No raucous celebration was necessary. Getting back to the NBA Finals isn't nearly enough to satisfy James or the Miami Heat. For the third straight year, the Heat are headed to the ti...

LeBron James scored 32 points and grabbed eight rebounds, ailing Dwyane Wade matched his postseason high with 21 points, and the Heat ran away from the Indiana Pacers 99-76 in Game 7 o...

Now the Pacers have a fighting chance to pull off a stunning playoff upset. Roy Hibbert did everything but pull out the boxing gloves in Game 6, finishing with 24 points and 11 rebounds, and continually contesting Miami's shots to help Indiana stave off elimination with an...

He's not about to let Saturday night's suspension change him — or the way he plays. Less than 24 hours after league officials upgraded Thursday night's flagrant one foul call to a flagrant two and suspended him for Game 6 of the Eastern Co...

Turns out, whatever he said was unnecessary. The look on his face was all the Heat needed. With a brilliant third quarter, James immeasurably changed not just Game 5 of the Eastern Conference finals, but quite possibly whatever's still left to deci...

A sold-out arena was basically silent. The chance of getting back to the NBA Finals for a third straight year could have slipped away. Cue LeBron James. A third quarter for the ages by the four-time MVP turned the game, and perhaps the entire Eastern Conference finals, around. James scored 16 of his 30 points ...

James and West were penalized for the same play during a messy Game 4 of the Eastern Conference finals. James spun and fell and West tumbled toward the baseline during what looked ...

They relentlessly attacked the basket, continually won the battle for loose balls, dominated the glass and, yes, turned the tables on Miami yet again. Roy Hibbert finished with 23 points and 12 rebounds, Lance Stephenson added 20 points, and the Pacers closed the game on a 16-6 run to ...

There was no reason to. Haslem, a veteran forward who had scored in single digits in six of his previous seven playoff games, finished with 17 points on 8-for-9 shooting to help the Miami Heat beat the Pacers 114-96 in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference finals on Sunday ...

By moving James to the post, the Heat won the scoring battle in the paint, kept Indiana at arm's length and pulled away for a 114-96 victory and a 2-1 lead in the Eastern Co...

So in Game 2, he made those plays himself. Twice, in fact. And he victimized the game's best player to make them happen. LeBron James had two turnovers in the last minute — both when...

Predictably, that was himself. The league's MVP had two turnovers in the final minute — both times on passes that were knocked away by David West — and they proved particularly costly for the defending NBA champ...

He had plenty of reason to celebrate. The Eastern Conference finals are tied, and home-court advantage now belongs to West and the Indiana Pacers. Roy Hibbert scored a postseason career-high 29 points and grabbed 10 rebounds, West broke up two pass...

Or not. "Our belief," Pacers coach Frank Vogel said Thursday, "has strengthened." Barely 12 hours after LeBron James scored on a drive as time expired in overti...

The next year, the Miami Heat were headed to the Eastern Conference finals and certain that an NBA championship was in their sights. That's when Wade learned a valuable lesson: Never take playoff chances for granted. Wade hurt his rib cage on a simple crossover dribb...

On Saturday, it produced the biggest payoff for the Pacers in nearly a decade. Roy Hibbert's block of Carmelo Anthony's dunk attempt midway through the fourth quarter spurred an 11-2 run that rallied the Pacers to a 106-99 victory in Game 6 of their second-round series, sending th...

The defenses in this series are too good, so the difference is something else. "It's just a matter of who wants it more," Anthony said. On Thursday night, that was the Knicks. Anthony scored 28 points and New York avoided elimination in the Eastern Confe...

Once Anthony stopped making them, the Indiana Pacers had pushed the Knicks to the brink of elimination. Anthony missed all four of his field goals in the fourth quarter and fouled out. Paul George had six points, four rebou...

The Pacers didn't let the Knicks get away from them on fast breaks, didn't let the Knicks get good 3-point looks and didn't even give New York a chance to challenge late. Instead, Roy Hibbert, Paul George and Indiana showed what it can do when it plays its game. ...

Once the NBA's scoring leader got in a rhythm, not even one of the league's best defenses could knock him out of it. Anthony scored 32 points, 16 during a 30-2 New York onslaught in the second half, and the Knicks beat the Pacers 105-79 on Tuesday night to even the East...

(AP) — The New York Knicks will not concede they have a "big" problem — yet. They know the Indiana Pacers have a size advantage, realize that Carmelo Anthony is going to get beat up banging against a bulkier body, and understand that a change to a lineup with a conventional power forward may become necessary.

David West, Roy Hibbert and the rest of the Pacers are classic Eastern Conference bruisers, and the New York Knicks are countering with something closer to small ball. "It'll be, to me, a contrast in styles most of the series," Indiana coach Frank Vogel said. ...
