After Action Report
The Heat survived the Pacers 97-92. Ugly basketball, but the Heat did just enough. Heat's high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Pacers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Pacers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Pacers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Heat · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Heat · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
