NBA game of the week: Heat at Pacers, Tuesday
MIAMI AT INDIANA
When: 4 p.m. PST Tuesday.
TV: None.
The ever-evolving Paul George has helped the Pacers compile the NBA’s best record and stands as a possible threat to LeBron James’ winning a fifth most-valuable-player award.
The Heat has suffered through some early-season three-peat malaise during recent losses to Detroit and Chicago, both without Dwyane Wade.
No matter what happens during the teams’ four regular-season meetings, this rivalry is almost assured to be continued in the playoffs.
It looks increasingly like these teams will meet in the Eastern Conference finals, given the likely season-ending injury to Chicago’s Derrick Rose and the laughable lack of other East challengers that are even at .500.
