Coming off big win, Heat visit 0-2 Pacers
The Miami Heat can only hope their attention-grabbing play on opening night travels when they visit the snake-bitten Indiana Pacers on Saturday night. The Heat came right out of the chute with a 40-point first quarter and stunned the Milwaukee Bucks 137-95 on Thursday night in Miami, scorching the defending champions with 53.1 percent shooting and 15-for-35 accuracy on 3-pointers. Many of the usual suspects -- Tyler Herro (27 points), Jimmy Butler (21) and Bam Adebayo (20 with 13 rebounds) -- spearheaded the assault, but equally impressive was newcomer P.J. Tucker, who posted a team-best plus-31 in 22 minutes in his Heat debut after leaving the Bucks as a free agent over the summer.
