After Action Report
The Pacers ran roughshod over the Heat 112-89. Pacers' offense had its way with the Heat. Pacers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Heat's old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Pacers bench chemistry carried them. Pacers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. It broke open after the break.
What tipped it
- Heat · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- 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.
