The Indiana Pacers defeated the Miami Heat 135-118 in a rare victory, with Pascal Siakam scoring 30 points and Micah Potter adding 21 and tying a career high with five 3-pointers. This win was only the second since the All-Star break for the short-handed Pacers, with Kobe Brown among five players to score in double figures. The Pacers finished with 18 3-fires in their 17th win, matching Brooklyn and Washington for the fewest victories in the NBA this season. The loss for Miami was another setback for its hopes of avoiding the play-in tournament and earning a top-six seed in the Eastern Conference playoffs.
