Heat Edge Pacers in Overtime

Chris Bosh scored 31 points and grabbed 11 rebounds, Dwyane Wade had 27 including a layup that beat the buzzer and forced overtime, and the Heat erased an 18-point third-quarter deficit to beat the Pacers 103-100 on Monday night.

 width=It was the worst-shooting game of the season for Miami, which connected on 38 percent of its tries and won anyway.

Goran Dragic added 13 for Miami, which matched a season best with its third straight win.

Paul George scored 32 points on 12-for-29 shooting for Indiana, but his 3-pointer from the right corner bounced off the rim on the game's final play. Monta Ellis had 17 points, Ian Mahinmi finished with 13 and Rodney Stuckey scored 12 for the Pacers.

Indiana led by 18 in the third before the Heat roared back, an 18-3 run setting the tone. The Heat took their first lead with 3:11 left in regulation on a free throw by Bosh, after Vogel was hit with a technical by referee Zach Zarba.

After Stuckey made one of two free throws with 2.7 seconds left in regulation for a two-point lead, the Heat gave the ball to Wade. His left-handed layup beat the buzzer and sent the game to overtime.

George Hill (food poisoning) was out, so CJ Miles - who has started 23 of his 29 appearances this season anyway - was back in the Indiana starting lineup. Miles left late in the first quarter with a sore right shoulder, and Glenn Robinson III started the second half in his place.

The Pacers are in Orlando on Wednesday.
