INDIANAPOLIS - Indiana took every shot Miami could muster Wednesday night.

Gonzalez Browns Jersey . Then the Pacers threw a couple of their own
punches — and put the two-time defending champs on the mat. Paul George scored
23 points, Roy Hibbert added 21 and Indiana rallied from a seven-point deficit
in the fourth quarter to beat the Heat 84-83, taking a three-game lead over
Miami in the chase of the Eastern Conferences top seed. "Theyre the champs,
theyre going to bring out the best in us," said David West, who made a 3-pointer
with 50.2 seconds to go. "They bring out the best in anybody. I thought we just
had enough fight." It was one of those rare grudge matches that actually lived
up to the billing. Before the game, the teams chided one another with dueling
comments. Afterward, nobody was ready to make up. And in between, the action got
downright nasty. LeBron James needed a cotton swab in his nose to keep playing
in the fourth quarter after getting whacked in the face. Dwyane Wade spent the
final minute of the game icing his right hamstring. Pacers centre Roy Hibbert
finished the game despite taking an elbow to the face that left him so groggy he
didnt even remember getting hit. James and George both wound up taking spills
into basket supports, and Lance Stephenson was ejected midway through the fourth
quarter after picking up his second technical foul for celebrating a basket. The
angry Stephenson waved his hand at the ref and after leaving the court, threw a
towel and kicked a door. Coach Frank Vogel was not amused, saying he had a stern
talk with his budding star guard before he went home. But it typified a rugged
night for Miami (48-22). "It is what it is, they ref the game, we play it,"
James said. The NBAs best home team ended a two-game losing streak, took a 2-1
lead in the season series and now has the inside track to home-court advantage
with just 10 games to play. And (52-20) Indiana still managed to do all of that
on a night James seemed to be at his best. The four-time MVP finished with 38
points, eight rebounds, five assists, was 9 of 15 from the field and 14 of 15
from the free throw line. The problem: James also had six turnovers, Wade had
six more turnovers and Miami managed only one basket over the final 3 minutes,
23 seconds. James and Bosh both missed late jumpers that would have given Miami
the lead, the last an airball by Bosh from just right of the top of the key as
time expired. "Unfortunately, that was what I diagramed," coach Erik Spoelstra
said. "It probably wasnt the best call. It might have been a little too
gunslinger on my part. I just wanted an open shot." They were so hard to come by
Wednesday night that James was even called for a flagrant foul when he drove to
the basket and sent the 7-foot-2, 290-pound Hibbert crashing to the ground. When
Hibbert got up, he stumbled. Eventually he had to leave the court to change his
blood-spattered jersey, but he refused to sit against the Heat. Hibbert
dominated the first half yet again, scoring 17 points. But when the Heat decided
to make things tough on Hibbert in the second half, George and his teammates
took advantage. George spurred the first fourth-quarter run with two monster
dunks — one over the hand of a trailing James — to get the Pacers back in the
game. Later, it was Evan Turner, the trade deadline acquisition, who delivered
two of Indianas biggest baskets of the night. The first came after James final
turnover, on a breakaway layup. The second came courtesy of Mario Chalmers
turnover out of bounds. When the middle of the court opened up, Turner bolted
through a clear path for an 81-80 lead with 90 seconds to go. "I know how to get
my space, Ive been doing that forever, you know what I mean?" Turner said,
likely adding another spark to a rivalry that needs none. "Some of my moves Ive
been doing since I was a little kid, so I can walk a pretty fine line when it
comes to that." After Hibbert made 1 of 2 free throws, Turner scored on the
layups, West hit the knockout 3 and all Miami got was a 3 from Bosh with 2.9
seconds left. "Theyre a tough team, psychologically against most teams they have
the edge," West said. "Theyve got the best player in the game. Their pedigree,
their entire organization, you understand what youre going to get." NOTES:
Indiana has won its first back-to-back division titles since 1998-99 and
1999-2000. ... The Heat are now 7-8 in March. ... The Pacers and Heat meet again
April 11 in Miami.
