After Action Report
The Heat knocked off the Pacers 119-112. Heat's scorers couldn't be contained. The Heat pushed the pace until the other side broke; fresh off a statement win, the Pacers stayed locked in. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
What tipped it
- Heat · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Pacers · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Pacers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
