The Miami Heat topped the Indiana Pacers 125-120 on Friday night, thanks to a late 3-pointer from Davion Mitchell and a dominant performance from Tyler Herro, who scored 29 points.<\/p>\n
Mitchell’s 3-pointer with 43.8 seconds left broke a tie and gave the Heat a 119-116 lead. Herro added three points from the line to seal the win.<\/p>\n
The Heat shot 57% from the field, including 18 of 32 in the second half. Duncan Robinson scored 20 points, and Bam Adebayo added 18 for Miami.<\/p>\n
The Pacers, who made 12 of their first 15 3-pointers, went 9 for 24 from deep the rest of the way. Pascal Siakam scored 36 points, while Myles Turner added 22 and Tyrese Haliburton had 19 points and 10 assists.<\/p>\n
The Heat went on a 13-0 run spanning nearly four minutes, the final 1:03 of the third quarter and the first 2:54 of the fourth, to turn a one-point deficit into a 104-92 lead.<\/p>\n
Indiana led 69-68 at the half. In 37 years of Heat basketball, including playoffs, this was only the fifth game where both teams had at least 68 points by intermission.<\/p>\n
The Pacers will face the Chicago Bulls on Sunday, while the Heat will host the New York Knicks on Sunday.<\/p>\n
The Heat’s win was a testament to their ability to dig deep and come out on top in a close game. Herro’s 29 points led the way, and Mitchell’s clutch 3-pointer sealed the deal. The Heat’s 57% shooting performance was impressive, and they will look to build on this momentum in their next game.<\/p>\n
