Intro:

The Miami Heat secured a 114-96 win over the Indiana Pacers.

Pacers Center, Roy Hibbert, admitted they had suffered by not coming out aggressively on defence.

Script:

SOUNDBITE (English): Erik Spoelstra, Miami Heat Head Coach:

"Tonight was a team win and we just tried to focus on the task of playing one possession at a time and trying to play those possessions well. Had a lot of contributions tonight so it was a good step forward but we know how competitive this series is - we already have to start putting this behind us and start getting ready for the next challenge, the next battle in Game 4."

SOUNDBITE (English): Dwyane Wade, Miami Heat Guard:

"You know we was very efficient on the offensive end. You know we got the shots that we wanted, we needed. We moved the ball around, we got to a lot of post ups, a lot of different things so I think even when they made they run we continued to work the game that worked for us in the beginning. But most importantly it was all about the defensive end, it was not turning the ball over so they can see, you know, see all five of us on the other end of the floor."

SOUNDBITE (English): LeBron James, Miami Heat Forward:

"I think it was a little bit of everything. Made a conscious effort to sit down in the post tonight, try to put pressure on their defense ... Spo (Erik Spoelstra) and the coaching staff wanted me to be down there tonight and my teammates allowed me to do that so it was a little bit of everything."

SOUNDBITE (English): Frank Vogel, Indiana Pacers Head Coach:

"Obviously they're one of the great teams that this league has every seen. Defending champs and, you know, on a historic run this year. If you're not perfect guarding them they'll do what they did to us tonight. Sometimes when you are perfect with your coverages they still find a way to make baskets. But we didn't have a great defensive night, wasn't horrible, as bad as the numbers looked. You have to credit Miami for playing a great basketball game."

SOUNDBITE (English): Roy Hibbert, Indiana Pacers Center:

"You know defensively we didn't come out aggressive I don't believe. You know, I'm a, you know, take the hit on this a lot for the start and for the momentum. Just, you know, we had to pick our poison cause (Chris) Bosh was rolling, he was under the basket and I had to rotate and (Udonis) Haslem got off and he was hitting a lot of shots that he normally wasn't hitting and he was letting me hear it and I gotta respond. I gotta move my feet and I gotta do both."
