    Miami took a big step forward. Indiana lost two forwards.
    Suddenly, the road back to the Eastern Conference finals no longer looks daunting for the Heat.
    LeBron James scored 30 points, Dwyane Wade added 28, and the Heat moved a win away from the NBA’s final four with a 115-83 victory over the hurting Pacers on Tuesday night.

  • 0523 Heat.jpg James breathes life back into Miami

    On the plane ride home from Indiana, Miami guard Dwyane Wade was watching a LeBron James highlight tape. It was otherwise known as Game 4 of the Eastern Conference semifinals.
    The Heat were still marveling Monday at James’ effort the previous day in Indiana, when the NBA’s reigning MVP had 40 points, 18 rebounds and nine assists — “video game-like,” was how Wade described it — to help his team knot its East series with the Pacers at two games apiece. Game 5 is tonight in Miami, and the Heat know they probably can’t expect James to fill the box score that way again anytime soon.

    Refreshed in body and spirit, the Miami Heat returned to practice reunited and refocused.
    There was no looking back. No heartfelt apologies given. No need for a detailed autopsy of Dwyane Wade’s ugly sideline exchange with coach Eric Spoelstra in Game 3.
