The Miami Heat heading to their third straight NBA finals appearance in the big three era

The Miami Heat are off to their third NBA finals appearance in the big three era, as they defeated the Indiana Pacers 99-76 in game seven of the Eastern Conference Finals. Miami was facing questions  before game seven regarding their roster,would Chris Bosh be on the trading block? Is Dwayne Wade going to retire? Imagine if the Heat would have lost? Can you imagine the amount of questions the Heat franchise would be facing, but that wasn't the case because the Heat destroyed the Indiana Pacers 99-76 in game seven of the Eastern Conference Finals.The Miami Heat defense was impressive. Paul George only had seven points on 2-6 shooting and in the fourth quarter fouled out of the game. Roy Hibbert had a decent game 18 points on 7-11 shooting, but it wasn't the Roy Hibbert that we saw in the earlier games of the series. David West 6-15 shooting only 14 points wasn't enough for Indiana to overcome shooting 40% from the field. On the other hand, Miami's offense was very impressive, Dwayne Wade who had been struggling throughout this series shot 7-16 from the field with 21 points. Lebron James  8-17 shooting 32 points and what about the Miami Heat bench? It was good, Ray Allen made three three pointers and had 10 points, Norris Cole 3-4 shooting with 8 points, Chris "Birdman" Andersen 5-6 in the free throw line added 7 points. The only Miami Heat player that struggled was Chris Bosh shooting 3-13 from the field with 9 points, as a team, the Heat shot 39% from the field. The Miami Heat out rebounded the Pacers 43-36. Heat had less turnovers 21-12, and Heat shot 86% from the free throw line whereas Pacers shot 70% from the line. The Miami Heat will play game one of the NBA finals against the San Antonio Spurs tomorrow night at 9:00 pm in the American Airlines Arena in downtown Miami.
