Dwyane Wade scored 25 points, including 14 in the fourth quarter, and the Miami Heat beat Indiana 94-87 Monday night, handing the Pacers their first loss of the postseason. Lamar Odom added 16 points and nine rebounds for the Heat, who extended their home winning streak to 17 games and now trail the best-of-seven series 2-1.

Game 4 is Wednesday night in Miami, where the Heat haven't lost since March 2.

The home-court advantage helped Miami beat the Pacers for the first time in 12 tries.

"Our guys really feed off the electricity and energy in this building," Heat coach Stan Van Gundy said. "They not only feed off the fans, but they want to perform for them. If I could bottle it up and take it on the road with us I would."

The Pacers kept it close thanks to nine 3-pointers, including four in the fourth quarter.

The Heat used a 7-0 run to take a 79-72 lead with 2:55 to play. Wade hit a pull-up jumper at the foul line, then dunked over Jermaine O'Neal. He sliced down the lane, took a pass from Odom and jumped over one of the league's best defenders.

Caron Butler hit two free throws, and Odom added another to cap the Heat's run. They got plenty of help from the Pacers, who made just one of their first 11 shots in the fourth.

Indiana went without a field goal until the 6:20 mark of the fourth. Then made just one more field goal until the final minute of the game.

The Pacers cut the lead to 91-87 on a 3-pointer by Reggie Miller with 21.7 seconds remaining. Odom then missed two free throws, but got his own rebound to prevent a frantic finish. He made 1-of-2 from the line after a foul to put it away.

"We're going to have to play much better to beat this team here," Pacers coach Rick Carlisle said.

Despite the victory, the Heat still face a tough task in the series. Of the 173 previous best-of-seven series to begin 2-0, the trailing team has come back to win the series just seven times.

The Pacers, who had the best record in the NBA during the regular season, had been 6-0 in the postseason. They also set an NBA record by winning all six by double digits.

Although the Heat held Ron Artest to 14 points, O'Neal found his shooting touch that had been missing in the first two games. He scored 29 points on 9-of-21 shooting after being held to 31 percent from the floor in the first two games by defensive-minded Brian Grant.

O'Neal could have done more damage, but he missed five of his first eight free throw attempts. He then made his final eight of the game.

The Heat, meanwhile, still could use Eddie Jones to get going.

Miami had a 9-0 run to start the second quarter with Jones on the bench. He started the game shooting 1-for-4 after struggling to get off shots in the first two games. The Heat's leading scoring during the regular season, Jones was 3-for-9 in the first two games.

Miami outscored the Pacers 15-4 with Jones on the bench. He returned and turned the ball over on the team's first possession with him in the game.

The run helped the Heat outscore Indiana by 10 in the second quarter — only the second time in the series Miami has outscored the Pacers in a frame.

Jones did hit a big 3-pointer with 5:35 to play in the third to put the Heat ahead 55-46 — Miami's biggest lead of the series.

But it was short-lived.

The Pacers trimmed the lead to 58-55 with 2:56 remaining in the third behind strong play from O'Neal and Jamaal Tinsley.

O'Neal scored 11 points in the third on mostly dunks and lay-ups. He could have done more damage, but struggled from the free throw line.

Tinsley had five points and three assists in the third. He also hit a 27-footer as the shot clock sounded in the second. He finished with 16 points.

Van Gundy switched up his usual rotation, using Malik Allen off the bench in place of Udonis Haslem in hopes of getting more offense. It worked. Allen played 18 minutes in the first half and scored 10 points — all in the second quarter.

Allen scored in double figures just five times all season and hadn't done it since Jan. 28 against Cleveland. He finished with 13 points.
