Miami can close out the series on Wednesday with a win. The Heat took a commanding 3-1 lead of the series in Game 3's 102-96 win, thanks in part to LeBron James's 49 points.
"Win," James told the Associated Press when asked what Miami's mentality would be heading into Game 5. "It's the mentality we go into every postseason game. Play with a sense of urgency defensively, help one another, communicate, try to get the ball moving offensively, get it moving from one side to another and attack.
"If we do those things, if we do it with a clear mind but at the same time an aggressive mind, we give ourselves a good chance to win."
Closeout games are said to be the most difficult, but Heat guard Ray Allen believes the team's veteran experience will keep them on track Wednesday night.
"The wise one knows that you don't go into it thinking, 'This is it,'" he said. "You have to still build on all your habits. You have to go out there and you have to get better. If this is a closeout game, then we don't want to just settle for how we played. We want to get better and think about where we can potentially go."
Five of Brooklyn's starters scored in the double digits on Monday, including guard Joe Johnson, who led the team with 18 points.
"It's Game 5. We understand what's at stake," Nets coach Jason Kidd said. "It's Game 7 for us from here on out. If we lose, it's over. If we win, we fight another day. We can only focus on Game 5 and one quarter at a time."
