The 2012 NBA Playoffs move along into Tuesday as the field continues to narrow. Two night games are on the slate.

First up is Game 2 between the Miami Heat and the Indiana Pacers. The Heat did not have much trouble dispatching of the visiting Pacers on Sunday and they are attempting to go up 2-0 in the series on home court. That game tips off at 7 p.m. ET and will be televised on TNT.

In the nightcap, the final semifinals series begins as the Los Angeles Clippers visit the San Antonio Spurs in Game 1. The Clippers just wrapped up Game 7 against the Memphis Grizzlies on Sunday and the Spurs are well-rested. The Clippers hope to fare better than the Los Angeles Lakers did in a similar situation against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Monday night. The game will begin at 9:30 p.m. ET and will also be televised on TNT.
