After Action Report
The Pacers buried the Heat 131-96. Pacers' scorers couldn't be contained. The Pacers played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; Pacers' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. Whispers of a Heat locker-room rift aren't helping. Never a doubt in this one.
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 · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
