After Action Report
The Pacers snuck past the Heat 109-106. Pacers' offense had its way with the Heat. The Pacers owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Pacers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Heat looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Heat rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
