‘The Truth’ hurts in Miami!

April 24th, 2010 by Ty

So Miami is playing at home and looking for some way to get back in this series. The whole game is playing out like it can actually be won because they have done their part; kept the game close enough that they have a chance to win, control the tempo behind Wade’s play and some good defense and then it all seems to mean nothing when Wade crumples to the ground clutching his leg after a missed 3 pointer with just about 11secs left in the game.  I can only imagine the collective gasp as realization set in, could Wade really be gone and what can this team do without him?

Well, Miami got a taste of this scenario on the final possession as Paul ‘The Truth’ Pierce was left to receive the inbound pass, get comfortable on the dribble and with 3sec left on the clock drain a long jumper to win the game. Miami can only imagine what could have been if only Wade didn’t have to leave the games with leg cramps.

Miami lost this game even though Wade finally got some help from Beasley and Dorell Wright with 16 and 15pts respectively. Wade finished with a game high 34pts and 8asts. The Celtics were led by Pierce with 32pts and Ray Allen with 25pts. Also KG was returned from his one game suspension to add more veteran depth to this team. The stage is set for a sweep as Celtics are now up in the series 3-0.

Celtics 100 – 98 Heat.
