After Action Report
The Heat squeaked past the Pacers 97-92. The Pacers couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Heat. The Heat answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Pacers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Heat locker room is humming, and it showed. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Heat · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Heat · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Pacers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Pacers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
