"The gun is always loaded," Rush said. "If I'm open, I'm goingto take the shot. I knew we needed threes when I came in, so Icame in firing." Granger added some insurance when he hit a 13-foot jumper with40 seconds remaining to put the Pacers ahead, 87-82. Granger's final shot was needed as Heat guard Ricky Davisgrabbed the rebound from Rush's 3-point miss with four secondsleft, dribbled up the court and made a desperation 3-pointer astime expired from just behind the half-court line. "We're not going to win every game, but we're not going to stopplaying," Granger said. "We're going to play our style untilthe buzzer. I would bet to say we're going to win more thanwe're going to lose." Ike Diogu scored 16 points and Mike Dunleavy added 15 for thePacers, who are off to a 2-0 start for the second time in threeseasons. Indiana forward Jermaine O'Neal, who sat out the opener with ahyperextended left knee, had 10 points, nine rebounds, acareer-high seven assists and three blocks in 24 minutes. "I'm not looking to score a lot," O'Neal said. "I'm looking tosoften the defense up with the pass. I wanted to play a fewmore minutes because I wanted to get as many assists aspossible. I feel like that changes the dynamics of the game." Cook, who was making his Heat debut after not playing in theseason opener on Thursday against the Detroit Pistons, scored 17points to pace Miami. "Coach (Pat Riley) has told me to be ready, my time could comeat any time," Cook said. "Tonight was that night."
