    After two altercations in the past two games, Indiana Pacers forward Danny Granger vowed Saturday he won't back down from LeBron James in heated moments of their intense series against the Miami Heat.

    Granger has helped guide the Pacers to a surprising 2-1 series lead over the Heat entering Game 4 on Sunday at Bankers Life Fieldhouse. All three games have featured physical play with technical and flagrant fouls.

    James and Granger had to be separated by teammates and referees for incidents in the past two games. The faceoffs have stemmed from James appearing to take exception by extending his elbow in Granger's direction after the Pacers forward either grabbed or pushed James during play.

    "That's part of basketball. That's part of two men battling," Granger said after the Pacers' practice Saturday. "I'm not going to back down from anybody and he's not going to back down from anybody. And when you get that, you'll get some altercations."
