After Action Report

The Heat squeaked past the Pacers 122-117 in double overtime. The Heat got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Heat's defenders refused to give up clean looks; the Pacers owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Heat bench chemistry carried them. Pacers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
