After Action Report
The Pacers survived the Heat 98-96. The Heat couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Pacers. The Pacers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; fresh off a statement win, the Heat stayed locked in. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

- Pacers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Heat · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Heat · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
