For the Miami Heat and LeBron James, it’s all over. It’s also just beginning. By falling to the Chicago Bulls, the Heat 27-game winning streak, the second-longest in NBA history, came to a bitter end. Miami was just six wins shy of tying the Los Angeles Lakers’ record for 33-consecutive wins in 1971-72, and seven [...]

The Indiana Pacers are banged up, none more so than Danny Granger. Moving forward, the Pacers need to keep in eye on Lance Stephenson (hip), David West (back) and George Hill (groin).

He’s averaging 14.3 points on 44.9 percent shooting (42.6 [...]
