After Action Report
In Indiana, the Pacers squeaked past the Heat 116-114 in overtime. Pacers torched the Heat on the offensive end. The Pacers pushed the pace until the other side broke; Heat's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Pacers locker room is humming, and it showed. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

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