Behind a ridiculous 41 points on 17 of 25 shooting from Dwayne Wade, Miami closes out the Pacers 105-93 in Game 6 to advance to the Eastern Conference Final.
What a turnaround from three games ago, with Miami down in the series 2-1 after a humiliating Game 3 defeat in which Dwayne Wade scored just five points, to tonight in which Wade simply took over the game in the second quarter as the Heat hung in the game despite Indiana's hot shooting.
In the second half, as Indiana continued to turn the ball over time and time again, Wade and the Heat built a double digit lead which would be insurmountable for the Pacers.
David West had 24 points and kept Indy close, but in the end, the Pacers simply couldn't execute offensively with consistency, and, as they have the whole series, couldn't solve Miami's fronting post defense.
The Heat will await the winner of the Celtics/76ers Game 7 Saturday night and will host Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals Monday back in South Beach.
