Warriors rally...Heat beat Raptors in OT

UNDATED (AP) — The Golden State Warriors have been treating NBA fans to an aerial show this season as they drain a ridiculous number of 3-pointers. They added a high-wire act last night by storming back from a nine-point deficit in the final nine minutes of a 110-99 win over the Portland Trail Blazers.

Klay Thompson hit back-to-back 3-pointers to put the Warriors ahead to stay. Thompson finished with five treys and scored a game-high 27 points to help the Warriors take a 2-0 lead in the Western Conference semifinals.

Draymond Green contributed 17 points, 14 rebounds and seven assists to the comeback win.

The Blazers jumped out to a 19-5 lead and led by 17 early in the second quarter before fading. They allowed Golden State to outscore them 34-12 in the final period.

Damian Lillard hit six 3-pointers and had a team-high 25 points for the Trail Blazers, who don't host Game 3 until Saturday.

The Miami Heat have opened their Eastern Conference semifinal series with a road win at Toronto.

Dwyane Wade scored seven of his 24 points in overtime as the Heat outlasted the Raptors 102-96. The Miami guard clinched the victory by converting a 3-point play with 1.8 seconds left, moments after Jonas Valanciunas hit a slam to get Toronto within three.

Goran Dragic had a team-high 26 points for the Heat, who have won three straight since coming within one loss of elimination.

Raptors guard Kyle Lowry forced OT by draining a 3-pointer from halfcourt to end regulation, but he finished with just seven points on 3 of 13 shooting. Valanciunas finished with 24 points and 14 rebounds for the Raptors, while DeMar DeRozan added 22 points.

Game 2 is Thursday at Toronto.

NBA-HEAT-BOSH

Bosh with team, not playing

TORONTO (AP) — Miami Heat forward Chris Bosh attended Game 1 of the team's Eastern Conference semifinal series in Toronto, although he remains on the inactive list.

Bosh has expressed a desire to return to action after missing the final 29 games of the regular season and Miami's first-round victory over Charlotte. The 11-time All-Star has not played since a blood clot was found in his left calf during February's All-Star break in Toronto.

NHL PLAYOFFS

Bolts outlast Isles in OT...Blues batter Stars...Preds top Sharks

UNDATED (AP) — The Tampa Bay Lightning have regained home-ice advantage in the second round of the Stanley Cup playoffs by winning in Brooklyn.

Brian Boyle scored 2:48 into overtime to give Tampa Bay a 5-4 victory and a two-games-to-one lead over the New York Islanders. Boyle's first career overtime playoff goal came after teammate Nikita Kucherov scored his league-leading seventh goal of the playoffs, beating Thomas Greiss with just 39 seconds left in regulation.

Victor Hedman collected a goal and two assists, while Ryan Callahan had one goal and one assist.

Ben Bishop stopped 35 shots in the Lightning's second consecutive win.

Josh Bailey scored twice for the Islanders, who host Game 4 on Friday.

St. Louis enjoyed a rare lopsided playoff win despite surrendering the game's first goal. Alex Steen and David Backes each scored twice and the Blues took a 2-1 lead in the Western Conference semifinals by whipping Dallas 6-1. St. Louis expanded a 2-1 lead by getting goals from Troy Brouwer and Vladimir Tarasenko 1:16 apart early in the second period.

Brian Elliott made 25 saves and was perfect after Colton Sceviour beat him 4:44 into the game.

The Stars will try to bounce back Thursday in St. Louis.

Nashville is within two games to one in its second-round series following a solid performance against the visiting San Jose Sharks. Shea Weber scored the game-winner in the second period and had an assist to lead the Predators' 4-1 victory over the Sharks. James Neal and Filip Forsberg notched power-play goals for the Predators, who trailed 1-0 heading into the middle period.

Pekka Rinne handled 26 shots and blanked San Jose following Patrick Marleau's goal late in the first period.

Game 4 is Thursday in Nashville.

Hartley led the Flames to a 45-30-7 record and third place in the Pacific Division a year ago.

He coached Colorado to the Stanley Cup championship in 2001.

Letang gets one-game suspension

The NHL has suspended Pittsburgh Penguins defenseman Kris Letang for Game 4 of the second-round series against Washington.

Letang was punished for making head contact while interfering with Capitals forward Marcus Johansson early in Pittsburgh's 3-2 win over the Capitals last night. Letang's shoulder drilled Johansson in the chest and chin well after the puck was gone.

The Pens lead the series 2-1 and will host Game 4 on Wednesday

Puerto Rico MLB series in doubt

MIAMI (AP) — A person familiar with the situation tells The Associated Press that there's a very good chance the Miami Marlins' two-game series against the Pittsburgh Pirates in Puerto Rico will not be held there because of concerns about the Zika virus. Player representative Tom Koehler says Marlins players attended a seminar on Zika that heightened concerns about playing the games in San Juan on May 30-31. Koehler added that an announcement regarding those games is expected by the end of the week.

Lawyers for the New England Patriots quarterback have been given another two weeks to appeal his "Deflategate" suspension. Brady could have until May 23 to decide whether to ask for a rehearing in front of the same three-judge panel or a new hearing in front of the entire 2nd circuit court.

Possibility of no NHL players in next Olympics

SOCHI, Russia (AP) — There appears to be a real chance that the best players in the world will not be taking part in the 2018 Winter Olympics in South Korea. The head of ice hockey's international body says there is a 60 percent chance that the NHL will decline to go to the Olympics because of a lack of money to cover player insurance and travel.

The International Olympic Committee has canceled its contribution to player travel and insurance costs, leaving a $10 million shortfall. NHL commissioner Gary Bettman says the league cannot cover the costs.
