LeBron James' Miami Heat Tops Indiana Pacers to Tie Series at 1-1

LeBron James' Miami Heat were outdone by the Indiana Pacers in game one of their seven-game Eastern Conference Finals series, and it was vital they were able to bounce back in game 2. They did just that, showing the true resilience of champions. The Heat and Pacers went back and forth, with the Heat holding on for the 87-83 victory. Now the teams will head to Miami for games 3 and 4.

LeBron finished with 22 points, scoring 12 in the fourth quarter. Dwyane Wade chipped in with 23 points, but both were outdone by Pacers' Lance Stephenson, who had 25 points. James had no worries as he explained "That's what's it's about. It's not going to be pretty. Not in the Eastern Conference. It's never pretty basketball in the Eastern Conference. It's about who can sustain runs. You know, who can get defensive stops? Who can not turn the ball over and who can get great shots? I think we did that in the fourth."

James revealed their game plan, saying "We fly around. Game 1 we didn't fly around. We let them dictate everything that they wanted and we didn't play Miami Heat defense. That's what's good about this team, we go back, we watch the film, we own up to what we did, the mistakes that we had, and then we come out and make it happen."

Will James remain so confident if the Heat drop one of their two home games, or will he stay as cool as he appears to be right now? Who will win the Eastern Conference Finals?
