The Heat lost to Indiana Tuesday night 75-78, evening the series to 1-1.

LeBron James scored 28 points for Miami and Wade finished with 24, though both failed to convert big chances late. James missed two free throws with 54.3 seconds left and Miami down one, and Wade was short on a layup that would have tied the game with 16 seconds remaining.

On the other side of the spectrum was the San Antonio Spurs, who crushed the LA Clippers Tuesday night with a final score of 108-92. 

On Sunday, the Heat were EVEN money favorites to win the NBA Championship. Now they are 8/5 with the Spurs a close second at 7/4 and Oklahoma City at 3/1.
