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.

What tipped it

  • Heat · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Heat · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Pacers · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
  • Pacers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
