MIAMI -- Winning consecutive games at home for the first time all season isnt exactly something to celebrate, particularly when the season is nearly two months old.For the Miami Heat, its a start.Hassan Whiteside had 26 points and 22 rebounds, and the Heat clamped down defensively to beat the Indiana Pacers 95-89 on Wednesday night. Miami held the Pacers to 37 percent shooting and outrebounded them 58-38.Guess thats what you can expect with a Heat-Pacers game, regardless of who the faces are, Miami coach Erik Spoelstra said. It was good for us to grind out another one.No, this wasnt one of those playoff battles with the Pacers that featured LeBron James and Dwyane Wade almost always finding a way for the Heat in recent years. This time, it was the likes of Tyler Johnson and James Johnson coming up big, combining for 29 points off the bench -- and Whiteside simply controlling the paint during his 34 minutes.I try to lead by example, Whiteside said.Paul George scored 22 for the Pacers, who were hoping for a season-best third straight win and instead managed just 10 points in the fourth quarter. CJ Miles added 15 for Indiana.This is a game that we should have won, George said. Its frustrating. ... We played OK. We just didnt finish well.Neither team led by more than seven, and the Heat got to that margin after James Johnson found Goran Dragic for a layup and a 92-85 lead with 3:35 left.They needed to hang on desperately from there.Miami didnt score again until there were 12.9 seconds left, when Josh Richardson sealed the win with a dunk that put the Heat up five after Indiana didnt foul. The Pacers missed three 3-point tries that would have tied the game in the final 2 minutes, one by George and the last two by Myles Turner.The Pacers shot 5 for 18 in the fourth. They went scoreless over a 7-minute stretch in the second half, and Miami took the lead for good during that drought.They basically muscled us and broke our offensive execution, Pacers coach Nate McMillan said.TIP-INSPacers: Monta Ellis (right groin strain) was sidelined again, and Rodney Stuckey played through a bruised left knee. ... This was the start of Indianas sixth of 17 back-to-backs this season. ... George has played 19 games at Miami, including playoffs. Indianas record in those games is 2-17.Heat: It was the fourth time Whiteside reached 20 points and 20 rebounds in the same game, the second this season. ... Justise Winslow returned from a 16-game absence due to a sore left wrist and scored two points in 21 minutes. ... Dragic missed his first seven shots before connecting on a pull-up for his first basket early in the third quarter. He shot 4 for 15. ...

Anthony Calvillo, through 20 CFL seasons, was frequently invincible and largely stoic in the heat of competition. But underneath the professional exterior he was, and is, compellingly human.Ferraris Sebastian Vettel says if he could make one change to F1 it would be a return to normally aspirated engines. The German feels a lot of F1s current problems stem from the decision to switch to V6 hybrid units and feels it was the wrong direction for the sport to take.I personally think the current power unit regulations are too expensive and it would be beneficial for all the teams and the whole sport to go back to something normally aspirated, Vettel said. Pointed out to him that a proposal to cap engine costs was vetoed by Ferrari last year, Vettel stood by his comments - after a moment of awkwardness.What I said and I stick to what I said is that these power units are too expensive, he added. They have cost a lot of money already and they will keep costing a lot of money.Everything else that we have been trying to with changes to rules doesnt change the key problem and I think a lot of problems that we face now goes back to the fact it was the wrong way to go. It is easy now to raise your hand and admit that, but we are still stuck with what we have.I cant change the rules, I think it is a good thing that you dont let one driver or one person change the rules, but the way it is currently set up is probably not the best eeither.dddddddddddd Vettels views were echoed by Bernie Ecclestone who says the alternative engine idea is absolutely not dead and doesnt feel F1 should be used for road car technology experiments.This [V6] engine is good, Im told, for the car manufacturers - although nobody can ever use that engine, the F1 supremo told Sky Sports F1.But if it is and they want to use it to experiment they should use it in the World Touring Car Championship.Its very difficult for Mercedes, and Ferrari for that matter I suppose, to agree to change a power unit that theyve spent a fortune developing.
