Pacers-Heat Preview

MIAMI (AP) Several times around the start of these playoffs, Miami coach Erik Spoelstra insisted that the postseason path his team would wind up navigating had the potential to be more challenging than the route they took to the NBA championship a year ago.

He's apparently correct, probably to his own chagrin.

The defending NBA champion Heat are in a bit of trouble. They can't get enough rebounds, can't get Dwyane Wade on track, can't get consistency out of Chris Bosh - and will likely see all those story lines either grow exponentially or basically disappear Thursday night, when they host to the Indiana Pacers in Game 5 of a super-competitive Eastern Conference finals that's now knotted at two games apiece.

"We have a great locker room of Alpha competitors," Spoelstra said Wednesday. "And so they take this very seriously. We're playing against a worthy opponent and if we don't play well, they beat us. If they don't play well and we impose our identity, we beat them. That's what this is all about. So let's lace `em up and let's get ready for Game 5."

Game 6 will be in Indiana on Saturday night, while the Western Conference champion San Antonio Spurs keep waiting to see who they'll face in the NBA Finals starting on June 6.

History says the Game 5 winner when a series is tied at 2-2 has a colossal upper hand, though that's an axiom that the Heat both proved and disproved last season.

When the Heat and Pacers split the first four games of their second-round series last year, Miami rolled to a 115-83 home win in Game 5 and captured the series in six games. One round later, Miami lost a home Game 5 of the East finals to Boston, then went on the road for Game 6 and got a virtuoso 45-point night from LeBron James to stave off elimination before coming home and winning a nailbiter of a Game 7 to advance.

Given all that, it's no wonder why Spoelstra said the Heat aren't looking back at any series as a blueprint for how the final acts of this one should go.

"We don't need confidence to go into any game," James said. "We're a confident bunch. We're excited to get the opportunity to go back to our home and play Game 5."

Confidence is not exactly in short supply around the Pacers right now, either.

Indiana came into the series saying - and believing - that it could find a way to oust the team that was virtually preordained as a champion entering these playoffs. That hasn't changed.

"We've got to be at our best," Pacers coach Frank Vogel said Wednesday. "Our intensity, our determination, our focus, we've got to keep getting better if we're going to beat this team."

The statistical trends probably aren't surprising. The Heat have scored 402 points, the Pacers 394. The Heat have shot 47 percent from the field, the Pacers 46 percent. The Pacers have shot 37 percent from 3-point range, the Heat 34 percent.

Miami is better at forcing turnovers, the Pacers are better at rebounding. Miami has forced Indiana into 14 more turnovers in the series, but the Pacers are outrebounding the Heat by 10 boards per game. Pacers center Roy Hibbert is averaging 12 rebounds; Bosh has grabbed 13 rebounds - total - in the series, or as many as Miami guard Ray Allen has despite being half a foot shorter and playing 32 fewer minutes.

"We know what they run, they know what we run," Hibbert said. "So I guess it's more about who wants it more."

Hibbert has had no match in this series. Miami plays without a true center, and Bosh often ends up in the same general spots on offense as a guard would. So at 7-foot-2, Hibbert almost seems like he has permission to do whatever he wants in the paint, and has picked the right time to play the series of his life.

"We don't want to go home," Hibbert said. "Miami is one of the best teams, along with San Antonio, and we know we have an uphill battle and we trust each other and love each other and that's just grown, that love for each other. This is probably the first team I've felt like that about because last year even there were some guys were not all about winning."

That can't be said now.

"We understand that the champs are going to come back and be ready to play at home," Pacers star Paul George said. "And we need to be ready to come out and play well."

Game 5 was a cavalcade of mistakes for the Heat, who had their second-worst shooting night of the entire season at 39 percent.

James fouled out for only the fifth time in his career, though Miami was clearly miffed at some late-game calls. Bosh went 1 for 6 with only three rebounds. Wade, that aching right knee still apparently an issue, missed 10 of his 15 shots. And despite it all, the Heat still had the lead in the final minutes.

"We missed an opportunity to go up 3-1," Bosh said. "But we did get home-court back. We did our job. We have to come out and play with a lot of passion."

Wade, who's averaging an uncharacteristically low 13.4 points in his last 10 games, was more succinct: "Our whole team has to do more," he said.

Being in a 2-2 series isn't the right time for Heat panic over now being in what amounts to a best-of-three, or Heat lament over anything that isn't going their way, Spoelstra said. At one point Wednesday, he took his left fist and right fist, banged them together to make a point, and insisted that the series will simply be won by the team that does enough to deserve a chance at facing the Spurs for the title.

"Our guys have respect for the other team in that locker room," Spoelstra said. "We know nothing is earned easy in this series. We've got to work for it. Being home doesn't guarantee anything."

