By Jon Washburn
You may have been unfortunate enough to miss Wednesday night’s slugfest in Indy, but no worries. Some of the Pacers’ best fans on twitter summed the night up for you beautifully.
Here’s a rough play by play of the Pacers’ big win. And if you’re into twitter and aren’t following each of these Indiana fans, get with the program! These are the fans that make every game that much better!
First Quarter Action:
Roy. Engaged. Me gusta.

During this timeout, official David Jones takes a swig from water bottle, and mocks the hecklers behind press row. #LikeAG

#Heat fans behind scorer's table yapping about a travel on Hibbert, and Jones says "blahblahblah! That's all I hear!"

Birdman tried to pull the chair. Roy put the chair in his face.

Second Quarter Action:
It's always funny how Mahinmi gets none of Roy's ref respect

@8pts9secs I have a theory that Lance is the captain of my "guys you wouldn't want to share a bouncy house with" team.

Seems like Indiana's offense should just be Hibbert post ups and end of shotclock 3-point heaves

Lance finds the range again, 3-3 from 3-land and lettin all across the land know it.

"Verticality" is a Latin word for, "Flagrant if Mahinmi does it"

Roy Hibbert is selectively allowing layups at the rim. Not willing to go into foul trouble. Interesting.

Third Quarter Action (fans got nervous, stopped tweeting a while)
Miami hates that Hibbert plays great vs them. Indiana hates that Hibbert only plays great vs them.

A Pacers/Heat game is like a Dothraki wedding: Unless there are at least three deaths it's considered a dull affair.

Fourth Quarter Action:
PAUL GEORGE IS A MAN. HE'S 40.
— 8 Points, 9 Seconds (@8pts9secs) March 27, 2014
@8pts9secs HE DRIVES A DODGE STRATUS
— Roberto (@robdob22) March 27, 2014
Can we say he just gave LBJ a selfie? RT @BlkSportsOnline Paul George letting out some frustration

That's Hibbert's fault for being so tall. On an average person, LeBron's elbow goes right over their head. Foul on Hibbert imo.

Wade makes a three which never happens but he stepped out first. Actually he' didn't. Poor, Dwyane.

Put the kids to bed. People are saying "what."
— The Pickle (@sportspickle) March 27, 2014
Classic Wade. Worse yet, you know he's proud of it.

HIBBERT GOT A REBOUND! RT @JailedFlynt Hibbert catches rebound over head 2 feet from basket, gets blocked by person 6 inches shorter

Hammy don't lie, DWade.
— Tom Lewis (@IndyCornrows) March 27, 2014
Roy Hibbert with the rare fall on purpose. He's breaking out all his tricks tonight.

Here comes a hero shot…
— Nilla Nillanovic (@JayNilla) March 27, 2014
HERO!!!!!!!!!!
— Nilla Nillanovic (@JayNilla) March 27, 2014
Say, @8pts9secs Where might Mr. West be?
— Tim Donahue (@TimDonahueZ) March 27, 2014
MR. WEST IS IN THE BUILDING.

Chances of an 83% shooter missing two consecutive free throws is 2.8%.

The Finale
And the Eastern Conference Finals are tied at 0-0.

These two teams, man. Just creating new types of theater every game. LeBron vs Hibbert at the rim is the most exciting moment in the NBA.
