Heat eyeing first-round sweep of Pacers

The Miami Heat will attempt to sweep a playoff series from the Indiana Pacers for the first time in their head-to-head history on Monday in Game 4 of their Eastern Conference first-round clash in the NBA bubble near Orlando.

In taking a commanding 3-0 lead in the best-of-seven series, the Heat have dominated most aspects of the games, leading to a 10-point average margin of victory.

Miami's 124-115 win in Game 3 on Saturday was heavily impacted by free-throw shooting. The Heat went to the line 52 times and made 43, whereas the Pacers attempted just 28 foul shots and made 21.
