Should the Heat go up 3-1, it would become the<br \/>\n125<sup>th<\/sup> team to do so in an NBA playoff series. Of the previous 124,<br \/>\n116 have advanced. Should the Heat lose, it would surrender the homecourt<br \/>\nadvantage it gained in the opener in Detroit, and fall into a 2-2 tie in a<br \/>\nseries that then would feature two of the remaining three games at the Palace<br \/>\nof Auburn Hills, with only Friday\u2019s Game 6 remaining at <span class=SpellE>AmericanAirlines<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=SpellE>Arena.Against<\/span> that
