When the Miami Heat and Indiana Pacers faced off three weeks ago, the game ended in what can only be effectively described as a thorough ass-thumpin’ as the Heat took down Indiana 114-80. Dwyane Wade played just 28 minutes, yet in that short span, he was able to drop 25 points on the Pacers, going 10 for 17 from the floor and 5 for 6 from the stripe. Michael Beasley scored 16, Udonis Haslem had 13, and Jermaine O’Neal added 19, each contributing to the decimation of Larry Bird’s team. Pacers über-rookie Tyler Hansbrough, meanwhile, grabbed 10 boards and scored 10 points on an 0 for 5 night, becoming the first NBA player to have a double-double without a field goal since Andre Miller did it back in 2005. So, you know, they got that going for them.

Hansbrough and the Pacers will look for vengeance this Tuesday night.
