What. A. Fun. Game. In front of a sell-out Bankers Life Fieldhouse crowd, the Indiana Pacers (despite needing an extra five minutes) were able to take down a hard fighting Miami Heat team. As a result of this victory, the Pacers have become (*takes deep breath*) THE FIFTH TEAM TO CLINCH AN EASTERN CONFERENCE PLAYOFF SPOT.
If you just watched the first quarter of this contest, you would’ve figured Indiana was going to be in for a long night. Heat guard Tyler Johnson came out swinging early, as he went 4 for 4 on 3-pointers in the first.
