After Action Report
The Pacers took care of the Heat 115-101. Pacers controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. The Pacers carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; Heat's outside barrage was a constant threat. The Pacers bench chemistry carried them. Heat's per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Survive-and-advance type win.
