After Action Report
The Pacers outlasted the Heat 100-89. The Heat couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Pacers. Heat's Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Pacers locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Pacers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
