After Action Report
In Miami, the Pacers ran roughshod over the Heat 131-101. The Pacers got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Pacers' defenders refused to give up clean looks; the Heat couldn't shake the cold spell. The Pacers bench chemistry carried them. Heat's per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. It broke open after the break.
What tipped it
- Heat · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Heat · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Pacers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
