Andersen inactive, Lewis starts Game 4 for Heat

MIAMI (AP) - Heat forward Chris Andersen is inactive for Game 4 of the Eastern Conference finals against Indiana with a bruised left thigh.

Andersen has been dealing with an array of nagging aches and pains for some time, and the Heat made the announcement about 45 minutes before their game with the Pacers on Monday night.

The Heat say Andersen is day to day.

Also for Game 4, Rashard Lewis is in the starting lineup in place of Udonis Haslem.

Lewis earned rave reviews from Heat coach Erik Spoelstra for the way he defended in Game 3. Miami outscored Indiana by 21 points when Lewis was on the floor in that game, even though the veteran forward finished without a single point, rebound, assist or steal.
