    Pacers called a TO because they couldn't get ball in after a basket 22 seconds into 2nd half. Never seen that before.

    Dwyane Wade's shoes look Rondald McDonaldy. Still, that was a heck of a 1st half.

    Wade posted his first scoreless 1st-half of his playoff career and then set a new 1st-half high -- all in a week's time.

    Miami's 4 threes vs. Indiana's 12-for-13 FTs are also helping keep this game virtually knotted. Pacers up 34-16 in the paint.

    Dwyane Wade's 20 points in the second quarter ties a career-high. Most ever in a playoff game for him.

    Miami shooting 51.3% and Indiana shooting 58.8%. So much for the defensive slog fest we saw most of the series. IND 11 TOs hurting them.

    Forget UD, Wade looks like he's playing for three days of rest. That would be huge for him.

    Indiana heads to the locker room 53-51. Best offensive half, cumulatively by both teams, of the series. Both teams focused, scoring easy.
