The Heat has taken 36 midrange shots and just 16 threes tonight.
A lot of those midrange shots have gone in, so the Heat is ahead by six with 7:32 to play. – 9:47 PM

Bam Adebayo is the first Heat player with at least 10 30-point games in a regular season since LeBron James had 31 such games in 2013-14. – 9:46 PM

Butler still out. He exited late in third with Heat up six. Heat up seven at moment. – 9:46 PM

Down by 12, Haliburton and Nesmith return with 8:39 left. Mathurin, meanwhile, has played a team-low 13mins.
McConnell leads the Pacers in scoring with 18. – 9:44 PM

10th 30-point game for Bam Adebayo this season. He continues to impact on the Heat’s game in multiple ways. #HEATCulture9:43 PM
Wes Goldberg @wcgoldberg
Great example of Bam and Herro’s evolving two-man game. Turner is playing up on Bam’s FT-line jumper more and took it away on the last possession. Bam pitched it to Herro, Herro dragged his defender and Turner away from Bam, pitched it back and Bam had enough space to get it off – 9:41 PM
Miami Heat @MiamiHEAT
Anyone counting how many jumpers Bam has made today? – 9:40 PM
Tony East @TEastNBA
Surprised how little Carlisle has gone to Mathurin tonight. Miami was making an effort to slow him down and it was tough for the rookie to get involved, but he is approaching his season low in minutes. Only been under 20 minutes once before (also against Miami). – 9:40 PM
Christos Tsaltas @Tsaltas46
Bam Adebayo is the tone setter offensively for the Heat and the flow is at a very good level. Some great moments out there tonight, very encouraging signs. #HEATCulture9:39 PM

Almost an impressive end to the third quarter for the Pacers after a nice steal from McConnell, but Hield can’t get a three to go. 22-8 run by Miami to close the third quarter. They lead by 6 with 12 minutes to go. – 9:30 PM

I’d imagine the Westbrook buyout could have an impact on Miami’s ability to trade Lowry. Teams that could be interested, like the Clippers, have leverage in negotiations. “Well, if you don’t give us Lowry for what we want, we’ll just sign Russ.” – 8:20 PM

Really interesting lineup for the Heat right now. Vincent and Herro both on the bench. It’s Butler, Strus, Highsmith, Orlando and Caleb Martin, who has brought the ball up a couple of times. – 8:03 PM
Ira Winderman @IraHeatBeat
Jamal Cain now in for Heat. A night earlier he was playing against the Long Island Nets. – 8:02 PM
Anthony Chiang @Anthony_Chiang
Heat with seven assists on its first nine made baskets. The ball movement has been really good. – 8:02 PM

Ira Winderman @IraHeatBeat
Jimmy Butler at the moment finds himself on the court alongside Max Strus, Caleb Martin, Haywood Highsmith and Orlando Robinson. – 8:01 PM
Wes Goldberg @wcgoldberg
Gabe Vincent has 11 points in five minutes. How he plays in the starting lineup with Kyle Lowry out for these three games could create some tough decisions after the deadline (if Lowry is still on the team). – 7:59 PM
Indiana Pacers @Pacers
Aaron Nesmith drives baseline and drops the hammer.💥 pic.twitter.com/8szjswPnrM7:59 PM

Tony East @TEastNBA
16-2 run by the Heat, who have 25 points in under 6.5 minutes. They’re 7/10 from the field and 7/7 from the line. Tough start for the Pacers defense. Carlisle calls timeout. – 7:58 PM
Anthony Chiang @Anthony_Chiang
Gabe Vincent scorching with 11 points in the first 6:07, but goes to the bench with two early fouls.
Heat already 7 of 10 from the field and 4 of 5 from three-point range to open a 25-11 lead over the Pacers. – 7:57 PM
Wes Goldberg @wcgoldberg
This is the kind of off-ball movement the Heat have been emphasizing with Tyler Herro in the starting lineup. Makes the defense react, gives up the ball, gets it back for the C&S 3. (apologies for how glitchy it is. internet in arena is spotty) pic.twitter.com/5tqSgJFMB67:57 PM

Scott Agness @ScottAgness
Pacers started 3/3 from 3, have since missed their last four. And the Heat scored 14pts in a row to put the Pacers’ in an early double-digit hole. Heat dictating the game. – 7:56 PM
Ira Winderman @IraHeatBeat
Orlando Robinson is back, missing just two games with his thumb fracture. Haywood Highsmith and Max Strus also enter. – 7:56 PM

Heat come out scoring well, mostly by getting to the line
But Gabe Vincent has looked very good offensively in the opening stint
Off the catch play – 7:52 PM

Buddy Hield beats the shot clock with a DEEP three.

Gabe Vincent continues his push to be Heat starting point guard of the future. Up to eight points on two shots. – 7:51 PM
Anthony Chiang @Anthony_Chiang
Gabe Vincent with eight of the Heat’s first 15 points. – 7:50 PM
Tony East @TEastNBA
Buddy Hield fumbles the ball late in the shot clok and is forced to pull up from the parking lot. He drilled it. Pacers have made three 3s and the game is tied 9-9. – 7:49 PM
Indiana Pacers @Pacers
Tyrese Haliburton drives and kicks to Myles Turner for three.👌
