Game 5 goes to the Heat in Slugfest

This game was intense, physical and downright dirty. The Heat dominated in every category and pulled out a 115 - 83 win to get a 3-2 series lead on the Pacers. But that doesn't mean that one side did all the damage, in fact both sides did damage to the players physically. Flagrant fouls were were plentiful as UD, Hansborough, and Pittman all were causing trouble. Pittman's was the worst by far as Stevenson was going for the offensive rebound and Pittman literally elbowed him in the neck, trying to box out. It was a reckless play and will most likely result in his suspension. Haslem's foul liked like a punch to Hansborough's face and seemed to be a ejection in the making, but was only called for a Flagrant One. Game 6 will be Thursday in Indiana, and with Granger day to day with a sprained ankle; the Heat look to finish the series. IF that were to happen, Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals would be either on Saturday if Boston beats the 76ers on Wednesday, or on Monday if the Sixers win. Either way the road doesn't get any easier for "El Calor" (the Heat).

Stay Schemin people
