MIAMI (AP) — LeBron James scored 27 points, Dwyane Wade added 23 and the Miami Heat used a late charge to beat the Charlotte Bobcats 99-88 on Sunday in Game 1 of their Eastern Conference first-round series. Luke Ridnour made a high-arcing baseline jumper with 10:29 left to get Charlotte within 74-69 before Jones answered with a 3-pointer to put Miami up by eight. Chris Andersen had a tip-in for a 12-point lead, Wade 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. Charlotte's opening lineup had four players making their first playoff starts — three of them seeing their first playoff action. The team said he was bothered by a left plantar fascia strain — the pain of which sometimes forced him to resort to one-legged jumpers and generally limping wherever he went. That started an 11-0 answer by the Bobcats, who scored the first eight of the third quarter to reclaim a one-point lead. [...] the third stayed close, neither team leading by more than three for the majority of the third.
