MIAMI (AP) — Dwyane Wade was bleeding after taking a smack in the head from Tyler Hansbrough, who became the target of a retaliatory shot from Udonis Haslem a few moments later.
When that was over, the Miami Heat kept hitting the Indiana Pacers where it mattered most — the scoreboard.
LeBron James scored 30 points, Wade added 28, and the Heat moved one win away from another trip to the Eastern Conference finals with a 115-83 victory over the hurting Pacers on Tuesday night, when three flagrant fouls added more intrigue to an already-physical series and Indiana watched starting forwards Danny Granger and David West leave with injuries.
“We’re in the flow,” James said. “We’re in a good flow right now. Guys know what it takes out on the floor to help us win and guys are always in position, both offensively and defensively.”
