Roy Hibbert, Paul George Carry Pacers To Victory Over The Heat, 91-77 [VIDEO HIGHLIGHTS]: Game 7 in Miami Monday Night
Roy Hibbert would not let the Indiana Pacers go out without a fight, forcing a Game 7 in the Eastern Conference Finals, after disposing of the Miami Heat 91-77.
Hibbert scored 24 points and 11 rebounds, with Paul George finishing with 28 points and 6 assists, to carry the team to victory in front of their home crowd.
"We got one more to win. We're taking it back to South Beach," said Hibbert in his post-game interview with TNT's Craig Sager. The Pacers' All-star center mentioned that he wanted the win as birthday present for his father. "I told him before this game I would make sure to get this win for him."
LeBron James scored 29 points for the defending NBA champions, but Dwyane Wade was limited to just 10 points (3-11 from the field) and Chris Bosh held to an abysmal five points.
"Our guys gathered themselves by the time they got into the locker room, even though all of us were very disappointed about this game and letting this opportunity slip through our hands," said Miami head coach Erik Spoelstra, in the post-game press conference. "You have to move on immediately."
Game 7 takes place on Monday, June 3 at the American Airlines Arena.
