LeBron James scored 29 points while Wade netted 19 as the Heat wrapped up the best-of-seven Eastern Conference series 4-1 to set up a second-round matchup with Indiana.
Carmelo Anthony, who scored 41 points in Game Four, scored 35 to lead the seventh-seeded Knicks.
In the Western Conference, the Grizzlies flirted with another second-half collapse but regained control to beat the Clippers 92-80 and narrow the series deficit to 3-2.
The Grizzlies saw a 24-point third-quarter lead trimmed to six midway through the fourth, bringing back memories of their series-opening defeat when they blew a lead of 27.
The frustrated Clippers team accrued five technical fouls and Chris Paul sat out for the final minute with an aggravated groin issue.
Paul finished with 19 points and Mo Williams led the visitors with 20 off the bench.
Game Six is on Friday in Los Angeles. (Reuters)
> <� as����.�l>Savings for what?
Where would those savings go?
Savings on public services? My a_ _!
Public service is an inherent right of the people.
That is why we pay direct and indirect taxes and these taxes should and must be returned back to us the people in the form of better roads, better education, better health benefits and so on.
It’s called social contract.
And that is emblazoned in our Constitution.
Nowhere in our Constitution’s articles allow public officials to hold on the flow of public money, hold on the national budget on infrastructures and other public services.
They may not know it but methinks these public officials could be committing a crime they are not aware of.
They are not aware that because of their good intent at saving public funds, millions of Filipinos are dying of starvation.
Public officials hold public offices built around public trust that must be translated into honest to goodness dispensation of their functions as well as honest dispensation of public money.
And that would be the real meaning of “Daang Matuwid” not of saving, holding on to public funds.
Holding on public money or saving it, is public service denied to us.
And that is not “Daang Matuwid” in any which way you look at it.
Okay there is that “Daang Matuwid” program/battle-cry of the Aquino Administration but who cares if many of us cannot even send our kids to schools this coming school year.
Nothing wrong with saving public funds alright but what’s wrong is holding on to it as if they own it and starving the whole country to death.
For instance, the price of fossil fuel, a commodity which efficiently dictates the unit prices of all other commodities.
The government can actually keep it low if it wants to by simply letting other suppliers in.
Or better yet, put up a shadow business organization tasked at importing nothing but fossil fuel from as far as Russia and other sources who can offer low, lower barrel prices.
They simply have to spend some on it.
Simple idea but a lot of help.
Okay did I hear someone say: “Okay, pag-aaralan po namin yan.”
Hehehe.
