Today's live stream of Heat vs. Pacers should come with a free broom, but no one likes a jinx, right? Yes, it's almost time to see if Miami will finish off Indianapolis and grab its first chance to advance to the Eastern Conference semifinals. Malcolm Brogdon (34 points, 14 assists), TJ Warren (23 points, 5 steals), and Victor Oladipo (20 points) did their best in Game 3, but Miami still won by 9 points.

On paper, the Pacers' shooting percentage numbers would suggest that they could win, but they did not. On the contrary, they have been stifled by Miami in several hotly contested games.

In Game 3, Miami's lead play was keyed by Jimmy Butler (27 points, 8 rebounds, 4 assists), Goran Dragic (24 points, 6 assists), and Bam Adebayo (22 points, 11 rebounds, 5 assists). Also not bad was Tyler Herro's 20 points off the bench.

So, can Indianapolis beat Miami in a shootout? Let's find out.
