After Action Report
The Pacers buried the Heat 108-87. Pacers' scorers couldn't be contained. The Pacers came in with something to prove after a loss; Pacers' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Pacers bench chemistry carried them. Heat's per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
