Pacers force Game 7 with Wade and Bosh as No-shows

The Indiana Pacers held the Miami Heat to 36.1 percent shooting as they booked a trip back to Miami for Game 7 on Monday night. Miami’s Big Three – LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh – went just 14 of 40. Excluding James, Miami managed only 16 baskets – eight 3s and eight 2s. Chris Bosh took ownership as soon as he stepped out of the shower. “I didn’t show up for my teammates tonight,” he said, “and it will not happen again.” Dwyane Wade wasn’t quite as forthcoming when it came to blame. “We’ve got to do a better job, all of us, helping get each other involved in the game,” he said moments before Bosh spoke in a funereal Miami Heat locker room. “We’ve got to do a better job of making sure me and Chris can have opportunities to succeed.” 15 combined points by Wade and Bosh are the fewest for the two of them in a game together since becoming teammates. James led the Heat with 29 points on 10-of-21 shooting. Nobody else scored more than 10.
