Last updated on Thursday, December 15, 2016

(MIAMI, FL) - The Pacers’ up-and-down season continued as they lost to the Miami Heat 95-89.

Hassan Whiteside had a monster 26 point and 22 rebound double-double as Miami won back-to-back home games for the first time this season and snapped the Pacers attempt at a their first three-game win streak.

"Whiteside basically just dominated the paint," Nate McMillan said. "We really just didn't have an answer for his paint presence."

Paul George led the Blue & Gold with 22 points and seven rebounds while C.J. Miles added 15 points off the bench. The Pacers were out-rebounded 58-38 and shot just 37 percent from the field.

Indiana's three-game road trip continues tonight when they visit the New Orleans Pelicans, who are struggling at 8-18. Tip-off is at 8pm.
