In a second game of a back to back, the Miami Heat visited the Indiana Pacers on Monday night. Miami looked to pick things up after suffering a tough loss the Oklahoma City Thunder.

It was a tightly contested game to start, with both teams aggressive on the defensive end. Lebron James carried the Heat early with 16 first half points but the Pacers would go into the break with a 49-46 first half lead.

The Indiana Pacers closed the half out in stunning fashion, with a Roy Hibbert dunk and a half court buzzer beater from Paul George.

The Heat struggled in the 3rd quarter, failing to score for the first 3 minutes and were down by as many as 10. The Heat would cut the deficit to 1 off a Dwyane Wade 3-pointer but that was as close as they would get.

The Pacers held Miami to 6-19 shooting in the 3rd quarter and went into the 4th up 13. Miami continued to struggle in the final period and just couldn't close the gap.

Lebron James finished with 24 points, 9 rebounds, but shot just 9-21 and committed 6 tunorves.

Dwyane Wade also posted 24 points with 5 rebounds, 6 assists and 4 blocks.

Chris Bosh played another mediocre game with 14 points on just 4-11 shooting and a dismal 6-11 from the free throw line.
