Pacers bounce back to defeat Heat, 99- 92

Nice bounce back by the Indiana Pacers last night to defeat the Miami Heat in game four, 99 – 92 and even the Eastern Conference finals at 2-2.  The Pacers were manhandled by the Heat in game three on their home floor and had to take offense to such a punishing defeat in Indy.  Clearly, they had their game on last night, taking it to Miami in the first period scoring the first eleven points of the game.  They lead by one at the half, 48 – 47 but trailed Miami 60 -56 midway through the 3rd period.  From then on, it was close but no way was Roy Hibbert going to let the Pacers go down.  Lance Stephenson scored 20 points and Hibbert (the Georgetown boy) scored 23 points and grabbed 12 rebounds.  LeBron fouled out with 56 seconds left in the game and it marked his first exit from a game due to fouls since last June in the playoffs.  After the game, Roy Hibbert reiterated that the Pacers were in this series, they were not going anywhere, but of course they are indeed going somewhere…back to Miami for game five, Thursday evening!
