After Action Report

The Heat demolished the Pacers 130-88. The Heat got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Heat came in with something to prove after a loss; the Pacers couldn't shake the cold spell. The Heat locker room is humming, and it showed. Pacers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Never a doubt in this one.

What tipped it

  • 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 · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Pacers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
