Pic: Last night’s Pacers/Heat game produced the most beautiful basketball picture of the year

A perfectly framed in-game shot of all five Indiana Pacers around the basket, with the huge stands of Bankers Life Fieldhouse looming over them. Majestic.

Last night in Indiana the defending NBA champions the Miami Heat beat the Indiana Pacers 87-83 to tie up the Eastern Conference finals at one game all.

It was a low-scoring, but seriously intense game, as these two teams *cliche alert* really don’t like each other.

Anyway, photographer Ron Hoskins captured the prettiest picture of the basketball year at the game when he snapped Pacer Paul george snaring a rebound. With his team-mates perfectly flanked, superhero movie style, on either side of him, and with a packed stadium all around, it’s just a beautiful shot.

By the way, the main picture, of Norris Cole splitting the Pacers defence, is pretty damn cool too.
