After Action Report

The Pacers ran roughshod over the Heat 124-92. Pacers' scorers couldn't be contained. Second-chance points piled up for the Pacers; the Pacers carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one. The Pacers locker room is humming, and it showed. Heat's per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Garbage time started early.

What tipped it

  • Pacers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Pacers · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
  • Pacers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Heat · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Heat · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
