The Indiana Pacers were ran off their home court Wednesday. The 122-108 final score is deceiving. It was no where near that close.
The Pacers final lead came at the 9:37 mark of the first quarter and from there the Miami Heat just ran away with it. The Heat’s lead climbed as high as 31 early in the fourth and if it wasn’t for Coach Nate McMillan keeping the starters in until the final five minutes, it would have stayed that far apart.
This is not the kind of game the Pacers can choose to phone-in. Miami is going to either be a team the Pacers compete with for seeding in the second half with or a potential first round playoff match-up.
