After Action Report
In Miami, the Pacers upended the Heat 127-124. The Pacers got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Heat's high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Heat bent the defense out of shape from deep. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
What tipped it
- Heat · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Pacers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
