After Action Report
The Heat buried the Pacers 119-83. The breakneck pace played right into Heat's hands. The Heat pushed the pace until the other side broke; Pacers' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Heat locker room is humming, and it showed. Heat's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
