Late Miami Heat rally levels series

The Miami Heat came from behind late on to clinch an 87-83 win over the Indiana Pacers, levelling their Eastern Conference finals series.

The teams remained close throughout the first three quarters, before the top seeds started to pull away early in the fourth, led by Lance Stephenson who tied his best scoring performance in a playoff game with 25 points.

However, the two-time defending champions were brought back into the tie by Dwyane Wade and LeBron James.

The duo combined to add the team's final 20 points of the game, edging the Heat back in front in the final couple of minutes to cancel out their defeat at the weekend.

The teams meet again in Miami on Saturday.
