After Action Report

The Pacers blew the doors off the Heat 128-105. The Heat had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Pacers bent the defense out of shape from deep; Heat's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.

What tipped it

  • Heat · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Heat · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Heat · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
  • Heat · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
