After Action Report
In Miami, the Pacers stunned the Heat 108-104. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Pacers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Pacers' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Pacers bench chemistry carried them. The Pacers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
