Season searies: The Indiana Pacers and Miami Heat split the season series 2-2 and it went exactly how you would expect. Both teams won their two home gamesand lost on the road. The Pacers won the ugly, grind-it-out games while Miami lost both games they failed to score 90 points. The Heat won both boatraces, as Indiana couldn't keep up offensively when the game opened up.

The Pacers rode their dominant early-season winning streak to a win in the first matchup in Indianapolis, 90-84. It was a statement by the Pacers that they were ready to compete with Miami for the title. LeBron James and Dwayne Wade were held to 17 each as Roy Hibbertwent off for 24.

Their second matchup just eight days later in Miami turned things around, as the champs struck back, edging Indiana 97-94 by erasing a 14-point Pacers lead with less than five minutes left. The Heat just hit a flurry of shots and plays late in the game and left the Pacers stunned.
