Dwyane Wade’s 41 Too Much For Pacers; Heat Win, 110-103

The Miami Heat’s 110-103 win over the Indiana Pacers was the type of game fans expected and analysts warned of this offseason as Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh and LeBron James assembled in South Beach. Wade made his presence known from the start, scoring 21 points in the first quarter as the Heat jumped all over the Indiana Pacers.

It was, essentially, three on five. But in the first quarter, it worked like a charm. The Heat jumped out to a 41-19 lead, Wade was on fire and all was well. Wade and James even hooked up for one of the best alley-oops you’ll ever see. Yet by halftime, the Miami lead was four, and 11 Pacers had scored. It was team-ball versus the three-man show.

Indiana gave the Heat a better game than should’ve been expected, especially after Miami ran out to a huge first quarter lead. The Pacers’ playoff push officially has legs.

Four Pacers hit double figures on the night.

Anybody who counted the Pacers out (/points to self) after that ugly first quarter should watch the fourth closely.
