Preview Roundups
April 23, 2014
Charlotte at Miami 7:00 PM ET
The status of center Al Jefferson is in limbo as the Charlotte Bobcats try to avoid digging themselves a deep hole against Miami when they visit the Heat in Wednesday’s Game 2 of the first-round Eastern Conference series. Jefferson suffered a plantar fasciitis injury to his left foot in the opening game of the series and plans on being cleared to play. “I’m suiting up,” Jefferson told reporters. “It will take more than that to make me sit down.”
Dallas at San Antonio 8:00 PM ET
After an impressive closing run in a Game 1 victory, the San Antonio Spurs look to ride the momentum into Game 2 of their best-of-seven playoff series with the Dallas Mavericks on Wednesday at home. The Mavericks were poised to pull off the series-opening upset, earning a 10-point lead midway through the fourth quarter, but the veteran Spurs absolutely dominated with a 19-4 finishing touch to pick up the 90-85 win. It was their 16th straight victory at home dating to the regular season.
Portland at Houston 9:30 PM ET
LaMarcus Aldridge has quite an act to follow up when the Portland Trail Blazers attempt to take a 2-0 lead when they visit the Houston Rockets in Wednesday’s Game 2 of the Western Conference playoff series. Aldridge put on the best performance in Portland’s playoff history with a franchise-record 46 points to go with 18 rebounds as the Trail Blazers recorded a 122-120 overtime win in the opener. Houston badly needs a win prior to the scene shifting to Portland for Game 3.
