After Action Report

The Heat handled the Pacers 113-99. Heat's scorers couldn't be contained. The Heat carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; the Pacers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Heat bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Heat per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
