MIAMI -- Dwyane Wade came off the bench for the first time in more than six years. The Larry OBrien Trophy wasnt at stake. Spurs coach Gregg Popovich sported a casual, no-tie look. An NBA Finals rematch, yes. An NBA Finals replay, it was not. Either way, it still wound up going how the Miami Heat wanted. Chris Bosh scored 24 points on 9 for 10 shooting -- making him 17 for his last 18 from the floor -- and LeBron James added 18 points as the Heat rolled past the San Antonio Spurs 113-101 on Sunday, never trailing and leading by as many as 29 points along the way. "Did that feel like The Finals? No, it did not feel like The Finals," is how Heat coach Erik Spoelstra opened his postgame remarks, without anyone even asking the question. Mario Chalmers scored 16 points for Miami, which used Wade as a reserve for the first time since Jan. 6, 2008. Wade -- an All-Star starter again this season -- had not played in any of Miamis most recent four games while dealing with ongoing knee rehabilitation, and finished with eight points and five assists in 24 minutes. Wade said not starting was his idea, and seemed generally pleased with his first game in nine days. "Ive only had one practice in a while," Wade said. "Team was in a good groove. I wanted to work my way into my rhythm." Michael Beasley scored 12, Norris Cole scored 11 and Ray Allen added 10 for Miami (32-12). Spoelstra said afterward that nothing is set in stone about Wades status going forward. "It was just good to have him out there," Spoelstra said. Tim Duncan led San Antonio with 23 points. Boris Diaw added 15, Marco Belinelli scored 12 and Tony Parker finished with 11 for the Spurs, who were without three players who played key roles in last years Finals. Kawhi Leonard (hand), Danny Green (hand) and Tiago Splitter (shoulder) all remain sidelined for San Antonio (33-11), which lost for just the fourth time in 20 road games. "Everybody has injuries. You have to deal with them during the season," said Parker, who jammed a finger Sunday but didnt seem concerned. "Obviously, its hurting us but theyre going to come back. We just have to keep pushing and try to get better." The game was tied at 44 late in the first half. Before long, it was a runaway. Miami closed the second quarter with a 14-6 spurt, outscored San Antonio 33-21 in the third and opened the fourth on a 13-4 run, just in case there was any remaining doubt, which hardly seems likely. Add it up, and over a 20-minute stretch the two-time defending champs outscored the Spurs 60-31. "They kind of got in a comfort zone," Duncan said. "Obviously a very good team and very good at what they do, just didnt get them off their game at all." Sundays game was the first official meeting between the teams since Miami won Game 7 of last seasons Finals. San Antonio visited Miami in the preseason, a night where the title rematch was the only thing really worth talking about, but at least the Spurs didnt have to see Miamis third championship banner hanging from the rafters of AmericanAirlines Arena that night. "Obviously, it brought back memories, for sure," James said. "But its a regular-season game where both teams were trying to get better." The third quarter decided just about everything. Bosh was 4 for 4 from the field, on the way to a 12-point quarter. Miami outrebounded San Antonio 14-3 in the period, with James and Cole each grabbing one more rebound than the entire Spurs roster did collectively. "Its a bad combination when were not disciplined enough defensively and theyre making shots," Popovich said. "They shot it really well -- came with their A game." NOTES: Only two of the teams last eight non-Finals meetings have been decided by less than 12 points. ... The Heat have played their last 98:33 without facing a deficit. ... Actor John Malkovich was in the sold-out, largely late-arriving crowd for the 1 p.m. start. ... Popovich remained tied with Red Auerbach on the all-time NBA coaching wins list, with 938. ... The Spurs scored 100 or more points for the 15th straight game. Flushing Meadows, NY - Roger Federer had little trouble in his first-round match Tuesday at the U.S. Open, while Spains David Ferrer also advanced. Federer, the five-time champion at Flushing Meadows, eased past Australias Marinko Matosevic, 6-3, 6-4, 7-6 (7-4), to start the night session at Ashe Stadium. The