After getting drubbed in Game 5 in Miami, the Indiana Pacers have been pushed to the brink of elimination and will have to win Game 6 at home in order to return to Miami for a Game 7.
Larry Bird called his team 'soft' after the Pacers' Game 5 loss, hoping to inspire a home win on Thursday night. The Pacers may have to do it without Danny Granger, though, as he will probably be a game time decision with an ankle injury. Granger left Game 5 in the third quarter and did not return.
David West also left the game with a sprained knee, but he is saying there is no question that he will play.
As for the Heat, they will be without big men Udonis Haslem and Dexter Pittman. Haslem was suspended for his Flagrant One on Tyler Hansbrough, which was upgraded to a Two. Pittman will be out for the rest of the series and up to two games in the next series for his clothesline of Lance Stephenson.
Further Game 6 details are below:
Time: 8 p.m. ET.
TV: ESPN
