After Action Report
The Pacers stunned the Heat 119-94. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Pacers cashed in. The Pacers carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Pacers' defenders refused to give up clean looks. 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.
