Pacer-doxical: Indiana vs. Miami Preview
In the last month, the Pacers’ on-again-off-again bro-mance with the Eastern Conference’s No. 1 seed might have lacked passion, but certainly not drama. Now a game removed from resting (benching?) the starters in a last-second win over the lottery-bound Bucks, the Pacers revisit the Heat tonight. While this season the Pacers own a 2-1 mark over the Heat and hold a half-game conference lead, both teams come into Miami’s AmericanAirlines Arena with a 2-3 mark over their last five outings. At stake tonight: possible home-court advantage in the upcoming NBA Playoffs. Who wants it? Who knows?
What do the Pacers need do to beat the Heat and punch their top-seed playoff ticket?
