After Action Report
In Miami, the Heat blew the doors off the Pacers 146-122. The breakneck pace played right into Heat's hands. Heat's old heads steadied the ship in the swings; Pacers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. It broke open after the break.
What tipped it
- Heat · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
