MIAMI -- Chris Bosh had another postgame scream. For the Miami Heat, that was outstanding news. LeBron James scored the last of his 32 points on a layup that put Miami up for good with 11.4 seconds left, Bosh capped his 30th birthday by blocking Damian Lillards layup on the final play, and the Heat blew a 17-point fourth-quarter lead before beating the Portland Trail Blazers 93-91 on Monday night. "If you talk it, you back it up," James said. "Thats what its about. We have guys in here that will deliver the words and then go back it up. That was big-time on his part." Bosh ripped into Miami after a loss at New Orleans on Saturday, saying the Heat arent playing with passion, among other colorful sentiments. He screamed again Monday, this time in celebration as time expired. "This games about passion," Bosh said. "As hard as it is during the dog days to muster it up, the spark has to come from somewhere." Wednesday wont be one of those dog days. Miami visits Indiana with a chance to close within one game in the Eastern Conference race. The Pacers lost in Chicago on Monday night. "I miss the Pacers," Bosh said. Bosh finished with 15 points and Chris Andersen had 13 points and 11 rebounds for Miami, which won for just the fifth time in 12 games. Mario Chalmers added 11 points for the Heat. Lillard led the Blazers with 19 points on 3-for-15 shooting. Mo Williams scored 17, Wesley Matthews had 15, Nicolas Batum 11 and Robin Lopez 10 for Portland, which was down 17 with just more than 9 minutes remaining. "I thought I had a pretty good look at it but Chris Bosh made a great play," Lillard said of his final shot. "He met it at the top. He went up and got it. I saw him -- thats why I floated it. I didnt think he would be able to get to it. But he met it at the very top." The Blazers shot 11 for 39 from 3-point range, taking only 35 shots from inside the arc. "Were tired of losing close games, but you cant help it to be proud of the way we competed," Portland coach Terry Stotts said. "It would have been easy to fold things up, but thats not in our DNA." Miami was without Dwyane Wade for the 19th time this season, though this absence wasnt part of the season-long maintenance program designed to help his knees. Wade tweaked an ankle last week in Boston. James was on the court getting shots up for about 15 minutes with less than an hour remaining until tip-off. With his earbuds on, sweat rolling off and surrounded by three ballboys, James worked on step-back jumpers, post moves and free throws, yelling twice at himself during one stretch in which he missed three straight from the line. It was obvious: Hes had it with this Heat slide. And Heat coach Erik Spoelstra wanted the four-time MVP aggressive, so much so that he met him on the way to the bench during a first-half timeout and gave him a two-handed shove. "Just wanted him to continue to attack," Spoelstra said. James took 12 shots in the first quarter, tying his career high for an opening period. He made only four of them, three of those being dunks, and wasnt shy about expressing his frustration after a couple of plays. But he got on his customary roll in time. James made seven of his next eight from the floor, and the Heat turned a six-point deficit in the first half into an 11-point lead in the third. An 11-2 Miami run to end the half -- James had six of those points -- sent the Heat into the locker room up 46-42, and another run opened the third. Miami scored 13 of the first 19 points in the third, with Bosh getting nine and James scoring two before setting up Greg Oden for a dunk that capped the burst and gave the Heat a 59-48 lead. And for Oden, Monday carried extra significance, since he was facing the team that drafted him No. 1 overall in 2007. The lead was still 11 entering the fourth, and Miami opened the final quarter with a 6-0 run that pushed the lead to 78-61 with 9:15 remaining. It was hardly over, but Bosh and James wound up saving the Heat. NOTES: Chalmers tweaked his right knee and left in the first quarter after taking a misstep along the row of photographers who sit just behind the baseline. ...

Tottenham manager Andre Villas-Boas, speaking after a UEFA-hosted meeting of elite coaches, said they were "unhappy" and wanted more settled preparation for their teams each season. "We have alerted UEFA that something has to be done," Villas-Boas said after the annual two-day session attended by 16 coaches, including Carlo Ancelotti of Real Madrid. Tottenhams record 100 million euro ($132 million) sale of Gareth Bale to Madrid was among the big transfers sealed near Mondays deadline. Napoli coach Rafa Benitez said the "beginning of August" or Aug. 15 were suggested as better deadlines than this seasons Sept. 2 transfer window closure, which came after European leagues began. The call follows UEFA President Michel Platini saying that "this window is too long and will have to shorten it." "We will ask FIFA to have a look into what we propose and for all European leagues to start at the same time," Platini said after last weeks Champions League draw. Securing a place in that lucrative competition is seen as a key factor for clubs wanting to prolong their trading options. Villas-Boas identified that "the problem is the discrepancy" between coaches seeking stability and some clubs who seek to ensure Champions League qualification. A place in the 32-team group stage is typically worth at least 15 million euros ($19.7 million) in prize money from UEFA. Villas-Boas said Schalke coach Jens Keller pointed out that the German club could buy midfielder Kevin-Prince Boateng from AC Milan only after winning its Champions League playoff last week. "Boateng is one example and its quite dangerous," Benitez said. "Youu prepare everything with your players and, one week after, the players could be playing against you.dddddddddddd" Napoli, like Tottenham, sold its star player in the off-season, getting 64 million euros ($85 million) from Paris Saint-Germain for Uruguay forward Edinson Cavani. Both Napoli, which is in the Champions League, and Tottenham, a Europa League contender, reinvested in signing several high-class players while conforming to UEFAs "Financial Fair Play" rules which require clubs to aim toward breaking even. "When a player of that stature leaves, you have to look at it from a very positive vantage point," said Benitez, whose new recruits include forward Gonzalo Higuain and defender Raul Albiol from Reral Madrid. "So long as the club is better off afterwards, I think its a good thing." Completing the Bale deal stretched throughout August while Tottenham positioned itself to sign midfielders Erik Lamela from Roma and Christian Ericksen from Ajax last Thursday. "The influence of Real Madrid has been very, very strong," Villas-Boas said in Spanish. "You get to a point where you have to consider if its feasible . in not accepting the offer . whether you can press on with the player (Bale) in that state of mind." In other issues, the coaches discussed whether the away-goal rule -- which some argue now promotes negative tactics -- should no longer apply in knockout matches. "It should be maintained," Villas-Boas said. "It was raised that also (in) extra time, the away goals shouldnt count." The Tottenham coach said the session supported UEFAs decision to enter the Europa League winner in the Champions League from 2015. Although the coaches discussed FIFAs international match calendar, Benitez said switching the 2022 World Cup in Qatar from a June-July slot was not raised. ' ' '
