Miami Heat 1-1 Indiana Pacers
Time: Sunday, May 26 at 8:30 P.M. ET
TV Network: TNT
At: Bankers Life Fieldhouse, Indiana
The Indiana Pacers managed to split the first two games against the Miami Heat in South Beach, and take a 1-1 tie back home. Sunday evening, the Pacers will try to repeat history and win game 3, thus taking a 2-1 lead in the series just like they did against Miami in last year’s playoffs.
LeBron James followed up his impressive triple-double in game 1 with another sensational scoring performance in game 2, but ultimately became the scapegoat for the loss, as he turned the ball over twice in critical moments.
Players to watch
Miami Heat – Ray Allen has not quite found his offense lately. LeBron has been carrying a huge load, but the Heat need someone outside of the Big 3 to also contribute and Allen needs to step up his game.
Indiana Pacers – Roy Hibbert’s offense has been consistent in this series and the big man is really proving to be the game-changer. If he can continue to provide big numbers on the offensive end the Heat could be in trouble yet again.
Prediction: Miami Heat win.
