Picking up the steam, LeBron James and Dwayne Wade led the Heat in tying the series 1-1 against the Pacers after Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Final. With an 87-83 win, James had 22 points, 6 assists, 2 steals, and 3 blocks, and Wade scored 20 points.
The Pacers top performer in Game 2 was Lance Stephenson, who had his playoff career high with 25 points. Paul George scored 14.
The two teams battled each other that at times looked more like a football game due to the collisions, flagrant fouls, and physical contacts.
While Pacers put up hard picks, tight defense, the Heat managed to make a comeback in the third quarter when they trailed 63-56. James closed out the quarter by finding Chris Bosh and Cole for open 3-pointers to make it 63-62. Then, James scored a 3-pointer, and followed up by six straight shots that finished off the game.
In Game 1, the Heat made just 6 of 23 3-pointers, grabbed just four offensive rebounds and fouled 37 times. The Pacers shot 51.5 percent from the field.
Coming into the Finals, the Heat defeated the Nets 4-1, and the Pacers 4-2 over the Wizards. The two Eastern Conference elite teams began their final stretch towards the championship, where the winner will play against the Western Conference winner.
In the series against Wizards, the Pacers limited the Wizards' scoring to a franchise-record low. It is still a question whether the Pacers will be able to apply the same strategies against the Heat.
The Heat have shown great teamwork. While LeBron James was heavily guarded, the rest of the team took over the responsibilities of scoring. This was the reason that Heat was able to defeat the Brooklyn Nets that veteran players like Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce.
The highlight of the best-of-7 series matchup beginning today is that former MVP LeBron James will be matching up against NBA's next young superstar, Paul George. In the last two years, the Heat have won the championship despite Pacers' strenuous efforts to elongate the series.
The Heat have effectively eliminated their opponents thus far with their strong perimeter shots, while Indiana has been the No. 1 defensive team for their tough inside guys.
"Two best teams in the Eastern Conference. It's that simple," James said, according to AP. "I mean both teams defend at a high level, both teams share the ball, both teams get into the paint, both teams have a desire to win, so that's why it's been equal."
