After defeating the Indiana Pacers in a bitterly contested six-game series in last season’s Eastern Conference semifinals, the Miami Heat now will face the Pacers in the Eastern Conference finals, a series that opens Wednesday at 8:30 p.m. [...]
MIAMI— The clipboard is handed from coach to trainer. The huddle is broken. The final five get into position. Or sometimes they simply flow from defense to offense. And then?
