The offseason begins for the Indiana Pacers following another frustrating loss to the Miami Heat. The Heat wore down the Pacers, forcing the starters into heavy minutes, completing the sweep in large part to a late possession in which the Heat got three offensive rebounds on a single play ahead by six (and then eight).
The Pacers fell behind for good in the second quarter, spending the entire second half trying to stay within single digits. They had multiple possessions in the fourth quarter down five, but every single time, the Heat were there with a killer response.
