Heat vs Pacers Postgame

The Miami Heat played the Indiana Pacers for the 3rd time this season on March 26th which had an outcome of a final score of 83 – 84 with the Pacers winning. This game was one of the most intensive games this whole season with great players playing to the final seconds! It all ended on a half court play with Lebron James catching the ball and passing it to Chris Bosh for a missed game winning jumper as time expired. Questions could steadily wonder like why Lebron didn’t take the last shot or take the ball to the hoop for the win? As the game was over they walked to the locker room with their heads down in defeat but in my eyes this defying loss could help come playoff time.

Lebron James ended the game with 38 points, 8 rebounds and 5 assists in the hard fought loss. The final play they ran was very challenging even though it din’t end in the extravagant fashion they would’ve liked. ” They’re the champs, they’re going to bring out the best in us.” David West said. Known for his big man attributes he made a clutch three pointer which turned the game all way around during the final seconds of the fourth quarter. The Miami Heat continue to struggle as time winds down this season with only a month left in the season. There has been speculation that injury has been surrounding the team with their star Lebron dealing with a bad back and Wade dealing with sore knees and calf muscles.

So the word is, what can they do now? Their latest skid have been up and down and for past champs they’re not in the best of shape as they were the during the previous three seasons. The last 10 games they’re 5 – 5 and are 3 games behind 1st place with only 12 games left but they will see the Indiana Pacers again April 11th which will be very intriging.
