[...] the lift he brought, combined with the expected playoff showings from LeBron James and Dwyane Wade, have the Heat off and running in these playoffs. James scored 27 points, Wade added 23 and the Heat rode two big runs — one late in the first half, the other down the stretch — to beat the Charlotte Bobcats 99-88 in Game 1 of their Eastern Conference first-round series. Kemba Walker scored 20 points for the Bobcats, who started fast behind Jefferson — who was diagnosed with a strained left plantar fascia after a misstep in the first quarter, and got a pair of injections just to continue playing. Jefferson still finished with 18 points and 10 rebounds — yet in what can't be a real exciting sign for Charlotte, he left the arena in a walking boot. Luke Ridnour made a high-arcing baseline jumper over Ray Allen with 10:29 left to get Charlotte within 74-69. Chris Andersen had a tip-in for a 12-point lead, Wade — who shot 10 for 16 — made a 3-pointer as the shot clock was winding down with 6:50 left to make it 85-70, and another score by Andersen pushed the margin to 17. That started an 11-0 run by the Bobcats, who scored the first eight of the third quarter to reclaim a one-point lead. With his final point, James passed Larry Bird for No.