second-seeded Swiss superstar hasnt reached the final at the U.S. Open since 2009 and hasnt won the title since the last of his five straight in 2008. Last years surprising fourth-round loss to Tommy Robredo was his earliest exit since 2003. Federer has had a resurgent year after not reaching a Grand Slam final in 2013. He reached the final at Wimbledon earlier this summer, losing to Novak Djokovic in a stellar five-set title match at the All England Club, then prepped for the U.S. Open with a couple of strong hardcourt events. He lost to Jo-Wilfried Tsonga in the Toronto final and beat Ferrer for the Cincinnati crown. The solid play continued Tuesday. Federer broke serve once in each of the first two sets and never had his own serve threatened. He dropped a mere four points on serve in a dominant second set. After another break early in the third, Matosevic finally dented Federers serve to event the set at 4-4. It went to a tiebreaker and Federer won six of the last seven points after falling behind 3-1. "Hes got big shots and a big game, especially on the return," said Federer about Matosevic in an on-court interview after the match. "Im happy Im through. It was a bit more difficult in the third set than I wanted it to be. He put up a good fight." Next up for Federer will be another Australian in the second round, as Sam Groth advanced with a three-set win over Albert Ramos-Vinolas of Spain. The fourth-seeded Ferrer needed four sets to best Damir Dzumhur of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Ferrer, twice a semifinalist in 11 previous trips to the U.S. Open, claimed a 6-1, 6-2, 2-6, 6-2 triumph and will next play Australias Bernard Tomic in round two. Other seeded winners Tuesday included Japans Kei Nishikori, American John Isner, Frenchman Richard Gasquet, Italys Fabio Fognini and Gael Monfils of France. The 10th-seeded Nishikori stifled American journeyman Wayne Odesnik, 6-2, 6-4, 6-2. Nishikori, who became the first-ever Japanese player to crack the Top 10 earlier this year, missed the U.S. Open tuune-up events in Toronto and Cincinnati because of a toe injury.dddddddddddd "Its been pretty good," said Nishikori about the injury. "I fell a couple of times, but otherwise, almost perfect. Didnt affect my game. So its been feeling really well." Odesnik received a wild card into the Open, his first appearance here in five years, after serving a year-long ban for getting caught with human growth hormone. The 13th-seeded Isner launched 26 aces in a 7-6 (7-5), 6-2, 7-6 (7-2) victory over fellow American Marcos Giron. Isner has reached just one quarterfinal in his seven previous trips to the USTA National Tennis Center. "I played a great second set," said Isner. "I wish the third set would have been easier. I had a lot of chances. So if theres one disappointing thing from today its not converting on those chances, especially in the third set. I had some in the first set, as well. But all in all, Im happy with it in straight sets." Meanwhile, the 12th-seeded Gasquet got past Uzbekistans Denis Istomin, 7-5, 7-6 (7-5), 6-4, the 15th-seeded Fognini foiled Kazakhstans Andrey Golubev, 6-4, 6-4, 6-2, and the 20th-seeded Monfils thumped American Jared Donaldson, 6-4, 6-2, 6-4. In other play involving seeds, No. 17 Roberto Bautista Agut got past Andreas Haider-Maurer, 5-7, 7-6 (7-1), 1-6, 7-5, 6-foot-10 No. 25 Croat Ivo Karlovic fired 24 aces in beating Finnish veteran Jarkko Nieminen, 6-4, 6-4, 3-6, 6-4; No. 26 Frenchman Gilles Simon rolled past Radu Albot of Moldova, 6-3, 6-4, 6-2; No. 28 Spaniard Guillermo Garcia-Lopez topped Taiwans Yen-Hsun Lu, 6-4, 6-2, 6-2; and 17-year-old Croat Borna Coric took out No. 29 Czech Lukas Rosol, 6-4, 6-1, 6-2. Rosol was fresh off his hardcourt title last week in North Carolina. In other matches featuring Americans, Sam Querrey outlasted Argentine Maximo Gonzalez, 6-2, 4-6, 6-4, 4-6, 6-3, and Spaniard Pablo Andujar was leading Jack Sock, 6-4, 3-6, 6-1, when Sock retired with an injury. The first round concludes Wednesday with 16 more matches and the second round also begins. First-round action will include sixth-seeded Tomas Berdych against 2001 U.S. Open champ Lleyton Hewitt and seventh-seeded Grigor Dimitrov against American Ryan Harrison. Australian Open champ Stan Wawrinka will face Brazils Thomaz Bellucci in one of two second-round tilts.
