James, Wade take home-court edge from Pacers
And just like that, the home-court advantage is gone for the Indiana Pacers. And they can blame LeBron James and Dwyane Wade for that.
Wade and James combined to score 70 of their team's points in Miami's 101-93 victory over the Pacers.
The series is tied 2-2 with Game 5 Tuesday in Miami.
"They're on such a high level, it's tough," Pacers forward Danny Granger said.
The Pacers had an eight-point lead when Wade and James strapped the Heat on their backs and took off.
The two All-Stars went through a stretch where they scored 38 straight points to help Miami lead by eight points by the time their scoring streak had ended.
Wade and James outscored the Pacers 28-16 in the third quarter when the game changed completely in Miami's favor.
"They took this game and seemed to play as if it were their last game," Pacers guard Paul George said. "My job was to try to keep a body on James sometimes and help slow him down. He and Wade are proven winners and they know how to win."
