Miami Heat center Chris Bosh has admitted that the playoff final between his side and the Indiana Pacers is the match everybody wanted ahead of Game One on Sunday.

The two teams will face each other in a potential seven-game series beginning on Sunday, with the Heat looking to add to their three title wins.

"This is what everybody wanted," Bosh revealed on Friday, according to the Miami Herald.

"I know a lot of people will pay attention to what happened lately, but they're still the best team in the East.

"We knew we had to beat the Pacers to get where we wanted to go. And same with them. I don't think one team is head and shoulders above the other."

The first fixture will be played in Indiana at the Bankers Life Fieldhouse.
