After Action Report
The Pacers fended off the Heat 133-124. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Pacers cashed in. Pacers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Pacers owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Pacers bench chemistry carried them.
What tipped it
- Heat · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Heat · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Pacers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Pacers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Pacers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
