Heat Snap Losing Streak In Indiana
Miami Wins 96-83
POSTED: Friday, October 30, 2009
INDIANAPOLIS -- Jermaine O'Neal had 22 points and 12 rebounds against his former team, and the Miami Heat beat the Indiana Pacers 96-83 on Friday night.
The Pacers traded O'Neal before the 2008-09 season as they focused on rebuilding with younger players. He was animated throughout the game, drawing a technical foul for hanging on the rim after a dunk and later smiling when Pacers fans booed him.
Dwyane Wade scored 32 points for the Heat, who have won their first two games by a combined 35 points.
Danny Granger led the Pacers with 22 points, but shot 6 of 20 from the field.
The Pacers, who have opened the season with two double-digit losses, shot 37 percent and made just 4 of 23 3-pointers.
The Heat snapped a 14-game regular season losing streak in Indiana.
