Facing the prospect of a third straight
loss, the Heat were picked up by their two remaining stars. Instead of going
home in a two-game hole, they'll head back to Miami with some much-needed
mojo. LeBron James and Dwyane Wade scored 38 straight points in the middle of
Game 4 on Sunday afternoon and the Heat battled for a 101-93 victory over the
Indiana Pacers to even their Eastern Conference semifinal. James had 40
points, 18 rebounds and nine assists while Wade added 30 points, nine boards
and six helpers -- their best performance since Chris Bosh went down in Game
1. James and Wade scored 48-of-50 points for the Heat between the latter
stages of the second quarter and early in the fourth. Udonis Haslem picked up
some of the slack down the stretch, scoring eight of his 14 points in the
final quarter. Game 5 is Tuesday night in Miami. Danny Granger led the Pacers
with 20 points, Darren Collinson had 16 off the bench, Paul George scored 13
and Roy Hibbert chipped in 10 with nine rebounds. Hibbert and David West, who
scored eight, both played in foul trouble.
