Heat Downs Pacers in Overtime, NBA Scores

Chris Bosh and Paul George had a quick conversation during one stoppage in play, both taking a moment to remember some of those epic Miami-Indiana playoff matchups of a few years ago.

"I was joking with PG, just telling him how it was old times," Bosh said.

Sure felt that way for the Heat -- as they showed their rivalry with the Pacers still very much matters.

Bosh scored 31 points and grabbed 11 rebounds, Dwyane Wade had 27 including a layup that beat the buzzer and forced overtime, and the Heat erased an 18-point third-quarter deficit to beat the Pacers 103-100 on Monday night.

It was the worst-shooting game of the season for Miami, which connected on 38 percent of its tries and won anyway.

"This was classic Eastern Conference basketball," Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said.

Goran Dragic added 13 for Miami, which matched a season best with its third straight win.

George scored 32 points on 12-for-29 shooting for Indiana, but his 3-pointer from the right corner bounced off the rim on the game's final play. Monta Ellis had 17 points, Ian Mahinmi finished with 13 and Rodney Stuckey scored 12 for the Pacers.
