After Action Report
The Heat buried the Pacers 133-99. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Heat cashed in. Heat's high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Heat answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. Whispers of a Pacers locker-room rift aren't helping. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
What tipped it
- Pacers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Pacers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Heat · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Heat · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
