With the Eastern Conference Finals between the Indiana Pacers and the Miami Heat knotted at 1-1, Game 3 looms as a critical point in an already entertaining series. The landscape shifts to Miami for the next two games, seemingly lending an advantage to the two-time defending champion Heat, but the biggest storyline for this particular match-up rests with a player on the side of the Pacers.
Indiana star swingman Paul George was diagnosed with a concussion following a Game 2 incident, but while there was some worry that he would be unable to play, the Pacers announced that George was cleared by doctors to participate. It will be incredibly interesting to see how George responds, especially in a game that could be seen as a critical one for Indiana, but if LeBron James and the Heat play at their maximum level, George’s improved condition may not be enough to overcome Miami.
