Adjustment­s will be made by both sides before tonight, of course. But at this point, it’s more than likely that the sides are out of ways to tactically surprise one another.

A play here, a play there, that might be the difference, and that sort of thinking is shared by both sides.

“It’s about effort,” Pacers center Roy Hibbert said. “It’s about who wants it more, who wants to get that offensive rebound, who wants to get that blocked shot, who wants to get the loose ball. We just have to come out with more determinat­ion. It’s not anything the coaches can tell us, it’s about what’s in here. It’s lose or go home right now.”

Miami forward Chris Andersen has been suspended for Game 6 for his altercatio­n with Indiana’s Tyler Hansbrough in Game 5. The NBA also upgraded Andersen’s foul to a Flagrant 2, which would have meant an automatic ejection had it been called at the time.
