The Miami Heat made it known from the tip that if the Pacers were going to hit the Winner's Circle and 2%...they were going to be uncomfortable doing it. Miami came with that fast and quick Defensive Prowess that has ultimately led them to Back to Back Chips. Rotations, Help and Recovery, contesting all Shots, and getting into the Pacers Chest on "D" was their game 2 Calling Card hence the Heat pull out a game 2 "W" 87-83.
Yes Lance Stephenson of the BK and the "Born Ready" Moniker went straight NYC Summer Courts on the Heat with a game-high 25 points. He carried the Pacers through the 3rd frame scoring 11 of his 25 in that frame. But in the end it was Wade County (10 pts in 4th Frame) and King James (12 pts in 4th frame) that came together to close out the Pacers as only the great ones do. Wade ended with 23 points, five assists, and five boards. King James went 22 points, seven boards, and six helpers. The Charity Stripe was 11/18 for the Heat and 10/15 for the Pacers and imagine that!
The Pacers again had all five Starter in Double figures with Lance leading and "Area 55" adding a dozen points with thirteen boards. PG-24 had 14 points with G-Hill 13 points as George struggled and settled for way too many J's as he still doesn't seem to understand when you can't get anything going get to the rim and to the foul line to see the Spalding Orange go in #BasketballIQ.
Now we head back to the 305 at 1-1 as the Heat Bench outscored the Pacers Bench in Game 2 by the score of 20-9. Game 2 is Saturday May 24th at 8:30pm ET...
