The Pacers took care of the Heat 103-91. The Heat couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Pacers. Second-chance points piled up for the Pacers; fresh off a statement win, the Pacers stayed locked in. The Pacers bench chemistry carried them. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
