Australian young gun Johnny Furphy was back in double figures as the Indiana Pacers banked consecutive NBA wins for the first time in more than a month with a dominant 123-99 victory over Miami.
After ending a 13-game losing streak in a confidence-boosting triumph away to Charlotte, the Pacers never trailed and broke clear with a big third quarter against the Heat in Indianapolis on Saturday night (local time).
They ended the period on a 34-14 run, led by as much as 29 points and went on to snap a seven-game home losing streak in front of a sold-out crowd of 17,274 at Gainbridge Fieldhouse.
