The Indiana Pacers went toe-to-toe with Miami in Game 1, but the Heat realized something in the fourth quarter. Miami realized that the Pacers had no one that could put the brakes on either Dwayne Wade or LeBron James. They scored pretty much every time they had the ball in the fourth quarter, and a combined 53 in the second half. The Heat were +12 when James was on the floor and +12 when Wade was on the floor, and are looking for a repeat of the second half for four quarters in this one. Miami won by 9 despite shooting 40% and missing every 3-point attempt they took. The Pacers, still green and growing, are a fragile team that is now 6-13 ATS after a loss. The Heat have poured it on in conference semi-finals games at 15-5-1 ATS in their last 21. The Pacers are now 9-3 to the OVER in their last 12 as a dog, while the Heat’s offense has been big in this round where they are now 8-2 to the OVER in their last 10 conference semi-finals games. Play this one on Miami and take the OVER.
