NBA Playoffs: Heat at Hawks, Game 5

Check out photos from Wednesday night's Heat-Hawks playoff game from Philips Arena.

Game 5 between the Hawks and Heat tips off at Philips Arena. The best-of-seven series is tied 2-2.

It was a physical game from the outset, with players like the Hawks' Mike Bibby and the Heat's James Jones hitting the floor for a loose ball.

Surprise. Dwyane Wade isn't happy with a call. The Heat star explains to referee Tony Brothers his concerns about being called for a foul.

Zaza Pachulia continued his physical play, fouling Dwyane Wade on this drive.

Michael Beasley challenged Josh Smith in the first half.

Mario West, sporting a hip mohawk, celebrates stopping Dwyane Wade right before halftime.

Josh Smith jumped on Flip's back after a 3-pointer in the fourth quarter.

Josh Smith and Joe Johnson helped Horford off the floor.

They call him J-Smoove. But Josh Smith's between-the-legs missed dunk attempt against the Heat Wednesday was anything but smooth. Frankly, it was a little embarrassing. But so were these other sports moments. Some were dumber than others. You decide.

The Heat felt the pressure of a packed Philips Arena and were down 23 at half.

Al Horford stood up to Jermaine O'Neal.
