After Action Report
The Heat handled the Pacers 121-106. The Pacers had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Heat came in with something to prove after a loss; the Pacers owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Pacers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Pacers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
