Heat in control: James and Wade combine for 58, Miami tops Indiana 115-83 in Game 5
• MIAMI (AP) -- Dwyane Wade was bleeding after taking a smack in the head from Tyler Hansbrough, who became the target of a retaliatory shot from Udonis Haslem a few moments later. • When that was over, the Miami Heat kept hitting the Indiana Pacers where it mattered most -- the scoreboard. • LeBron James scored 30 points, Wade added 28, and the Heat moved one win away from another trip to the Eastern Conference finals with a 115-83 victory over the hurting Pacers on Tuesday night, when three flagrant fouls added more intrigue to an already-physical series and Indiana watched starting forwards Danny Granger and David West leave with injuries. • "We're in the flow," James said. "We're in a good flow right now. Guys know what it takes out on the floor to help us win and guys are always in position, both offensively and defensively." • The Heat outscored Indiana 74-45 after Granger sprained his left ankle, and 86-58 after Wade took the shot from Hansbrough early in the second quarter. Miami leads the best-of-seven East semifinals 3-2, with Game 6 in Indianapolis on Thursday night. •
