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.

What tipped it

  • Heat · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Pacers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Pacers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Pacers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
