Miami Heat vs Indiana Pacers takes place in the NBA Playoffs Eastern Conference Finals Game 7 on Monday night with the series tied at three games apiece after Indiana took Game 6, 91-77 on their home court in Indianapolis. The series now moves to Miami for the most pivotal game of the playoffs. The winner of this game will be the Eastern Conference Champion. The game is scheduled to tip off at 8.30 p.m. ET and can be watched online through free live stream (details below).

As the final horn in a Game 6 loss to the Indiana Pacers was sounding, LeBron James walked toward several of his Miami Heat teammates to shake some hands and share a couple of quick words.

His message was clear: Get ready for Game 7.

Here comes the ultimate game. To the winner, a trip to the NBA Finals. To the loser, an offseason loaded with regret. It's that simple now for the champion Heat and the confident Pacers, who meet in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference finals Monday night in Miami -- a perk the Heat earned by finishing with the league's best record this season.

"Each and every year there are 30 teams that would love to be a part of this, to have one game to advance to the NBA Finals," James said. "And there's two teams that's in this position. And it's something that you can't substitute, this feeling. You can't substitute the atmosphere that we're going to be in on Monday night for both teams. We should all cherish this moment."

For the Heat, it's a chance to move into the finals for the third straight year and keep hope alive of winning a second straight title. For the Pacers, it's a chance to cap what would surely go into the books as one of the biggest upsets in NBA playoff history, considering that they finished 16 1/2 games behind the Heat in the regular season.

None of that matters much now. The Pacers have beaten Miami five of nine times this season. They need a sixth, or else it was all for naught.

"It is a closeout game and an elimination game," Pacers coach Frank Vogel said. "Our approach right now is not if we lose we're out -- our approach is if we win, we get to the finals. And that's what we're going for. We're going to give our best shot and try to win the Eastern Conference championship."

Monday's winner will open the NBA Finals on Thursday against San Antonio.

"It's going to be tough in their arena," Pacers guard Lance Stephenson said. "We've just got to bring it. If we play aggressive like we do at home, we can get the 'W."

The game will be broadcast live on the Turner Network Television (TNT)
