INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Roy Hibbert had 23 points and 12 rebounds, Lance Stephenson added 20 points, and the Indiana Pacers charged back late to beat the Miami Heat 99-92 on Tuesday night and tie the Eastern Conference finals at 2-2.

Indiana tied the score on Paul George's three-point play and erased the Miami lead by closing the game on a 16-6 run.