James scores 30, Heat take Game 5, 90-79

By TIM REYNOLDS
Posted May 31 2013 12:27AM

MIAMI (AP) The game was very much in doubt. A sold-out arena was basically silent. The chance of getting back to the NBA Finals for a third straight year could have slipped away.

Cue LeBron James.

A third quarter for the ages by the four-time MVP turned the game, and perhaps the entire Eastern Conference finals, around. James scored 16 of his 30 points in the quarter, fueling what was a 20-point turnaround at one point, and the Heat beat the Indiana Pacers 90-79 in Game 5 on Thursday night.

The Heat lead the series 3-2, with a chance to finish it off in Indiana on Saturday night and move on to a finals matchup with the San Antonio Spurs.

"That's what I came here for, to be able to compete for a championship each and every year," James said. "I'm one step away from doing it once again. It's not promised. It's not promised at all. I made a tough decision. Obviously, I think we all know the story. I envisioned something that was bigger as far as a team ... and we've got an opportunity as a team, once again, for the third year straight to make a trip to the NBA Finals."

Indiana was up 46-40 early in the third, surely sensing a chance to grab total control of the series. Over the next 11 minutes, the Heat outscored the Pacers 30-10, with James either scoring or accounting for 25 Miami points. He shot 7 for 10 in the third quarter; the Pacers shot 3 for 14. He had four rebounds in the quarter; the Pacers, as a team, grabbed six. He had four assists in the quarter; the Pacers had one.

"That's LeBron showing his greatness and making it look easy," Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. "What we talked about was doing whatever it takes and competing for each other without leaving anything out there. His engine in that third quarter was incredible. He was tireless, he was making plays on both ends of the court, rebounding, covering so much ground defensively and then making virtually every play for us offensively. It's really remarkable."

James added eight rebounds and six assists, and Udonis Haslem made his last eight shots on the way to a 16-point night. Mario Chalmers scored 12 and Dwyane Wade added 10 for the Heat, who ousted the Pacers in six games in a second-round matchup last season and will look to do the same this time around, albeit one round deeper.

Paul George had 27 points and 11 rebounds for the Pacers, who got 22 points from Roy Hibbert and 17 from David West. The Pacers led by as many as seven at one point, but had no answer for the Heat in the third and now have to win back-to-back games - against a team that hasn't lost consecutive games since early January.

"I don't really know," Pacers coach Frank Vogel said, when asked if there's anything a team can do when James gets on a roll like the one he had in the third quarter. "He was pretty special tonight. There's no question about it. This whole team is special. It's one of the best teams that this league's ever seen and we're enjoying competing against them. We know we can beat them, but we've got to play better than we did tonight."

Haslem said Juwan Howard threw a few things in the locker room and had a few choice words for teammates at halftime - "a lot of bleeps and stuff like that," Haslem said - and that James echoed the same remarks just before the start of the third.

"We had 24 minutes to play for our livelihoods," Haslem said. "And that's how we played in the second half."

Haslem's first shot of the night was a complete brick, bouncing off the top of the backboard. He was perfect the rest of the way, including going 5 for 5 in the third.

For the second time in the series, Haslem - who has struggled with his shot for the better part of two years - finished 8 for 9.

"That burned us," Vogel said.

Haslem got past Hibbert easily and into the lane for a dunk that put Miami up 47-46, the first Heat lead since 4-2. The Pacers were back on top by a point with 6:58 left in the third when fighting words reappeared, on a play where George Hill was called for an offensive foul after getting caught pushing off on a drive. West angrily approached Chalmers after the play and both of those players, along with Haslem, got technicals when it was all said and done.

It clearly fired up Miami.

James and Haslem combined to score 18 of their team's 21 points in the final 6:04 of the third. Everything came on jump shots, including a 3-pointer from Chalmers, three jumpers averaging 20 feet from Haslem, and five more from James, including a 3-pointer with 16 seconds left in the quarter that put Miami up 70-56 and had him yelling at no one in particular as the arena roared.

"We didn't have enough fight," West said. "We stalled."

George didn't sound overly impressed even after James' third-quarter numbers.

"He just came out and make some shots," George said. "You take away that third, and we're in the ballgame."

As if this one needed any more buildup, there was plenty of news long before tipoff.

The NBA announced Thursday morning that it fined James, West and Lance Stephenson $5,000 each for flopping in Game 4, plus upgraded a foul that West committed against Wade in the fourth quarter of that game to a flagrant-1. Then Hibbert and West, speaking after Indiana's morning practice, said they have to protect their knees when Shane Battier is in the game for Miami, though neither flatly accused the Heat forward of dirty play.

And all that happened more than eight hours prior to game time.

Things didn't exactly calm down once the ball went into the air.

Indiana was blown out in Game 5 of a tied-up series at Miami last season, never holding the lead and losing by 32 points. This one took a much different tone from the outset, with the Pacers running out to a 15-9 lead that could have been worse for Miami given that West and Hibbert combined to miss three easy layups in the opening minutes.

