After Action Report
The Heat rolled past the Pacers 108-81. Heat's scorers couldn't be contained. The Heat carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; the Pacers couldn't shake the cold spell. The Heat bench chemistry carried them. Pacers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Pacers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Pacers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Heat · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Heat · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
