Lebron and Wade dominate: Ray Allen hits 4 three pointers to help Heat take a 2-1 series lead over Pacers

When I watched the first half, I thought the Pacers could maybe run away with this game being up 17-4.  Never forget whether you're a Heat fan or not, the Miami Heat know how to turn up the Heat in the second half.  Miami did not start strong, but I think in basketball it doesn't matter how you start, it matters how you finish.  The Heat knew how to finish the game.  The Heat were down 42-38 at halftime to the top seeded Eastern Conference team Indiana Pacers.  In the second half is when Miami played their game outscoring the Pacers 61-45.  The Miami Heat take a 2-1 lead in the series by defeating the Indiana Pacers 99-87.  I think the Pacers made the mistake in the second half by not attacking more inside.  Here are the top 5 scorers for the Heat and the Pacers.

Top 5 Miami Heat scorers

1. Lebron James- 26 points, 7 assists, 5 rebounds, 4 steals, 9/14 FG, 7/9 FT, 1/2- 3PTFG

What adjustments should Pacers coach Frank Vogel do for game 4?  I think he should have Luis Scola in more in the second half.  The third quarter is when Miami started picking up things and just took over.  The Pacers need to watch their game tapes, and adjust how they are going to guard Ray Allen.  It's hard to stop Lebron and Wade, but when Ray Allen steps up you've got to put some bodies on him especially in the corner.  So what were you're thoughts on game 3?  Send me your comments on what you think about this game.
