There was one thing that the Miami Heat needed to do in Game 5 this week against the Indiana Pacers and they faield to do it. As a result they are now looking at a Game 6 situation which has become as much of a ‘must win’ as it gets, as this Miami heat team cannot afford the stress of a Game 7.
They may win Game 7, should it arise, but they’d much rather close the Pacers out now and not have to worry about a final game in this series being an elimination game for them. Instead, the Heat would much rather make Game 6 their final game, but that’s something the Indiana Pacers are hoping to blow away.
