Heat defeat Pacers in Game 3, but they couldn't do that in Game 4

     The Indiana Pacers were lost on this game, and they couldn't control Lebron and his teammates (Marot,2013,p.nd). Lebron had help in this game, and the Heat hot that win because of that. The move allowed Miami to outscored 56-32 in the paint. The Indiana record fell (6-0), now it's 6-1 at home in the playoffs, and the Heat now have a record of 5-0 on the road (Marot,2013,p.nd). Miami broke the franchise playoff record for points in a half (70 points) and fell one point short of tying the third-highest point total in a playoff game in franchise history (ESPN,2013,p.nd). According to ESPN (2013), Chris Andersen has made 16 consecutive shots in the playoffs (p.nd). For the Pacers, David West led Indiana with 21 points and 17 rebounds, while Roy Hibbert had 20 points and 17 rebounds, Paul George finished with 13 points and 8 assists, not nearly enough to keep the Pacers perfect at home in the postseason (Marot,2013,p.nd).

     The Indiana Pacers put things in order in Game 4, and they even up the series. The Pacers players promised to treat Game 4 as if  they were playing a decisive Game 7 and it showed (ESPN,2013,p.nd). According to ESPN (2013), the Pacers relentlessly attacked the basket, continually won  the battle for loose balls, dominated the glass and turned the tables on Miami yet again (p.nd). According to ESPN (2013), just like that the Eastern Conference Finals are tied at 2 and the pressure has swung back to Miami (p.nd). Roy Hibbert finished with 23 points and 12 rebounds, Lance Stephenson added 20 points, and the Pacers closed the game on a 16-6 run to pull away from the defending Champs for a 99-92 victory (Marot,2013,p.nd). According to Marot (2013), Bosh finished with 7 points, Wade with 16 and no Miami starter had more than 6 rebounds (p.nd). Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said "That's what the series is about, who can get to who and do it for longer periods of time, they kept us out of the paint, we'll just have to do it better".
