After Action Report
The Pacers shocked the Heat 116-110. 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 locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Pacers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
