The All-Star duo of LeBron James and Dwyane Wade brought Miami back from the brink to win it last night for Game 2 of the Eastern Conference finals.
The two teamed up for Miami’s final 20 points in an 87-83 victory over the Indiana Pacers that left the Eastern Conference finals tied at a game apiece.
Wade, who had 13 points in the Heat’s 41-point first half, scored his final 10 in the fourth. James, who finished with 22 points, had 12 in the fourth.
Together they helped Miami avoid falling into a 2-0 hole for the first time since the first round of the 2010 playoffs.
Lance Stephenson tied his playoff career high with 25 points for the Pacers. Paul George scored 14.
On Tuesday, the Pacers were in a strong position midway through the fourth before James and Wade helped Miami seize the home-court advantage Indiana so desperately wanted for this series.
Miami has won 11 straight games following a playoff loss.
Now the series shifts back to Miami for Game 3 on Saturday and Game 4 on Monday.
