After Action Report
The Pacers snuck past the Heat 106-103. Ugly basketball, but the Pacers did just enough. The Pacers looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode; fresh off a statement win, the Heat stayed locked in. The Pacers bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Pacers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Survive-and-advance type win.
