MIAMI (AP) - LeBron James scored 29 points, Chris Bosh had his
second straight double-double with 21 points and 11 rebounds, and
the Heat never trailed in beating the 76ers 94-73 last night in
Game 2 of their Eastern Conference first-round series. Thaddeus
Young scored 18 points and Evan Turner added 15 for the 76ers,
whose starters were outscored 76-29 by the Heat's first-string.

BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) - Brian Boucher stopped 35 shots as the
Flyers new starting goalie in helping Philadelphia grab a
first-round playoff series lead with a 4-2 win over the Sabres last
night. Danny Briere and Nikolay Zherdev keyed the victory by
scoring second-period goals as Philadelphia bounced back with two
straight wins after a 1-0 series-opening loss yesterday.

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) - Tyler Kennedy put Pittsburgh ahead early in
the third period and Marc-Andre Fleury stopped 25 shots last night,
helping the Penguins hold off the Lightning 3-2. Maxime Talbot and
Arron Asham also scored for the Penguins, who took a 2-1 lead in
their first-round Eastern Conference best-of-seven playoff series
and regained home-ice advantage.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) - Ryan Braun drove in the go-ahead run with a
sacrifice fly in the 12th inning and the Brewers beat the Phillies
6-3 last night. The NL East-leading Phillies rallied against closer
John Axford in the ninth, tying it at 3 on pinch-hitter Pete Orr's
RBI single with one out. But the Brewers held on and snapped a
three-game losing streak.

CINCINNATI (AP) - Andrew McCutchen doubled home two runs as part
of Pittsburgh's biggest offensive showing this season, and the
Pirates took advantage of another slow-starting Cincinnati pitcher,
beating the Reds 9-3 last night. The Pirates scored three runs in
the first off left-hander Travis Wood. Kevin Correia gave up four
hits during his second career complete game.

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (AP) - Suspended Penn State basketball guard
Taran Buie will transfer following a tumultuous freshman year.
Coach Ed DeChellis says he has granted Buie a release from his
scholarship. Buie had several off-court problems. He was suspended
in December for an undisclosed violation of team rules.
