The Indiana Pacers stole the momentum back from the Miami Heat in this series with a 99-92 win.
LeBron James fouled out with just under one minute left in the game on a very questionable call, and that was really the turning point in Game 4.
The Heat didn't break the 70-point mark—where they were at halftime in Game 3—until under 11:30 in the fourth quarter. The Pacers' defense wasn't necessarily the difference-maker; the Heat just consistently hesitated on open shots, which led to a rough shooting night—ending Game 4 shooting just 39 percent from the floor.
With that being said, Roy Hibbert absolutely owned the Heat with 23 points on 10-of-16 shooting. His impressive post play was a major reason why the Pacers outscored the Heat 52-30 in the paint.
Lance Stephenson also stepped up for Indiana, outplaying Dwyane Wade with 20 points and five rebounds while shooting 9-of-15 from the floor.
A once-seven-game series is now a best-of-three series that is headed to South Beach. Game 5 is set to tip off at 8 p.m. ET on Thursday, and it's a game you absolutely don't want to miss.
With LeBron fouling out, in essence letting his team down, it's safe to say that he'll be back in Game 5 with a serious level of intensity. That's going to be fun to watch.
