With three quarters to go until a potential NBA Championship, the Miami Heat lead the Oklahoma City Thunder 31-26. Miami came out firing in the first quarter of Game 5, hitting four of eight from behind the arc. Mike Miller came off the bench and quickly drilled two three-pointers. The Heat hit nine straight shots as the Thunder scrambled to get stops on the defensive end.
