The Indiana Pacers defeated the Miami Heat 90-84 in a rematch of the 2013 NBA Eastern Conference Finals. The Pacers improved to 19-3 and are 10-0 at home, their first time in franchise history. Pacers Center Roy Hibbert led all scorers with 24 points, while star players Paul George and David West each had 17 points for the Pacers. George and West combined for 13 out of the 21 Pacers turnovers.

 

Lebron James and Dwyane Wade led the Heat with 17 points, while combining to shoot a disappointing 12 out of 30 from the field. James had a game high 14 rebounds. James and Wade led the Heat with 6 assists. The Heat were outrebounded by the Pacers 43 to 33 and only made a disappointing 19% of their 3 point attempts. The Heat are now 16-6 and trail the Pacers with the second best record in the Eastern Conference. These teams will probably meet again in the 2014 Eastern Conference Finals and the winner will probably win the NBA Finals.
