Dwyane Wade turned in a vintage performance Andrew Billings Jersey , scoring 28 points to end the 76ers‘ 17-game winning streak and lead the Miami Heat to a 113-103 Game 2 win over Philadelphia on Monday night and even the first-round playoff series.

Playing without injured All-Star center Joel Embiid for the 10th straight game, the Sixers nearly pulled off an epic comeback and rallied from 16 down to just two points late in the fourth.

Philly fans were going wild and suddenly the home-court edge that had made the Sixers unbeatable for a month seemed like it would perk the team back up for one more notch on the winning streak.

Wade buried two big buckets down the stretch that pushed back the Sixers and tied the series as it shifts to Miami for Game 3 on Thursday.

The Sixers lost for the first time since March 13 to Indiana. They won 16 straight to end the regular season and the first game of the playoffs.

Ben Simmons led the Sixers with 24 points and Dario Saric had 23.

WARRIORS 116, SPURS 101

OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) – Kevin Durant sparked a decisive third-quarter run on the way to 32 points, Klay Thompson added 31 points and five assists in another superb playoff performance and the Warriors rallied in the second half to beat the Spurs for a 2-0 lead in their first-round series.

As Stephen Curry remains out likely for the entire series nursing a sprained left knee, the defending champions used all the offensive power they had to take both home games in the best-of-seven series. Wearing a dark checkered sport coat, Curry was all smiles watching another lopsided win without him.

LaMarcus Aldridge scored 34 for the Spurs and Rudy Gay moved into the starting lineup and scored 12 points.

Game 3 is Thursday as the series shifts to San Antonio.

WASHINGTON — With reports of their demise proven premature Tyquan Lewis Jersey , the Tampa Bay Lightning will look to even their Eastern Conference Final with the Washington Capitals when the teams meet in Game 4 on Thursday night.

With a win, the Lightning can regain the home-ice advantage — or disadvantage, as the visiting team has won the first three games — before the teams travel to Tampa Bay for Saturday’s Game 5.

The Lightning climbed back into the series with Tuesday’s 4-2 win, improving to 4-1 on the road in the 2018 playoffs.

Steven Stamkos, Nikita Kucherov and Brayden Point each had a goal and an assist, and Andrei Vasilevskiy made 36 saves as Tampa Bay built a 3-0 lead and short-circuited Washington’s rally.

“We haven’t done anything yet, we haven’t accomplished anything yet Yannick Ngakoue Jersey ,” Stamkos, who has five goals and four assists in a six-game point streak, told reporters on Wednesday. “We got ourselves back in the series by playing a lot more of a structured game and we’re confident we can do that again.”

In Game 3. the Lightning righted some of the wrongs that plagued them in Games 1 and 2, including scoring two even-strength goals — after scoring a total of two in the first two games — and winning the special teams battle, finishing 2-for-5 on the power play while Washington went 0-for-3.

Tampa Bay coach Jon Cooper also opted to juggle his top three lines and was rewarded with additional offense without hurting his defense.

“Yeah, we tweaked our lines,” Cooper told the team’s website Wednesday. “Was that the recipe? It was the way we played. That was the recipe. … We played better as a team.”

Brett Connolly’s goal pulled the Capitals within 3-1 and Evgeny Kuznetsov scored late as Washington fell to 3-4 at home in the playoffs.

Braden Holtby made 19 saves Jessie Bates III Jersey , allowing four goals for the first time in the postseason.

Now it’s Washington’s turn to respond.

“We weren’t playing as sharp as we normally can,” Capitals coach Barry Trotz told nhl.com. “We weren’t executing the way we normally did in the last couple of games. We were just off a little bit, and you can’t be off in this game to have success. We will be better next game.”

Washington could get a boost if center Nicklas Backstrom, who has missed the last four games with an injured hand, returns. He has been skating with the team and participated in Wednesday’s optional practice.

Backstrom had 21 goals and 50 assists in the regular season and has three goals and 10 assists in 11 playoff games.

“You can’t replace a guy like him,” Jay Beagle told the Washington Post. “He’s one of our key leaders and one of our best players. He’s a guy who makes this team click and makes us go. Obviously to get him back would be huge.”

This is the fifth time since conference finals started in 1982 that the first three games were all won by the road team, according to STATS A.J. Green Jersey , Inc.

The 1995 series (New Jersey-Philadelphia) and the 2004 series (Calgary-San Jose) both had the road team win the first five games before the home team closed it out in Game 6. There has not been a best-of-five or best-of-seven playoff series in which the road team won every game.

Washington will look to end the visiting streak in this series.

“You have to have a short memory and get the rest, regroup and have fun, enjoy the game,” Kuznetsov told nhl.com. “No one expected 4-0, right? We all know it’s going to be a tough series. We just have to relax a little bit and stay positive.”
