Miami Heat Fall to Pacers: Breaking Down the Final Play

The Miami Heat fell to the Indiana Pacers in a game that came down to the final play Friday night. Throughout the game, Erik Spoelstra drew up a number of great plays out of timeouts, including a wall of for a Chris Bosh jumper and a crunch-time alley-oop to Tyler Johnson.

However, the final play of the game was a dud. Down 90-87 with just over four seconds remaining, Justise Winslow inbounded the ball to Dwyane Wade, who put up a falling shot from the corner to try to tie it. It didn’t go in. Game over.

You may question why Spoelstra went to Wade for a game-tying 3-pointer.
