WATCH Heat vs. Pacers Live Stream Online, NBA 2014 New Year's Eve: Listen To Free Basketball Coverage From Indiana, Power Rankings
It's finally that time of year - basketball season!
The Miami Heat battle it out on the court against the Indiana Pacers in Week 9 of the 2014 NBA regular season on Wednesday, December 31 at 3:00 p.m. EST at the Bankers Life Fieldhouse in Indianapolis. Read on to see where fans can watch and listen to a live stream of the New Year's Eve basketball game online and catch up-to-date feeds and coverage on highlight plays and scores.
Following the first few weeks of the NBA regular season, the Heat snag the impressive No. 17 spot in Marc Stein's official NBA power ranking for ESPN.com with a 14-18 winning record:
"Bad time for the longest homestand of the season. A run of seven straight home games coincided with a calf injury that has forced Chris Bosh to miss the first six of them, putting Miami on a pace to become just the third team in the past 30 years to finish below .500 after reaching the NBA Finals."
Meanwhile, the Pacers currently hold the No. 19 spot (out of 30 total teams), with 11 wins and 21 losses. According to Stein:
"Can't tell you what possessed Kevin Garnett to blow in David West's ear on Saturday night. Just as we can't tell you what prompted Lance Stephenson to do the same to LeBron in the playoffs. All we can conclude is that the Pacers apparently have to be involved in these incidents for some reason."
The game will be broadcasted live on local channels SUN and FSIN, but fans can also listen in on the radio at 790 The Ticket, WIOD, KTBB, and KESN.
