Heat Beats Pacers to Win Third Straight, NBA Scores

Chris Bosh remained away from the team. Luol Deng had to put his own dislocated finger back into place. Dwyane Wade missed his first 10 shots. Beno Udrih departed in the first half with a right foot injury.

And the Indiana Pacers led 11-0 to open the game. Somehow, not even all that could deter the Miami Heat.

Goran Dragic scored 24 points, Hassan Whiteside finished with 19 points and 18 rebounds, and the Heat won their third consecutive game since the All-Star break, rallying from 14 points down to beat the Pacers 101-93 in overtime Monday night.

"What's going to break us?" Wade said. "That's the character of this team. We're tough."

Wade added 16 points and Justise Winslow scored 15 for Miami, which won despite shooting only 38 percent. The Heat grabbed 66 rebounds for the second consecutive game after reaching that mark only three times in their first 28 seasons.

Deng had 13 points and 16 rebounds for Miami.
