Heat 94, Nets 82: LeBron James scored 22 points and Chris Bosh added 18 as host Miami slipped past Brooklyn to take a 2-0 lead in the Eastern Conference semifinals.

Dwayne Wade contributed 14 points, seven rebounds and seven assists and Ray Allen added 13 points and eight rebounds for the second-seeded Heat. Allen scored all of his points in the second half and made three 3-pointers for Miami, which will look to make it three straight wins when they visit the Nets on Saturday.

Mirza Teletovic made six 3-pointers en route to 20 points for sixth-seeded Brooklyn, which was outscored 25-15 in the fourth quarter. Shaun Livingston scored 15 points and Joe Johnson and Paul Pierce added 13 apiece.

The Nets trailed by two points after Marcus Thornton’s basket with 6:54 remaining before Miami took control with a 10-2 surge. The Heat struggled on the boards but grabbed three consecutive offensive rebounds before James drained a basket with 1:59 left to cap the burst, and Mario Chalmers drained a 3-pointer just over a minute later to seal it.

Teletovic made five first-half 3-pointers as Brooklyn held a 46-45 lead at the break. Miami went ahead at 61-58 on Allen’s 3-pointer with 3:04 left in the third quarter and took a 69-67 advantage into the final stanza.
