The Heat (19 - 24) held on to beat the Pacers (15 - 30) 89 - 87 in Miami on Friday night. Miami opened the second half with a 17 - point lead but allowed Indiana to slowly crawl back into the game. The lead was down to 11 at the start of the fourth, and a Rodney Stuckey jumper - plus - the - foul with 3:32 remaining trimmed it to just six. David West hit a jumper on the ensuing possession to cut the lead to four, but Chris Bosh responded with a mid - range shot of his own on the other end. With seven seconds to play, George Hill put in a layup to bring Indiana within one, and the Pacers sent Dwyane Wade to the line with six seconds left. Wade split the pair, giving the Pacers an opportunity to win or tie, but a C.J. Watson could not connect on a jumper as time expired. Luol Deng led the way for Miami with 23 points and five rebounds in 35 minutes. Wade, who was battling through an illness, finished with 13 points and four assists, while Bosh had 19 points on 8 - of - 16 shooting. Mario Chalmers chipped in nine points, and Danny Granger and Shawne Williams each had six off the bench. The Heat shot 48 percent as a team but made only 4 - of - 17 three - point attempts. Indiana didn’t fair any better, hitting just three of its 15 attempts from beyond the arc. West (12 points) and Watson (13) were the only starters in double - figures. Luis Scola was the high man with 14 points in 15 minutes off the bench, while Hill finished with 13 points on 5 - of - 10 shooting. Next up, the Heat travel to Chicago to take on the Bulls on Sunday afternoon. Indiana plays in Orlando on Sunday night.
