Inaabangan na ngayon ng mga basketball fanatic ang Game 7 na magsisilbing deciding game sa National Basketball Association (NBA) Eastern Conference Finals.
Ito ay makaraang talunin ng Indiana Pacers sa home court nito ang Miami Heat sa score na 91–77 sa Game 6.
Pinangunahan ni Paul George ang Pacers sa kaniyang 28-points kasama si Roy Hibbert na gumawa ng 24 na puntos at 11 rebound.
“I think we just did a tremendous effort of recognizing last game our third quarter was really what let us down and we tried to take advantage of that and come out aggressive,” pahayag ni Roy Hibbert, center ng Indiana Pacers.
Ayon naman kay coach Frank Vogel, “we didn’t play our best basketball game tonight and we were able to get a win but we’re going to have to play our best basketball game down there to win a Game 7.”
Inaasahan namang mahihirapan ang Pacers na mapabagsak ang Heat sa Game 7 dahil sa Miami gaganapin ang deciding encounter.
“We work all season long for a game seven, home court, regardless of how you get to that point; play well, don’t play well, win a game, lose a game, and it all builds up to this,”
“It’s an incredible opportunity as a professional athlete to be part of a game seven and that’s why our guys are looking forward to this, even after a disappointing loss like tonight,” pahayag ni coach Erik Spoelstra ng Miami Heat.
Samantala ang mananalo sa pagitan ng Pacers at Heat ang haharap sa Western Conference champion San Antonio Spurs para sa NBA Finals.(Tito Paz & Ruth Navales, UNTV News)
