The Indiana Pacers defeated the Miami Heat 99-92 in a highly contested matchup to even the Eastern Conference Finals 2-2. Indiana was led by Roy Hibbert who dominated inside with 23 points and 12 rebounds and Lance Stephenson who had 20 points and five rebounds. Miami was led by LeBron James who had 24 points, six rebounds, five assists, and three blocks before fouling out with a little bit under a minute left in the game.

Last night's game might be remembered more for some dubious calls against both teams late. The Pacers were called for a 24-second shot clock violation that was clearly wrong and the missed call played a role in Miami making a pivotal 14-2 run to take a three-point lead. Miami also experienced life on the wrong side of the whistle with LeBron's questionable sixth foul. Refs gonna ref? Game five takes place in Miami on Thursday night.
