INDIANAPOLIS -- Indiana Pacers coach Nate McMillan might face a classic choice many confronted over the past decade: Do you double-team LeBron James?
The Pacers' game plan through the first five games has been to play James within their standard defensive system. They have altered pick-and-roll schemes at times but generally have played James straight up, relying on conventional help defense to try and make things tough while also taking care of his teammates.
The series has stayed close, but James has tortured Indiana yet again. He's averaging 35 points, 11.4 rebounds and eight assists while also shooting 55 percent.
