The Rundown:
Indiana pulled off a Houdini-esque escape act in game 5, putting together a complete performance with their backs against the wall. Back in Miami for game 6, they'll now have to replicate that performance in enemy territory.
LeBron James will look to rebound after a disastrous game 5 - stymied and frustrated by foul trouble, James only managed seven points in 24 minutes.
Despite James' struggles and stellar play from Paul George (37 points, six rebounds, six steals), the story of the game was Lance Stephenson. From blowing in LeBron's ear to sneaking into a Miami Huddle' Stephenson's tactics exasperated both Heat players and his own management. In a pivotal game 6, Stephenson will have to find a positive way to channel his energy...if he can't, the Pacers won't be able to send the series back to Indianapolis for game 7.
