INDIANAPOLIS - Indiana took every shot Miami could muster Wednesday night. Then the Pacers threw a couple of their own punches — and put the two-time defending champs on the mat. Paul George scored 23 points, Roy Hibbert added 21 and Indiana rallied from a seven-point deficit in the fourth quarter to beat the Heat 84-83, taking a three-game lead over Miami in the chase of the Eastern Conferences top seed. "Theyre the champs, theyre going to bring out the best in us," said David West, who made a 3-pointer with 50.2 seconds to go. "They bring out the best in anybody. I thought we just had enough fight." It was one of those rare grudge matches that actually lived up to the billing. Before the game, the teams chided one another with dueling comments. Afterward, nobody was ready to make up. And in between, the action got downright nasty. LeBron James needed a cotton swab in his nose to keep playing in the fourth quarter after getting whacked in the face. Dwyane Wade spent the final minute of the game icing his right hamstring. Pacers centre Roy Hibbert finished the game despite taking an elbow to the face that left him so groggy he didnt even remember getting hit. James and George both wound up taking spills into basket supports, and Lance Stephenson was ejected midway through the fourth quarter after picking up his second technical foul for celebrating a basket. The angry Stephenson waved his hand at the ref and after leaving the court, threw a towel and kicked a door. Coach Frank Vogel was not amused, saying he had a stern talk with his budding star guard before he went home. But it typified a rugged night for Miami (48-22). "It is what it is, they ref the game, we play it," James said. The NBAs best home team ended a two-game losing streak, took a 2-1 lead in the season series and now has the inside track to home-court advantage with just 10 games to play. And (52-20) Indiana still managed to do all of that on a night James seemed to be at his best. The four-time MVP finished with 38 points, eight rebounds, five assists, was 9 of 15 from the field and 14 of 15 from the free throw line. The problem: James also had six turnovers, Wade had six more turnovers and Miami managed only one basket over the final 3 minutes, 23 seconds. James and Bosh both missed late jumpers that would have given Miami the lead, the last an airball by Bosh from just right of the top of the key as time expired. "Unfortunately, that was what I diagramed," coach Erik Spoelstra said. "It probably wasnt the best call. It might have been a little too gunslinger on my part. I just wanted an open shot." They were so hard to come by Wednesday night that James was even called for a flagrant foul when he drove to the basket and sent the 7-foot-2, 290-pound Hibbert crashing to the ground. When Hibbert got up, he stumbled. Eventually he had to leave the court to change his blood-spattered jersey, but he refused to sit against the Heat. Hibbert dominated the first half yet again, scoring 17 points. But when the Heat decided to make things tough on Hibbert in the second half, George and his teammates took advantage. George spurred the first fourth-quarter run with two monster dunks — one over the hand of a trailing James — to get the Pacers back in the game. Later, it was Evan Turner, the trade deadline acquisition, who delivered two of Indianas biggest baskets of the night. The first came after James final turnover, on a breakaway layup. The second came courtesy of Mario Chalmers turnover out of bounds. When the middle of the court opened up, Turner bolted through a clear path for an 81-80 lead with 90 seconds to go. "I know how to get my space, Ive been doing that forever, you know what I mean?" Turner said, likely adding another spark to a rivalry that needs none. "Some of my moves Ive been doing since I was a little kid, so I can walk a pretty fine line when it comes to that." After Hibbert made 1 of 2 free throws, Turner scored on the layups, West hit the knockout 3 and all Miami got was a 3 from Bosh with 2.9 seconds left. "Theyre a tough team, psychologically against most teams they have the edge," West said. "Theyve got the best player in the game. Their pedigree, their entire organization, you understand what youre going to get." NOTES: Indiana has won its first back-to-back division titles since 1998-99 and 1999-2000. ...

Fair didnt have many chances to be the main option for Syracuse last season.MIAMI - As the youngest driver in NASCARs championship race, Joey Logano hasnt been in the same high-stakes situations as his other three competitors.Seeing an opportunity to maybe rattle his cage, Kevin Harvick pounced.Harvick poked at Logano during Wednesday nights championship kickoff news conference when the four drivers were asked how they were approaching Sundays finale. The Sprint Cup title will go to the highest finishing driver among Harvick, Logano, Denny Hamlin and Ryan Newman.Before Logano could explain his approach, Harvick interrupted him and accused him of blocking at Talladega to help teammate Brad Keselowski win the race.I thought you were going to say you were going to send Brad out to be a moving chicane like you were at Talladega, Harvick said.Logano didnt flinch: I dont know what youre talking about, he said. When the formal portion of the event was over, Logano patted Harvick on the back and said, Nice.Harvick has played these games before — he needled Denny Hamlin during the 2010 lead-up to the championship. Hamlin was the points leader and stressed about the expectations, and the contenders news conference set the tone for a miserable weekend in which Hamlin lost the title.The next year, Tony Stewart openly ribbed Carl Edwards at their contenders event. Then Stewart won the race and the championship on a tie-breaker over Edwards.Harvick and Logano have had issues in the past, aand Logano once said that Harvicks wife, Delana wears the firesuit in the family.dddddddddddd With five wins this season, Logano could be considered the favourite on Sunday along with Harvick, who has four wins.So it made sense for Harvick to try to play some mind games with the 24-year-old driver, who is in his first title hunt.Logano said after that he wasnt bothered by Harvick.I think it is funny, he said. It is so cool to be here and having a shot at the championship. On top of that, when you have one of the threats to win the championship along with yourself trying to play head games with you, it means theyre nervous about you and I think thats kind of cool.Im all right with it. Im having fun with this.Harvick insisted he wasnt joking about the Talladega dig: I told him that after Talladega, I said, That karma will catch up with you, buddy. He knows I wasnt joking.Hamlin, who insisted he lost the championship because he ran poorly in 2010 and not because of Harvicks jabs four days earlier, said he expected Harvick to make a run at Logano.Joey is the new guy, hes the young guy and obviously hes got a great shot at the championship, Hamlin said. Everyone is going to look for every advantage that they can get, whether it be coincidence or not that the person poking fun is the one that kind of gets under the other persons skin. You knew Kevin was going to have a little fun out there.
