Preview Roundups
May 10, 2014
Miami at Brooklyn 8:00 PM ET
The Miami Heat are sailing through the postseason and can set a franchise record for consecutive playoff wins when they visit the Brooklyn Nets in Saturday’s Game 3. Miami’s two wins to open the Eastern Conference semifinals increased its playoff winning streak to eight games, matching a club mark reached on two previous occasions. Brooklyn swept the four regular-season matchups but faces a must-win game if it has any chance of making it a series.
San Antonio at Portland 10:30 PM ET
The Portland Trail Blazers are hoping a change of scenery will improve their chances in the Western Conference semifinals. The Trail Blazers will try to avoid falling into a 3-0 hole when they host the San Antonio Spurs in Game 3 on Saturday. The Spurs had little trouble winning the first two games while getting off to blazing starts in each and are averaging 115 points in the series behind sharp shooting and solid bench play.
