After Action Report
The Pacers snuck past the Heat 104-103. Pacers' scorers couldn't be contained. The Pacers carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; shots just aren't falling for the Heat lately. The Pacers bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Pacers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Style points be damned.
