Looks like the Pacers will have a good chance to take this one. They can play with the Heat. LeBron needs to erupt in the 2nd half for Miami to get comfy.
No wait... If there's anything working against the Pacers, it's the difficulty they've had closing out quarters.
Don't worry guys, Andersen will be given the flagrant AFTER the game is over and he has putback the game winning shot.
i'm not sure how the pacers aren't up 15. the heat came out like they didn't know the game started at 7:30, the pacers are hitting jumpers, and the heat can't shoot straight. it's surprising they are only up this much.
twice in the playoffs already the heat have been flagrant fouled and the refs on the court didn't call it and it was only upgraded later by the league. i assume the same thing would happen here.
they also made a lot of jumpers. they shot 51.4% from the field and hit 50% of their 3's, well above their averages. i think george and hibbert had only 4 layups between them and still shot a combined 12-18. and david west finished off the scoring with a very difficult jumper over bosh that rattled in off the rim and the glass.
