EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- The Nets can't stop Dwyane Wade, and on Sunday they couldn't solve Antoine Walker or Udonis Haslem, either.

Now they have to figure out something much tougher -- how to come back from a 3-1 deficit.

Wade had 31 points, eight assists and seven rebounds, and the Miami Heat beat New Jersey 102-92 to move within a game of a second straight trip to the Eastern Conference finals.

The Heat can now wrap it up when they host Game 5 on Tuesday night in Miami.

Walker scored 20 points on 7-of-11 shooting and Haslem added 20 points and 11 rebounds, shooting 8-of-11. Jason Kidd tried to rally the Nets, collecting his ninth postseason triple-double with 17 points, 13 rebounds and 12 assists

Vince Carter added 26 points and Richard Jefferson scored 17. Nenad Krstic had 20 points and 14 rebounds.

Clippers 114, Suns 107

LOS ANGELES -- Elton Brand dominated the inside again. And Sam Cassell bounced back from a dreadful performance with a beauty.

Brand had 30 points, nine rebounds and eight assists, Cassell added 28 points, 11 rebounds and nine assists and the Los Angeles Clippers beat the Phoenix Suns 114-107 Sunday night to even the Western Conference semifinals 2-2.

Game 5 in the best-of-seven series is Tuesday night in Phoenix.

Phoenix star Steve Nash was held to eight points and 11 assists.

The Suns scored 11 straight points to move within one before Brand made an 18-foot jumper with 56 seconds remaining and Cassell hit a 3-pointer with 27 seconds left to clinch the victory.
