The Miami Heat and Indiana Pacers Series has turned in favor of the Heat but until how long. The Heat get a big third frame and open the game up vs the Pacers and win 90-79. King James had a big 3rd frame as the hoops world knew he would and finished with a game-high 30 points to go along with eight rebounds and six helpers. Rated PG-24 of Gold Swagger led the Pacers with a cool 27 points, eleven boards and five assists. Both Top Guns played well but it was the Actors in a Supporting Role that rose to the occasion of failed miserably.

Earlier in the day I said the Pacers Success from my vantage point largely looms on their back court of Hill and Stephenson. Look closely in game five Hill goes for 1 point and Lance for four points. With PG-24 getting 27, Area 55 adding 22 points, and D-West 17 points and eight rebounds you would have said that was plenty to get a game five win. Throw in the Heat's Chalmers, Cole, Wade, and Allen they combined for 33 points now do the math...a +28 from the Heat back court. That will not get it done for the Pacers and that has to be the game plan moving forward for the Heat in game six to take away the Pacers back court.

The Heat also played well enough on the defensive end to hold the Pacers to under 50% from the field and under 40% from the Arc. Pacers had seventeen turnovers and was -6 with the Money Ball. Now the Heat head to Indy for a game six on Saturday Night for an Elimination Game. The Pacers have to now win two in a row and the last of two in Dade County.
