After Action Report
The Heat upended the Pacers 132-127 in overtime. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Heat cashed in. The Heat came in with something to prove after a loss; Pacers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Heat rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Add it to the list of nights the favorite forgot to show up.
What tipped it

- Pacers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Pacers · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
- Pacers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
