After Action Report
In Indiana, the Pacers pulled away from the Heat 103-89. The Pacers won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Pacers' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Pacers locker room is humming, and it showed. The Heat rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Pacers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Heat · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
