After Action Report

The Heat outlasted the Pacers 116-110. The breakneck pace played right into Heat's hands. Heat's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Heat ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire. The Heat bench chemistry carried them. The Pacers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
