MIAMI (AP) - Chris Bosh scored 31 points, Dwyane Wade had 27 including a layup that beat the buzzer and forced overtime, and the Miami Heat erased an 18-point third-quarter deficit to beat the Indiana Pacers 103-100 on Monday night.
Goran Dragic added 13 for Miami, which matched a season best with its third straight win.
Paul George scored 32 points on 12-for-29 shooting for Indiana, but his 3-pointer from the right corner bounced off the rim on the game's final play. Monta Ellis had 17 points, Ian Mahinmi finished with 13 and Rodney Stuckey scored 12 for the Pacers.
Bosh put Miami up with a pair of free throws with 3:14 left in overtime, and the Heat wouldn't lose the lead again.
