Heat reserves gotten them back to within 15 with 7:14 to go. Carlisle isn’t messing around — sends his starters out there.
Important game in the East and to start 2025. – 9:32 PM

Heat defense getting shredded by Indiana. 107 points through three quarters. Haliburton going crazy. Pacers shooting 61% from the field. Miami’s lack of effort defensively in this one is glaring. – 9:18 PM

Pacers with 100pts with 2:47 left in the 3Q. And a 25-point lead.
They’re crushing the Heat. And moving the ball well — with 31a on 42 FGs. Haliburton has 25pts, 15asts. And they’re shooting 63% from the field.
All Pacers in this one. – 9:13 PM

The thing that keeps pulling me back in to the Pacers, who are vacillating around .500 & are up double-digits on the Heat right now, is that their starting lineup has played really beautifully together this season — and is actually guarding pretty well. First unit at it again tn. – 8:33 PM

What an outstanding 1Q from Tyrese Haliburton, accounting for 79% of the Pacers’ offense.
16pts, 3rebs, 6asts — one more assist than the Heat.
Pacers lead 38-25. And have to keep running given that the Heat played last night. – 8:08 PM

Pacers coach Rick Carlisle, pregame, on Tyler Herro, “There’s a lot of talk for him for All-Star, and it’s all deserved. The things that he’s pulled off at the ends of games, consistently over the first two and a half months of the season, have been pretty breathtaking.” – 7:02 PM

If Ball-Mitchell-Tatum-Giannis-Towns start for the East I’m assuming reserves will be: Garland, Brown, Young, Brunson, Mobley, Lillard and maybe Embiid?
With Maxey/Cunningham/Herro next up.
That’s assuming reserves are still 2 G, 3FC, 2 WC. – 1:40 PM

Don’t read too much into Tyler Herro being ninth in All-Star voting right now.
In fact, don’t read anything into it.
In NBA history, averaging at least 24, 5 and 5 while being on pace to play in 50 games or more has gotten players an All-Star selection 98.7% of the time. – 1:22 PM

Good thing for Tyler Herro is he wasn’t expected to make the All-Star Game as a starter. It will come down to the head coaches who select the seven All-Star reserves from each conference. – 1:17 PM
