Victor Oladipo was at his best for Indiana Pacers but sadly, his team got eliminated from the NBA playoffs after losing Game four to Miami Heat who did a clean sweep (4-0) on them to progress to the semifinals.
Pacers desperately needed a victory if they were to stay in the playoffs and nurse any hope of making it a 7-game series. And although Indiana took the 1st set (22-21) which inspired hope that they could spring up something, Miami Heat took control from the 2nd quarter, closing out the game with a 99-87 victory.
To sum up how good Oladipo was in the game, he led with a game-high 25pts, and was the 3rd highest overall in rebounds (8) and also had the 3rd highest assists in the game (6).
No other player made more Steals than Oladipo in the game (5), with the Shooting Guard attempting more outside shots (11) than any other player in the game, with a conversion rate of 45.5%.
Meanwhile for Heat, Bam Adebayo made a double-double, hitting 14pts and 19rebs (13 were defensive rebounds) for his team, a very good performance from the Center. Adebayo also led his team in assists, making 6ast, one block and one steal.
While it was despair for Oladipo, it was delight for Heats who will now be hoping they can make it to their first Playoffs final since 2013.
