Every morning, we’ll give you five things from the night before in the NBA to start your day. 1:  Pacers demolish Miami This was a beat down.  Pure and simple.  Don’t let the halftime tie fool you.  The Pacers took control of this game in the second quarter after coming out strong and letting off […]
