NBA Playoffs Standings: Pacers and Spurs Look For 2-0 Lead Over Heat and Thunder In Conference Finals Series After Wins

The NBA playoffs standings has the Miami Heat down 1-0 to the Indiana Pacers and they are playing Game 2 on Tuesday at Bankers Life Fieldhouse for the eastern conference finals and now the San Antonio Spurs are up 1-0 over the Oklahoma City Thunder after the first game of the west conference finals, meaning the number one seeds held serve.

The Pacers are looking to win over the Miami Heat after taking Game 1 and they are finally looking like the team that everyone expected after clinching the top seed in the east. Indiana has waited a year for this series and it comes after the team lost to the Heat in seven games last year and now they are trying to get some revenge against LeBron and company. James and Dwyane Wade have lost Game 1 before and have been able to come back to win the series and now they will have to do it against a tough Pacers team.

Miami coasted into the second round with a four game sweep against the Bobcats and then they won in five games against the Brooklyn Nets and now they have their toughest test with the Pacers. Miami is one of the best teams in the league at making adjustments and they surely will make some heading into Game 2 and everyone is expecting them to bounce back after going down 1-0. Wade looked good in the first game despite Lance Stephenson's comments and he led the team with 27 points while James was tops in rebounds and assists.

Indiana got a great game from Paul George with 24 points and Roy Hibbert had nine rebounds, while Stephenson had eight assists in the game. The team is one of the best defensive teams in the league and they will try and lock down Miami on Tuesday night. The Spurs dominated the Thunder on Monday and they won the first game to take a 1-0 lead in the west finals and now Oklahoma City will have to try and rally. The team got 28 points from Kevin Durant in the loss, while Tim Duncan led the spurs with 27 points and Tony Parker had 12 assists.
