Takeaways<\/p>\n
Pacers: Indiana made 17 3-pointers and the Pacers are now 8-2 this season when connecting at least 15 times from beyond the arc. They\u2019re 5-10 this season in games where they made 12 or fewer from 3-point range.<\/p>\n
Heat: Thursday was the 25th anniversary of Miami\u2019s first game at what is now called Kaseya Center. The Heat beat Orlando 111-103 on opening night, Jan. 2, 2000. They\u2019re now 736-395 in the building, including 86-36 in playoff games.<\/p>\n
Key moment<\/p>\n
Miami was within 14 early in the third, before the Pacers got six points in 30 seconds \u2014 a three-point play from Turner and a 3-pointer from Siakam \u2014 to go up 78-58 with 8:08 left in that quarter.<\/p>\n
Key stat<\/p>\n
Haliburton had 16 points and five assists in the first quarter. It marked the third time in his career that he has done that in a quarter, joining the third quarter of a Pacers-Charlotte game on Nov. 4, 2023 (25 and 6) and the fourth quarter of a Pacers-San Antonio game on Oct. 21, 2022 (18 and 5). Oddly, the Pacers lost both of those games.<\/p>\n
Up Next<\/p>\n
Both teams are at home Saturday night, with the Pacers hosting Phoenix and the Heat hosting Utah.<\/p>\n
