After Action Report
The Heat blew the doors off the Pacers 138-110. Heat controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Heat's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Heat answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. Whispers of a Pacers locker-room rift aren't helping. Early returns: the Heat per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Pacers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Heat · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Heat · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
