The Panthers never trailed in a 3-2 home victory over the Tampa Bay Lightning that foretold a competitive series but one that finds the Cats the clear favorite.
The Heat never led and seldom got close in a 114-94 loss at the Boston Celtics to open a series that saw Miami a huge underdog even before the injury-absence of top star Jimmy Butler.
The hockey series could get good and last long. The basketball series could get ugly and be quick.
Tampa made it seem close for a 3-2 final on a power-play score with 9.3 seconds left.
