In the playoffs, the Pacers defeated the Atlanta Hawks in seven games in the First Round, and the Washington Wizards in six games in the Semifinals to advance to the Conference Finals for the second straight year, only again to be stopped by the two-time defending NBA champion Miami Heat in six games, making it the third straight year that the Pacers had their playoff run ended by the Heat. Miami would go on to lose to a rejuvenated San Antonio Spurs team in a five-game NBA Finals series.
