Heat Spanish Radio Voice Jose Paneda was very happy with Miami's performance in Game 5 noting, "When you can play "Pepas" with 8:18 left in the game, that is a record."
One of Paneda's keys is Bam Adebayo's defense saying, "The job he has done defensively on Embiid does not show up on the stat sheet."
He also makes note of the teams depth stating, "No Lowry, no problem. Everybody who participated for The Heat had at least 2 points."
Joel Embiid does have an orbital fracture that pained him even more last night when Dwayne Dedmon shooshed the ball into his face but was it on purpose, Paneda does not thinks so saying, "It was a perfect basketball play and clean."
TNT's Charles Barkley claimed Embiid had a rough Game 5 because he was upset he did not win The MVP, rather it went to Denver's Nikola Jokic, Paneda does not like that saying, "I think Barkley was off line and he discredited what Jokic did."
Finally, Paneda sings the praises of The Heat's defense saying, "Offensive lows for Embiid, Harden and Maxey say a lot."
Miami looks to close out the series Thursday at 7 p.m. in Philadelphia.
