Teams that win Game 5 of a tied series statically go on to win the series. The Pacers played very well in the first half, but were outscored in the third quarter 30-13.
LeBron James gave an emotional talk with his team before starting the second half and followed up with 16 points in the 3rd, outscoring the Pacers by himself. Udonis Haslem would later say that the halftime turnaround started in the locker room with a fiery speech from veteran Juwan Howard.
