MIAMI (AP) - The best rivalry in the Eastern Conference is now on hiatus until March 26. And the Miami Heat are a little bummed about that. Two games in an eight-day span between Miami and the Indiana Pacers are now in the books, both teams winning on their home floor, and yes, all that mutual dislike thats a direct byproduct of rugged battles in the past two postseasons is still very much evident. The last chapter went to Miami, with Dwyane Wade scoring 32 points, LeBron James adding 24 on a sore left ankle, and the Heat erasing a 15-point deficit to beat the Pacers 97-94 on Wednesday. The next time the principals involved will see each other is the All-Star Game, where Indiana coach Frank Vogel will almost certainly be coaching an East team that will have many of his guys _ as well as James, Wade and Chris Bosh _ all sharing a locker room. "Im actually kind of sad we dont play them for three months," James said.
