Nets cool off Heat, hand Miami first postseason loss with 104-90 Game 3 victory
• NEW YORK (AP) -- Two losses in Miami didn't faze Paul Pierce, nor did 16 quick points by LeBron James.
• The postseason, Pierce said repeatedly, is no time to panic. And the Heat, apparently, are nothing to fear.
• "We're not scared of them," Pierce said.
• Joe Johnson scored 19 points, Andray Blatche had career playoff highs of 15 points and 10 rebounds, and the Brooklyn Nets handed the Heat their first loss this postseason, 104-90 on Saturday night in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference semifinals.
• Pierce scored 14 points, Deron Williams and Kevin Garnett bounced back from awful offensive efforts, and the Nets withstood James' 16-point first quarter and held him to two baskets over the final three quarters.
