This is not how you draw it up and if that much talked about Home Court stays true the Heat's Dreams of a Three-Peat will end versus a Team that looked a shell of themselves until Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals 2K14.
The Pacers coasted with the Heat no real threat to a 107-96 "W" as the Pacers lived at the Free Throw Line. Indy goes 29 for 37 from the Stripe and the Heat just 10 of 15 and do the math. That is +19 in points and +24 in Attempts and the Heat or the Refs or both need to clean that up! Yes Wade County had a game-high 27 points and King James added 25 points and grabbed ten oranges. Miami inability to attack and hit the Money Ball (that's Miami's Equalizer in this Series as Indy doesn't shoot it well at all) and keep Pacers Point Guard George Hill out of the lane was their downfall on top of those 26 fouls.
The Pacers get all five Starters in double figures led by PG-24's 24 points and seven helpers including a cool 7 for 13 from he field and its was his efficiency that counted. "Area 55" and D-West both add 19 points and combined for sixteen boards and six helpers was huge in the paint! Lance 17 points and eight boards along with G-Hill stating in Attack Mode off the Pick and Roll as the Heat were too concerned with D-West as the Pop Guy had 15 points and was 6 for 6 from the stripe! Heat's biggest adjustment will be how they play they Pick and Pop or Pick and Roll with Hill and West along with getting to the rim and out in transition.
Pacers up 1-0 as maybe Indy knows something we don't as they have been playing with Fool's Gold until their best game of Winning Time today versus the Heat.
