The Pacers travelled to South Beach for a game against the Miami Heat before they will return home to Gainbridge Fieldhouse for a matchup against the Phoenix Suns. If you watched the first half, you probably have a different synopsis of the Pacers’ play from those who watched the second half. Different players on both sides of the ball had spurts that was so much fun to watch.

The only thing I could think about heading into the game was that low-scoring game in December when the Pacers fell 87-82. The final score was much higher this evening, but the Pacers ironically still lost tonight by 5, 116-111. Let’s look at a few pieces of the game a bit closer to see how the final score came to be. We will cover the good, the bad, and the Boom Baby Player of the game.
