After Action Report

The Heat blew the doors off the Pacers 140-107. The Pacers had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Heat came in with something to prove after a loss; the Pacers steamroller is in full effect right now. The Heat locker room is humming, and it showed. Heat's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. It was over by halftime.
