PACERS 90 HEAT 84...CHAMPS 305 come out with a beautiful game plan and then get hit with PACER Nation and BLUE COLLAR in "AREA 55"...LOGO WATCH as The EAST is shaping up ad the Yellow-PACER Road #PACERnation #GOLDswagger #BLUEcollar

The Miami Heat had the Pacers right where they wanted them early but unlike in most games the Logo is all about Runs and how you handle them for against. The Heat 30-19 after one...47-40 at the break with Gold Swagger rated "WH" not PG-24 as in White Hot playing Red Hot. Pacers Paul George only had two points in that 1st half and the Pacers struggled but came out Blue Collar like only the New Pacers can to handle the Heat in the 2nd half.

The Pacers came out after refreshments and concessions and close on a 50-37 run including a 28-17 3rd frame that saw PG-24 get back into the Game. The Pacers Game Plan was simple pound the Orange inside to the Bigs (Area 55/D-West) and let the Big Boys sort them out after that. Pacers Center Roy "Area 55" Hibbert had a game-high 24 points as both PG-24 and D-West added 17 each and George scoring 15 of his 17 in the 2nd half. "Lance of the BK" had his usual nice all-around floor game with 12 points, six boards, and five helpers as his game is starting to evolve into a Point Forward Type playing the Shooting Guard.  

The Heat had their chances only connecting on 4 of 21 Money Balls and they had some wide open looks. King James had 17 points, fourteen boards, and six helpers as Wade County also had 17. It was the Heat Supporting Cast that was disappointing and they are going to have to step up or look for Pat Riley to make some sort of move at the Trade Deadline even though the Heat are limited in the Cap. Bosh had 12 points but only three boards as that is not getting it done. The Heat were -10 on the Boards but took care of the Orange with only 12 turnovers top the Pacers 21 and that is what kept the Heat in the game late.

It will come down to these two barring some Miracle from some other unforeseen happening in the East. Wade County has to get back Healthy for Winning Time looking ahead and both Teams need to stay healthy to make that run. The Game was 1 of 82 but it was also Heat/Pacers with Gold Swagger hitting the Phone Booth going Blue Collar and holding serve after a Home-Cooked Meal....Pacer Nation!
