INDIANAPOLIS-- After two quarters of play at the Bankers Life Fieldhouse Tuesday night here in downtown Indianapolis, the Indiana Pacers are clinging to a shaky 48-47 lead over the Miami Heat.

Before an ecstatic home crowd that filled this stadium decked in gold shirts, the Pacers raced to an early 9-0 lead and looked poised to blow the defending champions out of their building. But the Heat quickly answered with a 15-7 run that set the stage for a close 24 minutes of action.

The Heat are leading this best-of-7 series 2-1 with Game 5 set Thursday night at the American Airlines Arena in Miami. (Homer D. Sayson)
