(SportsNetwork.com) - Marian Gaborik and Anze Kopitar were key to the Los Angeles Kings run to a Stanley Cup title a season ago. The duo is at it again. The Kings take aim at a third straight victory on Monday night when they play host to a Calgary Flames club trying to avoid a ninth straight loss. Kopitar led the NHL with 26 points during the most recent postseason and Gaborik netted 14 goals in helping Los Angeles win the Cup. Injuries, though, have limited Gaborik to 22 games this season and Kopitar had struggled to just 14 points through his first 29 games before a recent two-game surge. Kopitar had a goal and four assists in a win over St. Louis on Thursday to begin a four-game homestand and then added another three helpers in Saturdays 4-2 victory over the Arizona Coyotes. Gaborik netted a goal for a fourth game in a row, with six total over that span. He also had picked up two assists during that run. Gaboriks goal with 2:20 left in the second period tied the game and Alec Martinez and Trevor Lewis scored in the third frame to put the contest away. Jeff Carter also scored and Jonathan Quick made 15 saves. We came out pretty good dictating the tempo, said Kopitar. It could easily go south after those two goals, but we stuck together and got it done on the power play. The Kings back-to-back wins come following a 1-3-1 road trip. L.A. is 13-4-1 at home this season and 4-7-5 on the road. The Flames face a tough task in slowing down the Kings momentum at home and are on their longest losing streak since an 0-6-3 stretch from Jan. 11-28, 2010. After losing seven in a row in regulation, the Flames did at least earn a point with Saturdays 3-2 overtime setback to the Vancouver Canucks. Calgary fell behind by two goals, one that was credited to Vancouver when Flames defenseman Dennis Widemans pass to the right point during a delayed penalty caromed off the boards past a teammate and all the way into the vacated net. I dont know what to tell you. It was a basic pass back to the point that kind of handcuffed him, took a funny bounce off the wall and ran all the way down the ice and into the net, said Wideman. David Jones and Johnny Gaudreau, though, scored to even the game before the Canucks won it just 18 seconds into overtime. Jonas Hiller ended with 30 saves in defeat. Goals are tough to come by, said Flames coach Bob Hartley. It would have been easy to fold the tent, but credit to our guys, they battled back. I thought we played a pretty solid game. Hiller has allowed two goals or fewer in three straight and four of his past five starts. He is 9-8-3 lifetime versus the Kings with a 2.30 goals against average, .928 save percentage and three shutouts. Quick is 9-5-2 versus the Flames with a 1.60 GAA and .934 save percentage along with two shutouts. Calgary won three of five versus the Kings last season and has taken two straight and four of its past six in Los Angeles.

Erik Spoelstra asked James about taking a fourth-quarter rest, but the game was too important to sit. So the answer was no — just not said so politely. "He asked me and I didnt know if he was serious or not, and what I told him I cannot say again," James said. "So I wanted to finish out the game. I felt like it was a must-win for us." James tied his playoff career high with 49 points, Chris Bosh made the tiebreaking 3-pointer with 57 seconds left, and the Miami Heat beat the Brooklyn Nets 102-96 Monday night for a 3-1 lead in the Eastern Conference semifinals. James carried the Heat nearly the entire way until Bosh hit the basket that put Miami ahead for good — a play where James resisted the temptation to force a shot, instead passing to Mario Chalmers, who swung it to a wide-open Bosh. Ray Allen followed with four free throws and James finished it off with one more, putting the Heat in position to wrap it up at home Wednesday in Game 5. James was 16 of 24 from the field and 14 of 19 from the free throw line in matching the 49 points he scored for Cleveland against Orlando in the 2009 Eastern Conference finals. He missed his second free throw with 1.1 seconds left, muttering to himself after. "Thats the first time Ive been disappointed in myself in a win," James said before smiling, realizing his performance left nothing to complain about. "He was what was needed on the road and thats what makes him the best player in the game," Spoelstra said. Joe Johnson scored 18 points for the Nets, who were 15 of 25 from 3-point range in their Game 3 victory but only 5 of 22 in this one. Paul Pierce added 16 points. "This is very difficult to swallow," Nets centre Kevin Garnett said. "Hard to take, but its what it is. Coulda, shoulda, woulda doesnt help us at this point." Dwyane Wade scored 15 points on the night his Heat post-season record of 46 points was shattered. Bosh finished with 12. Miami pulled out a thrilling victory in a game in which neither team led by double digits and has won at least one road game in 14 sstraight series, breaking the record set by the Chicago Bulls from 1991-94.dddddddddddd Garnetts two free throws tied it with 2:30 remaining. Bosh then missed a pair of 3-pointers before getting a third crack at it in the corner in front of the Brooklyn bench for a 97-94 lead. Johnson then missed a jumper while trying to draw James sixth foul — Johnson said afterward James "flopped" — and Allens free throws put it away. "Obviously the series is not over but we really have to have some urgency going to Miami and weve got to come out of there with one," Johnson said. Wade scored 46 points against Boston in the 2010 playoffs, and James best in a Heat uniform had also come against the Celtics, his memorable 45-point performance that saved Miamis season in Game 6 of the 2012 Eastern Conference finals. Pierce, who asked to guard James after Game 1, was on the wrong end of this LeBron masterpiece. James and the Heat had shrugged off a couple days of chatter from Pierce, who said the Nets werent afraid of them. But things were testy at the start, with first-quarter technical fouls for James, Pierce, Shane Battier and Alan Anderson. Miami started quickly again and led 27-22 after one behind 12 points from James. He opened the second on the bench and Brooklyn started with a 9-2 spurt to take its first lead at 31-29. James was a force once he returned — especially after a second foul against him seemed to get James more annoyed than any of Pierces talking did. James gave Pierce a glare after a thunderous slam later in the period, when he had 13 points in 7 1/2 minutes, and the Heat led 56-49. James had 13 straight Miami points in the third, but Brooklyn cut it to one on a few occasions before he made a pair of free throws to give Miami a 79-76 lead. NOTES: Mirza Teletovic was held to four points and missed all three 3-point attempts. He had been 11 of 19 in the series, Wade saying before the game it was "red alert" when he entered. ... As they have during post-season home games, the Nets had a Brooklyn-based entertainer announce their starting lineups. On Monday it was Mike D of the Beastie Boys. Denzel Washington, Spike Lee and Floyd Mayweather Jr. were also in the crowd.
