Miami Heat v Indiana Pacers, Game 5: LeBron James leads the way as Heat take 3-2 series lead (video)

After LeBron James ridiculous scoring in Game 4 the Heat knew that it would be hard for James to do the same again. Heat had home court advantage and needed to take the game to the Pacers and they did just that. LeBron James made 30 points while Dwayne Wade got in with 28 points.

The Heat now lead that series 3-2 and have a chance to see the  series out when they travel to Indianapolis. The Pacers will be concerned after injuries to Danny Granger and David West.

Heat coach Erik Spoelstra on the Heats focus: “This is our challenge right now, to leave it behind us and really commit to keep this edge.”

Pacers coach Frank Vogel : “Certainly not having Danny Granger out there on the court to guard a match up like LeBron James challenges your depth. We have to try to overcome that. We have a good basketball team. We have to bounce back and win Game 6.”
