NBA Betting: Pacers and Heat Meet in Decisive Game 7

Date/Time: Mon, Jun 3 / 08:35:00 PM ET, American Airlines Arena, Miami, Florida

Time for the biggest game in the Eastern Conference Finals. Game seven is here, and both the Heat and the Pacers are ready to clash in a final and decisive battle for a ticket to the 2013 NBA Finals. 

For the reigning NBA champs, the Miami Heat, the game represents a chance to move into the finals for the third straight year and win the first back-to-back title in franchise history.  But after three losses to Indiana in the Conference Finals, questions surrounding the team’s performance and ability to retain the title have emerged over the last days.  The Heat, who finished the regular season 37-2, has been tagged as one of the biggest favorite to win the NBA title since Jordan’s Bulls, but after sweeping the Bucks 4-0 and eliminating the Bulls 4-1 in the early stages of the 2013 NBA Playoffs, the team has faced some complications against the Pacers.

Now the Heat, who many thought would have an easy road to their second NBA Championship, have to face a team with no fear and nothing to lose, and whose youth seems to be thriving when the most is at stake.  For the Pacers, it's a chance to get into the books as one of the biggest upsets in NBA history, and move to their first NBA final since 2000. But what are their chances of capping the Conference Finals with an upset over the Heat?  While many see this as an impossible task, the Pacers have proven they have what it takes to keep Miami under control, losing the opening game of the series against Miami by 1 point, and handling the Heat a home defeat in the second game at the American Airlines Arena. 

The team also knows how to manage the pressure and take advantage of Miami’s weaknesses. Facing elimination, the Indiana Pacers defeated the Heat, 91-77, Saturday in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference finals. Fresh from Saturday’s win on Game 6, the overconfident Indiana Pacers will try to hand the Heat back-to-back losses for the first time since early January, when the team fell to the Pacers and the Portland Trail Blazers.
