After Action Report
The Heat outlasted the Pacers 118-105. The better team simply showed up tonight. Heat's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Heat's defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Heat bench chemistry carried them. The Pacers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it
- Pacers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- 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 · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
