Trail Blazers-Heat Preview

The Eastern Conference-leading Miami Heat continue to roll with LeBron James playing at the highest of levels.

He wasn't very efficient against the Portland Trail Blazers last month.

Looking to continue its home dominance of Western Conference foes, Miami tries to match its longest winning streak of the season Tuesday night against a Portland team that's taken four straight in South Beach.

The Heat (34-14) have strung together five consecutive wins by an average of 11.6 points thanks in large part to James. The three-time NBA MVP became the third player in league history score at least 30 and shoot at least 60 percent in five straight contests Sunday, posting 32 points on 12-of-18 from the field in a 107-97 victory over the Los Angeles Lakers.

"Don't take it for granted," coach Erik Spoelstra said. "He's making greatness look easy."

Shooting a career-best 56.2 percent, James has shot an even more impressive 71.4 percent over the last five games for Miami, which is looking to win six straight for the third time this season.

"I go out and just play my game," James said. "However the game is played, I try to take its course. Offensively, I'm just comfortable, confident in my ability. ... I just try to make plays for us to win, that's what ultimately it's all about."

The Heat have proven especially formidable at home, where they've compiled a 22-3 record while averaging 107.0 points. Miami has also had its way against the West, going 18-5, including 11-1 on its own court.

"We just try to go out and play our game each and every night, no matter if it's an Eastern Conference team or a Western Conference team," James said. "We understand we got another really good team coming into our building on Tuesday in Portland, and we're looking forward to that one, too."

The Heat enter Tuesday with revenge on their minds after blowing a 12-point lead with under eight minutes to go in a 92-90 loss at Portland on Jan. 10. James had 10 rebounds and nine assists but shot a season-worst 6-of-16 (37.5 percent) to finish with 15 points. That is the only time in his last 69 games, which includes the playoffs, he scored fewer than 20.

Portland (25-26) could have a hard time keeping up this time around if its recent efforts are any indication. Since opening a six-game road trip with last Monday's 100-98 win over Minnesota, the Blazers have allowed an average of 111.0 points in losing three straight.

Portland's woes continued Sunday in a 110-104 loss to Orlando, which had dropped 12 straight and 23 of 25. LaMarcus Aldridge had 25 points but rookie Damian Lillard was limited to a season-low four on 1-of-16 shooting.

Lillard, who did have a season-best 12 assists, had averaged 21.4 points over his previous five games for the Blazers, who were outrebounded by the Magic 50-38 and outscored 60-46 in the paint.

"A team like us can't afford to get out played," J.J. Hickson said. "We haven't had that edge that we have had throughout the season."

The Blazers, losers of seven of eight in opposing arenas, conclude their trek Wednesday at New Orleans.

"Miami will be a tough one and New Orleans plays well at home also. It is not like we can't win the next two games and finish this trip at .500," Lillard said. "There are things that we can fix. If things were going south, that means guys are not playing hard and we think that we are better than we are."

In addition to trying to contain James, Portland could have a hard time slowing down Dwyane Wade, who's averaging 27.0 points - 5.9 more than his season mark - over his last three games.

The Blazers have limited the Heat to an average of 94.5 points during their four-game road winning streak.

LeBron sets mark, Heat top Blazers 117-104

MIAMI (AP) It's not the type of streak that LeBron James ever thought about, this run of putting together at least 30 points and 60 percent shooting in six straight games.

Still, it's something he'll savor. He's rolling right now, and so are the Miami Heat.

James scored 30 points on 11 for 15 shooting to get into the NBA record books, Chris Bosh scored 32 points and grabbed 11 rebounds, and the Heat wound up beating the Portland Trail Blazers 117-104 in a wild, momentum-swinging game on Tuesday night.

It was the 1,000th regular-season win in Heat history. But on this night, the only history anyone will remember was what James accomplished.

"I'm at a loss for words," James said in a televised postgame interview. "Like I say over and over, I know the history of the game. I know how many unbelievable players who came through the ranks, who paved the way for me and my teammates. And for me to be in the record books by myself with such a stat - any stat - it's big-time."

Dwyane Wade added 24 points for Miami, which wasted a pair of 14-point leads - then put the game away with a 14-0 run in the final minutes. Ray Allen added 14 for Miami.

Damian Lillard had a game-high 33 points for Portland, which got 29 from LaMarcus Aldridge and 20 from Wesley Matthews.

Just like the Heat, the Blazers also saw a 14-point lead slip away in the game, and then simply got shut down late by a stretch of airtight Miami defense.

"That was typical Miami Heat stuff," Lillard said. "Transition, finishing strong around the rim, and LeBron picking defenses apart."

James has made 66 of his past 92 shots, over the past six games - and is an absurd 60 for 80, or 75 percent, in his last 188 minutes of court time. According to the Heat, only Adrian Dantley and Moses Malone had done the 30-point, 60-percent streak in five straight outings before James joined their club.

Now he stands alone.

"That's why he is who he is," Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. "The best player in the game."

Added Wade: "Obviously he is doing something that is amazing and special."

And on a night where the teams took turns putting together big runs, it was the Heat who had the last rally - ultimately, the last laugh as well.

With the game tied at 99-all, James drove baseline on former Cleveland teammate Sasha Pavlovic for a two-handed slam that he punctuated with a long scream.

The Heat immediately responded. Matthews made a 3-pointer on the next Portland possession to give the Trail Blazers their last lead. Miami scored the next 14 points, and when James got loose for a dunk with 2:38 remaining, history was his - the first stretch of six straight 30-point games on 60 percent or better shooting in each outing.

"He played a very good basketball game," Spoelstra deadpanned afterward. "That's all you're going to get out of me right now. He competes. He loves to compete. He loves close games. ... And he's leading us, not just with his talent."

