(INDIANAPOLIS) - Pacers All Stat Paul George had 21 points in the fourth quarter to help the Indiana Pacers hold off the Miami Heat 93-90 and force a game six in the Eastern Conference Finals.

George ended the night with 37 points, six steals and six rebounds. His 21 fourth quarter points were the most scored against Miami in any playoff quarter. The previous record, 20, was set in May 1997 by Michael Jordan.

For the Hear it was a rough night as four time MVP LeBron James saw limited action due to foul trouble. He finished with a career playoff-low seven points, two rebounds and four assists. Chris Bosh scored 20 points, Dwyane Wade and Rashard Lewis each had 18 points for Miami.

Game 6 is set for Friday night in Miami.
