2/8/11 PACERS @ HEAT 7:30pm
The Miami Heat suffered their worst home loss of the season against Indiana in November. Looking for a measure of revenge against the Pacers, the Heat will go for their seventh straight victory Tuesday night at home when they face an Indiana team trying to improve to 5-0 under interim coach Frank Vogel. Miami (37-14) continues to get healthier and has won six straight after losing five of its previous six. The Heat are coming off a 97-79 win over the Los Angeles Clippers on Sunday after winning by 12 at Charlotte two nights earlier. "First of all, we're healthy," Dwyane Wade said when asked the reason for the winning streak. "Not healthy as in all 100 percent, but healthy as in we have all of our bodies ... and we're able to play with different lineups and the things we envisioned." Wade, who has been dealing with wrist and back problems lately, had 28 points, eight rebounds and eight a*sists Sunday while Chris Bosh added 16 points and seven rebounds. LeBron James was held to a season-low 12 points, but it didn't seem to matter as Miami limited the Clippers to 32.5 percent shooting. After scoring a season-high 51 points in a win over Orlando on Thursday, James has been held to 31 in the last two games. He scored eight of his points Sunday in the first half. |
