Mandatory credit: Michael Hickey-US PRESSWIRE Heat vs. Pacers should be an excellent series, if both teams play up to their potential. Indiana finished the regular season No. 7 in offense and No. 9 in defense; Miami sussed out at No. 8 on offense and No. 4 on defense. The Heat took three of four games from the Pacers in the regular season, two of them blow-outs.