Bosh made a jumper with 1:55 left to end the run and seal the win, Miami's sixth straight overall.

Miami next plays Thursday night in Oklahoma City, an NBA Finals rematch before heading into the All-Star break. The Heat topped the Thunder in the first meeting of the clubs this season, winning in Miami on Christmas Day.

"It's a game we'll look forward to," Wade said.

A glance at the halftime boxscore - Portland 59, Miami 58 - would have suggested the opening two quarters were closely contested, back-and-forth basketball.

Not exactly.

There were deep and dramatic shifts in momentum, with James and Aldridge simply taking over play for long stretches in the early going.

Miami started with a flurry, hitting its first seven shots and doing so with James collecting five assists in the game's first 3:52. The Heat led 14-5 after that burst, and were still shooting 75 percent with a minute to go in the opening quarter.

They also were trailing at that point. The Blazers were doing anything they wanted on the offensive end.

"I thought it was a good effort by our team," Blazers coach Terry Stotts said. "Miami's one of the best if not the best team in the league right now and they are playing at a high level. We matched it for about 44 minutes."

More than matched it for a while, too.

Aldridge went on a personal 13-0 run over a stretch of nearly four minutes midway through the half, single-handedly seeming to turn what was a 29-24 Portland deficit into a 37-29 Portland lead. And another quick burst, this time a 10-1 run by the Blazers, gave the visitors what was their biggest lead, 57-43 with 4:48 left in the half.

Take away Miami's sizzling start, and the Blazers outscored the Heat 52-29 over a huge swath of the first half. Of course, by the break, everything looked just about even. James scored 10 points in a 15-2 Miami run to end the half, and the Blazers' lead was down to a single point at intermission.

It wound up as a 34-12 run by the Heat in all, as Miami rebuilt what became a 14-point lead midway through third.

Predictably, the Blazers came back. Lillard scored nine points in the final 4:36 of the third, and the Miami lead was down to 86-82 entering the fourth after James waited too long to shoot a beat-the-clock 30-footer that went in anyway.

But down the stretch, it was all Miami.

"I thought one of the biggest differences were the 50-50 balls," Lillard said. "A few went their way. And they made us pay."

NOTES: It was the 25th time Lillard scored more than 20 points this season, adding to his rookie-of-the-year credentials. ... Aldridge has at least 11 field goals in each of his past five games. ... The Heat were without Mike Miller, the latest victim of the flu bug that has ripped through the locker room, and lost starting forward Udonis Haslem to a lower-leg contusion in the opening quarter. X-rays on Haslem's shin were negative.

Notebook: Heat 117, Trail Blazers 104

Zachary Paul, for NBA.com
Posted Tue Feb 12, 2013 11:50 PM - Updated Tue Feb 12, 2013 11:50 PM

THE FACTS: The Miami Heat defeated the Portland Trail Blazers 117-104 Tuesday at AmericanAirlines Arena.

LeBron James continued his impressive stretch, finishing with 30 points, nine assists and six rebounds. James became the first player in league history to score 30 points while shooting 60 percent in six consecutive games, surpassing Adrian Dantley and Moses Malone.

James finished 11-for-15 from the field. He has now made 60 of his last 80 shot attempts. The Heat trailed by 14 in the first half before going on a 38-10 run during the course of the second and third quarters.

After building a 14-point lead, the Trail Blazers made a strong push early in the fourth. A Jared Jeffries free throw tied the score at 88. Portland then built a five-point lead, 95-90, before the Heat tied it and put things away with a 10-0 run.

Center Chris Bosh led the Heat with 32 points and 11 rebounds while guard Dwyane Wade finished with 24 points, nine rebounds and seven assists.

Guard Damian Lillard led the Blazers with 33 points.

QUOTABLE: "They gave us everything they could for three quarters, and then we made some big defensive plays in the fourth quarter."

-- Heat coach Erik Spoelstra

THE STAT: James, Wade and Bosh combined for 86 points on 32-for-49 shooting.

TURNING POINT: After trailing by 14 in the second quarter, the Heat closed the half with a 15-2 run to get back into the game.

QUOTABLE II: "It was a LeBron James game. He did things when they needed to and he has been doing that for a while now. It is something people down here are getting used to seeing."

-- Blazers coach Terry Stotts

HOT: Another day, another big game from James. It's going to become tough for Spoelstra to find different ways to say James is a good player if this continues. He is in the midst of one of the most efficient stretches in league history.

NOT: The Blazers tandem of J.J. Hickson and LaMarcus Aldridge was supposed to give the Heat trouble on the boards, especially on the offensive end. But Miami, despite being without injured Udonis Haslem, was able to keep pace throughout.

GOOD MOVE: How about Spoelstra going more with Joel Anthony once Haslem left the game with a lower leg contusion in the first half? Anthony, who had fallen out of the rotation, provided the Heat with his usual "energy" minutes.

BAD MOVE: The Heat allowed James and Bosh to shoot at too high of a percentage. Both were able to hit tough shots, but the bulk of their production came on dunks, short jumpshots and easy layups.

NOTABLE: James recorded his sixth straight 30-point game. ... The Heat improved to 23-3 at home and 19-5 overall against Western Conference teams. ... Heat swingman Mike Miller did not play because of the flu. ... It was the Heat's 1,000th victory in franchise history.

UP NEXT: For the Heat, Thursday @ Oklahoma City, Feb. 20 @ Atlanta, Feb. 21 @ Chicago. For the Trail Blazers, Wednesday @ New Orleans, Tuesday vs. Phoenix, Feb. 22 @ L.A. Lakers.
