After Action Report

The Pacers fended off the Heat 122-115. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Pacers cashed in. Pacers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Heat came in with something to prove after a loss. The Pacers bench chemistry carried them. The Pacers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.

What tipped it

  • Heat · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Pacers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Pacers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
