(Sports Network) - LeBron James has played the role of hero. He has played the role of goat. Thats just during the Eastern Conference Finals. The Indiana Pacers knotted the Eastern Conference Finals and now the series with the defending champion Miami Heat shifts to Indianapolis for Game 3 Sunday night. After having their collective heart ripped out in Game 1 on Wednesday night in Miami, the Pacers stood tall, kept Roy Hibbert in the lineup, and prevailed, 97-93. "Its a nice win. Its good to split. And we havent done anything yet," said Hibbert. "We havent closed the series out. We won one game. A lot of us feel we should be up 2-0 obviously with the last play of Game 1." The last play of Game 1 was James easy layup with 2.2 seconds on the clock. Hibbert was sitting on a metal chair as it took place, despite being an elite rim protector in the NBA. Hibbert was sensational on Friday night with 29 points and 10 rebounds, but Game 2 was once again about the reigning MVP. On this night, he did not deliver. James turned it over twice with chances to win the game for the Heat. "I made two mistakes tonight. That hurt our team and that hurt more than anything - let my teammates down," said James. "They expect me to make plays down the stretch, and I had the ball with the opportunity to make a couple of plays and I came up short. That burns." The Pacers led by two with 43 seconds left when James pass to Ray Allen was intercepted by David West. Indiana turned over the ensuing possession thanks to a shot-clock violation and James committed another turnover. His pass was batted away by West and George Hill buried two free throws to seal the victory. "Very disappointing, of course, for me," said James. "Thats the first thing I always look at on the stat sheet is my turnovers. I had two key ones at a big point of the game. I am very disappointed in my judgment and my plays down the stretch. But Ill make up for them." Aside from those two late hiccups (actually five all together), James was his usual brilliant self. He had 36 points on 14-for-20 shooting and grabbed eight boards. Chris Bosh (17) and Dwyane Wade (16) were the only other Heat players in double figures on Friday. Both shot 6-for-14 from the floor. For the Pacers, Hibbert was wonderful, but it was a balanced effort in the scoring column. All five starters scored in double digits led by Hibbert and Paul George. The third-team All-NBA forward, who overplayed James in Game 1 and allowed him to streak to the basket, netted 22 points. Hill added 18 followed by Wests 13 and 10 from Lance Stephenson. Indianas starters accounted for 92 of its 97 points. "Its balanced and its difficult to guard, and when everybody is clicking the way they were tonight, and I thought everybody had chances to step up and did step up for our team, we looked like a true team," said Pacers coach Frank Vogel. "Its fun to be a part of." The Pacers won both of their regular-season matchups at home against the Heat. They are also a perfect 6-0 in Bankers Life Fieldhouse during this postseason. Indiana had a 2-1 series lead in last seasons Eastern Conference Semifinals against the Heat, but dropped three straight. Miami of course ascended to the top of the sport. Game 4 is scheduled for Tuesday night. C.J. Mosley Youth Jersey . Vettel was 0.168 seconds faster than Red Bull teammate Mark Webber around the Suzuka circuit. Mercedes driver Nico Rosberg was two tenths of a second off Vettel. "The car balance is decent, but I think we can still improve," Vettel said. Eric Weddle Ravens Jersey .

Hazard cut in from the left and scored with a swerving right-footed shot for ninth goal of the season, which proved to be enough for the victory despite Chelseas forwards again lacking a cutting edge up front. Terrance West Youth Jersey The New York Giants defense took a hit Tuesday with news that starting safety Darian Thompson will miss the remainder of the season.Thompson is having surgery on his foot and was placed on injured reserve. He missed the Giants past six games with a sprained foot.Offensive lineman Adam Gettis was elevated from the practice squad to take Thompsons spot on the roster.Its a disappointing end to a promising rookie season for Thompson. The Giants had high hopes for him after he blew them away this spring and summer, when he almost immediately worked his way to the top of the depth chart thanks to his ball skills and ability to grasp the defense.Thompson was expected to start opposite Landon Collins, but he was hampered by a string of injuries. He hurt his shoulder this summer and had his foot stepped on by a teammate late in a Week 2 victory over the New Orleans Saints. Thompson suffered a setback at practice last Wednesday that ultimately ended his season.Undrafted rookie free agent Andrew Adams has started the past five games at free safety. Hes expected to keep the role. Nat BBerhe also returned last week after missing four games with a concussion.ddddddddddddLast Wednesday, Thompson felt pain when he tried to plant his foot and was forced to shut it down. He went to North Carolina on Tuesday to meet with renowned foot specialist Dr. Robert Anderson, who recommended surgery.Thompson split time with Berhe in the opener and made his first career start in Week 2 against the Saints. He shined in the first two games of the season -- making seven tackles -- and looked like a potential difference-making player on the defense.The Giants were excited about the possibilities of adding a natural center fielder to their defense. The free safety was supposed to be an ideal complement to Collins, who thrives closer to the line of scrimmage.Thompson set the Mountain West Conference record with 19 career interceptions, and he impressed the Giants this spring and summer with his ability to command the defense and ball-hawking skills.
