After Action Report

The Pacers survived the Heat 111-107. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Pacers bent the defense out of shape from deep; Heat's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Pacers bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Pacers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.

What tipped it

  • Heat · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Pacers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
