After Action Report
The Heat survived the Pacers 96-95. The Pacers couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Heat. Second-chance points piled up for the Heat; Heat's defenders refused to give up clean looks. Whispers of a Pacers locker-room rift aren't helping. Tonight's Pacers utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Survive-and-advance type win.
