Dwyane Wade took offense with Indiana’s emotional outburst after the Pacers secured a series-tying win in Game 2.

"I heard they wanted to be like the Dallas Mavericks, in a sense," Wade said about an apparent reference to Pacers coach Frank Vogel using last year's Mavs team, which beat the Heat in Miami for the title, as motivation for Indiana. "I saw their little celebration at the end of (Game 2). I don't know if they didn't expect to win, but every night we go out on the court, we expect to win."

Wade chose not to elaborate on what specifically irritated him.

"They say their identity, they say they want to be like Dallas," Wade said. "So they celebrated like Dallas, I guess."
