(SportsNetwork.com) - The Miami Heat will try to close out the Charlotte Bobcats Monday night in Game 4 of their Eastern Conference first round series. The Heat will look for the sweep and the Bobcats will go for their first-ever playoff victory. This is Charlottes second postseason appearance in the franchises history and the Bobcats were swept in four games by the Orlando Magic in 2010. In Saturdays Game 3, LeBron James showed why hes the games best player. James had 30 points, 10 rebounds and six assists and the Heat rolled to a 98-85 win. He was 10-for-18 from the floor, 9-for-10 on free throws and scored 28 of his 30 points in the first three quarters, including 12 in the third when the Heat stretched their lead to 26. "That greatness, we dont take it for granted," said Heat coach Erik Spoelstra. "He does it on a nightly basis. Sometimes he makes it look easy. He read the game extremely well -- when to be aggressive, when to turn it up and make plays and try to get into the paint." Before Saturdays Game 3, James showed why hes the games leading voice. James was one of the NBAs only major stars to come down hard on Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling for the racist comments allegedly caught on tape. "If the reports are true, its unacceptable in our league," James said before the game. "You just cant have that in our league." Dwyane Wade chipped in 17 points and six assists for the second-seeded Heat and Chris Andersen scored 12 off the bench. Chris Bosh, who hit a 3-pointer to put the stops on a 10-0 Bobcats run late in Game 2 on Wednesday, scored just eight on Saturday. Miami has beaten Charlotte 19 straight times, including the three wins in this series. Al Jefferson played again despite suffering a plantar fascia strain in his left foot in Game 1 and led the Bobcats with 20 points -- but scored just five after the first quarter (he and three other Charlotte starters sat out the entire fourth). "They made it tough to be able to get him the ball," said Josh McRoberts, who scored 13 points two days after he was fined $20,000 for elbowing James in the neck in Game 2. "Theyre the best team in the NBA defensively by a long shot in terms of the athletes they put on the court." Head coach Steve Clifford stated that Jefferson is doubtful to play Game 4 and if Jefferson couldnt go, Bismack Biyombo would start in his place Chris Douglas-Roberts contributed 17 points off the bench for Charlotte, followed by 13 from Kemba Walker. The Heat took the lead for good with a 23-7 run late in the second quarter and led by double digits throughout the second half. Charlotte and Miami rested key players over the final 12 minutes and the Bobcats cut the final deficit to 13. If needed, Game 5 will be Wednesday night in South Beach.

You dont try to lose games.Boston, MA (SportsNetwork.com) - Dougie Hamiltons wrister 3:39 into overtime gave the Boston Bruins a 2-1 win over the Winnipeg Jets. Tuukka Rask made 35 saves for the Bruins, who snapped a brief two-game losing streak. Hamilton also assisted on Milan Lucics fifth goal of the season early in the third period. Carl Soderberg recorded an assist on both markers. Dustin Byfuglien scored for Winnipeg, which got 36 saves from Michael Hutchinson. Late in OT, the Bruins skated in on a 3-on-2 rush with Soderberg leading the charge. He slid a pass to Hamilton trailing the play, and the former first round pick beat Hutchinson high. Earlier, the Jets took a 1-0 lead with a power-play goal at 16:24 of the first.ddddddddddddAfter Byfugliens initial shot from the left circle was denied by Rask, Evander Kane came up with the loose puck and fed him near the blue line. Byfuglien benefited from a screen in front and slid a wrister past Rask. Lucic tied it early in the third when his give-and-go with Soderberg resulted in a tip-in past Hutchinson.
