets are 1-9 all-time
against Miami in playoff games. ... Miami had not won consecutive Game
1s since the 2nd and 3rd rounds of the 2012 playoffs.

. In the days leading up to the draft, TSN.ca and TSN Radio basketball
analyst Duane Watson looks at some of the names that will be headlining
the event. Tonight, Michigans Nik Stauskas of Mississauga,
Ontario.MONTREAL -- Tournament director Eugene Lapierre called Agnieszka
Radwanska the "anti-star," and he meant it in a good way.
The right-hander, who won the US$2.44 million womens Rogers Cup with a
too-easy 6-4, 6-2 victory over Venus Williams on Sunday, is not flashy
on or off the court.
She is relentlessly efficient, a tireless returner of balls from the
baseline, with subtle changes of speed and spin that wear down
vulnerable opponents like Williams, who had worn her 34-year-old self
out with a stirring, three-set win over her top-ranked sister Serena
Williams in the semifinals.
The third-seeded Radwanska, the first Rogers Cup champion from Poland,
picked up her first tournament win of the year at the hardcourt event
and the $441,000 winners prize.
"She played great tennis the whole week, playing and beating a lot of
good players on the way to the final," Radwanska said of Williams, a
seven-time grand slam champion in her glory years. "I think I am even
more happy to beat Venus when shes really on fire."
Radwanska, ranked fifth in the world to Williams 26th, posted her first
Rogers Cup win after twice reaching the semifinals. It was her first
victory since 2013 at Seoul.
She was the best, most consistent player all week, mowing down Victoria
Azarenka in two sets in the quarter-finals before beating a hot
Ekaterina Makarova in two long sets in the semis.
"I think I was playing much better every match," the 25-year-old
Radwanska said. "I didnt start that well from my first match, but every
match was much better.
"Thats why I think Im sitting right here now with you (reporters). I was
feeling the balls much better."
The Krakow, Poland native shot off to a 4-1 lead, but Williams answered
with a break that had the centre court crowd on its feet as Radwanska
hit a drop shot, Williams dropped back, Radwanska hit a lob and Williams
got back in time to win the point with a cross-court slash.
Radwanska settled back in to finish the set and opened the second with a
service break. After Williams broke to tie it at 2-2, she gave the
break to Radwanska with a pair of double faults. Radwanska cruised the
rest of the way, punctuating her victory with an ace on match point.
Williams had an excellent week that will put her back into the world
top-20 starting Monday. Her six matches, four of them in three sets,
included wins over sixth-seeded Angelique Kerber and 14th-seeded Carla
Suarez Navarro.
But bbeating Radwanska required more energy and patience than she had
left for the final.dddddddddddd
"Against her, you really have to be patient," said Williams. "Today, I
just didnt have everything to be patient and really work the point.
"I wanted to give more, but I just didnt have it. It felt great to play
so well this week. I really would like to think under circumstances,
where I could give everything I have, that the results could have been a
little different."
She fell short in her bid to become the events oldest champion after
Martina Navratilova, who won 52 days before her 33rd birthday in 1989.
Still, Williams was upbeat about her game, which is on the rebound after
a few years of injuries and a battle with the auto-immune disease
Sjogrens Syndrome.
The five-time Wimbledon champion could even be a factor at the U.S. Open
that starts Aug. 25 in New York, where she won in 2000 and 2001.
"Its starting to come," she said. "Finding myself in all these different
situations where youre playing the world No. 1, youre in the
semifinals, youre in a final, Ive done it so many times, but I havent
done it in a while.
"Im so grateful just for everything. Its a whole new way of looking at
things now."
That includes not being upset at losing in the final, which earned her
$220,000.
"This week I was tired because I played so many matches," she added.
"Thats great for me.
"Instead of unreasonable fatigue thats unconquerable, just the opposite
really: a fatigue from too much success. Thats the positive. I ran out
of energy because I was winning too many matches. I havent had that
problem in a long time."
Williams has played the Rogers Cup in alternate years when it is held in
Toronto, but had never played it in Montreal. She became a fan
favourite and said she fell in love with the tournament and the city,
telling centre court fans she hopes to be back many more times.
She will be back in the region soon, as she plans to play the
lower-level Coupe Banque Nationale Sept. 6-14 in Quebec City.
In the doubles final, the top-ranked Italian duo of Sara Errani and
Roberta Vinci defeated Cara Black and Sania Mirza 7-6 (4), 6-3.
Organizers announced the tournament drew 181,996 spectators, topping the
previous high of 175,000. Sales were boosted by the recent success of
Eugenie Bouchard, but the Westmont, Que., native lost her first match on
Tuesday to Shelby Rogers.
