MIAMI -- For the Miami Heat, the third quarter was pretty much the whole story.

Gaviglio Italy Jersey . Chris Bosh tumbled over some courtside seats on
one end, and LeBron James apologized to a few fans during one particularly
frustrating moment on the other. In between, Mario Chalmers gave the Heat all
the boost they needed. Chalmers went on a personal 9-0 run in a 39-second span
of the period, Bosh led all scorers with 19 points on 8-for-9 shooting, and the
Heat went on to beat the Atlanta Hawks 104-88 on Tuesday night for their fourth
straight victory. "We just try to get out in transition, let our defence be our
offence most of the time and keep working from there," Chalmers said. Ray Allen
scored 17 in his first game back from a bout with the flu. Chalmers had 12 of
his 14 in the third quarter for the Heat, who were without Dwyane Wade for the
second time this season. James finished with a season-low 13 points, six
rebounds and five assists for the Heat (8-3), and no starter played in the final
12 minutes while backups put away the game. "Were very confident in our lineup
we got, man," James said. "Those guys continue to play well. They continue to
work together and its great to have a Hall of Famer in that lineup with Ray
coming back." Mike Scott scored 15 points and grabbed 10 rebounds for Atlanta,
which got 12 points apiece from Al Horford and Pero Antic. Kyle Korver made
three 3-pointers for the Hawks, extending his streak to 84 consecutive games
with at least one make from beyond the arc, five shy of matching Dana Barros NBA
record. "Its a constant battle," Hawks coach Mike Budenholzer said of playing
the Heat. "They take away something. Hopefully you can find something else. At
times we did and at times we didnt." Miamis lead was 56-54 in the third quarter
when Chalmers got hot -- in a hurry. James Jones, who started in place of Wade,
actually started what became a 15-2 run with a 3-pointer, and then Chalmers got
going. He cut across the lane for a reverse layup while getting fouled, then
made a 3-pointer from the left wing after an Atlanta turnover. Jeff Teague
missed a layup on the next Atlanta possession, James wound up throwing a chest
pass from about 50 feet to Chalmers, who pulled up on the catch and connected on
another 3-pointer from the same spot. Just like that, 56-54 became 68-54. And
Bosh provided one of the nights highlights by giving the crowd a rather comical
thumbs-up after his dive into the expensive seats, plus was thrilled to learn
afterward that the photo quickly made its rounds on social media. "You dont get
to go in the stands much," Bosh said. Atlanta carved the deficit to 10 entering
the fourth, but the Heat -- with five reserves on the court -- then showed off
their depth. Allen scored Miamis first 12 points of the final quarter,
Michael Beasley added the next four, and the Heat lead grew 94-78 with 5 minutes
remaining, ensuring that the two-time defending NBA champions would keep their
starters on the bench for the entirety of the final period. Norris Cole finished
with eight points, nine assists and five rebounds for Miami. "Our starters are
rooting them on," Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. "They understand the
importance of that group." Neither team led by more than six points in the first
half, one where the Hawks held James scoreless for the first 16 minutes. James
never really got on a sustained roll offensively, though Miami didnt need him to
get there, either. James scored 10 points in the second quarter, and only three
in the rest of the game. Even without Wade, and on a night Miami used its sixth
starting lineup in 11 games, that didnt matter. "Theyre a great defensive team,"
Korver said. "They were able to really trap the ball. With LeBron in the back,
theyre able to cover every passing angle - it seems like that. Nothing really
feels open." Atlanta was without forward Paul Millsap, out with right elbow
tendinitis. Gustavo Ayon started in his place. NOTES: Heat F Udonis Haslem had a
fairly odd stat line: seven points and six fouls in eight minutes, the fastest
anyone has fouled out of an NBA game since Feb. 16, 2011. Haslem had missed
Miamis last four games with back spasms. ... James is now two free throws away
from the 5,000th make from the line in his career. ... Spoelstra improved his
winning percentage to .6617. If Miami wins at Orlando on Wednesday, he would
pass legendary Boston coach Red Auerbach (.6619) on the NBAs career list, among
coaches with more than 400 games. ... Atlanta finished with 22 assists, and the
Hawks have had at least 20 in every game this season.

pt. The Ticos have been one of the surprise packages in Brazil, topping Group D
by pulling off upset wins over Uruguay and Italy before a 0-0 draw with England
clinched the top spot in a group that Greece head coach Fernando Santos labeled
the "Group of Death." Most observers felt that Costa Rica was the clear outsider
in a group that contained three former World Cup winners. But the CONCACAF
representatives used a high-pressure style to unsettle both Uruguay and Italy,
and Greek boss Santos knows his side must be ready for a tough task. "I am
delighted first of all that we bring joy to the Greek people," said Santos after
his team secured a place in the knockout round for the first time in the nations
history. "We have time to think about the match with Costa Rica. We will go back
to our base, think about it and study our opponents. We have to pay a lot of
attention to this game, they came out top in the Group of Death. As a result we
cannot allow ourselves to underestimate them." The path Greece took to get to
the last 16 was much different than the one the Ticos traveled as the Greeks
lost their opening match 3-0 to Colombia. A 0-0 draw with Japan that saw Greece
play the final 52 minutes with 10 men kept the team aliive, but Santos and his
side saved their best performance for last, notching a 2-1 win over Ivory Coast
as Georgios Samaras converted a stoppage-time penalty kick to send his side
through.

including Costa Rica midfielder Yeltsin Tejeda. "They are in the World Cup and
they beat an excellent team, Ivory Coast," Tejeda said of Greece. "If they are
there (in the Round of 16), it is because they were better." "We were thinking
more about Colombia and the Ivory Coast and in the end came the least expected
team. Now we have to change the video cassette." Costa Rica will certainly have
to prepare much differently for Greece than for either Colombia or Ivory Coast
if the team is going to reach the quarterfinals at a World Cup for the first
time. Greece is known for a being a defense-first side that looks to steal a
goal or two in order to win ugly. But Costa Ricas defense has been one of the
best at the tournament, giving up just one goal in three games, which came on a
penalty kick against Uruguay in its opening match. The winner of this contest
will be in uncharted territory, while a Greece victory would bring about an
interesting situation involving Santos. With his contract set to expire the day
after the Costa Rica match, the 59- year-old may need to negotiate a quick
extension if his side reaches the last eight, which is yet another indication of
how unlikely a matchup this is at this stage of the tournament.
