After Action Report
The Heat survived the Pacers 99-97. The better team simply showed up tonight. Heat's shot-blockers turned the paint into a no-fly zone; the Heat carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one. The Heat bench chemistry carried them. Pacers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Style points be damned.
