After Action Report

The Heat handled the Pacers 112-95. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Heat owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Heat's defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Pacers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Tonight's Pacers utilization choices clashed with the team identity.
