After Action Report
The Heat snuck past the Pacers 100-97. The Pacers couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Heat. Heat's old heads steadied the ship in the swings; the Pacers pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Pacers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Pacers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
