  Here I review the transverse momentum distributions of identified hadrons
produced in Au-Au collisions at RHIC and Pb-Pb collisions at LHC in the
framework of recombination model. Minijets play an important role in generating
shower partons in the intermediate $p_T$ region. At LHC, the resultant soft
shower partons are even found to dominate over the thermal partons in the
non-strange sector. The azimuthal anisotropy of the produced hadrons could also
be explained as the consequence of the effects of minijets. Harmonic analysis
of the $\phi$ dependence leads to $v_n(p_T, b)$ that can be well produced
without reference to flow.
