--------------TIP OFF JUST MINUTES AWAY----------------

The Miami Heat faceoff against the Chicago Bulls for Game 5 of their best-of-seven series Wednesday night at 7 p.m. ET. Can't watch the game? Join us for this live blog with commentary, play-by-play and stats from the action as the Heat look to make it to their third straight Eastern Conference Finals meeting.

The Bulls have been down. Many thought they wouldn't be capable of competing in the first round against the Brooklyn Nets as Joakim Noah was hobbling up and down the court. He played decently and then Luol Deng went down followed by Kirk Hinrich. Nate Robinson and Marco Belinelli stepped in their roles and played pretty well. However, they reached their low in Game 4 scoring only 65 points and letting the Heat do whatever they pleased on the court.

It seems that the series will reach its finale on Wednesday as the Heat will be at home and everybody but Dwyane Wade looks ready to go. Chris Bosh and Norris Cole have been excellent in the last couple of games in this series. LeBron James will probably do all he can do to ensure the Bulls' elimination from the 2013 playoffs.

The good news is that after their 65-point, 26 percent shooting performance, the Bulls can't possibly play worse in Game 5. All the Heat have to do is win once and they are in the next round where they will more than likely play the Indiana Pacers who are up 3-1 in their series against the Knicks.

Check out the live blog where we will bring you everything taking place from the court on American Airlines Arena. Refresh the page and scroll to the top of the article for the latest updates of Game 5.
