The Indiana Pacers fell flat far too often in Game 1 against the Miami Heat, allowing the Heat to take away their offense while getting big shots late from both Jimmy Butler and Goran Dragic. The Pacers led 87-85 early in the fourth quarter, but allowed six straight to follow, giving the Heat a lead for good. The Pacers were outscored 32-21 in the fourth quarter to fall behind 0-1 in their first round series.
T.J. Warren and Malcolm Brogdon each scored 22 to lead the Pacers, but positives from both came in bunches leading to a lot of really tough stretches.
