Miami Heat move closer to Eastern Conference title against Pacers
LeBron James and Chris Bosh lead Miami closer to another Eastern Conference title as they take a decisive 3-1 lead against Indiana
Chris Bosh got them started. LeBron James took over in the second half.
And in the end, the Miami Heat moved one win from yet another Eastern Conference title.
James had 32 points and 10 rebounds, Bosh added 25 points - nearly matching his output from the first three games of the series combined - and the Heat grabbed control of the East finals by topping the Indiana Pacers 102-90 in game four for a 3-1 lead.
We try to get better every single day, every single game
Dwyane Wade added 15 points and Miami never trailed, leading by 23 at one point.
"We try to get better every single day, every single game," James said. "When you do that and go out and play the type of game that you are capable of playing, you can be satisfied with the results. And that's what we've built over the years."
Only the Celtics and Lakers franchises have been to the NBA finals in four straight seasons. The Heat now have three chances to join that club, starting with game five at Indiana on Thursday.
"We got outplayed by the Heat," Pacers coach Frank Vogel said. "I wasn't disappointed in our fight. I was disappointed in the result."
