After Action Report
In Miami, the Heat squeaked past the Pacers 103-98. The Pacers couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Heat. The Heat played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; Heat's old heads steadied the ship in the swings. Pacers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Style points be damned.
