Game 4 is now over and the Miami Heat didn't only win, but they murdered the visiting Pacers. The final score of 102-90 does not show how badly the Pacers were beaten, as a good chunk of their tally was from baskets from their bench at the end of the game. The Pacers were outplayed in every way, shape, and form in this game. It, of course, didn't help the Pacers' cause that every close call was going the home team's way. This is not to say that the refs were the reason for the outcome, but although the Pacers were outplayed, this game could have been a closer one if it was called down the middle. The Miami Heat shot twice as many costless throws as the Pacers, with Miami shooting 34 and the Pacers shooting 17.

Another thing that hurt the Pacers is poor coaching. Yes, poor coaching. Frank Vogel hindered his team with poor setups. He played the wrong players at the wrong times, overplayed his starters, and coached without authority. The world has been begging for some of the Pacers' great bench players, like Chris Copeland, to have more minutes, and he sticks to his plan even when it is clearly not working. Many would not be surprised if Vogel is shown the door after the season is over.

Stars for Each Team-

Heat: 

The big star in this game (huge shocker) is King James, who led all scoring with 32 points and had 10 rebounds to give him a double-double. LeBron was able to get his shooting attemps off with no challenge in this game, and they were going sinking in. Another star is a player who did not play well in games 1-3: Chris Bosh, who had a series-high 25 points. Bosh, who hadn't been playing well in this series, needed a big game, and goodness gracious did he ever. He was their catalyst. One last star for Miami was the officiating crew tonight, who put the Heat on the line 34 times. Some may argue that many of those were wrongly so.

Pacers:

In a bad game where the Pacers, as a team, didn't synchronize well, there were some players who played well individually. The main one was David West, who had a double-double with 20 points and 12 rebounds. Another star was, of course, Paul George who led the Pacers with 23 points. George was one of the few players on the Pacers' squad that could get anything going in this game that the Heat just took over.
