MIAMI -- Strange as it sounds, missing shots worked wonders for the Miami Heat. And after the Brooklyn Nets went nearly 2 minutes -- a basketball eternity -- without the ball down the stretch, the two-time defending NBA champions would soon find themselves two wins from another trip to the Eastern Conference finals. LeBron James scored 22 points, Chris Bosh added 18 and the Heat pulled away late to beat the Nets 94-82 on Thursday night, taking a 2-0 lead in the East semifinals. "To be able to get some stops like that at the end, and then execute, its something thats critical in this series," Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. Dwyane Wade had 14 and Ray Allen scored 13 for the Heat, who tied a franchise record with their eighth straight playoff victory. Theyll go for No. 9 on Saturday night, when the best-of-seven series shifts to Brooklyn for Game 3. For the second straight game, Miami had five players in double figures. "Thats what our team is all about," James said. "We dont really care who scores." Mirza Teletovic set a Nets playoff record with six 3-pointers, on his way to a 20-point night off the bench. Shaun Livingston scored 15, and Paul Pierce and Joe Johnson each added 13 more for the Nets. Deron Williams was 0 for 9 from the field, the worst shooting night of his career. "That one hurt," Nets coach Jason Kidd said. "We were right there. We gave ourselves, on the road, an opportunity against the world champs. We let the game slip away. That one possession when they got four offensive rebounds, it didnt lose the game for us." It was three rebounds, but no matter. It was still a backbreaker for the Nets. Teletovic scored inside with 3:39 left to get Brooklyn within eight. For the next 100 seconds, Miami kept possession. James missed a 3-pointer, and Allen -- who led Miami with eight rebounds -- manoeuvred his way around four Nets to grab the rebound. James missed again, and Wade grabbed that board. James missed a layup, but Bosh controlled that board. And finally, almost mercifully, Wade found James for a layup with 1:59 remaining. The lead was 10, the outcome decided. "That was a killer," Johnson said. Wade had just six points in the games first 37 minutes, then eight more in the next three, setting the tone for a grind-it-out fourth quarter from Miami. "Youve got to do the little things until you get your opportunity," said Wade, who finished with seven rebounds and seven assists. "Thats what I was able to do." The Heat led 79-77 when Brooklyns Marcus Thornton missed a 3-pointer with 6:21 left -- which, had it gone down, would have had the Heat facing a fourth-quarter deficit for the first time in these playoffs. But it missed. And thats when the Heat found separation for the first time all night, at the most critical point. James was in trouble with less than 4 seconds on the shot clock and still found a way to get a bounce pass out to Mario Chalmers in the left corner for a 3-pointer. James passed on the fadeaway, deciding it would be a bad shot, and made the decision to send the ball to Chalmers. "Just get it there," James said he was thinking. He got the pass there, Chalmers made the shot, and after a stop on the ensuing Brooklyn trip, Allen hit from the same spot as Chalmers for an 85-77 lead. "As the game wore on we started picking up the pace," Allen said. "We started to getting how we play basketball." Teletovic kept the Nets afloat. He made his first four 3-pointers, needing less than six minutes to do so after checking in for the first time late in the opening quarter. He had 15 points on 5-for-7 shooting from beyond the arc by halftime alone, a boost that Brooklyn definitely needed. And his shots came at big times. Of Teletovics five 3s in the first half, three broke ties. His sixth 3 of the game, late in the third, tied the game at 61. But in the end, Miami was too much. "This series is far from over," Johnson said.

The Tigers (10-2, 7-1 SEC) sewed up their second consecutive SEC East title by scoring 18 unanswered points -- 15 of which came in the final quarter -- to overcome a 14-3 first-half deficit and run their winning streak to six games. Mauk threw a 4-yard touchdown pass to Jimmie Hunt to cap a 98-yard series that tied the game with 12:41 left, with Marcus Murphy putting Missouri ahead on a 12-yard run with 4:38 remaining. Mauk completed 25-of-42 attempts with an interception and the one touchdown, while Bud Sasser caught nine passes for 127 yards and threw for a key 2-point conversion that aided the comeback. Russell Hansbrough added 91 rushing yards on 20 carries, and Missouris defense pitched a shutout in the second half to deny Arkansas (6-6, 2-6) a third straight win over a ranked opponent. Brandon Allen tossed a pair of touchdown passes prior to halftime, but the Razorbacks were held to 122 total yards over the final two quarters. Allen finished just 13-of-30 for 133 yards. Jonathan Williams ran for 72 yards and had a 23-yard touchdown reception for Arkansas. Limited to a pair of field goals by an Arkansas defense that was coming off back-to-back shutouts over LSU and Ole Miss in its previous two outings, Missouris offense sprung to life after getting the ball on its own 2-yard line while down 14-6 late in the third quarter. A 44-yard deep strike from Mauk to Hunt on 3rd-and-7 into Arkansas territory got the Tigers untracked, and Sasser hauled in a 28-yard pass down the sideline before being pushed out at the 4-yard line later on the drive. Two plays afterward, Hunt wrestled the ball from a defender in the end zone to get Missouri within two points. Sasser then took a reverse pitch on the conversion attempt and hit an uncovered Darius White to knot the score at 14-14. Arkansas generated little before punting the ball away once again, and Missouri powered its way to a 12-play, 85-yard sequence behind strong running from Hansbrough and Murphy. The two backs combined for 84 yards on the go-ahead drive, with Hansbrough converting a crucial 4th-and-1 and Murphy spinning off a defender on a shotgun draw to give the Tigers their first lead of the day with a 12-yard scamper with 4:38 to go. Missouris Shane Ray kept the Razorbacks hopes alive by hitting Allen after the whistle on a 4th-and-8 situation on the ensuing possesssion, and Arkansas converted another fourth down on Hunter Henrys 9-yard catch that moved the ball to the Tigers 37.dddddddddddd Alex Collins had the ball jarred loose by Kentrell Brothers following Henrys grab, however, with Markus Golden recovering for Missouri before the Tigers ran off the remaining time. Allen at first showed no lingering effects from the hip injury that knocked him out in the first half of last weeks 38-0 rout of Ole Miss, as the junior quarterback made good on 5-of-6 throws on Arkansas opening series to get the Razorbacks off to a quick start. The last of those attempts was a play-action toss on third down to a wide-open Williams, who raced 23 yards into the end zone to put Arkansas up 7-0 midway through the first quarter. Missouri responded with a methodical 17-play march that culminated in Andrew Baggetts career-long 52-yard field goal early in the second quarter, but the Tigers mustered only one first down over their next three possessions as the Razorbacks increased the margin. Jared Cornelius 35-yard punt return that followed the second of those stalled drives set Arkansas up at the Tigers 31, and Allen capitalized on the excellent field position soon afterward with a 12-yard strike to Keon Hatcher that extended the lead to 14-3. Arkansas appeared to have a chance to tack on a few more points when Trey Flowers sacked Mauk and caused a fumble that Taiwan Johnson pounced on at the Missouri 19 late in the first half. A replay review ruled Mauks arm to be going forward for an incomplete pass, however, to allow the Tigers to keep the ball. Mauk scrambled 13 yards on the next play to convert a third down, and a 9-yard catch by Murphy on 3rd-and-9 later on put Baggett in range for a 50-yard field goal that pulled Missouri within 14-6 at halftime. Baggett had a 35-yard try blocked midway through the third quarter, but Missouri stopped the Razorbacks on downs after the change to stay within one score.
