Jaquez scores 32, Ware blocks 7 shots and Heat roll past Wizards 152-136

MIAMI (AP) — Jaime Jaquez Jr. scored 32 points before dashing out to fly to the NCAA women's basketball title game, Kel'el Ware finished with 24 points, 19 rebounds and seven blocks, and the Miami Heat rolled past the Washington Wizards 152-136 on Saturday.

Bam Adebayo — who scored 83 points in Miami's last game with Washington — faced a triple-team on his first possession and scored 14 for Miami. Andrew Wiggins had 21 and Pelle Larsson scored 16 for the Heat. Adebayo also had nine rebounds and seven assists.

Miami reached 150 points for the third time in franchise history. It scored 153 against New Orleans last April 11 — and finished with 150 against the Wizards in Adebayo's 83-point night on March 10.

Will Riley scored 31 for Washington, which has reached the 60-loss mark for the third straight season. Sharife Cooper scored 20 for the Wizards, who trailed by as many as 35 at one point.

Jaquez was heading to Phoenix for the women's final — he's a UCLA grad and his sister, Gabriela, plays for the Bruins, who'll face South Carolina on Sunday.

“That’s the beauty of their family relationship. They really support each other," Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. "We’ve gotten to know his sister from all the times that she has visited. And it’s awesome to see.”

The Heat paid tribute to retiring public address announcer Michael Baiamonte, who is making this his 35th and final season. He got a standing ovation from fans after the first quarter.

“I’ve enjoyed the greatest seat to some of the greatest basketball in the world,” Baiamonte said.

Wizards: Visit Brooklyn on Sunday.

Heat: Visit Toronto on Tuesday.

Lens was overwhelmed by northern rival Lille 3-0 and lost ground in the Ligue 1 title race after the Derby du Nord was briefly interrupted because of discriminatory chanting on Saturday.

A day after Paris Saint-Germain increased its lead to four points by beating Toulouse 3-1, Lens endured an off night. PSG is in an ideal position to retain its league title as it has a game in hand over second-placed Lens going into the final rounds.

The game was halted in the 35th minute and the announcer at Stade Pierre-Mauroy urged the Lille fans to stop the insults hurled at their opponents. The referee threatened to take the players back to the dressing room.

After the game resumed, Matias Fernandez-Pardo delivered an assist and scored to guide his team to third place, nine points behind Lens.

Hákon Haraldsson put the host ahead just before the interval, finishing a swift move sparked by a long, precise pass from Lille captain Aïssa Mandi. Fernandez-Pardo burst down the left flank then slipped the ball between two defenders and found the unmarked Haraldsson at the far post.

An embarrassing mix-up led to Lille's second goal. Matthieu Udol's poor back pass was intercepted by Felix Correia after Nidal Celik let the ball run. The Portuguese winger was quicker to the ball than goalkeeper Robin Risser and scored in an empty net in the 50th.

Lens later was awarded a penalty after Ismaëlo Ganiou handled the ball in the box. Fernandez-Pardo wrongfooted Risser from the spot to put the Derby du Nord firmly beyond Lens.

Without its top striker, Strasbourg extended its unbeaten run in all competitions to 10 matches with a 3-1 win over Nice.

Joaquín Panichelli tore his right ACL while training with Argentina last week and underwent surgery on Thursday. He will miss the World Cup and maybe the start of next season, too. Panichelli leads the French league with 16 goals.

In his absence, winger Martial Godo and Samir El-Mourabet delighted the home fans to keep eighth-placed Strasbourg in contention for a European spot.

Godo hit the crossbar after 24 minutes and broke the deadlock soon after with another header into the far corner. They went into halftime 3-0 ahead after scores from midfielders Julio Enciso and El-Mourabet, the latter striking a beautiful half-volley from outside the box.

After dribbling past the Nice goalkeeper to make it 2-0, Enciso put on a jersey emblazoned with the name Panichelli before celebrating his goal in front of the Strasbourg fans.

More good news for Strasbourg was the sight of captain Emanuel Emegha, who will join Chelsea next season, returning from a four-month injury layoff when he went on in the 77th.

Defender Antoine Mendy pulled one back in the 82nd for Nice, which slumped to a 15th defeat. Strasbourg and Nice will face off again in the French Cup semifinals on April 22.

Rennes won a spectacular encounter at Brest 4-3. Esteban Lepaul scored twice from the penalty spot including the winner.

The visitors came from behind after Junior Dina Ebimbe also had a brace for Brest.

Lepaul netted the winner from the spot in the 74th. Goalkeeper Grégoire Coudert dived the right way but couldn't get enough touch to stop the strike.

Rennes rose to sixth place, just three points behind Lille.
