KEY GAME INFORMATION
MIAMI: GUARDS: DWYANE WADE will continue to take a smaller role during the regular season, as the Heat try desperately to keep him fresh for the playoffs. He's attacking the rim far less than he used to . . . MARIO CHALMERS will continue to start, playing off the ball more than any other point guard . . . RAY ALLEN will once again serve as sixth man, providing long-range shooting off the bench. He didn't start a single game last year, and at age 38, he'll rarely play full-time minutes as Miami looks toward the postseason . . . NORRIS COLE continues to inch up on Chalmers' starting role, improving nicely between his first and second seasons. But as long as Chalmers is the superior shooter, Cole will play behind him. FORWARDS: LEBRON JAMES is the best player in the league by a wide margin. There's no reason he shouldn't win his third straight MVP award . . . SHANE BATTIER is back as a glue guy, flopper and corner-three shooter. He'll play part-time minutes, often coming off the bench . . . UDONIS HASLEM will likely start, but he rarely stays on the floor for even half of a game. The Heat will continue to rotate big men alongside Chris Bosh . . . MICHAEL BEASLEY provides this team with an athlete who can put the ball in the basket coming off the bench. He must prove he can stay focused and out of trouble . . . RASHARD LEWIS may step into a slightly bigger role now that Mike Miller is gone. His troublesome knees won't allow him to play a lot of minutes, but he still shoots it well enough to help for a few minutes a night . . . JAMES JONES might have to do more than enjoy a courtside seat now that Miller is gone. CENTERS: CHRIS BOSH plays center in the Heat's small-ball lineup. He'll do his thing in the high post, and he's one of Miami's rotating rim protectors . . . CHRIS ANDERSEN did enough last postseason to earn a part-time role this year . . . The Heat hope GREG ODEN and Birdman will stagger their injuries. Oden should be part of a rotation alongside Bosh . . . JOEL ANTHONY is a half-step above team mascot.
CHARLOTTE: GUARDS: KEMBA WALKER has become a more efficient scorer as well as a capable distributor. He'll sacrifice some shots with Al Jefferson coming in, but he should have more space with which to operate. Down the line, he could mesh nicely with pick-and-pop four Cody Zeller . . . GERALD HENDERSON transformed from a raw athlete into an effective, efficient scorer in the second half of last season. He should be the No. 2 or 3 option this year . . . RAMON SESSIONS is locked in as a sixth man. He's not a shooter, but his ability to get to the line makes him an effective second-unit scorer . . . BEN GORDON seems to be going through the motions at this point. His real value this season is his enormous expiring contract. FORWARDS: MICHAEL KIDD-GILCHRIST is going to be a quality NBA player for a long time, but he's not close to being a major factor offensively. He'll continue to defend and rebound effectively for a wing, but he's a No. 4 or 5 option on the offensive end of the court . . . JOSH MCROBERTS proved good enough to be a rotational player on a bad team last year. He has a chance to start early on while the Bobcats bring some young guys along . . . CODY ZELLER struggled against length and athleticism in college, so it seems the 'Cats think he can be more of a stretch, pick-and-pop four. If he proves to be a shooter, he's athletic enough and a good enough rebounder to be a solid NBA starter . . . JEFFERY TAYLOR is a forgettable second-unit player who can defend a couple of positions. ANTHONY TOLLIVER won't see the floor much, but he can stretch the floor with his shooting ability. CENTERS: We'll see how the Bobcats mesh with AL JEFFERSON, the NBA's worst defensive big man and a lane-clogging black hole on offense. He can score, and at (an incredible) $40 million-plus, Charlotte will run everything through him . . . BISMACK BIYOMBO will play some alongside Jefferson, as the Bobcats desperately need to cancel out Jefferson's defense. But the young big man figures to be used more sparingly this year . . . BRENDAN HAYWOOD is still kicking around.

*Heat-Bobcats Preview* ======================

By STEVE REED AP Sports Writer

Miami At Charlotte, Game Four, 7:00 p.m. EDT

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) -- Coach Steve Clifford said if the Charlotte Bobcats hope to avoid a first-round sweep by the Miami Heat and earn their first postseason win in franchise history, they're going to need someone other than Al Jefferson and Kemba Walker to come through on offense.

The Heat double-teamed Jefferson after he scored 15 points in the first quarter Saturday night and hounded Walker en route to a 98-85 victory in Game 3.

Game 4 is Monday night in Charlotte.

"After the first quarter they were very aggressive sending a second defender at Al and much more aggressive with Kemba," Clifford said following Sunday's practice. "That means there are other opportunities with other guys and we have to take advantage of that."

While Jefferson and Walker were 12 of 20 from the field, the rest of the Bobcats shot just 33 percent in Game 3.

Starting shooting guard Gerald Henderson and forward Michael Kidd-Gilchrist combined for just nine points on 3 of 12 shooting. Chris Douglas-Roberts provided a spark off the bench with 17 points, but Gary Neal - brought in for his outside shooting and playoff experience - has struggled with his 3-point shot throughout the postseason.

Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said he viewed Chris Bosh's defense on Jefferson in Game 3 as key to the victory.

"In the third quarter, he was outstanding, covering a lot of ground, pick-and-rolls, and really putting a lot more pressure on Jefferson's catches," Spoelstra said. "He either couldn't catch it in the post, or he really had to work for it and catch it a little bit further out on the court where we could pack our defense and bring some more help."

The two-time defending champion Heat are right where everyone expected them to be - on the verge of moving on to the second round for the fourth straight season behind LeBron James.

In James' first two seasons, the Heat bolted to a 3-0 lead in the opening round series, lost Game 4 and then closed out the series in Game 5 at home.

Last year, the Heat wasted no time sweeping the Milwaukee Bucks.

"The closeout game is always the most challenging game, and we've been in a few of them," James said after Sunday's practice. "But if we come in with the same mindset we did in Game 3 we will give ourselves a great chance to close out in Game 4."

James will certainly be a huge part of that effort.

The four-time NBA Most Valuable Player has been nearly unstoppable against the Bobcats this season, averaging 37 points per game in seven meetings - about 10 points above his season average.

After two average performances in the first two games of the series, the Heat began looking like champions on Saturday night.

"We played our type of basketball," James said.

Now James is looking forward to returning home to Miami to rest his legs.

"Any type of rest you can get in the playoffs is beneficial, but for us it is how we play," James said. "It is how we will Monday. If we come out with the same mindset or greater, we are going give ourselves a great chance to win."

The Bobcats said they won't go that quietly.

Henderson added he views it as "very important" to not get swept after a year in which the Bobcats went 43-39 in the regular season - a 22-game improvement over the previous year under former coach Mike Dunlap.

"Coach Clifford came in and spoke to us and said, `What's the rest of our season going to be like? Is it going to be over tomorrow?"' Henderson said. "We have had such a great year, more than anything about this team, we have always fought. We have had some amazing games. We've never given up on any game and that is the mindset we're going to take into Monday night."

Added Walker: "We are desperate."
