Sunday, June 1st, 2014 10:06:28 by Khalil KhanMiami got into their fourth consecutive NBA Finals after beating the Pacers with a devastating forcefulness (117-92). LeBron James, the big three, the team that has won the last two titles, perfectly read the situation they faced and took the opportunity with absolute efficiency. Playing the sixth game at home, knowing how dangerous it could be a seventh game in Indianapolis, settled the match ball with authority and settled the Eastern Conference final with 4-2.
The Pacers again lost the challenge, like a year ago, and they did also a deplorable action, as disastrous consequences that can result in the decision-making team led Frank Vogel. Just start the third quarter, and Indiana trailed by 28 points (62-34) and went on to earn a handicap of 37 points (86-49). They capitulated disappointingly and especially his best men, Paul George, Hibbert and Hill.

The frustration of the Pacers came back. During their series against Miami, stock Stephenson and Hibbert fouls simulating paths penalty earned them, and criticism of George referees earned him another $ 25,000 fine. Dissension in the team had already transpired before the start of the playoffs and were acids Hibbert ‘s reproaches to his companions.
The success of the big three since he joined in 2010 when LeBron left Cleveland and Bosh left Toronto to join Wade in Miami, it is spectacular. In the first season reached the final, although they were surprised Nowitzki Mavericks (4-2). In 2012 they succeeded in the ring after winning the final against Oklahoma (4-1).
