Myles Turner - The Canadian PressINDIANAPOLIS —
Pascal Siakam added 23 points for the Pacers, who shot 52% from the field, and Tyrese Haliburton finished with 16 points and 13 assists. Tyler Herro scored 28 points, and Bam Adebayo had 24 for the Heat, who were without six-time All-Star Jimmy Butler because of a sprained ankle. Miami was outscored 62-28 in the paint.
The Pacers bounced back from Friday’s debacle, a 124-111 loss to the Butler-less Heat that coach Rick Carlisle said left him “ashamed.” Indiana never trailed in the rematch.Heat: Although Butler is expected to return Monday for the start of a three-game homestand, Miami lost Jaime Jaquez in the third quarter due to a sprained right ankle. Injuries have been an unfortunate theme in Miami’s 5-7 start.
Pacers: Indiana has shown ability to overcome its own injury woes with Mathurin coming into his own. The third-year wing, starting at small forward because of the absence of Aaron Nesmith, has scored at least 20 points in four of his past six games.Haliburton has shot unusually poor to start this season, and that continued Sunday when he missed eight of his first 10 shots.
