After Action Report
The Heat survived the Pacers 99-97. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Heat couldn't shake the cold spell; the Pacers owned the glass, generating extra possessions. Tonight's Pacers utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Heat · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Pacers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Pacers · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
