After Action Report
The Pacers ran roughshod over the Heat 137-102. Pacers torched the Heat on the offensive end. Pacers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Pacers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Pacers bench chemistry carried them. The Heat rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Heat · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Heat · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Heat · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Pacers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Pacers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Pacers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
