Yes they are!
95 - 78 Final Score
O'Neal finished with 28 Points, 16 Boards and 5 Blocks.
Hamilton was the only player to score more than 10 for Detroit. He finished with 33.

I was just looking through some of the photos from that game - does anyone know why almost everyone in the crowd is wearing white?

Miami have been doing it all through the play-offs, I'm guessing it's so they are the 'WHITE HOT HEAT' or something along those lines...
the heat have requested fans wear white shirts or tops to their home games, to match the Miami Heat's white home uniform!
It looks fantastic... a great idea as it is extremely effective

Title changed for those wanting to watch the replay tonight on ESPN.
The Heat organization actually gives away a certain amount of the official Heat playoff tops per game.
Great marketing, and a heck of a budget I assume to afford such a 'gimmick'

Detroit better not "blow up" the team like the Heat did before this season. I think all they need is a scoring centre off the bench (maybe sign Melvin Ely) and to stick to their own gameplan for the full 48 minutes each game, and they'll be better.

Suggested a while ago that Detroit are falling off their pedestal. Well they fell and in a big way. San Antonio fell as well and I said the same thing ... they aren't the team they were.
Now whomever wins out of the Mavs and the Suns I believe will take out the title. The Suns match up well with the Heat and the Mavs I think would have too much depth for the Heat. This result is fantastic for basketball in America.

If the Suns get through i'd say its in the bag for Miami, the suns dont have a big man that can stop the oneal/alonzo combo. If youve even actually seen shaq, hes FLippen HUGE.