"There's no question, we blew some opportunities in the first quarter," Vogel said.

George and Hibbert combined for all of Indiana's 23 points in the first quarter. Indiana's lead was four after the period, and when the second began, the reminders that these teams simply do not like each other started coming fast and furious.

Chris Andersen and Tyler Hansbrough needed to be separated early in the second, and both got technicals after Andersen appeared to hit Hansbrough twice, first with a shoulder and then with a two-hand shove. Andersen also picked up a flagrant-1 for his efforts, things cooled off a bit for the rest of the half, and Indiana went into the break up 44-40.

The Pacers then scored the first basket of the third.

After that, all Heat. Or more specifically, all James and Haslem, who put together a burst that the defending champions desperately needed.

"It's the playoffs," Wade said. "Shane Battier said this is when you feel alive, when your back's against the wall. ... You've got to go out there and play. This is what we prepared for all season."

A year ago, the Heat lost Game 5 of the East finals to Boston, and needed a 45-point game from James in Game 6 just to extend their season.

Not this time.

The finals are now one win away.

"We were able to respond," James said.

NOTES: The last time Haslem had a 10-point third quarter was also against Indiana - but in March 2009. ... David Beckham was courtside near the Heat bench, Floyd Mayweather Jr. was courtside near the Pacers' bench. ... Hansbrough left in the fourth quarter with a sprained right ankle after falling over Battier, who was down on the court after going for a rebound. ... Both teams seemed a tad nervous in the opening moments. Wade had two airballs in the first quarter, Haslem had a jumper bounce off the top of the backboard, and Hill tossed an alley-oop that missed everybody and bounced off the backboard like a fastball.

Notebook: Heat 90, Pacers 79

Zachary Paul, for NBA.com
Posted Fri May 31, 2013 12:11 AM - Updated Fri May 31, 2013 12:11 AM

THE FACTS: LeBron James scored 16 of his game-high 30 points in the third quarter to lead the Miami Heat to a 90-79 comeback victory against the Indiana Pacers Thursday in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference finals to take a 3-2 series lead.

The series heads back to Indiana Saturday for Game 6.

Miami trailed most of the game before taking control in the third quarter. Led by James, they quickly erased a four-point halftime deficit and are now just one victory from advancing to the NBA Finals for a third straight season. The winner of this matchup will play the San Antonio Spurs in the Finals.

James made 13-for-26 from the field, including three 3-pointers. He also had eight rebounds and six assists. With Chris Bosh and Dwyane Wade combining for just 17 points, the Heat received big lifts from Udonis Haslem and Mario Chalmers. Haslem scored 16 points on 8-for-9 shooting, while Chalmers had 12 points and six assists.

Paul George led the Pacers with 27 points and 11 rebounds. Center Roy Hibbert finished with 22 points on 8-for-14 shooting.

QUOTABLE: "Well, that's playoff competition at its best. The second half we played much more aggressively and committed to our identity and was able to take that through to the end. We've already talked about leaving that behind. This is a so highly competitive series. Now we have to get ready for Game 6."

--Heat coach Erik Spoelstra

THE STAT: The Pacers only had 13 points outside of their front court of Hibbert, George and David West.

TURNING POINT: After an awful first half, the Heat came out with a sense of urgency in the third quarter. They started with an 11-3 run and never looked back. The Heat outscored the Pacers 30-13 in the quarter.

QUOTABLE II: "[James] was pretty special tonight. There's no question about it. This whole team is special. They're one of the best teams this league has ever seen. We're enjoying competing against them."

--Pacers coach Frank Vogel

HOT: After somewhat of a slow start, James took control in the third quarter. He did it mostly with his midrange game but also found time to affect the game as a facilitator and defender. His scoring was needed with Bosh and Wade struggling in the early going.

NOT: It's been and up-and-down series for Pacers guard Lance Stephenson. He grabbed all the headlines in Game 4 only to have all sorts of difficulties tonight. He missed his first four shots and played out of control at times.

GOOD MOVE: The Heat needed to attack the paint more and the spark was Chalmers. Early on, he was the only player who didn't shy from taking the ball toward Hibbert. It gave the Heat a sense they could crack the Pacers' interior defense.

BAD MOVE: The referees made a controversial call when Heat center Chris "Birdman" Andersen remained in the game after shoving Pacers forward Tyler Hansbrough in the second quarter. The play was similar to when Chicago Bulls center Nazr Mohammed was ejected for pushing James in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference semifinals.

NOTABLE: The 16 points in the third quarter were the most by a Heat player in a quarter this postseason ... Andersen has made all 15 of his shots in the series ... Wade has been held under 20 points in 11 straight games.

UP NEXT: Game 6 is at 8:30 p.m., Saturday at Bankers Life Fieldhouse.
