I blame Sam Young for that turnover. Why didn't he have his warmup top on? It's not like he was about to check in.

Paul George turnover. That's classic Pacers turnover at the worst possible time. Miami ball. Under 24 left. Up by two.

Vogel puts in Sam Young for defense. Wade gets open easily. Layup. Puts Miami up two. 36.3 to play.

I liked Bosh-Lebron flat ballscreens. Hibbert stays home. Not sure why we've seen so few. James on the run tough for Hibbert to stop.

David West averaged 23 points & shot 67% against Heat in regular season. He was looking forward to this matchup.

LIKE A BOSH. Huge bucket. Scores on Roy HIbbert. Miami up four. Hibbert answers though. Down just two for Indiana.

Anyone remember Fesenko? He could have been Hibbert. Just needed to be serious.

Wade over-aggressive on the denial. Fouls Paul George. But he goes just 1-for-2 at the line. Miami up 2 with 2:16 to play.

Also, someone should scatter pieces of bread all around the podium. Birdman should be headed that way.

Best foul call I've ever seen from Tony Brothers. He was, umm, very specific as to where West was hit.
