Chris Bosh came to play tonight, ladies and gentlemen.
The former Toronto Raptor had his share of struggles in this series, but he has managed to atone for that tonight by playing like the All-Star that Miami Heat fans expect him to be. Bosh heads into the locker room going 7-of-11 from the field and 3-of-5 from long distance.
The Heat knew that they'd need a boost from somewhere with Chris "Birdman: Andersen out due to a thigh injury and Bosh has done nothing but pick up the pieces. And of course, you know LeBron James is doing his thing. He's got 15 points and four rebounds. If there's anything that the Heat hasn't done well in this game is simply shoot the ball. They have knocked down 48 percent of their shots.
I said it earlier and I'll say it again. Indiana needs to win this game. They've got their work cut out for them. The Pacers have gotten no contributions from Roy Hibbert or Lance Stephenson, each with no points. Another disturbing stat is that Indy only had two free throws in the first half. Frank Vogel's squad is not being aggressive enough. They've got to get to the line and give themselves a chance to get a few free points.
A major boost for Indy has been Luis Scola. Off the bench, Scola has provided eight points. Still the Pacers are going to need to tighten things up on all ends to give themselves a chance to split going back to Bankers Life Fieldhouse.
Look for Paul George to be more aggressive in the second half, but look for Wade to make his mark in the second half as well.
