The fourth quarter collapses don’t stop coming for the Indiana Pacers, adding another notch with an infuriating loss to the Miami Heat. The Pacers held a lead much of the night, but a scoring drought of six minutes and eight seconds in the fourth quarter was all the time the Heat needed to close out the win.
The Pacers not only led for nearly the entire game, but were firmly in control for large portions of it. Hot shooting helped them lead by five after one, a lead that was pushed into double figures thanks to the second unit locking down Miami’s struggling bench unit.
