While the Indiana Pacers ultimately fell to the Miami Heat 112-108, their fight in the final 14 minutes of the game was an encouraging sight. Trailing 87-66 with five minutes in the third quarter, it appeared the Pacers were well on their way to a familiar blowout loss on the second night of a back-to-back, but Indiana closed the third on a 10-4 run, using that momentum to push Miami throughout the fourth.
The Pacers climbed to within two points in the closing seconds, but the Heat converted two rare free throws to put the game out of reach.
