After Action Report
The Pacers survived the Heat 99-98. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Pacers played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; Pacers' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Heat · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Heat · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Heat · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Pacers · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
