After Action Report

In Miami, the Heat rolled past the Pacers 132-105. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Heat cashed in. Second-chance points piled up for the Heat; the Heat carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. The Heat locker room is humming, and it showed. The Heat rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Never a doubt in this one.

What tipped it

  • Heat · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Heat · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • Heat · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Pacers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
