Losing in Miami is nothing new to the Pacers and just adds to the team's current struggles to secure W's away from the Fieldhouse.
The Pacers appeared to be off to a great start on their four-game road trip midway through the third quarter when Paul George and Monta Ellis fueled a surge that put the Blue and Gold up 18. Then a familiar plot line unfolded at American Airlines Arena where trying to close out wins have turned the place into a house of horrors for the Pacers.
The Pacers lead the all-time regular season series against the Heat 60-42, but the home court advantage between the two teams is strong.
