76ers 100, Magic 98

ORLANDO, Fla. — Andre Iguodala and the Philadelphia 76ers left the Magic stunned and the home fans silenced. Iguodala made a 22-foot jumper with 2.2 seconds remaining, and the 76ers rallied from an 18-point deficit to beat Orlando. Iguodala had 20 points, eight rebounds and eight assists, and Louis Williams scored 18 to help the 76ers beat the Magic for the first time in four tries this season — and when it mattered most. Hedo Turkoglu’s fadeaway 3-pointer missed at the buzzer, and Magic fans stood in disbelief before filing out quietly.

Hawks 90, Heat 64

ATLANTA — This is why the Atlanta Hawks wanted to start the playoffs at home. With Josh Smith delivering one rim-shaking dunk after another and plenty of teammates chipping in, the Hawks made Miami look like a one-man team, running Dwyane Wade and the Heat ragged for a blowout. Wade scored 19 points — 11 below his NBA-leading average — and only one other Miami even reached double figures as the Hawks tied a franchise record for fewest points allowed in a playoff game. Wade spent much of the night on his backside or complaining to the referees, his frustration growing as the Hawks turned the opener to the best-of-seven series into a laughter before halftime.

Late Saturday

Rockets 108, Trail Blazers 81

PORTLAND, Ore. — Yao Ming scored 24 points, all in the first half, and Houston spoiled Portland’s back-in-the playoffs euphoria. Yao, who also had nine rebounds, hit all nine of his attempts from the field and all six of his free throws. He did not attempt a shot in the second half and sat for all of the fourth quarter. Aaron Brooks added 27 points for the Rockets, who haven’t advanced out of the first round of the playoffs since 1997. Brandon Roy had 21 points for the Blazers in their first playoff appearance since 2003. Game 2 is Tuesday night in Portland.
