After Action Report
The Heat took care of the Pacers 110-97. Heat torched the Pacers on the offensive end. The Heat steamroller is in full effect right now; Pacers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Heat bench chemistry carried them. Pacers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
What tipped it
- Pacers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Heat · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
- Heat · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
