Top Performers:
Player Of The Game:

Danny Granger

Quote Of The Game:
"We pounded the ball inside to Chris for a majority of the 1st half. Danny wasn't struggling or anything but we were asserting ourselves down low. Danny started knocking down 3's and kept calling for the ball every trip down in the 2nd half though. We just rode the hot hand and pulled away in the 2nd half." - Wally Szczerbiak

damn, 10 3 pointers? luol deng's gotta work harder on defense

Injuries:


With Dwyane Wade already out nursing an injury, Mario Chalmers suffered a severe ankle sprain in the Heat's last game against the Bucks. While Wade will return in time for the start of the playoffs, Chalmers will miss about 25 days and could miss some of the early playoff action. More importantly, with both of the Heat's backcourt starters out, the risk of them losing their #1 spot in the East and homecourt advantage throughout the playoffs is as high as it will ever be. Especially with the surging Cavaliers only half a game behind them.

Top Performers:
Player Of The Game:

Ben Gordon

Quote Of The Game:
"We played great through the 1st 3 quarters. The 4th quarter was flashbacks of how lackluster our defense used to be. We've improved our defense over the past couple of games and for the lack of defense to rear it's ugly head late in this one and this late in the season, it's disappointing." - Pacers Head Coach Jim O' Brien
