INDIANAPOLIS -- Roy Hibbert threw all the inside body jabs Tuesday night. C.
J. Prosise Seahawks Jersey
. Paul George finished it off with the knockout
blow. Together, the Pacers devastating one-two scoring punch did it again to the
champs. Hibbert finished with 24 points, George made two big 3-pointers during a
15-point second half scoring spree and Indiana rallied from a seven-point
halftime deficit to take Round 1 against Miami 90-84. "It was fun, a real
intense game," George said. "Both teams were playing at a high level. You could
see an urgency to win this game tonight." While Indiana extended its
franchise-record home start to a perfect 10-0 and took a three-game advantage
over Miami in the early chase for home-court advantage, this was no ordinary
regular season game. During pregame media availability, Indianas Lance
Stephenson said this game felt like a championship matchup. Two of Miamis big
three, Chris Bosh and Dwyane Wade, tried to downplay that sort of talk by
explaining this was not a win or go home night. The hometown fans didnt care
what the Heat thought. They were already in post-season form, booing loudly at
the officials, chanting "Hes a flopper" on some contestable foul calls and
eventually serenading Miami players with those familiar chants of "Beat the
Heat." But the Pacers (19-3) also understood this was only be the start of a
season-long quest that could pit the two best teams in the East in the
conference finals for a second straight year. First, theres the rematch in Miami
on Dec. 18. They wont meet again until March 26 in Indy, then head back to Miami
on April 11 before what most expect to be a third straight meeting in the
playoffs. If those games have as much intrigue and pizazz as Tuesday nights
showdown, they may be the most compelling all season. And the Pacers cant wait
to show how much they can improve -- even on a win over the two-time champs and
four-time MVP LeBron James. "Its just one game," Hibbert said. "Were going to
learn from it. Its a learning experience. Its still early in the season. We have
a lot more work to do." To the average fan, it looked a lot like last seasons
playoff series, which Miami won in seven games. Hibbert dominated the middle,
scoring nine of Indianas first 11 points and making a season-high 10 baskets --
most from point-blank range -- despite playing in the second half with cotton in
his nose. David West added 17 points, nine rebounds and four assists including a
left-handed 4-foot runner that gave Indiana an 88-81 lead with 38.9 seconds to
go. James defence and Miamis physical double-teams frustrated George most of the
night, but when George finally got free late, he made three big 3-pointers s to
help the Pacers pull away. George, the NBAs No. 4 scorer, finished with 17
points, three rebounds and four assists. "I knew it was going to be a night when
I was going to explode offensively," George said. "I knew I had to move the ball
and share it." Chasing George all night apparently took a toll on James and the
Heat (16-6). While James, the leagues No. 2 scorer did get 17 points, 14
rebounds and six assists, he was just 3 of 11 from the field with nine points
over the final 36 minutes -- three quarters when Miami failed to top the
20-point mark and had five turnovers. Wade also finished with 17 points, while
Bosh added 12. It was Miamis third loss in five games. "I thought we brought it
tonight," James said. "We know theyre a very good defensive team. I thought they
hit some tough shots and they attacked the rim real well but even though they
had us down by 10 rebounds, I thought we rebounded well and we battled." Aside
from the slow start, the Pacers couldnt have produced a better script. After
Miami took a 13-pont lead midway through the second quarter, Indiana charged
back to get within 47-40 at halftime. Indiana then opened the third quarter with
back-to-back baskets to close the deficit to four. The Pacers finally tied it at
55 on George Hills 3 with 8:15 to go in the third, and Hibbert gave the Pacers
their first lead, 58-57, on a three-point play 2 minutes later. George helped
keep the Heat at arms length after finally making his first basket with 3:51
left in the third, and Miami never tied the score or regained the lead. "Anytime
you get into this kind of a slugfest with them, where youre down six to eight
points, it feels like its a 20-point lead," Bosh said. "We know theyre a good
team. We know what their goals are, we know what our goals are, we want to keep
building to be a complete team for the spring." NOTES: Singer Justin Timberlake,
Jim Courier and Hulman & Co. CEO Mark Miles were among the familiar faces in
the crowd Tuesday night. ... David West recorded his 5,000th career rebound in
the first quarter. ... Indiana had a season-high 21 turnovers. ... Miami shot
just 42.9 per cent from the field and was a dismal 4 of 21 from 3-point range,
scoring just 54 points over the final three quarters. ... The Pacers improved to
10-2 this season when trailing at halftime.

exhibition season, pushed out of a likely job by Brandon Kozun, the small, but
feisty winger determined to make the NHL for the first time.
