Pacers take the Heat

Last night we watched Pacers play the Miami Heat. The game featured the Allstars Dwyane Wade, ex-Pacer Jermaine O'neal and 2008 2nd Draft pick Michael Beasley up against Danny Granger with a bunch of rookies.

The game was won by the Pacers by 2 points and I was surprised how competitive the match was as it resembled an arm wrestle. Up until the final 1.3 seconds it was there to be won or loss and Dwyane Wade through up a 3 pointer that rimmed out.

I was also amazed at the extent of the hype and the parade of extras that proceeded through each quarter break and even during the timeouts. There were the obligatory trampoline dunking, cheer-girls and free t-shirts, balls etc projected into the crowd.
