After Action Report

In Indiana, the Heat rolled past the Pacers 124-98. Heat's scorers couldn't be contained. The Heat owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Pacers pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Heat bench chemistry carried them. The Pacers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Garbage time started early.

What tipped it

  • Heat · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
