Denver, CO (PRWEB) May 29, 2014 -- The Heat are hot and heavy, once again putting the Pacers through their paces. Indiana was desperate to leave Miami with a win Monday night after dropping home court advantage in a disappointing Game 2 loss. The Heat, however, had different intentions and came out firing from the tip-off, out-playing Indiana at both ends of the court.
They led from the start and by as many as 23 points, before cruising to a 102-90 victory in Game 4 at American Airlines Arena in Miami. Center Chris Bosh had his best performance of the series finishing with 25 points while going 3-for-5 from the 3-point arc. Heat guard Dwayne Wade added 15, and LeBron James hit a game-high 32 points to go with 10 rebounds.
“Another hot performance by LeBron James and the rest of the Miami Heat on Monday night has spiked sales for the NBA playoff games once again,” said Marta Ault at online ticket marketplace BuyAnySeat.com.
“That’s why we’re proud to offer fans the most complete and continuously refreshed selection of sports tickets online, with a worry-free guarantee to protect their purchase,” added Ault.

The third quarter was the deciding factor in the game as Miami showed why they’ve made three straight trips to The Finals. The Heat sank 57 percent of their shots, made all 13 of their free throw attempts and outscored the Pacers by 11 points. James was phenomenal in the period, scoring 14 to give the Heat a comfortable 16-point cushion heading into the final frame.
The Heat fell short of their lofty expectations in the regular season, settling for the number two seed in the Eastern Conference for the third time in four years. However, the two-time defending champions remain the popular pick to win the NBA Finals once again this June.
At the start of the 2010-2011 season, the “big three” in LeBron James, Dwayne Wade, and Chris Bosh caused tidal waves in the NBA and charged their way to The Finals after winning 58 games in the regular season.
Though they lost, the Heat returned to earn two consecutive NBA titles in 2012 and 2013, along with numerous franchise and league records. The Heat stand as a dominant force in the postseason and remain thirsty for a fourth straight trip to the Finals and third consecutive championship.
Meanwhile, in the Western Conference, the Thunder, with Serge Ibaka back in the lineup, bounced back after two blowout losses to beat the San Antonio Spurs 106-97, in Game 3 of the Western Conference Finals and 105-102 in Game 4.
The 2014 NBA playoffs tipped off on April 19 and will continue through mid-to late June with the conclusion of the 2014 NBA Finals. The Finals are currently set to begin on Thursday, June 5, 2014.
The Eastern Conference/Division leads the Western Conference/Division in series won (37–29). The defunct Central Division won one championship. The Boston Celtics and the Minneapolis/Los Angeles Lakers own almost half of the titles, having won a combined 33 of 67 championships. The two-time defending champion Miami Heat lost in the finals to the Dallas Mavericks in 2011 and defeated the Oklahoma City Thunder in 2012 and San Antonio Spurs in 2013.
Miami, with a 3-1 advantage played the Pacers again last night to clinch the series with results unavailable at press time. The Miami Heat can join the Lakers and the Celtics as the only teams to make it into the finals four years in a row. With the series now tied at 2-2, The Oklahoma City Thunder play Game 5 at the San Antonio Spurs at 9 pm ET tonight.
